Vanessa Pena, M.D.

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.

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 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 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.

I travel into the city from the Jersey shore even though I no longer work in NYC, just because I cannot imagine going to any other doctor. She listened to me and cared enough to try other tests that no other doctor thought of (came to her as a 3rd opinion) and she found my issue, connected me with a pro bono surgeon to help and literally saved me and is the reason I have my beautiful daughter (now 10 years old). Dr. Pena doesn’t get enough credit for being the intelligent, caring and dedicated doctor that she sure is! My husband and I are forever grateful.

Love Dr Peña. It was my first time with her and I was pleased with her. She was so caring and kind; really showed interest in me and taking care of me. Everyone there was very thoughtful and caring.

Dr. Peña was very knowledgeable, approachable, and understanding of my questions and concerns during my appointment. She took the time to answer all of my questions not only about her services, but about the practice as well. I didn't feel rushed, and I look forward to seeing her again in the Fall.

Dr. Pena is one of the most genuine people I have met let alone a great doctor. I have been her patient since 2015 and I won’t go anywhere else. As a woman the appointments that we dread! a Pap smear, mammogram's, breast examinations just to name a few can be scary as hell. We know we need them but it’s a nerve reckoning thing. She makes it so much easier. Here you’re in and out they take patients on time, they get to the point but are open for any questions that may arise! Just an overall great doctor and great staff

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.
