Obstetrics and Gynecology

Phone: (718) 670 -1517

During 2010, approximately 4,110 babies were delivered at New York Hospital Queens.

The department provides 24 hour, seven-day-a-week coverage. The department provides the highest standard of care and utilizes the most modern equipment to perform minimally invasive endoscopic and laser surgery for procedures such as hysteroscopy and laparoscopy. For these procedures we utilize endoscopic techniques to explore and treat uterine, tubal, ovarian, and other pelvic pathology. This requires smaller incisions, less post-operative pain, and permits faster recuperation and return to normal activities. During 2010, approximately 1,900 gynecological surgeries were performed.

Obstetrical Nurses

Our nursing staff continues to provide the educational base upon which patient comfort, reassurance and confidence rests. This is accomplished via "Prepared Childbirth" classes, counseling regarding women's health and planning issues, assessments and education regarding sexually transmitted diseases, and preventive services, including mammography and osteoporosis screening. Our emphasis on family-centered care begins with our nurses and social service support.
