Maternal-fetal diagnostic services
Particularly during a pregnancy that has been categorized as high risk, it is critical to get a full picture of the health of your baby so we can monitor their growth and development. Fetal monitoring and health assessments will help us confirm their progress and whether they are achieving the proper developmental milestones.
Prenatal testing we offer includes:
- Abnormal prenatal screening tests
- Cordocentesis
- Fetal ultrasound
Perinatal care services we provide
Our maternal-fetal medicine physicians specialize in extensive perinatal (sometimes called "antenatal") care for you and your baby. This is true both during pregnancy and post-delivery. Working in collaboration with your personal obstetrician, we use your medical history as a foundation on which to pave the path for a successful pregnancy.
Once diagnostics have been performed to understand the complete scope of your needs, we adeptly prepared you for any situation that can arise. This includes offering the use of maternity care services such as:
- Amniocentesis
- Cervical cerclage
- Prenatal genetic counseling
