Provide In Vitro Fertilization treatment to patients with the inability to become pregnant. With assisted reproduction, a man's sperm and woman's egg are combined until fertilization occurs and thereafter, the embryo is transferred back to the woman's uterus for development.
Perinatology is a subspecialty of obstetrics and perinatologist are physicians who have extensive training in the field of high risk obstetrics thus providing care for both mother and fetus with a higher than normal risk for complications. Under this division, many fetal abnormalities are detected at an early in pregnancy at high percentage accuracy rate.
