Maternal-Fetal Medicine at Mount Sinai West

The Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialists at Mount Sinai West provide advanced care for women experiencing high-risk pregnancies. Our physicians have extensive expertise in managing complex maternal health conditions, fetal abnormalities, and pregnancy complications, delivering personalized care throughout every stage of pregnancy.

Because every pregnancy is unique, we work closely with a multidisciplinary team that may include neonatologists, genetic counselors, internists, and pediatric subspecialists. Together, we develop a coordinated care plan focused on achieving the healthiest possible outcome for both you and your baby.

Whether you are looking for comprehensive obstetric care, a single consultation, or ongoing collaboration with your obstetrician, our team is here to help. From routine ultrasounds to the management of multiple pregnancies or medical conditions such as diabetes or hypertension, we provide the specialized expertise and support you need.

Our specialists are highly skilled in advanced fetal imaging and diagnostic testing, including state-of-the-art 3D and 4D ultrasound, chorionic villus sampling, and amniocentesis. We also perform specialized fetal therapies, including fetal blood sampling, intrauterine transfusion, and in utero shunt placement for select fetal conditions. In addition, our team has significant experience caring for complicated multiple gestations, offering procedures such as multifetal pregnancy reduction, and radiofrequency ablation, when appropriate.

Genetic Counseling

Our prenatal genetic counseling program offers comprehensive clinical evaluations and laboratory testing to identify chromosomal abnormalities and inherited conditions. We also provide an expanded carrier screening panel that evaluates 787 genetic disorders.

If testing identifies a genetic condition, our genetic counselors will help you understand the results and provide the information and guidance you need to make informed decisions before and during your pregnancy.

We also partner with referring physicians by offering consultations, advanced ultrasound evaluations, and specialized recommendations, allowing many patients to continue receiving routine prenatal care from their primary obstetrician.
