Dr. Heather Irobunda

Dr. Heather Irobunda, is an Obstetrician Gynecologist based in Queens, New York. After completing four years of medical school, four years of residency, four years as an active duty Army OB/GYN ,and now working in private practice, Dr. Irobunda has treated thousands of patients. This experience has shed light on many themes, but one really stands out to her– there is a major gap in access to reliable, transparent online information for women to learn about their health. Having seen both sides of the doctor patient relationship, Dr. Irobunda knows that there are issues with women, particularly women of color, being able to feel comfortable with their healthcare providers.

Dr. Irobunda knows that doctors can be intimidating, but she is here to show patients that they don’t have to be. Doctors are patients (and people) too, and she hopes to use her experiences, personal and professional, to help all women feel they can make informed decisions and become advocates for themselves. Through Dr. Irobunda’s passion for community health paired with her medical expertise, her goal is to help women to feel empowered when seeking medical care.
