Акушерлік және гинекологияның емдеу - Fetal Plus

Fetal Plus is a specialized center for maternal-fetal medicine in the Dominican Republic. Established in 2024, the clinic has two branches in Santo Domingo Este and Punta Cana. It is the primary specialized facility for maternal-fetal care in the country's Eastern Zone. The center focuses on complete prenatal follow-up from the earliest stages of pregnancy.

Specialized Medical Team

The clinic has seven doctors covering multiple sub-specialties. These include obstetrics and gynecology, maternal-fetal medicine, cardiology, internal medicine, and neurology. Pediatric care comes from neonatologists with expertise in clinical genetics.

Notable specialists at the clinic include:

• Dr. Leidy Laura Castaños – Maternal-fetal medicine specialist.
• Dr. Agustin Diaz – Board-certified specialist (FACOG) focused on neurosonography and preterm birth.
• Dr. Irvin González Rosario – Specialist in managing high-risk pregnancies.
• Dr. Deivid Paredes – Specialist in cardiology and internal medicine for maternal health.
• Dr. Maxiel Javier – Pediatrician and neonatologist with a Master in Clinical Genetics.

The team uses an interconsultation approach for pregnancies needing closer monitoring. This means several experts review maternal health and fetal development together.

Prenatal Diagnostics and Imaging

Fetal Plus focuses on high-level prenatal diagnosis and fetal well-being assessments. The clinic performs specialized obstetric ultrasound in 2D, 3D, 4D, and 5D formats. These tools allow detailed fetal evaluations throughout pregnancy.

Diagnostic capabilities include several advanced imaging procedures:

• Fetal echocardiography for heart health evaluation.
• Neurosonography to monitor fetal brain development.
• Maternal and fetal Doppler evaluations to check blood flow.
• Fetal hemodynamic profile studies to analyze placental circulation.
• Biophysical profile and non-stress testing to assess fetal heart rate and movement.

The center also provides prenatal genetic testing (fetal DNA) paired with genetic counseling. These tests help families understand potential genetic risks early in the pregnancy.

Advanced Medical Technologies

The clinic uses the Samsung HERA Z20 ultrasound system for diagnostic accuracy. This platform supports the 4D STIC workflow, which gives detailed views of the fetal heart. Doctors can detect cardiac anomalies that may need intervention after birth.

Doppler technology monitors circulation between the mother, placenta, and baby. This helps doctors spot signs of fetal distress or placental insufficiency early. The equipment supports both transvaginal and abdominal imaging for all pregnancy stages.

International Patient Care and Education

Fetal Plus offers support for international patients, including Portuguese-speaker assistance. Families can coordinate prenatal care across both clinic locations. This is especially helpful for patients visiting the Punta Cana or Bavaro resort areas.

The clinic provides educational resources to prepare families for childbirth and infant care:

• In-person prenatal preparation workshops.
• Breastfeeding and newborn care training.
• Prenatal yoga classes at the Punta Cana branch.
• Preparation workshops for labor and delivery.

These workshops build confidence in parents before the baby arrives. Genetic counseling is also available for families undergoing advanced diagnostic testing.
