At White Plains Hospital Physician Associates, our maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) physicians specialize in high-risk pregnancy care, treating women with obstetric, medical, surgical and genetic conditions that may affect pregnancy.
Women at risk for complications due to multiple births; pre-term labor; or the potential for birth defects due to family history, advanced maternal age, pre-existing conditions or medical history are often referred to one of our Maternal-Fetal Medicine physicians. They are key members of a team of specialists, including OB/GYN physicians, nurses and nurse midwives, who work together to ensure a healthy outcome for both mother and baby.
Our physicians work closely with specialists at White Plains Hospital, which has earned several awards for its exceptional inpatient care for both mothers and babies, including Magnet® designation for nursing excellence and designation as a Baby-Friendly® Hospital. In addition, White Plains Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) has received the gold-level Beacon Award from the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) and been designated as a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), the highest level available to a community hospital.
Monitoring and ultrasound are performed in a comfortable setting located in the main Hospital using the most advanced technology available.
