At Weill Cornell Medicine, we understand that your reproductive and sexual health is highly personal and unique to you. Our team of doctors and nurses are here to provide comforting and caring support, along with expert medical care.
We provide compassionate and evidence-based care for people when they need birth control, as well as when they face unexpected or unhealthy pregnancies and need abortion care or miscarriage treatment. We are passionate about helping our patients achieve optimum health and well-being in support of your individual goals — as well as empowering you with information so that you can confidently make decisions about your healthcare and future. We support our patients’ decision making with respect and put your needs above all else. We know that all people deserve comprehensive information about their treatment options to make the best decision for themselves and their families.
The Weill Cornell Medicine Family Planning team includes subspecialty-trained physicians and dedicated nurses who provide compassionate care for our patients and their families. In addition to providing excellent, evidence-based care, we are also committed to rigorous research, physician training and education, and advocacy.
