PPA provides a comprehensive range of services for screening, diagnosing, counseling and management of fetal anomalies during pregnancy. Our team provides unique medical services and potentially life saving therapies and treatment to the fetus while the mother is pregnant. The program is directed by PPA physicians, Dr. Garrett Lam, a maternal-fetal specialist trained in in-utero therapies, and Dr. William Clewell, a maternal fetal specialist who is a pioneer in fetal therapy, with more than 20 years of experience in in-utero procedures.

The mission of this program is to provide diagnosis and treatment for women whose unborn children have congenital defects or medical issues that need monitoring or intervention prior to birth. Our Fetal Therapy program offers services that are unique in Arizona and the Southwest, including:

• Consultation and care for all fetal abnormalities
  > Detailed sonographic assessment of fetal anatomy
  > Fetal MRI and diagnosis
  > 1st and 2nd trimester genetic screening
  > Genetic counseling
• Diagnostic genetic testing (CVS and amniocenteses)
• Specialized Doppler assessments of fetal blood flow
• Fetal blood sampling and intrauterine transfusions
• Laser therapy for twin-to-twin transfusions
• In-utero cord occlusions for parasitic twin sequence
• Fetal shunt placement
• Abdominal cerclage for cervical incompetence which cannot be managed by conventional cervical cerclage.
  

Our patients also benefit from our affiliation with The University of San Francisco's (UCSF) Fetal Treatment Center.
