Meet your provider
Emory Ship, CNM, NP
I am a Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM) and Women's Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP) with over two decades of clinical experience in New York City.
My career has been devoted entirely to women's health across midwifery, gynecology, fertility and pelvic pain – from adolescence through post-menopause, and every stage in between.
Patient voices
What my patients say
"I have been a patient of Emory's since 2010 and have felt empowered by her knowledge and calm. Emory shares her wisdom of women's health and the implicit value of developing one's own voice in order to advocate for oneself within the medical system. Her approach is holistic, nurturing, confident and proficient. She is thorough in her philosophy and an exceptional diagnostician. The breadth of her experience enables her to devote intentional care to each woman individually, for their unique needs."
Paulina Nissenblatt
"Emory Ship is the cooch god! ...she is absolutely amazing. She makes you feel SO comfortable with your visit and she keeps it ALL the way real!"
Lauren P.
"Emory Ship is the absolute best. She is warm, thorough, excessively kind and incredibly smart. She answered all questions and genuinely cared about my well being and overall comfort."
Anna G.
"I felt that Emory spent quality time understanding the full depth of my personal and family medical history which resulted in me leaving the visit able to make informed decisions about my current and future needs. By far, the best experience I've had with a gynecologist since I started seeing them 15 years ago."
Rae G.
"I used to be terrified of going to the doctor. Emory's kind nature put me at ease immediately. She explained everything so well, took the time to answer all of my questions, and was so gentle with me. Emory is one of the most patient and kind people I have ever met. She was never judgmental, she never made me feel rushed, and she went above and beyond with everything...Emory Ship is the best medical professional I've ever been to, bar none, and I am beyond grateful to have found her!"
Summer R.
"Emory Ship...is many things including the following: gentle, kind, attentive, respectful, trauma-informed, culturally competent, non-invasive, and thorough."
Hope B.
"I've had my fair share of bad experiences with doctors, usually due to them dismissing and invalidating my concerns, but I just had (truly) the most caring and comprehensive appointment with Emory...I finally feel hopeful that I'll be able to figure out and improve my health ♥"
S.
"Emory is knowledgeable, calm, and naturally warm and personable in a way that's rare to find. She is also clearly trauma-informed in her care. I never once felt pushed into a decision or rushed through an appointment. She lays out your options and a plan, which sounds simple but makes a huge difference when you're navigating something hard."
Natalie M.
"I have worked with Emory Ship for the past ten or so years and think she is terrific. She is kind, compassionate, and highly knowledgeable. She always takes the time needed to speak with me, understand what I am experiencing from my perspective, and carefully explain what needs to take place and why. I look forward to seeing her, as speaking with her is as comfortable as speaking with a close girlfriend."
