Pregnant people have tons of questions about their pregnancy and often times their visit to the doctor's office consists of measuring blood pressure, listening to the fetal heartbeat, measuring the uterus, and then they are sent on their way with plenty of unasked and unanswered questions.
To solve this problem, I offer comprehensive prenatal visits of longer duration (60 minutes) where we discuss in detail how minor complaints of pregnancy can be treated, how to prevent pregnancy complications, what the standard lab tests done in pregnancy look for (why they are done, what happens if they find something & how the conditions can be treated), and how to prepare for labor, delivery and postpartum.
