Finding out that you are having a baby can be the most joyous occasion in a women’s life. However, it may also be a time of concern, especially if you are diagnosed with a high-risk pregnancy or if you are worried about the health of your baby. Greater Washington Maternal-Fetal Medicine and Genetics has experienced physicians and staff who have expertise in complicated maternal-fetal medical conditions, multiple gestations, fetal diagnosis, and genetic disorders such as Tay-Sachs disease. By using state-of-the-art ultrasound and diagnostic tests, our team evaluates your health and the health of your baby before delivery. We then work closely with you, your family, and your health care professionals to develop a care plan to manage any problems identified. Throughout your pregnancy, we will ensure that you understand your medical conditions and the options available to you. All of your questions or concerns will be addressed thoroughly and sensitively.
