Carolyn Oh, MD

As an obstetrician and gynecologist at NYU Langone, I provide comprehensive and compassionate care to women during some of the most critical moments of their lives. My philosophy centers on education, preventive care, and careful listening, which I believe are essential in making a lasting impact on my patients’ quality of life and wellbeing.

I specialize in obstetrics, particularly in labor and delivery and the postpartum period. With years of experience as a patient safety officer at NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn, I oversee the care of women in the later stages of pregnancy, during labor, and after delivery. My role involves ensuring that mothers, babies, and their families have a positive and safe birthing experience. I believe in shared decision-making, in which the clinician brings scientific knowledge and compassionate listening, and the patient brings her life experience, culture, and priorities.

My journey began as an emergency medical technician in New York City. This experience underscored the importance of providing support and access to preventive healthcare, which can significantly improve patients’ wellbeing and save lives. At NYU Langone, I work with a highly trained, compassionate, and dedicated team that strives to deliver exceptional care to every patient, from low risk to high-risk cases. The trust my patients place in me and the opportunity to be part of their lives and stories is the most fulfilling aspect of my job.
