Dr. David Fields is a wonderful doctor. I have four healthy children, all cared for during pregnancy and delivered by Dr. Fields. When I had my first appointment with him, some 8 years ago, I had just suffered a miscarriage at 10 weeks. Dr. Fields ordered extensive testing/blood work and as it turned out I suffer from thrombophilia, which simply means my blood clots very easily. After a thorough exam with a hematologist, she suggested I take some form of blood thinner throughout the pregnancy. Dr. Fields and I both agreed I would do daily Lovenox (blood thinner) shots up until a few days before delivery. Had he not sent me for such extensive blood work, this condition may never have been detected and who knows how many other miscarriages I might have had. With Dr. Fields I always feel like I'm being kept in the loop of things and he makes sure I am fully aware of my situation, may it be good or bad. He doesn't sugar coat things, but he always makes you feel like there are other options and nothing is so awful that there isn't a solution out there somewhere. My first was born full term. My second pregnancy was pretty uneventful and again another beautiful full term baby was born. My third pregnancy was not eventful until at 32 weeks I had to go on bed rest in order to prevent premature labor. Dr. Fields had me in for biweekly visits and was monitoring me like a hawk. I had all of his contact numbers, cell, home, you name it and I never thought twice about calling him on the weekends on in the middle of the night if I felt that something was not right. I always felt completely reassured and cared for by Dr. Fields. Our baby was born full term and healthy. My fourth we prepared for, or at least we thought. This time I started to go into preterm labor at 25 weeks. I was on bed rest for 3 long months. I was worried and scared but I knew deep down that Dr. Fields would get me to full term and I was so grateful to be in his care. Number 4, and our last, was born full term and healthy. When he is in the delivery room with you and your unborn baby you want no one else there but him. When the right choices need to be made, he gets the job done. We went to him via a referral. We cannot count the number of friends who have positively consulted this brilliant man. If you are having trouble conceiving or simply looking for a extremely gifted, compassionate and dedicated OBYN Dr. David Fields should be your first and only choice. read more

I am 43 and have been seeing Dr. Fields for 13 years. One of the differences I noticed upon first visiting Dr. Fields was that the office staff consisted of one very capable nurse and Dr. Fields. The intimate feel of the office really lends itself to the nature of the practice, and I always feel comfortable and relaxed knowing that Dr. Fields and his one nurse are the only people seeing me in this somewhat vulnerable state. The office is well stocked with cookies and jelly beans, which add more comfort. There is a predictability about my visits that offers much, and I try not to take it for granted. Dr. Fields told me on my first visit that his preference was for patients to visit twice a year. The reason is simple; anything diagnosed within 6 months has a better chance of being cured. I saw this principle play out with a close relative who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in a routine visit at a 6 month interval. The relative is cancer free and has been for going on 8 years. Dr. Fields has counseled me through many life changes, and is always available to speak with me on health issues not directly related to gynecology. When I moved out of state I was reassured by the fact that Dr. Fields was a quick Amtrak trip away; I never entertained changing doctors. Whatever happens going forward with my health I am comforted by the presence of Dr. Fields in my life. He has never let me down and I consider myself extremely fortunate to call him my doctor. read more

A Truly Exceptional Physician: Compassionate, Brilliant, One of a Kind I have been a patient of Dr. Fields for many, many years, and I can say without hesitation that he is the most brilliant, compassionate, and dedicated physician I have ever known. He delivered all of my children--including two high-risk pregnancies--with exceptional skill and care, and I will be forever grateful for the peace of mind he provided during those critical times. Dr. Fields is not just a gynecologist--he takes the time to understand your overall health, listens intently, and speaks with honesty and clarity. He is patient, thoughtful, and always takes as much time as needed to answer questions and explain every detail. He never makes you feel rushed; instead, he makes you feel like a friend, not just a patient. Most recently, he saw my daughter for an IUD placement. She was extremely anxious and has a very low pain tolerance. Dr. Fields gently talked her through every step, calming her nerves and completing the entire process pain-free. She later compared her experience with her friends'--and it was night and day. Thanks to Dr. Fields, what could have been traumatic was instead empowering. You can look, but you won't find a more skilled or caring doctor. Dr. Fields is truly one of a kind. I literally trust him with my life--and now my daughter's too. I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

I cant say enough about Dr Fields. I had several friends go to him and rave about him. Then after experiencing multiple miscarraiges myself a friend of mine called him on my behalf and he saw me immediately. He figured out what no other doctor could why my body was unable to carry a pregnancy. He treated me and is 100% responsible for the birth of my three year old little girl. After the birth of my daughter I tried to have another baby and ended up with a whole new series of other issues. Dr Fields was helping me and going the extra mile every step of the way and figured out the problem, treated me and eventually was responsible for the birth of my now 9 month old Son. Both of my pregnancies were high risk and he couldn't have been more attentive and available. I was able to call him at any time with any question and he never made me feel like I was putting him out. He treats you as if you are his own daughter in the sense that he will stop at nothing to figure it out. its truly unbelievable. He was encouraging in my darkest of days and has given me the two best gifts of my life. He is a brilliant doctor and an amazing human being. I will be forever grateful to him. - Patty D read more

Dr. Fields has been my doctor for almost 15 years. As his patient, I started out as a young single woman; then as a married woman trying to conceive; and now, as a mom of two. Throughout each stage of my life, he has provided excellent medical care, as well as incredible support and friendship. I could write 20 pages on Dr. Fields' attributes, but to be as concise as possible, I will say that he is the best doctor I've ever had (I've had a lot) and that he is there for his patients (literally and figuratively) 24/7. I have recommended him to my mom, my sister, my best friend...I cannot say enough about him. He is incredibly patient, kind, and insightful; he has a wonderful sense of humor and a frank, direct, candid approach that includes the patient in her own care- as his patient, you are never in the dark and you never have to worry that your issues aren't taken seriously. I know that I will receive genuine attention to my concerns when I call Dr. Fields, and, perhaps most importantly of all, I feel 100% confidence that my issue will be handled by a truly excellent doctor. Simply put, I do not think I could be more confident in a doctor than I am in Dr. Fields. read more

Dr. David Fields is an exceptional doctor and person. He has an investigative mind so I know that his methods of treatment are based on good science and not medical trends which can be quite fickle and founded on shaky research. I had been seeking help with hormone replacement therapy for several years but the doctors I had seen did not possess the level of knowledge to guide me. My endocrinologist recommended Dr. Fields and I am so glad he did. The way in which Dr. Fields treats his patients speaks to his great level of understanding and humanity. He is compassionate, he goes to bat for his patients, he listens, he is present and accessible, he is personable and likeable and I trust him. He is the only doctor I have ever met who will answer the office phone. When he checks something under the microscope he always asks if I want to see it and then explains what I am looking at. Who does that? And why aren't more like him? I travel 4 hours to see him and will continue to do so, because once you meet a doctor like David Fields, how can you settle for less? read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Fields for 6 years. He delivered my first child nearly four years ago, and I am expecting my second in less than two months. In both pregnancies, Dr. Fields has been nothing short of exceptional. He is knowledgeable and caring, exhibiting great care, understanding, and patience at all hours. Pregnancy is a process, from conception, to labor, to post-partum care, and throughout the entire process, Dr. Fields is a true partner. He is attentive and provides unique, individualized care, making his patients feel truly special. Dr. Fields answers calls immediately, explains answers thoroughly, and inspires confidence. His office is a warm, calming environment, from the comfortable waiting room with tea and snacks, to the examining room wallpapered in smiling mothers with their newborns. In delivery, Dr. Fields was commanding and confident, and I felt supremely comfortable in his care. I could not imagine being cared for by another OBGYN. I feel truly fortunate to be his patient. read more

Dr. Fields has treated my family ages 13-54, cramps to hormone replacement. He is knowledgeable, caring and very firm about safety. Dr. Fields has that amazing balance of warm and respect making him a comfortable choice for the very young and the very old. He does not accept insurance but the lovely Giselle in his office does everything possible to help you get reimbursed to the degree you are eligible. Dr. Fields is that old fashioned kind of doctor who knows if you have skipped a mammogram, need a flu shot and he will hunt you down until you do what is in your best interests. He has taken the time to make sure I had a colonoscopy I didn't think I needed (I was so wrong) and he talked my sons young girlfriend off of a gyn cliff NY/Paris making sure that the pharmacy gave her the correct medication (translated into French) and made sure to follow up. I could not say enough about this fine doctor. read more

Doctor Fields is simply the best medical practitioner I have encountered. His combination of care, intelligence, kindness and extraordinary competence is unparalleled. You can be completely confident in all diagnoses, treatments, and recommendations, and he has personal systems for addressing any medical questions or concerns in the most effective and helpful way possible. He recently shepherded me through a difficult pregnancy and delivery. It was clear that he was personally invested in every detail of my individual experience. He even spent 2am-4am on Christmas with me in his office using monitoring and medication to prevent pre-term labor. He is in the hospital the entire time you are there, and delivers all his babies personally. Even the labor and delivery nurses were talking about how special he is. I cannot possibly recommend him more highly as a GYN and especially as an OB! read more

Dr. Fields has been both my and my mother's doctor for well over 10 years now, and I cannot say how grateful I am for his incredible advice over the years. He has soothed our fears, helped us be strong through crises, and all the while, treated us with care and respect. He is honest, up-front, and warm, and his exam room is welcoming with jokes taped on the ceiling and a "living sculpture" of latex glove boxes in the corner. The white fluffy clouds painted on the table holding his tools pleasantly calms and distracts. Dr. Fields is a brilliant doctor, and when there is a challenging medical problem with one of his patients, he works hard to solve it. My mom and I feel completely safe in his hands, and we trust him implicitly with his health advice, and ultimately, our lives. I feel so blessed to have Dr. Fields in my life, and in my mother's life. He is literally like family to us. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Fields for 25 years, and would recommend him without reservation. He has seen me through one ectopic pregnancy (performing difficult surgery that saved not only my life but the affected tube) and two complicated subsequent pregnancies, and is now helping me navigate through the difficult and confusing stages of menopause. It is not only his skill and knowledge, which as others have said are unsurpassed, but his care and compassion through all of this. You will never, ever feel rushed in his office, and you will never, ever feel like just another patient. He always takes the time not only to listen to my concerns, but to make certain that I understand what is going on with my body and what he is recommending. Words cannot adequately convey how fortunate - and comforted - I feel knowing that Dr. Fields is only a phone call away. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Fields for over 30 years. I was fortunate to have been referred to him for fertility issues after years of no success. I credit Dr. Fields and his careful "leave no stone unturned" approach to the healthy delivery of my beautiful twins after a high risk pregnancy. Dr. Fields' comprehensive care goes well beyond obstetrics and gynecology. Check ups are comprehensive and thorough. He sees you as a whole person and is concerned with all aspects of your physical and mental health. Dr. Fields is one of the smartest people that I know - an M.D./OB/GYN and lawyer - and he is well-respected by his medical colleagues. When the time came for my daughter to see an OB/GYN, there was no doubt that she would choose Dr. Fields. She has come to depend on his excellent compassionate care just as I do. read more

Dr. David Fields is honest, sincere and above all, committed to his patients. I have been going to Dr. Fields for over 20 years. True to the saying, "You can't judge a book by it's cover". Dr. Field's office decor may be a bit retro, but his knowledge is at lease 5 years ahead of anyone else in the field. He may sometimes seem too direct, but he will not mislead you. He may not be the huggy, kissy Dr. you may want, but he is the professional you may need. He has proven this to me time and time again. I began going to Dr Fields in my late 20's. I am now in my mid 50's. To say that we have been through a lot together would be an understatement. I could not see myself going to any other Dr. read more

I can't say enough phenomenal things about Dr. David Fields. I've known him for over five years and just delivered my first baby with him last month at Lenox Hill Hospital. I literally don't know how I would've made it through the process without him, nevermind so seamlessly. His bedside manner is bar none the best I've experienced and I've been lucky enough to know some of the top doctors in New York City. He is as skilled as he is kind, empathetic and wise. Anyone would be lucky to be under his care and he is more than worth going out of network for. Care like this is truly priceless. read more

Dr David Fields is a unique doctor in this day and age: he spends as much time, energy and effort with you as is necessary; he stays current with latest research; he makes sure that you understand what is going on so that you can be a responsible participant in your own health care. He clearly loves his work. He has helped me deal with perimenopause, and a minor scare with a small breast lump. He is one of the most intelligent doctors to have cared for me, he is consistently thorough and considerate, presents reasonable options and is dependably responsive. I recommend him without hesitation. read more

Dr Fields has been my OB/GYN for 7 years. He is the most knowledgeable, caring, thorough, responsive and accessible doctor. He takes time to explain, answer questions and never rushes. My husband and I completely trust him and his recommendations/treatment. He took me at a time when I had multiple health complications. Not only he was compassionate but he talked to us in detail to understand our situation and history and created a detailed plan. He delivered our healthy baby girl and held our hand through the way. I highly recommend him. He is simply the best. read more

I have trusted Dr. David Fields with my care for the past 25 years. He has always been at the cutting edge of medical practice, although you might not think so by his office décor. Beyond his absolute expertise, for which I am always grateful, he is the most caring doctor I've ever known. When I was in labor with my son, who is now 12 years old but who arrived unexpectedly, Dr. Fields was away at a conference. Believe it or not, he flew back in time to deliver my son! Doctors just don't do that today. read more

Dr. Fields has been my doctor since my very complicated pregnancy 16 years ago. During my pregnancy, he was always available to answer questions and guide my course of treatment. Most importantly, he demonstrated compassion and kindness throughout my pregnancy. I am forever grateful to him. Even though he does not participate with insurance, I still see Dr. Fields for my gynecological care. I can't imagine going to any other physician. He is truly one of a kind. read more
