Prenatal Diagnosis
Perinatal consultation and ultrasound evaluations occur in our office at the same visit. Ultrasound is used to estimate the age or size of your baby, to look for birth defects or observe your baby’s activity and environment to evaluate well-being. Evaluations of the placenta, uterus and cervix also provide information about possible prenatal risks to the pregnancy. We provide a full spectrum of tests including: amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling (CVS), and percutaneous umbilical blood sampling (PUBS). Risks, benefits and potential fetal conditions are fully discussed at the time of ultrasound and prior to testing.
