A Privilege to Care: Sorana Vrabie-Wolf, M.D., FACOG on Serving Women with Compassion and Purpose

In honor of Women’s Health Awareness Month, we highlight providers who go beyond clinical care to build lasting trust, promote access, and advocate for every woman they serve. At NYC Health + Hospitals/Metropolitan, Sorana Vrabie-Wolf, M.D., FACOG, a Physician Affiliate Group of New York, P.C. (PAGNY) Attending Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) Physician, exemplifies this mission through her compassionate, patient-centered approach.

A Multifaceted Specialty Rooted in Compassion

Dr. Vrabie-Wolf embraces the full spectrum of women’s care—from routine clinic visits and deliveries to complex gynecological procedures. When asked why she chose OB/GYN, she shares, “What initially appealed to me about this specialty was how multifaceted it is—from clinic work to assisting births to performing gynecological procedures. I love all of it.”

Dr. Vrabie-Wolf’s connection to her patients extends beyond clinical expertise. As an immigrant herself, she brings personal insight and empathy to her work with immigrant and underserved populations. “I feel honored and privileged to serve an immigrant and underserved community. I strive every day to make healthcare accessible to people from all walks of life—to help them navigate the system and provide the best care I can, with both compassion and clarity.” Her dedication is clear: to reduce barriers, promote equitable care, and ensure every woman feels seen, heard, and supported.

Trust is the foundation to women’s health care, and Dr. Vrabie-Wolf begins by understanding each patient’s background and previous healthcare experiences, especially for those who may have faced challenges. “I build trust by listening carefully, addressing my patients’ needs, and explaining sometimes complex health concerns in ways they can understand.” By prioritizing transparency and patient education, she empowers women to be active participants in their health decisions.

Continuity of care plays a vital role in OB/GYN, where sustained relationships enhance comfort and outcomes. “Continuity of care helps build a relationship between provider and patient. It allows me to get to know my patients better and creates a comfortable environment. This fosters a very special connection.”

Advocacy and Commitment Beyond the Exam Room

Dr. Vrabie-Wolf’s work reflects not only clinical expertise, but also a deep commitment to healthcare equity, patient advocacy, and supporting communities that are often underserved.

I strive every day to provide care that is compassionate and informative—to meet patients where they are and walk with them through whatever they’re facing.
