OB/GYNPhysiciansLocations

Pregnancy can be a very exciting but, also, an anxiety provoking time in a woman’s life. Our physicians and midwives are equipped to manage routine prenatal care, as well as provide care for high-risk patients and pregnancies.

The Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Starling Physicians provide coverage and is affiliated with the following hospitals: Hartford Hospital, The Hospital of Central Connecticut, Johnson Memorial Hospital, and UConn Health’s John Dempsey Hospital.

All of our offices offer ultrasound and fetal monitoring, allowing for care of many problems on-site. We also have a highly skilled and caring group of midwives in select locations who provide around the clock labor and delivery coverage for their patients.

Are you a woman seeking a dedicated provider who can deliver superior healthcare throughout your lifetime with a special emphasis on pregnancy, childbirth, gynecologic and reproductive health?

Would you like to develop a mutually rewarding relationship with your healthcare provider who can focus on your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs?

As midwives, we affirm your power and strength and the importance of your health and happiness.

Our Philosophy

Midwives honor the normalcy of women’s life cycle events. We believe in watchful waiting and non-intervention in normal processes, but you will receive appropriate intervention and technology when needed. You will be provided comprehensive, high quality care as we work collaboratively with other members of Starling’s OB/GYN team.

Our office is home to seven board certified physicians who provide both obstetrical and gynecologic care.

Our physicians offer in-office procedures including LEEP treatment for abnormal pap smears, Essure placement for permanent birth control, and Novasure for the management of heavy menstrual bleeding.

Crafting a Personalized Birthing Experience

Midwives are dedicated to providing a customized birth experience based on your wants and needs. After following you throughout your pregnancy, your midwife will be with you from the start of your birthing experience through your delivery. You will have complete labor support, continuity of care, and us by your side every step of the way. You will be provided family-centered care in which everyone you choose will play an important role in the birthing experience.

Starling provides midwifery coverage for labor and delivery. That means when you need us, we are there for you. We also are one of the only midwife groups in Connecticut to encourage vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).
