The physicians in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology provide a full range of general obstetric and gynecological services, as well as specialized care in maternal-fetal medicine (high risk pregnancies). We provide consultation and treatment in urogynecology and pediatric and adolescent gynecology, and manage women’s health care during menopause. Our physicians are also skilled in advanced gynecological procedures that are not widely available.

Diagnostic resources include gynecological ultrasound and saline infusion sonography (to diagnose abnormalities of the endometrium). Our obstetricians use chorionic villus sampling (a procedure that samples a small portion of the developing placenta), amniocentesis, and high resolution ultrasound (which provides detailed imaging for suspected birth defects).

Our Division of Genetics is home to the Midlands Region Medical Genetic Center, providing a wide array of clinical genetic services. The Division of Genetics offers genetic counseling, prenatal marker screening (to detect birth defects), and laboratory genetic testing for cancer, leukemia, birth defects, infertility, pregnancy loss, and prenatal diagnosis of inherited disorders.

Patients may call for general obstetrics and gynecology appointments. Physician referral is required for subspecialty appointments.
