Medicine Services
Maternal-fetal
medicine specialists provide complete care of obstetrical
patients with medical or surgical complications during
pregnancy. The group of physicians supervises a busy
antepartum service, providing critical care to obstetrical
patients, targeted perinatal sonography and antepartum
testing and techniques to manage complications of pregnancy.
Physicians in the division work in conjunction with
neonatologists, geneticists and obstetrical anesthesiologists
to provide comprehensive care to mother and infant.
