Over the past decade, he has delivered comprehensive women’s healthcare, offering outpatient gynecological services, annual health assessments, labor and delivery care, and advanced surgical procedures, including minimally invasive and robotic surgeries for women across all life stages. His practice uniquely integrates midwifery’s holistic approach with the supervision and expertise of dedicated physicians.

Dr. Shayeb’s multifaceted role includes holding regular office hours, providing 24-hour in-house care each Wednesday, performing surgeries, and overseeing primary and delivery care for his obstetric and gynecologic patients.

Fluent in English, Spanish, Arabic, and French, he is an elected fellow of both the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Beyond his clinical and academic contributions, Dr. Shayeb supports his community through his volunteer and philanthropic work with Syrian Youth Empowerment, a nonprofit that aids students from conflict zones in pursuing higher education in the U.S.

Among his career’s many accomplishments, Dr. Shayeb transformed The Augury into a thriving women’s health and midwifery practice, overcoming challenges with unwavering dedication to patient care and academic excellence. He has been recognized with several awards, including the presidential award in Syria for academic achievement, the Best Resident Teaching Award in 2008, and the Resident Achievement Award from the Society of Laparoendoscopic and Robotic Surgery in 2010.

Dr. Shayeb credits his success to hard work, perseverance, passion, and the essential support of his family, especially his wife, whose managing his schedule has been instrumental.

Looking forward, Dr. Shayeb plans to expand his practice in Brooklyn and Queens, New York, with the vision of providing fully integrated midwifery and women’s healthcare within one facility.
