The most important wish of prospective parents is that their pregnancy results in a healthy baby. The reality, however, is that between 3 to 5% of all babies are born with a serious problem or birth defect. If one also includes the minor birth defects, almost 8% of babies will have a major or minor birth defect. While all couples have some risks, some are known to have even higher ones. – Whether as a result of the age of the parents – particularly the mother -, family history, their own previous medical or pregnancy history, or because something has already been identified in the current pregnancy that makes the likelihood of a problem even higher, patients are often confronted with the need to find the most experienced physicians to help them get through what can be the most serious crisis of their lives.

Under these circumstances, to whom does one turn? The answer for thousands of women, from the Delaware Valley as well as all over the United States and abroad, for the past twenty years has often been the Center for Genetics & Maternal Fetal Medicine, known internationally for its pioneering work in developing new prenatal diagnostic tests and therapeutic procedures. We have developed a professional team to provide superb and friendly patient care, while coordinating an array of sub-specialists to take care of the very complicated issues of diagnosis and treatment of fetal and maternal problems.
