Performing more than 5,000 ultrasound scans each year

We have more affiliated perinatologists than anywhere else in San Diego — and we use state-of-the-art equipment to perform a range of diagnostic services from amniocentesis to DNA gene probe testing.
We diagnose and treat risks including:
Babies affected by growth
Birth defects
Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Pregnancy over age 40
Pregnant women with heart, lung or kidney problems or with diabetes
Previous pregnancy loss
Seizure disorders
With you from diagnosis through delivery
If you're facing a high-risk pregnancy, we strive to make your care plan as easy as possible. Following a consultation with a perinatologist, most women return to their own obstetrician for prenatal care and delivery. But if you are in need of highly specialized assistance, your perinatologist will provide comprehensive care from diagnosis through delivery.
Beyond the bedside, we know you long for peace of mind in your pregnancy. And by putting you at the center of all we do, we help more women deliver happy, healthy babies.
