Maternal-fetal medicine encompasses a huge variety of different disciplines. We see patients at all stages of pregnancy and even pre-pregnancy to discuss different maternal complications or different things that are going on with baby in order to make sure that we have the best outcome for both mom and baby.

A high risk pregnancy would be anything that makes risks higher for mom or for baby. We see moms that have had a complicated history, such as chronic hypertension, diabetes, preexisting illnesses that mom has that increase her risk during pregnancy, or anything going on with a baby that increases baby's risk of having a complication, having to be delivered early, or having something going on.

You get more comprehensive care when you're referred to a maternal-fetal medicine specialist. We're able to kind of partner with the patient's OB, and get the best outcome possible.

When people come to Baptist Health Louisville, they're gonna get the highest level of care. We feel very strongly about that, from my wonderful manager to the providers to the sonographers. We're all on the same team, and you're gonna be treated like family when you come here.

We take pride in making sure that we go the extra mile to not only get to know our patients, but make sure that they're treated like I would want my sister to be treated or my mom to be treated, and that they get the best care that they can.
