Although Cesarean (C-section) deliveries are considered quite safe, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends a vaginal delivery unless a there’s a medical reason for a C-section. For example: your baby is relatively large or in breech (bottom-first) position. In either vaginal or C-section birth, Dr. Sullivan has abundant experience and up-to-the-minute knowledge, you can be sure he will deliver your baby with exceptional calm and skill.

Based on the genetic backgrounds and family medical histories of you and the father, we recommend fetal genetic tests for certain inherited conditions. Using the most accurate tests available, we can help you prepare for special medical needs your baby may have.

Our doctor’s are experienced and well-trained in caring for higher-risk pregnancies and conditions including:

•Recurrent Miscarriages

•Pregnancy after age 35

•Preterm (premature) labor

•Chronic diabetes (present prior to pregnancy)

•Gestational diabetes (onset during pregnancy)

•Hypertension (high blood pressure)

•Cervical insufficiency (also called “incompetent cervix”)

•Multiple pregnancies (twins or more)

•Pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy)

•Anti-Phospholipid Antibody Syndrome (when the immune system attacks normal blood proteins, increasing the risk of blood clots and pregnancy complications)

•Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Section (VBAC)

Mainly a torment to women of childbearing age, ovarian cysts are blister-like, fluid-filled sacs that develop on the ovaries. Most often harmless in nature, these cysts will rupture each time an egg is released during ovulation. Ovarian cysts are often painless, however, during or following intercourse a woman may feel a dull ache, sharp pains, or feel pressure in the abdominal area. Even though, ovarian cysts pose no danger, they can develop into polycystic ovarian disease if abnormal in nature if estrogen and progesterone hormones remain unbalanced.
