Gaston Perinatal Center

At the Gaston Perinatal Center, families are counseled about the specific problem they’re facing during the pregnancy. We develop a management plan and coordinate your care with your referring doctor to provide comprehensive care. The knowledge of a particular problem in advance may improve the outcome for both mom and baby.

What is a Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist?
A Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist is an individual who upon graduation from Medical School completes a 4 year residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology followed by 2-3 years of fellowship training. Maternal-Fetal Medicine fellowship training provides additional education and practical experience to gain special competence in various obstetrical, medical and surgical complications of pregnancy.
