Maternal Fetal Medicine

The management of high-risk pregnancies requires knowledge, skill, expertise and strong institutional support. At St. Joseph’s Women’s Hospital, this service is provided by Florida Perinatal Associates physicians.

As Maternal Fetal Medicine specialists, the physicians have advanced knowledge of the obstetrical, medical, genetic and surgical complications that can occur during a pregnancy and their effects on both the mother and fetus. They are obstetricians/gynecologists with additional formal education and clinical experience within an American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology approved Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship program.

Combined with a dedicated support staff and state-of-the-art technology, the Maternal Fetal Medicine Department at St. Joseph’s Women’s Hospital offers the most comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic methods available today.
