A collaborative approach

Working alongside your OB provider, not in place of them

For our patients
You do not need to transfer your care to see us.

We work alongside your OB as an extension of your care team, offering subspecialty expertise while your primary provider continues routine prenatal care. This collaborative approach ensures seamless communication and a shared plan for both routine and high-risk needs.

One shared plan, two coordinated providers
Preconception counseling

Planning ahead can make pregnancy safer and more predictable

If you have a medical condition and are thinking about becoming pregnant, a preconception consultation lets us review your health history, medications, and pregnancy risks before conception. The goal is a personalized plan that supports both maternal health and fetal development from the very beginning.

Why it matters

Many pregnancy complications can be reduced or prevented with preparation

Optimizing blood pressure, glucose control, thyroid function, and medication safety before conception sets the strongest possible starting point.

Preconception counseling helps ensure you enter pregnancy in the safest position for both you and your baby.

During a preconception visit

  • Review of your medical history and prior pregnancies
  • Evaluation of current medications for pregnancy safety
  • Recommended adjustments to treatment before conception
  • Optimization of blood pressure, glucose, thyroid, or other conditions
  • Discussion of genetic screening options when appropriate
  • Identification of risks that may affect timing or management
  • Coordination with your primary physician or specialists
