Frequently Asked Questions



What can I expect at my first visit?

My goal for our first visit is for you to leave feeling heard, informed, and confident. It will be a dedicated time for me to listen to your story and your concerns. I will act as your advocate, ensuring we address your preferences while prioritizing your safety. We will review your history, likely perform a detailed ultrasound, and then sit down to discuss everything, making a plan together.



Will my baby need to go to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) after birth?

It's a possibility we prepare for, and if it's needed, your baby will be in the best hands. We are proud to have the only Level IIIC NICU in Bergen County, which provides comprehensive, 24-hour care for extremely premature babies born as early as 22 weeks. This unit is equipped with advanced non-invasive oxygen support for babies with the most complex pulmonary needs, ensuring the highest level of care is available right here at Hackensack. 



If my baby needs specialized care after birth, will you refer me to pediatric specialists?

We provide a seamless transition from our care to the best pediatric care available. Our practice is directly connected to the #1 children's hospital in New Jersey, giving your baby access to over 200 specialists across more than 30 pediatric fields. Furthermore, our NICU graduates can enroll in a dedicated NICU follow-up program, which monitors their growth and developmental milestones, ensuring a continuum of expert care long after you leave the hospital.
