About Us

Mount Carmel is a place where miracles happen. Little Miracles. For women with high-risk pregnancies, those miracles happen in part thanks to the personal care they receive from the maternal fetal medicine specialists at the Maternal Fetal Diagnostic Center at Mount Carmel St. Ann's. The center provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art diagnostic and monitoring services and genetic counseling that can detect pregnancy complications and fetal abnormalities. Those findings allow physicians and patients to take precautions and ensure that our patients' pregnancies – and their babies – are as safe and healthy as possible. The center has been recognized by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and approved as a satellite research site for The Ohio State University Medical Center Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine. It's a designation that demonstrates Mount Carmel's place on the cutting edge of maternal fetal medicine and our commitment to caring for high-risk pregnancies.

Ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of America's Best Pediatric Hospitals, Nationwide Children's Hospital is a collaborative environment that fosters forward thinking and innovation. As a top ten National Institutes of Health funded pediatric research institute, The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital is a leader in basic, clinical and translational research initiatives. Each year more than 4,400 babies receive the highest level of care from our neonatal and pediatric surgical specialists. As one of the largest neonatal centers in the nation, we dedicate ourselves not only to treating, but ultimately preventing all complications of prematurity. By using advanced fetal diagnostics, we work with the perinatologists to pinpoint the fetus' problem and recommend the best possible treatment, allowing for the planning and care of nearly every fetal complication. Our extraordinary number of patients allows us to provide the highest level of experience and translate that experience into programs that address fetal diagnosis across the spectrum of newborn conditions to essential long-term follow-up care.

Superior clinical expertise coupled with a genuine compassion for the care of moms-to-be and a strong commitment to communication with patients and physicians has differentiated the OhioHealth Maternal-Fetal Medicine team. OhioHealth has five hospital locations in central Ohio with diagnostic and fetal-monitoring capabilities to manage high-risk pregnancy complications. As a destination for highly specialized care for pregnant women, Maternal-Fetal Medicine at Riverside Methodist Hospital provides personalized care for women who are at risk for pregnancy related problems. Our highly trained and experienced team includes ultrasound technologists, nurse clinicians, genetic counselors and maternal-fetal medicine specialists. In addition, Riverside Methodist has received disease-specific certification from the Joint Commission in High-Risk Obstetrics and has a dedicated High Risk In-patient Unit. From the superior medical care to the trusted experience of the staff, the Maternal-Fetal Medicine team is devoted to exceeding patient expectations and providing the best possible care for moms and their babies.

Named to the U.S. News & World Report Honor Roll in 2009-2010, as one of the Top 21 hospitals in the nation based on quality, outcomes and reputation; and named one of the Top 20 hospitals in the nation in Gynecology services, the only central Ohio hospital ranked among “America’s Best” in that specialty by U.S. News.

For more than 25 years, OSU Maternal Fetal Medicine has been delivering the very best prenatal care to patients who are experiencing a high-risk pregnancy. Our team of 10 specialists, many of whom are ranked among America’s Best Doctors by their peers provide patients with the highest level of obstetrical care. As active participants in numerous collaborative research efforts, we provide many opportunities for patients to participate in research that will further improve the quality of care for patients around the world.
