OB-GYN Doctors in Arizona

953 providers found

Arizona has 15.3% fewer practicing OB-GYN providers than it did ten years ago, even as the state added nearly a million residents. The math is stark: Maricopa County alone delivers over 50,000 babies a year, while entire counties in rural Arizona have zero obstetricians. In Greenlee, Graham, and La Paz counties, the nearest labor and delivery unit can be a 90-minute drive across desert highway. The concentration problem is real even within the metro. Phoenix and Scottsdale have strong OB-GYN density, with practices affiliated with Banner, Dignity Health, and HonorHealth. But fast-growing suburbs like Buckeye, San Tan Valley, and Maricopa City have not kept pace. NICU beds follow a similar pattern: the state's highest-level NICUs cluster at Phoenix Children's, Banner University Medical Center in Tucson, and a handful of Phoenix metro hospitals. For high-risk pregnancies outside those corridors, transport time becomes a clinical variable. Arizona's maternal health landscape also reflects its demographics. Roughly 44% of births in the state are covered by AHCCCS (Arizona Medicaid), and disparities in maternal outcomes persist along racial and economic lines. Programs like the Arizona Perinatal Trust and the University of Arizona's maternal-fetal medicine fellowship are working to close gaps, but the workforce pipeline remains thin. Finding an OB-GYN who is accepting new patients, takes your insurance, and practices within a reasonable distance is a genuine logistical challenge for many Arizona women.

GLENDALE, AZ 85308

Dr. Sabre's path to women's health started on the East Coast and wound through some unexpected places. After studying biology at Drexel University, he headed to Guadalajara, Mexico for medical school, and it was during clinical rotations that brought him to Phoenix where he first realized OB/GYN was where he belonged. He returned east to complete his residency at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx, one of New York City's busiest safety-net hospitals, where managing a high volume of both routine and high-risk pregnancies became second nature. The experience sharpened his skills across the full spectrum of obstetrics and gynecologic surgery, with a particular focus on minimally invasive techniques. Dr. Sabre is also a dedicated researcher, with multiple peer-reviewed publications and presentations at national conferences. His research earned him the SOGH Inaugural Future Leaders Award and a CIR Patient Care Trust Fund Research Grant, recognition of the kind of curiosity that keeps him pushing for better outcomes. Now at MomDoc, he's excited to bring that blend of surgical skill, academic rigor, and hands-on clinical instinct to the women of the Valley.

PHOENIX, AZ 85037

Dr. Gambou was born in Bordeaux, France and moved to the United States at fifteen, attending a French high school in the LA area. That early experience of navigating two cultures instilled an adaptability that has shaped her ever since, she speaks French and Spanish alongside English, and she has practiced medicine across three continents. As an undergraduate at Cal State Northridge, she completed an international internship at University Hospital of Brazzaville in Congo, an experience that deepened her commitment to serving women regardless of background or circumstance. She went on to earn her Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine before completing her OB/GYN residency at Rutgers Health/Newark Beth Israel Medical Center in New Jersey. There, she managed high-risk pregnancies and trained in minimally invasive techniques including DaVinci robotic surgery, while also serving on the Resident Wellness Committee, a role that reflects her belief that good medicine starts with taking care of the people who provide it. Dr. Gambou brings that same philosophy to her patients at MomDoc: meet people where they are, listen first, and never underestimate the power of feeling understood.

TEMPE, AZ 85281

Dr. Faro is the kind of physician who has done research on a remote Antarctic station and still calls the delivery room her favorite place to be. Originally from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, she studied biomedical sciences at Auburn University, then headed to Creighton in Omaha for both her master's thesis, studying parasitology, and her medical degree. Residency at the University of Texas at Houston confirmed her love for OB/GYN, and her colleagues took notice early, recognizing her with teaching and resident awards across multiple years. After training, Dr. Faro built a practice in Houston and spent over 16 years at The Woman's Hospital of Texas, where she rose through the ranks from Secretary to Vice President to President of Medical Staff, ultimately chairing the Department of Obstetrics. Along the way, she contributed to peer-reviewed research and took part in a National Science Foundation project with the United States Antarctic Program, two months on the ice, a long way from the labor ward. When it was time for a new chapter, Dr. Faro brought that breadth of experience to MomDoc's Scottsdale office. Whether she is managing a high-volume delivery day or walking a patient through a complex diagnosis, she draws on a career defined by curiosity, leadership, and an unwillingness to stay in one lane.

GILBERT, AZ 85295

Dr. Andres knew early on that she wanted medicine to be about more than a single exam room. At the University of Arizona, she double-majored in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Physiology while picking up a minor in Spanish, already thinking about the communities she hoped to serve. Medical school at the University of Nevada deepened that commitment through a scholarly concentration in Global Health, and international volunteer work in Nicaragua showed her what healthcare looks like when resources are scarce and creativity matters. She completed her OB/GYN residency at St. Francis Hospital in Connecticut, where she stepped into leadership roles with ACOG and continued mentoring students and peers. Dr. Andres is also a Clinical Skills Instructor, a chapter leader for the Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association, and someone who writes and develops a podcast on the history of OB/GYN. She brings all of that energy to MomDoc, where she practices with a global perspective and a belief that every patient deserves a provider who sees the full picture.

Phoenix, AZ 85037

Dr. Arostegui grew up in the Dominican Republic, where his grandfather, a cardiologist, planted the seed for a life in medicine. Surrounded by women in his family from an early age, he found himself drawn to OB/GYN for the way it blends clinical care, primary care, and procedural skill into a single specialty. He earned his medical degree at Universidad Iberoamericana in Santo Domingo and, before residency, worked in gynecological oncology consulting and surgical services at CEDIMAT. A move to New York brought him to the Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone, where he conducted translational research in ovarian and endometrial cancers. He went on to complete his OB/GYN residency at BronxCare Health System, affiliated with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Along the way, Dr. Arostegui has also served as a general practitioner and Spanish-English interpreter during a U.S. armed forces medical mission, providing surgical care to underserved communities in his home country. It is a thread that runs through his career: a pull toward the places and people where his skills can do the most good. What excites him now is building long-term relationships with patients, the kind of practice where he can follow a woman's health across years, not just visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it hard to find an OB-GYN in parts of Arizona?

Arizona has lost roughly 15% of its OB-GYN workforce over the past decade while population has grown significantly. Rural counties are hit hardest, with some having no practicing obstetrician at all. Even fast-growing Phoenix suburbs lag behind in provider density. Malpractice costs and reimbursement rates under AHCCCS contribute to the shortage.

Which Arizona hospitals have high-level NICUs?

The state's Level IV NICUs (the highest designation) are at Phoenix Children's Hospital and Banner University Medical Center Tucson. Several Phoenix metro hospitals including Banner Desert and Dignity Health St. Joseph's operate Level III NICUs. For high-risk pregnancies in rural areas, transport to one of these facilities is often part of the birth plan.

Does AHCCCS cover OB-GYN and prenatal care?

Yes. AHCCCS covers prenatal visits, labor and delivery, and postpartum care for eligible women. Roughly 44% of Arizona births are AHCCCS-covered. Coverage extends through 60 days postpartum, and recent expansions have extended eligibility for some recipients to 12 months after delivery.

What is the difference between an obstetrician and a gynecologist?

Obstetricians manage pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery. Gynecologists focus on reproductive health outside pregnancy, including screenings, contraception, and menopause management. Most OB-GYNs are board-certified in both and handle the full spectrum. In Arizona, providers who deliver babies also typically maintain a gynecology-only caseload.
