First Trimester Fetal Echocardiography
The majority of severe congenital heart defects (CHD) are detectable at 11-14 weeks. We specialize in early fetal echocardiography, with over 10 years of experience performing first trimester fetal heart examinations in high risk populations.
Advanced Technology
Our program uses the latest technology, 4-dimensional (4D) ultrasound imaging, to assess each case.
Parent Education
We diligently provide support and education for each patient. We believe that personalized care, good communication and planning reduce stress and anxiety within the family.
