Perinatal consultation:
A perinatologist (otherwise referred to as a Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist) is an obstetrician/gynecologist with specialized training in high-risk pregnancies. A perinatologist is board-certified by the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology in both OBGYN and Maternal-Fetal Medicine, and possess the knowledge and expertise to effectively care for your individual condition. Perinatal consultation is helpful whenever a pregnancy is complicated by a medical, obstetrical, or genetic condition, or when there is a suspected ultrasound abnormality. In an attempt to enhance the outcome of your pregnancy, our perinatal team works in collaboration with your referring OB doctor to optimally identify your risks and effectively manage your pregnancy.
