Gynecology

Comprehensive preventive gynecology and surgical expertise

Dr. Nouriel provides the full spectrum of gynecologic care, from preventive screenings, contraception, and fertility counseling to the diagnosis and treatment of complex conditions such as PCOS, fibroids, and abnormal bleeding. She emphasizes early detection and proactive management, helping patients maintain long-term reproductive and overall health.

As a surgeon trained in minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Nouriel performs procedures that minimize recovery time whenever possible. She is also skilled in performing many surgical treatments safely and effectively in the office, offering patients a more convenient and comfortable alternative to hospital-based procedures. Patients value the reassurance of knowing that the same physician who manages their routine care can also expertly perform both in-office and hospital-based surgeries, eliminating the need for unfamiliar referrals.

Pregnancy

A trusted partner from first visit to delivery

Dr. Nouriel provides continuous, personalized pregnancy care — from preconception counseling to postpartum recovery. As a solo practitioner, she personally cares for each patient at every prenatal visit and is the physician who will deliver their baby. She is experienced in managing both low- and high-risk pregnancies, including VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), and is committed to helping families grow in a safe, supportive environment.

The journey through pregnancy is an intimate and transformative time, and Dr. Nouriel believes it should be guided by a physician who truly knows you. Her care fosters a genuine connection — not just with you, but with your partner and your growing family. She works closely with each expectant mother to customize a birth plan that reflects her wishes, within the boundaries of sound medical practice, and encourages partner involvement every step of the way. Her consistently low cesarean section rate reflects a careful, evidence-based approach that prioritizes safety while honoring patient preferences

Menopause

Expert guidance for a smooth transition and lasting health

As a Certified Menopause Practitioner, Dr Nouriel provides personalized care for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. She is experienced and confident in prescribing hormone replacement therapy when appropriate, tailoring treatment to address symptoms such as hot flushes, sleep disruption, and mood changes.

Her approach prioritizes not only symptom relief but also overall well-being — helping patients maintain a healthy weight, preserve lean muscle, strengthen bones, protect heart health, and support a positive mood. She incorporates evidence-based medical care with lifestyle guidance, including exercise and nutrition, to ensure long-term health and quality of life.

Insurance

Understanding Your Coverage

At our practice, we accept insurance as an out-of-network provider. Many patients use their out-of-network benefits to receive reimbursement for part of their care. Payment is made at the time of your visit, and we provide clear expectations for any out-of-pocket costs in advance so there are no surprises.

You’re More Than a Patient

In my practice, you’re not just a chart number or a 15-minute time slot. I take the time to know your history, your preferences, and your goals, so our relationship becomes the foundation for your health. Every visit is designed to make you feel heard, respected, and cared for.

Investing in Your Health

Choosing the right doctor is an important decision that you can make for your long-term wellbeing. It means continuity, accessibility, and care that’s truly personalized to you. Many patients find that the value of this approach far outweighs the rushed, impersonal experience of traditional in-network care.

Using Your Insurance

As a courtesy, we submit detailed superbills to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Your insurance may still be used for services such as Pap smears, lab work, imaging including mammograms and breast ultrasounds, and hospital stays. For hospital care, we work with your insurance if you have out-of-network benefits, as Lenox Hill is in-network with most commercial hospital plans.

Frequently asked questions

Practice & Phylosophy

What makes your practice different from other OB-GYN practices in New York City?

My practice is designed to be the opposite of traditional, high-volume healthcare. The focus is on building a meaningful, long-term relationship with each patient. Appointments are longer and more thoughtful, creating a calm, safe environment where you feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for — never like just another number.

Why is continuity of care important for women’s health?

Continuity fosters trust, mutual understanding, and better communication between patients and their physicians. It allows for earlier identification of issues, more accurate diagnoses, and more effective management of ongoing conditions. Research shows that consistent care — particularly with a female physician — can lead to better surgical outcomes, healthier pregnancies, and reduced hospital visits.

Pregnancy & Birth

If I am pregnant, will you be the one delivering my baby?

Yes. As a solo OB-GYN, I see you for all your prenatal visits and will be the one delivering your baby. This guarantees continuity of care and removes the uncertainty that can come with rotating physicians in a large group practice.

Appointments & Insurance

How soon can I get an appointment?

I limit the number of patients I see so appointments are never rushed and can be scheduled in a timely manner. In most cases, new patients are seen within one to two weeks, and urgent concerns are accommodated as quickly as possible.

What should I expect at my first visit?

Your first appointment is designed to give us the time to get to know each other and review your medical history in detail. We’ll discuss your current concerns, long-term health goals, and any previous experiences with care. A full examination will be performed if appropriate, and there will be plenty of time for questions so you leave feeling informed and confident about next steps.

Do you accept health insurance?

While I do not participate directly with insurance plans, my office will submit documentation to your insurance on your behalf as a courtesy for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Your insurance may still be used for services such as pap smears, blood tests, outside imaging (mammograms, breast ultrasounds, etc.), and hospital stays, for which we work with your insurance if you have out-of-network benefits.

Can I come to your office just for an annual exam?

Absolutely. Even if you only visit once a year, returning to the same physician builds familiarity and trust, which can improve the quality of your care. Over time, this continuity allows us to spot subtle changes and address concerns early.

Menopause Treatment

What kind of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) do you prescribe?

I offer FDA-approved, evidence-based hormone replacement therapy tailored to each patient’s needs. Depending on your symptoms, medical history, and goals, this may include estrogen, progesterone, or a combination — in the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary duration. Both systemic options (patches, pills, gels) and local vaginal therapies are available when appropriate.

I may prescribe bioidentical hormones if they are FDA-regulated and approved. I do not recommend unregulated or compounded hormone treatments unless a specific clinical need cannot be met otherwise. All decisions are made through a thorough, collaborative discussion so you feel informed and confident in your care.

Communication & Follow-Up

What is the best way to get in touch if I have questions between appointments?

My practice is designed for accessibility and responsive communication. You and your care will never get lost in the system. My team and I are available through clear, direct channels, and you can expect timely responses from someone who knows your history and understands your needs.
