Advanced Care for Mothers

No woman wants to hear that there may be complications with her pregnancy. If this happens, you’ll want to know that you’re in highly-skilled hands. Sinai-Grace Hospital has maternal-fetal medicine physicians, also called perinatologists, who focus on the diagnosis and treatment of women who have a high-risk pregnancy. These providers:

  • Are obstetricians who have also completed additional years of training in high-risk pregnancy, and have experience with medical complications during pregnancy, higher risk pregnancy-specific conditions, obstetric ultrasonography, prenatal genetics, prenatal diagnosis and fetal therapies
  • Work with your obstetric provider to coordinate prenatal care along with specialized testing and procedures to ensure the best possible outcome

Additionally, Sinai-Grace has state-of-the art surgery suites located in the OB unit for planned and emergency cesarean sections.
