As a doula, a student midwife and as a woman, I can't recommend Dr. Fischbein enough.
When I had my second child I had a homebirth and needed a back up OB. I had already been a doula working with birthing women in hospitals at that point for 2 years and had unfortunately some pretty negative views on OBs. Upon meeting with Dr. Fischbein, I instantly relaxed knowing that he would not only support the birth plan that I had (natural at home) but would also provide me with great medical back up should a medical need arise. He trusted in my ability to give birth and was very reassuring. I knew that he wouldn't needlessly intervene if we needed his help and care. Thankfully we didn't.
Many years later I find myself working side by side with as a student midwife. His whole hearted belief in woman centered care is inspiring. He practices with a deep trust of women and their ability to give birth naturally and normally without intervention. Yet he has the knowledge, expertise and skill to provide those interventions when they are medically necessary and needed.
If you are looking for a doctor who is willing to actually listen to you and who will actually provide you with information before an intervention, then look no further.
