About Professor Amos Grünebaum, MD
I’m a double board-certified ObGyn and Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist with 50 years of experience and more than 10,000 deliveries. I’m a professor, ethicist, and among the top 1% of published ObGyns in the United States.
I co-authored books on pregnancy and fertility with the iconic Dr. Ruth Westheimer—and once played an ObGyn opposite Marisa Tomei in a Ron Howard film (The Paper).
A pause. And a few honest thoughts on why I’m here.
Fifty years ago, I delivered my first baby.
I didn’t expect that decades later I’d be writing a newsletter — trying to figure out algorithms, subscriber counts, and what makes a “Note” go viral.
And yet, here I am.
I started ObGyn Intelligence because I couldn’t go quiet. Not with what I was seeing. Guidelines that don’t match the evidence. Patients making decisions without real information. A system that too often forgets that birth is a human event, not just a clinical one.
So I write.
Some weeks it feels like I’m shouting into a void. Other weeks, a reader — a patient, a resident, a midwife in another country — tells me something I wrote changed how they think. That’s the whole point.
I’m not building a brand. I’m continuing and even expanding a career the way I want to: honest, useful, and still pushing. And independet.
If you’re here, thank you. Share this with someone who needs smarter women’s health information..
Bridging the gap between complex clinical research and the ethical realities of patient care, ObGyn Intelligence provides a rigorous look at the evidence shaping the future of Women's Health.
Women’s health is profoundly personal. The information surrounding it should be profoundly honest.
Smarter, more compassionate care for women
Women deserve the truth about their bodies. Clinicians deserve evidence that holds up to scrutiny.
ObGyn Intelligence delivers both.
From debunking “abortion pill reversal” to questioning official guidelines when the data doesn’t support them—this is where evidence meets accountability in women’s health.
