42 midwives practice in East Flatbush. Here is how they compare on experience, birth setting, hospital and cost. Most deliver at Brookdale and Kings County, so care here is largely hospital-based, with epidurals and obstetric backup close at hand. Suzanne Schechter has the longest track record here, practicing since 1985.
How we ranked: Providers are listed by experience, credentials, where they deliver, what families tell us and how much of their practice Mabel could verify. The order is editorial.
