Maternal-Fetal Medicine Expertise
Maternal-fetal medicine specialists are obstetricians with additional fellowship training in high-risk pregnancy care. The physicians at this practice evaluate pregnancies that involve medical complications, genetic concerns, or abnormal screening results. They perform detailed ultrasounds and coordinate with other medical specialists when needed to address conditions that may affect pregnancy. This level of subspecialty training allows for evidence-based management of complex cases that fall outside routine prenatal care.
The practice is part of Novant Health, a regional health system serving North Carolina and surrounding areas. Patients seeking maternal-fetal medicine consultation are typically referred by their primary obstetrician or midwife when specialized evaluation becomes necessary during pregnancy.
