Maternal Fetal Medicine

What is a Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) Specialist?

An MFM specialist is an OBGYN physician who has completed additional years of education and training to serve high-risk pregnancy patients. In other cases where the baby may be the one who faces unforeseen circumstances, an MFM specialist can provide monitoring and treatments before birth to support babies until they are ready to arrive in the world.

Maternal Fetal Medicine can benefit patients who have certain high-risk pregnancies, including:

• Patients who have hypertension
• Patients with a history of previous miscarriages and/or previous problems during pregnancy
• Patients with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes or obesity
• Patients with unknown issues in their ultrasounds/scans
• Patients in the teenage pregnancy age range or who have advanced maternal-age pregnancies

Our Services

• Obstetrical & Maternal-Fetal Medicine, ultrasound and consultations
• Reproductive Endocrinology consultations
• Genetic complications

Local Experts

Local and expert high-risk services from our team of obstetrics nurses and physicians partner with you to provide the highest level of care and quick communication to put your mind at ease before, throughout, and after your pregnancy. Our services also utilize telemedicine which removes obstacles that often keep patients from traveling to receive more advanced care, and allows for quick answers to non-emergency questions you have surrounding your pregnancy.
