About East Cooper Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialists

At East Cooper Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialists we are dedicated to obstetrics, maternal, and fetal intervention because we know to improve the health of children, we must start with mothers. East Cooper Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialists provides high-risk obstetric patients’ access to a perinatologist through our Maternal Fetal Medicine practice. Perinatologists take care of both the mother and the fetus (unborn baby) during a complicated, or high-risk, pregnancy. Perinatology is often called Maternal Fetal Medicine. Delivering a baby is a special time for any woman. Our maternity team is dedicated to making the experience everything you hoped it would be. You probably have many questions, and we are happy to provide you with insightful and expert knowledge on how you can best care for your child during and after your pregnancy.
