OB Care at FCN

A trusted partner to care for you and your baby

Choosing a doctor for OB care is one of the first big decisions you’ll make after becoming pregnant. When you choose a family physician for OB care, it is the start of relationship that lasts far beyond pregnancy. You will build your pregnancy and delivery plan with a doctor who gets to know you, your family, and your baby. Even better, the relationship you build with your doctor during pregnancy can continue with your child after birth. The same doctor you have come to know and trust can become your baby’s doctor, too!

A special type of OB care

Family physicians are residency-trained, board-certified specialists who provide collaborative and family-focused OB care – from conception to delivery and beyond. Several of our doctors also perform c-sections. All of our OB providers work as a team to support all Family Care Network patients, even if you receive your pregnancy care at a different FCN clinic. If care by another type of specialist is needed during your pregnancy, your family physician will make sure you receive proper consultation in a timely manner.

Family Care Network also offers additional services that support our patients during pregnancy, including on-site lab services, three urgent care locations, and after-hours on call providers.

New OB patients welcome

All of the doctors shown below are accepting new OB patients; you do not need to be a current FCN patient to receive OB care with us. Learn more about each doctor by selecting their photo.
