Advanced specialist care that considers mother and baby together.
A perinatologist, also known as a maternal-fetal medicine specialist, is an obstetrician-gynecologist who has completed advanced training in high-risk pregnancy and fetal medicine. Maternal medical conditions, fetal development, prenatal screening and diagnosis, and obstetric complications are assessed together.
Members of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, including Prof. Dr. İbrahim Bildirici, have advanced training and experience in the obstetric, medical, genetic and surgical complications of pregnancy and their potential effects on both mother and baby.
