What is a Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist?
A Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist is an Obstetrician/Gynecologist who has extensive additional education and clinical training in the care of obstetrical, medical, genetic, and surgical complications of pregnancy and their effects on both the mother and fetus.
All the physicians at Northwest Perinatal Center are certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and are further board-certified or board-eligible in the area of maternal-fetal medicine — certification which requires two to three years of training after a basic residency, and the passing of an additional written and oral examination.
