Dr. Patel dedicates her practice to women experiencing complex pregnancies, ensuring optimal health outcomes for both mothers and their babies.
As a board-certified maternal-fetal medicine specialist, Dr. Patel expertly manages a wide range of high-risk pregnancy scenarios. This includes multiple gestations, pre-existing conditions like diabetes or hypertension in mothers, fetal anomalies detected during prenatal screenings, and various complications arising during pregnancy. Dr. Patel understands the emotional toll of high-risk pregnancies and focuses on clear communication and patient education to alleviate anxiety and build confidence.
Dr. Patel believes in a collaborative approach to healthcare. Working closely with expectant mothers, their families, and their broader medical team, she ensures a holistic and personalized care plan. Navigating the complexities of high-risk pregnancies often involves difficult decisions. Dr. Patel and the experienced team at UT Southwestern provide guidance and support, carefully considering the well-being of both mother and baby.
UT Southwestern’s maternal-fetal medicine unit stands out by offering comprehensive services beyond consultation. Unlike many specialists, Dr. Patel provides inpatient care for pregnant women needing hospitalization due to complications. Furthermore, UT Southwestern offers delivery services by maternal-fetal medicine specialists, ensuring expert care throughout the entire pregnancy and birth process. Dr. Patel leverages the multidisciplinary environment at UT Southwestern, collaborating with leading experts in various medical fields to deliver the best possible care.
Recognizing the importance of coordinated care, UT Southwestern’s strong alliance with Children’s Health offers a significant advantage. For pregnancies where fetal anomalies are detected, parents can meet with the neonatologists and pediatric specialists from Children’s Health prior to birth. This proactive approach allows for detailed planning and a smoother transition to specialized newborn care if needed.
Dr. Shivani Patel, a distinguished “patel doctor” in maternal-fetal medicine at UT Southwestern, is committed to providing exceptional care and support to women with high-risk pregnancies.
