Get to know Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Iman Saleh, who serves patients in Garden City, New York.

Motivated by her passion and desire to become an obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Saleh dedicates her career to providing care to women of all ages. She practices alongside Dr. Paul R Byrne, MD, at his private practice in Garden City, New York.

There, she remains committed to providing the most current preventative, diagnostic, and therapeutic expertise in all aspects of obstetrics, gynecology, and minimally invasive/robotic surgery. She sees patients for their general women’s wellness, through prenatal care and childbirth, guides them through contraception and infertility, and continues to see them beyond their reproductive years during menopause. She is also familiar with many common medical problems such as hypertension, diabetes, and thyroid disorders. 

Recently, she has expanded her expertise to include obesity medicine, in which she uses medical management to optimize her patients’ weight during various stages of life. In addition, she is affiliated with South Nassau Communities Hospital and NYU Winthrop Hospital.

Academically, Dr. Saleh completed her undergraduate degree in Biomedical Education at the Sophie Davis BS/MD Program at City College of New York. She then graduated with her medical degree from the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University in 2009 and completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Winthrop University Hospital in 2013. Her background includes several honors received during her undergraduate and clinical years, including Chief Resident at Winthrop University Hospital.

Specializing in women’s reproductive health, the doctor is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The mission of the ABOG is to define standards, certify obstetricians and gynecologists, and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women’s health.

Alongside her clinical role, Dr. Saleh serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor within the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at NYU Long Island School of Medicine. She is also a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG) and a member of the American Obesity Association.

Obstetrics and Gynecology is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics and gynecology. An obstetrician-gynecologist, or OB-GYN, is a healthcare professional who specializes in female reproductive health. 

Born in Long Island and raised in Queens, Dr. Saleh is fluent in English and Arabic.
