The Crown OB/Gyn Team
For more than 25 years, we’ve provided evidence-based care and patient education in a way that always allows our patients to feel empowered and well cared for.
We Listen, Build Trust, and Provide Care.
Patient Care is Our Top Priority
We’re more than the sum of our services. We meet women at important times in their lives—at their most vulnerable, at their happiest, and sometimes at the scariest times. They can feel elated, excited, alone, and unsure. It can be a wonderful time, an overwhelming time, whatever their situation.
We are a collective of expertise, a collective of values, and a collective of caring providers. We believe in the highest level of individualized healthcare.
Many locations, a single vision, and a practice of caring providers that inform, empower, and help our patients when they need it the most. It’s what motivates us every day.

Nicolas K. Saliba, MD
-
Medical School: American University of Beirut
Internship and Residency: American University of Beirut
Fellowship: Albany Medical Center, Albany, NY, and Massachusetts General Hospital
I’ve been at it for 40 years now. It’s been a long, arduous road with many ups and downs. As I've practiced both gynecologic cancer surgery at the beginning of my career and general obstetrics and gynecology later on, I’ve come to experience both tragedy and elation, heartache and joy, death and birth. It’s been harrowing yet captivating, and as demanding as it may be, I am not ready to give it up just yet. More importantly, if asked, I’d say I would do it all over again, with no hesitation.
I started this practice with a colleague in 1989. On the way to building what it is now, I’ve lost many physician friends near and dear to me. Yet, the practice continued to thrive based on one salient principle: treat your patients, those who have entrusted you with their health, on their own terms, and without bias. To quote the Bakhti Yoga tradition, “the path to true joy and fulfillment can only be found by one with a humble and tolerant heart who offers unconditional respect to every living being, and sees everyone as worthy of respect, love, and service.” I believe this philosophy is essential to any physician deserving of the title, “Doctor”.
While I am a physician, I’m also a father to three beautiful children (they will always be children to me). I am also an avid gardener, tennis player, biker, and hiker – nature is my refuge. Still, I count my job as one of my favorite hobbies, because I truly love what I do, and always will.
