Treatment Programs | Contact Us / Request an Appointment

Once diagnosis of a fetal abnormality is confirmed, our Fetal Care Center of Cincinnati care team creates a plan of treatment in collaboration with your OB / GYN or maternal-fetal physician. The plan may involve treatment during pregnancy, during delivery and immediately following delivery and may extend into the weeks, months or years after your child's birth.

The Fetal Care Center of Cincinnati is one of only three centers in the United States to offer the full range of fetal surgical interventions.

This level of care requires not only the finest fetal and pediatric surgical expertise, but also a state-of-the-art facility staffed and equipped to provide the continuum of support services you and your baby may require. Our unique collaborative of hospitals (Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Good Samaritan Hospital and The University Hospital) allows us to answer your every need when facing the serious complications of a high-risk pregnancy.

Our physicians and other specialists provide you with all of the information available about the diagnosis, prognosis and potential long-term outcome you face. This allows you to choose a course of treatment knowledgeably from the various options presented.
