Vanessa Pena, M.D.

Dr.Pena was great, her and her nurse were very professional but also warm, understanding, patient and informed me of everything I asked. They made me feel taken care of. The office team was great too, very diligent with a great disposition. I would recommend this practice. (I ended up changing because they only deliver in a hospital with very few private rooms, but I know that is changing in 2026 so if this is an important issue for you but your due date is after the renovation I would definitely try Dr. Pena and her team)

As always, Dr. Pena is a fantastic doctor. She is always kind, knowledgeable, empathetic, attentive…and the list could keep going. I am fortunate to have her as my obgyn since 10 years now, she helped me in different situations, starting from the birth of my amazing kind. If you have her as your doctor, consider yourself lucky. Thank you for all your hard work, Dr. Pena

I love Dr Pena. She has been there through the birth of my second child and is my absolutely favorite Dr of all of my Drs. Genuinely interested in what I have to say always. Definitely listens and is communicative. Short wait times, but I am shocked, as I know that it is usually out of the drs control (you never know what you’ll get when you see a pregnant person!! Could be nothing, could be Something!) but without question the only Dr office I don’t dread , for whatever reason. And I can truthfully say I look forward to my annual dates with Dr Pena-I wish I could see her more often;-)

Dr Pena delivered both of our daughters and I wouldn’t want to go to any other OB. She really takes the time to care for her patients and follow-up on any questions / concerns. She has a great demeanour and is so reassuring for first time (and second time) parents.

Dr. Pena is the best! She took care of me during my first time pregnancy and helped me to deliver my baby girl smooth and fast!Everything about Dr. Pena I like: truly caring, very clear with her communication, very proactive and supportive, extremely knowledgeable and experienced!! Besides all that, super friendly! I will keep coming to her for my yearly check ups and who knows, maybe one day for a second pregnancy care! I highly recommend Dr. Pena!

Dr. Pena is amazing! I became her patient for family planning and my periodic check ups. Gour months later I got pregnant and even though we are at the early stages of the pregnancy, she already has been tremendously helpful. Ensured I understood what to expect each trimester, explained with details all the tests we will be performing during the pregnancy and why, and re assured that how her and her team of fellow Obstetricians will walk with us all the way through the delivery date. Two pluses: her nurse is amazing and Dr. Pena speaks fluent spanish.

Dr Pena is the best! She delivered all 3 of our kids and is an incredible doctor. There’s no one I would have more confidence in or trust more leading up to and during the delivery process than Dr Pena. She’s also incredibly kind and always has mom and baby’s best interest in mind.

Great OB! She was very kind and caring throughout my pregnancy. Always provided any information and answered any questions. I would 100% recommend Dr. Pena to any mom first time or otherwise.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing Dr. Pena is. Compassionate, empathetic, supportive, knowledgeable, understanding... the list goes on and on. Dr. Pena supported me throughout my entire pregnancy. She helped me understand all steps throughout my pregnancy, and labor/delivery. Her support staff at Lower Presbyterian were just as wonderful. All of the nurses were great, answering my questions (sometimes multiple times!) and helping me care for my newborn. The rooms are not nearly as bad as people say, and honestly the staff by far makes up for it. I hope to one day deliver another healthy child with this team.

Love Dr. Pena! Calmly addresses all my questions, and let's me talk myself out, while providing me with the facts I need. Never made me feel rushed, but at the same time got down to business very efficiently. I've never had to wait in her office, everything runs very smoothly. They were also very accommodating when I pulled a super pregnancy brain move and went to the hospital instead of her office for an appointment and ended up arriving 30 minutes late to my appointment. Love the whole Weill Cornell group and highly recommend people come here!

Dr. Pena is an amazing doctor! She delivered our daughter in August and I would highly recommend her. Dr Pena was great and helpful throughout the entire process, but she was most impressive at crunch time in the delivery room; it's difficult to know from meeting a doctor how they will be during the actual delivery, but Dr Pena was incredible!! Hands down, I will go to her again for our next baby and would highly recommend her and the staff at NY Presbyterian Lower Manhattan.
