Meet our Physicians

The doctors at UT Medical Group's Center for High Risk Pregnancies are known for their compassionate patient care. They understand both the anxiety and the joy of pregnancy because they are parents themselves. Their first concern is to ensure the health of you and your baby. Moreover, they are up-to-date on the latest research and treatments in Maternal-Fetal Medicine. They are all on the faculty of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Medicine (UTHSC).
