Advanced maternity care in Dallas

Having a baby is a life-changing event. The board-certified Dallas OB-GYNs and staff at Health Central are committed to providing patients with high-quality medical care, along with personalized information and education to help you feel confident in the childbirth process. We have more than 50 years of experience with low-risk (normal) and high-risk pregnancies, as well as pregnancy complications such as ectopic pregnancy.

We cherish the warm relationships we've developed with our mothers-to-be as they journey through their pregnancy and birth, whether it's a first baby or a new sibling. That trust and confidence are reinforced by the knowledge that they are in good hands. Our Dallas OB-GYNs have received many awards from our peers and patients, including D Magazine Best Doctors and Patients' Choice Awards, Texas Monthly Super Doctors, Dallas Child Mom-Approved and Best Doctors in America.

From your first prenatal appointment through your follow-up visit after giving birth, we will work with you to ensure that you understand what is happening to your body and how your baby is growing and changing.

Home or hospital birth: Safe birthing options for mom and baby

Giving birth in the safety and security of the hospital environment is the best way to ensure a safe delivery for a mother-to-be and her newborn.

The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists published an opinion in February 2011 that, although the absolute risk of planned home births is low, published medical evidence shows that planned home birth does carry a two- to three-fold increase in the risk of newborn death compared with planned hospital births.

Even though most births go smoothly, obstetrical/neonatal complications such as placental abruption, breech presentation, eclampsia, hemorrhage, shoulder dystocia or other unexpected neonatal complications cannot be attended to as quickly at a home or birthing center, risking the mother and/or baby's life.

Our experienced obstetricians have seen thousands of births and many complications of delivery. If you're considering a home birth, we can schedule an appointment to talk with you about your expectations and desires for delivery. Our goal is always to balance the safety of everyone involved with your preferences and wishes.
