Information for Patients

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology offers a wide range of services for patients coming to UAMS. In addition to normal pregnancies and/or high-risk pregnancies, our physicians treat all problems associated with the reproductive tract of women. The Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility provides our patients Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologists. Our Board Certified Gynecological Oncologists also provide compassionate and high level care for women with cancer.

Obstetrical care at UAMS is primarily provided by our Division of General Obstetrics and Gynecology. For those women with no obstetrical complications, the General Ob/Gyn group will be their primary physicians. However, for some women, special needs arise either before or during pregnancy that require additional care from Maternal-Fetal Medicine subspecialists. These MFM physicians focus on managing complicated pregnancies. Those patients with either a newly diagnosed obstetrical complication, or those with a medical history potentially complicating their current pregnancy, will be managed by the Maternal-Fetal Medicine faculty or co-managed jointly by the General Ob/Gyn physicians and the MFM subspecialists. Our Board Certified MFM subspecialists at UAMS provide care to patients at both a primary and a referral level.

UAMS Medical Center provides a state of the art Labor and Delivery service to make the uncomplicated delivery a pleasant and memorable experience for you and your family. At the same time, the L&D suite is capable of handling the most complicated pregnancies and provides you with the reassurance that you and your baby are being delivered in the safest environment possible. The faculty physicians work closely and cooperatively with the highly skilled anesthesiologists, pediatric subspecialists and internists including cardiologists, endocrinologists, nephrologists and others.
