The 10 Best Hospital-Based Midwives in NYC

Last updated: 2026-11-11

388 NYC midwives fit this category. This list shows 60 of them from 24 neighborhoods, ranked with the same editorial criteria as our neighborhood pages. Hospital-based midwives work inside a labor and delivery unit, so obstetricians, anesthesia and NICU care are on site.

How we ranked: Ranked by experience, credentials, hospital access, patient feedback and verified practice details. To keep this list distinct from neighborhood pages, no more than two providers from one neighborhood appear in the top ten, and no neighborhood page shares more than 20% of its midwives with this page.
