Meet Our Team: Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Baylor College of Medicine’s maternal-fetal medicine specialists are highly trained, highly experienced and widely recognized for the quality of care they provide, and the outcomes they achieve for mothers and babies.

We treat the full range of high-risk pregnancy needs, from preexisting conditions in the mother to life-threatening complications that arise during pregnancy to the rarest fetal anomalies. We offer services and expertise at every stage of pregnancy, from preconception counseling, prenatal and antepartum care to high-risk deliveries and postpartum management, for the healthiest possible pregnancies and babies.

Our specialists are pioneers in the field of fetal medicine, performing groundbreaking fetal procedures that save and improve the lives of critically ill babies, and training our peers around the world on these innovative treatments to help all babies get the healthiest possible start to life. Our faculty include dual board certified MFM/critical care physicians to prioritize caring for the most medically complex pregnancies.

Our maternal-fetal medicine experts are also accomplished researchers and educators, advancing the treatment of high-risk pregnancies through scientific studies and discoveries, and training the next generation of leaders in our field.

We meet the needs of all patients through a large, diverse team of specialists, all board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology, with subspecialty certification in Maternal-Fetal Medicine.
