UT Southwestern Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialists work side-by-side with physicians from the General Obstetrics and Gynecology division and community obstetricians to provide seamless patient care during pregnancy.
In most cases, women return to their obstetrician after consultation and development of a plan for care. But in some circumstances, patients are transferred to the care of the maternal-fetal medicine doctors who also deliver the babies.
Referrals are open to women throughout Texas and the southwestern United States. CLICK HERE for Specialists in Maternal-Fetal Medicine.
