 ### Prenatal Care

Family Medicine is proud to provide comprehensive prenatal care for women. Skilled family physicians are trained to treat a variety of obstetrical concerns, and provide care in the Women &amp; Infants Center when it is time for baby to be born and after baby is born. Some providers have surgical training, and are experienced in caring for women who have had, or may require a Cesarean section to safely delivery their baby. Additionally, Family Medicine is delighted to offer care for newborns.
