Pregnancy and early motherhood are two of the most life altering and rewarding times that you, as a woman, can experience. These are also two times in your life when you will need the most support before, during, and after your pregnancy.

Unfortunately, insurance companies only pay for your “medically necessary” visits, often resulting in you being directed to urgent care or triage centers at local hospitals.

But what happens if you have complications such as hyperemesis gravidarum or a threatened miscarriage? Can you afford to wait two to three weeks to see your Obstetrician in their office? Do you want to be forced to seek care in the Emergency Room from an ER physician who knows nothing about you or obstetrics in general? Or seek care from an on-call hospital OB/GYN who knows obstetrics but knows nothing about you or your pregnancy?

Maybe you just want to see your baby via ultrasound more often than the two ultrasound scans your insurance allows you to receive.

For these reasons and many more, we are proud to offer Concierge Obstetrical services.
