Upcoming Sessions - 2024

Dr Stuart Fischbein

Picture
Stuart James Fischbein, MD was Board Certified in 1989 by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and became a Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics & Gynecology in 1990. Since completing his residency, he has been in solo clinical practitioner for 36 years. While well trained at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in the standard medical model of obstetrics he had the respect and vision to support the midwifery model of care and served as a backup consultant to many home and birthing center midwives for 25 years. In 1996 he founded The Woman’s Place for Health, Inc., a collaborative hospital-based practice of Certified Nurse Midwives and Obstetricians in Ventura County, California. In 2010, he left hospital based practice to join his midwife colleagues in supporting women in a community setting throughout Southern California.
Dr. Fischbein recently stopped practicing community based birthing and now travels around the world sharing his knowledge with and teaching skills to birth workers. He is an outspoken advocate of informed decision making, the midwifery model of care and human rights in childbirth, receiving the 2016 “Most Audacious” award from HRIC and the Association for Wholistic & Newborn Health. Hear more of his thoughts and advocacy for evidenced-based, reasonable choices on his
podcast with co-host Midwife Blyss Young. Most recently he is creating content for his private community on Patreon.
