Maternal Fetal Medicine
The Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at University Hospitals of Cleveland, Case Western Reserve University, is a premiere patient care, teaching and research center.

The Division has a long tradition of excellence and a national reputation for providing outstanding patient care, cutting-edge basic and clinical research, and student and postgraduate education. Our mission is to provide the highest quality of medical care for women experiencing complicated pregnancies in a multi-disciplinary setting with our colleagues in the pediatric specialties of neonatology, cardiology, neurology, and surgery and in genetics.

We provide pre-conception counseling, genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis including comprehensive and targeted ultrasounds, first trimester screening, chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis and percutaneous umbilical blood sampling, among others.

Our expert faculty consists of highly trained maternal-fetal medicine specialists with extensive experience in the management of the most complex maternal and fetal disorders. Pregnant women suffering from serious medical disorders such as epilepsy, preeclampsia, chronic hypertension, renal disease, heart disease, solid organ transplantation, systemic lupus erythematosus, diabetes, and HIV-AIDS are cared for routinely in our center. We also have extensive clinical experience in the management of preterm labor, cervical insufficiency and preterm premature rupture of membranes.

An important dimension of our clinical expertise is our commitment to teaching and research. We train the next generation of obstetricians and gynecologists who will be responsible for the care of women and advancement of the field in the future. This educational process is tightly integrated into our clinical care, and allows for outstanding and compassionate patient care in a highly supervised setting.

Our research involvement is extensive. Our Division engages in many clinical trials attempting to address important and unanswered questions. We have studies that cover a broad range of obstetrical care issues and encourage our patients to participate in these studies if they are so inclined.
