Perinatal Consultation
Your obstetrician may refer you to Dr. Minior to advise on the management of a high-risk condition during pregnancy. Perinatal consultation is helpful whenever a pregnancy is complicated by medical, obstetrical, or genetic conditions, or when there is a suspected ultrasound abnormality. Dr. Minior believes that the highest quality care is achieved when time is taken to review all of the available information and have a detailed discussion with the patient. Telemedicine consultations are also available.
During the consultation, Dr. Minior will carefully review your medical problems, medications you are taking, your medical history and the history of your previous pregnancies as well as medical conditions that may run in your family.
Relevant information such as lab tests, imaging studies, notes from other doctors or blood glucose logs will be reviewed. She will then discuss with you your risks and make recommendations to optimize your current pregnancy. This may include screening or diagnostic tests, surveillance of your fetus, precautionary measures to take, other doctors to consult with and the healthiest diet to follow.
Dr. Minior believes that a healthy diet is the cornerstone of good health for every pregnant woman and her fetus. She will also work closely with your doctor at every stage of your pregnancy to effectively manage your condition so that the best outcome can be achieved. Prompt feedback to your doctor will be provided by phone and fax. Referring physicians can also reach Dr. Minior 24/7 to discuss your condition or any problems that may arise.
