Ultrasound

Ultrasound

Our high-tech, high-touch approach includes the latest in ultrasound technology. Ultrasound enables us – and you – to see your baby as he or she grows throughout your pregnancy. It is a safe and painless test that uses sound waves to create images showing the baby’s position and shape.

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends having at least one ultrasound during your pregnancy. Depending on your situation, you may need additional ultrasound tests as your pregnancy progresses. Ultrasounds can safely be done in the first, second, or third trimester.

An ultrasound will help your healthcare provider:

  • Detect whether your pregnancy is outside the uterus
  • Confirm your expected date of delivery
  • See whether there might be more than one baby
  • See whether your baby is growing at a normal rate
  • Record your baby’s heartbeat and breathing movements
  • Check the amount of amniotic fluid in your uterus
  • Check the position of the placenta in the late stages of your pregnancy.

Karen Guida is top notch. My anxiety is going when I meet with doctors as I always feel they are in a rush. NOT DR GUIDA. She is relatable and thorough. She made me feel only me and my appointment mattered at that time. I love it!

Daniela has always provided the highest level of care with more compassion and honesty than I have seen from almost any doctor. She is upfront and direct but also extremely caring. If all of the medical professionals that I work with were like her I would be fortunate.

Dr. Flanagan is a wonderful doctor that I've seen for many years. She makes it a priority to know you as a person and not just a patient. She is wonderful and I'm picky.
