Amniocentesis Picture

Amniocentesis

Amniocentesis is a safe, proven technique that has been used for decades to help provide the best care possible for expecting mothers and their babies. Used for a variety of fetal diagnostic procedures, the test uses ultrasound guidance to ensure the safe removal of amniotic fluid.

Our physicians at Perinatal Associates of New Mexico are highly-trained and experienced in performing genetic amniocenteses. You can be sure that you’ll be in the hands of a skilled expert during your procedure.

As with all testing performed at PANM, you’ll also receive counseling about amniocentesis prior to the test to make sure that you’re comfortable with the process and fully understand the risks, benefits, and limitations involved.

 

I was referred to Perinatal Associates due to Advanced Maternal Age so my first initial appointment was pretty lengthy having met with a Genetic Counselor and then the ultrasound and consult w/ a doctor to follow. I learned things I wasn’t even aware of and may seem scary to some people, but I found that the information given was very helpful for future planning. The Providers and staff were very knowledgeable, kind, understanding and caring! I’m grateful that I didn’t have any real complications other than my age, but if I did I am confident that Perinatal Associates would have held my hand and yours should you need it through any uncertainties, time of need and/ or difficulties. The entire staff is amazing from the Front office all the way up to the Providers.
