About Our Services
The Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment provides complete care – fetal diagnosis, prenatal management, delivery and postnatal care – for women carrying babies with fetal defects.
Our care is shaped by our belief that the fetus is a separate patient. Therefore, every member of our multidisciplinary team is an expert in caring for both unborn babies and their mothers.
