About Us
Hamptons Gynecology and Obstetrics was founded in 1971 to provide high quality, efficient gynecological and obstetrical care to the women of the East End. At the present time, care is provided by eight doctors, four nurse practitioners, one midwife and two physician assistants. We maintain four offices, Southampton, Riverhead, Hampton Bays and Center Moriches. The doctors are all on the staff of Southampton Hospital.
In response to patient demand, all of our doctors have signed contracts with many managed care companies in recent years. The group also provides care through several local clinics, and all of our doctors speak to local groups, as well as conducting educational seminars in our offices. All of these efforts support our overriding goal - to provide quality care to all patients.
