Welcome to Phoenix Perinatal Associates.
A maternal-fetal specialist, also called a perinatologist, is a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology with advanced training in the management of high-risk pregnancies. An MFM specialist cares for high-risk pregnancy women with chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, and monitor women who develop complications during pregnancy such as early labor. An MFM specialist may also be involved in the care of women expecting twins, triplets or more. Our MFM specialists can act as consultants or primary care providers during a pregnancy.
A perinatal nurse practitioner (PNP) may also assist in the care of a high-risk pregnant woman. PNPs have received advanced training to care for women with pregnancy complications. In collaboration with our MFM specialists, the PNP is available 24 hours/day to triage outpatients’ phone calls, provide care during office visits and assist our physicians with procedures, diagnosis and inpatient management of the high-risk and critically ill pregnant woman.
Our practice offers a variety of services and programs for expectant mothers or those who may be planning a pregnancy, including:
Our neonatal team cares for premature and critically-ill newborns in many area hospitals. Visit our neonatology section to learn more about the neonatal care we provide.
