Maternal-Fetal Medicine
Mayo Clinic patients with a high risk condition have the benefit of management from a highly specialized Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) team. Well known for their expertise, our MFM physicians care for our highest risk patients as well as provide consultation to all of our patients depending on their level of acuity. MFM consultants manage disorders such as patients with triplets, fetal anomalies, unstable medical conditions, cancer, chronic kidney disease, HIV, intrauterine growth restriction, and maternal cardiac disease. Specialty surgery, treatment options, and clinical trials are available to our patients when needed alongside their routine prenatal care. Our Maternal-Fetal Medicine team also leads our Ultrasound clinic ensuring the highest quality obstetric radiology in the Midwest. Read more about maternal-fetal medicine care at Mayo Clinic.
Maternal-fetal medicine care is available at Mayo Clinic Rochester along with select sites in the Mayo Clinic Health System. MFM physicians are also available for telemedicine consults for local, Midwest and destination maternity patients.
