The division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) at Weill Cornell Medicine enjoys international acclaim for the quality of comprehensive and innovative care our specialists provide for women and their fetuses during high risk pregnancies. The physicians within our division are all board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and have subspecialty board certification in MFM. These doctors are academic leaders who bring to every patient the benefits of the most advanced knowledge of the obstetrical, medical, genetic and surgical complications of pregnancy and their impact on both mother and fetus.
Most women seek consultation or care from an MFM specialist because they are either considering becoming pregnant and may be at risk; or because they are already pregnant and have a medical history or condition and they require the expertise of specialists with experience in managing complicated pregnancies with the best possible outcomes.
Medical complications of pregnancy addressed by Weill Cornell's MFM specialists include:
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Preeclampsia (toxemia)
- Diabetes or other endocrine disorders
- Kidney or gastrointestinal disease
- Infectious diseases
- Lupus in Pregnancy
MFM physicians also provide special care for otherwise healthy women, whose pregnancies are at increased risk due to other conditions, including:
- Abnormal AFP (alpha fetoprotein) blood test
- Expected twins, triplets or more
- Recurrent pre-term labor and delivery
- Premature rupture of membranes
- Recurrent pregnancy loss
- Suspected fetal growth restriction (baby not growing enough)
Delivering outstanding medical care with compassion and concern for each patient is part of Weill Cornell Medicine's over 100-year tradition of excellence in academic medicine. If you or your unborn child has been diagnosed with a high-risk condition, consider a consultation with one of our MFM specialists who can provide the highest level of assessment and care throughout your pregnancy. We also work closely with the physicians in the Perinatal Center to help coordinate every aspect of care for you and your pregnancy.
What Our Patients Are Saying
"Dr. Pri-Paz is a skilled and compassionate physician. He took excellent care of both me and my baby, anticipated and dealt with any complications, and treated me with kindness throughout the process."
"A trusted expert that delivered my first child and is supporting my second pregnancy. Professional, knowledgeable, honest. Could not recommend more highly."
"Dr. Kalish was my doctor and my son was born in december 2017. I had a potentially devastating complication of vasa previa. She kept me calm, well-informed, highly monitored, and listened closely as well as giving us her expert advice and patience from the very beginning to the end. We had difficult decisions to make in terms of deciding to have him at 34 weeks, for a higher chance of a live birth. My son is thriving and I thank my lucky stars I found Dr. Kalish and her team."
