Kate J. Baicy, MD, PhD

As a member of the Obstetric Patient Safety Officer team at NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, I provide around-the-clock coverage and oversight for all patients on the labor and postpartum floors. My philosophy centers on understanding the unique needs of each individual and ensuring the highest quality of care. I am passionate about safe labor and delivery and supporting pregnant individuals through one of the most significant events in their lives. My role allows me to blend clinical decision-making, prevention, and surgical expertise with patient care and teaching of medical students and residents, which I find incredibly fulfilling.

At NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, my team and I manage every type of pregnancy, from low-risk to high-risk cases. We use the latest guidelines from the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, along with NYU Langone-specific protocols, to tailor treatments that align with patient goals and preferences. My goal is to prevent unnecessary procedures and ensure the best possible outcomes for both mother and baby.

My journey into medicine was inspired by my stepmother, a nurse in the Philippines, whose impact on her patients was profound. This inspiration, combined with my interest in how the body and mind work, led me to pursue a career in obstetrics and gynecology. I am proud to be part of NYU Langone. Nothing is more fulfilling than hearing that first cry from a newborn and seeing the emotion on their parents' faces, knowing that my work contributed to their safe delivery.
