Specialized care.
Every step considered.
Consultation, screening, imaging, and treatment for women and their babies throughout pregnancy.
What is a
perinatologist?
A perinatologist is an obstetrician-gynecologist with additional training in Maternal-Fetal Medicine and high-risk pregnancy care.
Our founder, Dr. C. Scott Naylor, is board-certified in Obstetrics & Gynecology and Maternal-Fetal Medicine.
A consultation may help when a pregnancy involves a medical, obstetric, or genetic condition, or a suspected ultrasound finding. Our team works with your referring obstetrician to evaluate risks and plan care.
Our goal is to improve your baby’s outcome and reduce the need for neonatal intensive care through coordinated, specialized care.
