The Maternal Fetal Medicine Service provides full consultation availability 24 hours a day for complicated and high risk obstetric patients.

We offer a full spectrum of screening and diagnostic tests to evaluate the health of the fetus, placenta, umbilical cord and uterine environment. Genetic testing can be conducted to determine if your pregnancy is at risk for inherited disorders, genetic, or chromosomal abnormalities. A few tests we conduct include:
- Ultrasound
- Amniocentesis
- Percutaneous Umbilical Blood sampling
- Fetal echocardiograms
In high risk pregnancies, we conduct antenatal testing in the third trimester and also provide pre-pregnancy counseling to women with complex medical conditions to optimize your care prior to pregnancy. Pregnant patients with medical problems can seek consultation in our clinic for medical conditions such as diabetes, a history of preterm delivery, and twins and higher order multiples.
Whether routine or high-risk, the ADC prioritizes your pregnancy. Our goal is to make your experience of pregnancy a pleasurable one.
