Andrew H Scheinfeld MD

Dr. Scheinfeld recently delivered my baby boy and the experience was only a pleasurable one. I highly recommend him and would definitely use him for my next one.

I couldn’t rave about Dr. Scheinfeld enough. I was referred to him from a friend when I discovered I was pregnant for the first time. He was pretty swamped with clients so I was grateful he took me on.
I was a high risk patient and he couldn’t have made me feel more relaxed and comfortable all throughout my pregnancy. I had an amazing delivery thanks to him. I delivered my baby 6 weeks early and he made sure to get her here safely. I have never seen a doctor who has been delivering babies for as long as he has that still cares so much about his patients. He stayed at the hospital for 24 hours with me, checking in every few hours. He could have gone home but he stayed in another room reading because he didn’t want to miss anything. How he handled my somewhat scary (to me) delivery with ease and confidence will never be forgotten. If I ever move out of NYC I will fly back just to have him deliver any babies of mine in the future. I truly love Dr. Scheinfeld and will forever be grateful for all he did for us.

Dr. Scheinfeld just delivered our baby at NYU three days ago. I cannot say enough good things about him. He has a solo practice which means you will see him every visit and he will deliver your baby. He never takes a day off and has only missed one patient delivery in his decades of practicing. To give you some frame of reference, he delivered three babies or more every day we were in the hospital. Other larger practices may be slightly more administratively convenient, but you may end up with a stranger delivering your baby when she comes. If you prioritize familiarity with your OB-​GYN and a calm, reassuring presence, this is your guy. The nurses in the maternity ward at NYU love him too, which validated all we felt about him. You cannot go wrong with him, he’s a genuinely caring person, and you can’t teach that in Med school. NYU hospital was a phenomenal place to deliver too. Huge shout out to the maternity nurses, they were on point.

First and foremost, I would highly recommend Dr. Scheinfeld to any one looking for a OB/​GYN midtown NYC, or if you live in and around Williamsburg, BK. His staff is very hospitable and very accomodating. Dr. Scheinfeld was very zen, extremely professional, and comforting throughout my pregnancy. He believes in the bodies natural ability to give birth and is not pushy, invasive, or aggressive with his practice. He lets you know step by step what he is doing and discusses wholeheartedly any questions you might have. In the delivery room, Dr. Scheinfeld is all about the business. MEANING: he wants to make sure you are safe, well and delivering a healthy baby. HE, HIMSELF, delivers ALL his babys. (Talk about Johnny on the spot!) You can be rest assured the doctor you have established a relationship with over 10 months will be assisting you and delivering you at a great facility (NYU Langone Medical Center) with a great nurse alongside him. (the staff at NYU Langone Medical Center are amazing, including his residency doctors and the nurses post delivery).
I saw Dr. Scheinfeld for my monthly prenatal checkups in the Manhattan office. Because I had Metroplus, sonograms were only covered in his (Tues. Thurs.) Williamsburg office (an agreement he has with the assisting doctor). We did have the option of going to a more convenient place for sonograms (i.e. Beth Israel Group), but because I wanted to work solely with Dr. Scheinfeld, my husband and I would gladly travel to Brooklyn via the J, M, Z (two stops after Broadway/​Lafayette). It was worth it. He is there (if not out delivering a baby), and its a very easy commute to and from the city. Its definitely worth staying with him for both (office visits and sonograms) if your insurance is not accepted in Manhattan (i.e. sonograms). To do your blood work, he sends you Diagnostics Lab located within a walking distance from his office. Walk-​ins are welcome. If you are reading this and thinking that the extra work you have to do or places to travel to get stuff done, I am telling you, IN THE END it is ALL worth having Dr. Scheinfeld deliver your baby.
I delivered at 40 weeks and 2 days. I live within walking distance from his office and NYU Langone Medical Center. Because Dr. Scheinfeld prefers to let nature take its course in the birthing process, he suggested I do most of my laboring at home. This would mean less intervention with the hospital and me being able to work through and breathe through my contractions (with the help of my husband). When my contractions were one minute apart, for one minute for over 2 hours I was able to call him directly. He advised me what to do. I, on the other hand, did not go to the hospital right away b/​c I felt personally I could do more laboring at home. I wanted the LEAST intervention as possible. I had already discussed having a NATURAL, vaginal delivery, with no meds in our visits. So I waited for another 2 hours and only on my husbands accord, we took a cab and checked in at the hospital. This was my first birthing process, so I didnt know that the horrific contractions that my husband was helping me breathe through allowed dilation to occur. When the resident doctor checked me I was 7.5 dilated (you deliver at 10). They immediately called Dr. Schienfeld who arrived in less than 15 minutes. I checked in at 3:30p, my 9lb. 8oz. HEALTHY baby boy was delivered ALL NATURAL, no meds, no anesthetic, no epideral at 6;00p.
Dr. Scheinfeld IS a professional in and out of the delivery room. He is confident in his profession and delivers all types of scenarios. When I say that he is all about the body taking its natural course through birthing, I mean he also delivers a lot of patients opting to get an epideral. Whatever the case, he is the most remarkable doctor I have ever experienced and look forward to delivering ALL of my babys with him. G-​d willing. He is truly unique, caring, special and surely one of a kind when you consider the hustle and bustle of NYC doctor scene.
Another note I might add, sometimes very rarely, you will have to wait in the doctors office maybe fairly long considering what your patience level is. Just be aware that sometimes on Mondays, after big holidays, your wait time might be delayed, BUT it is NOT always like this. Think about emergency calls, emergency walk-​ins, and him working very hard to provide for a large clientele. He always acknowledges your wait time, but this goes to show, he is the BEST one around and in high demand for his successful, genuine, productivity. I kept telling myself, this doctor is worth the wait and worth delivering out of NYU Langone Medical Center. Take a book, a snack, and be prepared at time AT TIMES to wait.
Hope this review gave you a bit of insight of what you are considering and looking for. This doctor changed my life. There are still good, old school, genuine practices out here, even in good ol’ NYC. Please walk in with an open mind.

Dr. Scheinfeld is so respectful and kind, attentive and supportive, and old school in all the best ways in his care for his patients. Nothing but great things to say.

I have been incredibly happy with Dr. Scheinfeld. His office is always accommodating when i need a last minute appointment and he is always very nice and affable.

I dont know what the other reviewer is talking about, I have been a patient of Dr. Scheinfeld’s and he and his staff are nothing but amazing, kind and VERY accomidating. He is truly old school doctor who takes his time and is amazing in the delivery room.

Dr. Scheinfeld delivered my two children, and cared for my health through two very different pregnancies. He always maintains a calm aura and makes every possible adjustment to accomodate a patient’s unque style and situation. I see many doctors in NYC and Scheinfeld’s office is the only one where they know my name, where the front desk is friendly (Lynn is amazing) and where the doctor picks up his cell phone day or night when you call. He may be one of the few remaining private OBGYNs in the city. Because of this, he doesn’t have the infrastructure of some other offices, but what he offers in personal attention more than makes up for it.

I have been incredibly happy with him as my OBGYN. I am having my first baby, and after calling lots of places and feeling like just an insurance number, Scheinfeld’s office was the nicest and made me feel very comfortable. Its like having a small town single practitioner in a big city environment (he delivers at NYU). He’s also a very calming figure, and I feel reassured that every thing is fine after every appointment.
His approach is easy going and not intrusive, reassuring me that my body was meant to carry a baby and deliver it naturally, and he doesn’t like to make unnecessary interventions. Which is how I feel about it too, so its nice to know your doctor is in the same page. So far he’s been right, as my pregnancy has been drama free and relatively easy.

My coworker has been very dissapointed going to this OBGYN. Not only is there a total lack of concern for her health, the office is terribly unaccomodating. If she comes in in pain and with discomfort, this should be immediatly addressed, and she shouldn’t have to wait a week to get results. Another concern is that the doctor doesnt have a sonogram machine or technician in the office? I’ve never heard of this going to an OBGYN. If I need a sonogram I shouldn’t have to make an appt at a lab and then wait another few days to get my results or even worse to have to deal with improperly processed results and delays. There are plenty of doctors in NYC, take a pass on this one!
