Obstetrical Care

Congratulations! How excited and filled with anticipation you and your family must be!

Our physicians and staff are looking forward to making this important time in your life as stress free and easy for you as possible.

On your first OB visit, as well as seeing your physician, you will be meeting with an OB nurse. You will be given a packet of information which includes a booklet entitled, "Preparing For a Healthy Baby". The information it contains is valuable, filled with OB educational information and guidelines for a healthy mom and healthy baby. We refer to it often during your pregnancy.

Our physicians have extensive experience managing high-risk pregnancies successfully, which often occur in women with blood disorders, obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes.  Our office are equipped with ultrasound machines, non-stress test devices, and other equipment that allows us to meet the unique requirements of high-risk prenatal care effectively.

Below are educational links for different aspects of pregnancy:

• Family Planning
