It is important to us that you actively participate in decision-making about your care. Our MFM specialists will help you understand your treatment choices so that you can make the best possible decisions for both you and your babies.
You will have prenatal appointments with your MFM at the Medical Disorders of Pregnancy clinic. Depending on your specific needs, you may also have appointments at our OB medicine clinic, high-risk OB anesthesia clinic or with other specialists at Mount Sinai Hospital.
