Maternal Fetal Medicine & High-Risk Pregnancy NYC

Mount Sinai's Maternal Fetal Medicine team includes specialists who are experts in caring for women with high-risk pregnancies. Our team is committed to providing the best possible care to our patients. We care for pregnancies with complicated maternal medical conditions, fetal anomalies, and other pregnancy-related complications or high-risk situations. We take a team approach to the care of our patients, often working with our neonatal colleagues, genetic counselors, internal medicine specialists, and pediatric subspecialists to provide you with a plan of care to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

We can provide your entire obstetric care at our office, perform a one-time consultation, or provide ongoing co-management with your own obstetrician. Whether you need a basic ultrasound to assess your baby’s anatomy, have a multiple gestation, or a medical condition like diabetes or hypertension, we are here to respond to all of your needs.

Our maternal fetal medicine specialists are uniquely trained in fetal diagnostic procedures, including state-of-the-art 3D and 4D ultrasounds, chorionic villus sampling, and amniocentesis. We are experts in specialized procedures such as fetal blood sampling, intrauterine transfusion, and in-utero shunt placement to treat certain fetal conditions. We also have special expertise in caring for multiple gestations, including performing multifetal pregnancy reduction, selective termination, and radiofrequency ablation for complicated multiple gestations.

Genetic Counseling

Our prenatal genetic counseling program provides comprehensive clinical and laboratory services to find any chromosomal abnormalities. We offer a comprehensive carrier screening panel that includes 281 genetic disorders.

If we find a genetic defect, we will provide you with comprehensive genetic counseling to help you make informed health care decisions prior to and/or during your pregnancy.
