Obstetrics and Gynecology

History

Established in 1968.

Since 1968, Ob/​Gyn Specialists of the Palm Beaches has been at the forefront of providing quality healthcare to women in our community. Long recognized as the premier Ob/​Gyn group in the area, the practice has grown over the years to encompass twenty-​six Board-​Certified physicians, all of whom were trained at highly regarded university hospital teaching programs. Doctors in the group have included numerous department chiefs of Good Samaritan Hospital, St. Mary’s Hospital and Columbia Hospital. Dr. Peter Sherman and Dr. Burigo have served as President of the Florida Obstetrics and Gynecology Society.

In 1986, we brought the first certified nurse-​midwife to private practice in West Palm Beach. Many of our patients appreciated the opportunity for a more «high-​touch» birth experience. Now, there are seven certified nurse-​midwives with the group, along with two certified nurse practitioners who specialize in patient education and one-​on-​one care.
