He completed ob/gyn training and chief residency at The New York Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical College, is board certified in maternal-fetal medicine, and is a Fellow American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Dr. Ayromlooi has cared for patients in a variety of settings and locations, including serving as professor, chairman and chief perinatologist at NYC Catholic Medical Centers’ four hospital system.

“Having a physician with Dr. Ayromlooi’s expertise and skill on staff means women can receive highly specialized care for themselves and their unborn babies without leaving the Antelope Valley,” said hospital CEO Edward Mirzabegian. “This is one more way we are improving access to care and improving the quality of care for the local community.”
