Nur Afreen Afsar

Nur Afreen Afsar, M.D., is an obstetrician-gynecologist practicing in Flushing, New York, where she is licensed to provide care in the state of New York.

Her published research spans two areas of particular relevance to obstetric medicine. One study, appearing in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, examined the relationship between first-trimester maternal serum alpha fetoprotein levels and ischemic placental disease. A second publication, in BMC Medicine, used a multi-level theoretical framework to explore how socio-cultural factors shape the behavior of South Asian women managing diabetes during pregnancy, a qualitative contribution that speaks to both clinical and public health dimensions of prenatal care.
