Obstetrics

Our obstetric specialists monitor a woman's health and evaluate the development of the fetus through pregnancy and delivery. Pregnancy is a time of tremendous change throughout a woman's body, including increases in plasma and blood volume, adjustments in hormonal levels, and pulmonary activity. Regular checkups allow early identification and treatment of potential complications as well as presenting an opportunity to provide advice about normal but uncomfortable developments such as morning sickness or indigestion, swollen feet, and shortness of breath. Fetal assessments through ultrasounds or tests such as amniocentesis help detect anomalies and identify genetic diseases. Our specialists are also prepared for obstetric emergencies such as ectopic pregnancies and pre-eclampsia.
