Information for Physicians

The physicians of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology want to provide our patients with the latest development in medicine in a compassionate, caring, environment. The faculty of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology offer a wide range of basic and specialized care for women during pregnancy. Each member of our highly skilled faculty is devoted to providing excellent care to all patients to ensure a healthy outcome for mothers and their babies.

Our physicians treat all problems associated with the reproductive tract of women. The Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility provide our patients with Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologists, and our Board Certified Gynecological Oncologists provide high level care for women with cancer.

The division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Surgery provides consultation and comprehensive evaluation and diagnostic testing for women with complex pelvic floor conditions including urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, genitourinary fistulas and congenital anomalies in order to provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art care for women with pelvic floor disorders.

The reputation of our physicians is underscored by their top ranking in surveys such as The Best Doctors in America (Best Doctors Inc).

Routine 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 the patient and her family. At the same time, the L&D suite is capable of handling the most complicated pregnancies and provides the patient with the reassurance that she and her 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.

The UAMS faculty serve as the primary educators for residents specializing in Obstetrics and Gynecology. To keep clinical practice up to date, the faculty also engage in clinical and laboratory research, participate in multi-center clinical trials, lecture around the state and nationally on special areas of expertise, and serve as examiners at the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
