High-Risk Pregnancy Services
Maternal and Fetal Medicine Center
Parents can rest easy knowing their baby’s health is in excellent hands through every stage of pregnancy. Our Maternal and Fetal Medicine Center combines medical expertise with advanced technology to diagnose and manage maternal or fetal problems.
The center is accredited by the American Institute of Ultrasound Medicine and performs approximately 10,000 ultrasound procedures every year.
Your obstetrician will provide you with a referral or preauthorization, which you must present upon registration on the day of your visit to the Maternal and Fetal Medicine Center. You should also contact your insurance company to ensure that Englewood Hospital and our physicians are covered by your plan.

Our center is staffed with board-certified maternal-fetal medicine specialists, registered perinatal sonographers, pediatric cardiologists, and certified genetic counselors. If necessary, we will connect you with other appropriate pediatric subspecialists prior to your delivery.

Getting Your Results

We will communicate those results to you clearly and take as much time as necessary to address any concerns you may have. No question is too big or too small, so please don’t hesitate to ask.
