I have spent more than 50 years in obstetrics and maternal-fetal medicine and delivered more than 10,000 babies. I am Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Maternal-Fetal Medicine at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, and Senior Ethics Consultant at Northwell Health.
My research uses US natality data to study how women give birth: induction, cesarean delivery and population outcomes. With Frank Chervenak I work on preventive ethics and the professional responsibility of physicians to the women they care for, including what informed consent should actually mean.
ObGyn Intelligence is where that work becomes usable: tools that open on an answer, classes that prepare women for pregnancy and birth, and commentary that follows the evidence, including when the evidence challenges current practice.
