Expert care for higher risk pregnancies.
A maternal-fetal specialist serves women who have high risk pregnancies, often due to pre-existing conditions. These conditions may include high blood pressure, heart or kidney disease, diabetes, a variety of infectious diseases or multiple births (twins, triplets, etc).
They are also called upon should any problems arise during the pregnancy. They are specially trained in the management of obstetrical, medical and surgical complications related to pregnancy.
Watson Clinic’s obstetrics and gynecology team includes one of the only board-certified maternal-fetal specialists in the area, Jeffrey M. Barrett, MD.
Taking simple precautionary measures can often times make all the difference in ensuring a healthy pregnancy. Dr. Barrett collaborates closely with the other members of the obstetrics and gynecology team to ensure a continuity of care for at risk patients. He also has specialized training in performing extensive ultrasonographic evaluation of the fetus to detect birth defects.
Dr. Barrett provides a broad range of services, including:
- Complete care of high risk pregnancies
- Early screening for chromosome abnormalities
- Genetic counseling
- State of the art diagnostic tests
- Advanced ultrasound for the prenatal detection of birth defects
Open communication is essential in providing the very best care to both the expectant mother and her child. We pride ourselves on that sense of teamwork at Watson Clinic.
