The Maternal-Fetal Medicine Team
 The
medical team consists of perinatologists (obstetricians with advanced
training in the subspecialty of caring for high-risk pregnancies),
perinatal nurses, ultrasonographers and genetic counselors with
extensive training in high-risk pregnancy care.
Our perinatologists are board-certified in both obstetrics and
gynecology, as well as maternal-fetal medicine. They serve
as consultants to your physician in managing a complicated pregnancy,
and assist obstetricians in the tri-state area in the care of high-risk
patients. As members of the departmental faculty, they are
actively involved in teaching and research in areas such as unique
fetal therapies and pregnancies with multiple fetuses.
Our entire team is experienced in labor and delivery care as well
as the special challenges posed by high-risk pregnancies. Perinatal
nurses educate our patients on the various aspects of their pregnancies;
ultrasonographers assist the physicians in evaluating the pregnancy;
and genetic counselors provide information on the possible risks
of having an infant with complications.
While our perinatologists may rarely be the obstetricians for
your delivery, their main and usual role is to act as a
consultant to you and your obstetrician.
