ABOUT US
Maternal Fetal Medicine and surgery/High risk pregnancy specialist
We are high-risk pregnancy experts. For pregnant women with chronic health problems, our Maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) subspecialist works to keep the woman and her baby(ies) as healthy as possible while her body changes and her baby grows. Our MFM subspecialist also cares for women who face unexpected problems that develop during pregnancy, such as preterm labor, cervical insufficiency bleeding, high blood pressure, or preeclampsia. Our MFM is the go-to for pregnant women who arrive in the hospital for any reason whether it's related or pregnancy or not. In other cases, it’s the baby who faces the complications. If an OB care provider finds a birth defect or growth problem, our MFM can start management and treatment planning before birth.
Our MFM subspecialist treats two patients at the same time. We partner with the mom-to-be, her family, and her medical team to navigate the un-routine and achieve the best possible outcome. We see families who have experienced high-risk pregnancies in the past, women with chronic health conditions, and women who develop unexpected problems during their pregnancy. We are also an expert in prenatal screening and diagnostic testing, genetics, and fetal imaging including ultrasound and fetal echocardiogram.
