Gil M. Farkash, M.D, F.A.C.O.G., has joined the medical staff at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center as a laborist in the Women’s Services Department.

 

A graduate of the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University of Buffalo, Dr. Farkash serves as chief of obstetrics and gynecology at Kaleida Health and is site director at Women & Children’s Hospital of Buffalo.  He holds board certification from the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

 

Laborists are OB/GYN hospitalists whose presence improves patient safety and outcomes by ensuring a doctor experienced in delivering babies is physically present to work with a hospital’s maternity team. Niagara Falls Memorial partnered with Women & Children’s Hospital in 2015 to add this special kind of physician expertise to its labor and delivery services.
