Maternal-Fetal Medicine
Maternal-Fetal Medicine is a subspecialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology with a focus on interpreting obstetrical ultrasounds; identifying and managing potential high-risk conditions and birth defects. A Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist is a consulting physician who works with the patient and her primary obstetrician making recommendations for obstetrical care to achieve the best possible outcomes regardless of the circumstances.
Our Maternal-Fetal Medicine team is led by Darren M Farley, MD. He completed Medical School and his Obstetrics and Gynecology residency through Kansas University School of Medicine and completed a Maternal-Fetal Medicine fellowship in San Antonio Texas.
Because Dr. Farley is a consulting physician, initial appointments are made by referral only from the primary obstetrical provider. Services provided by our Maternal-Fetal staff include consultations, amniocentesis, nuchal translucency, biophysical profile and fetal non-stress tests.
Dr. Farley also reviews the obstetrical ultrasounds ordered by our 14 general obstetricians. With state of the art ultrasound equipment we are able to provide a disk with captured images of the baby at the anatomy sonogram which generally occurs between 18th and 20th week of pregnancy.
Our Maternal-Fetal Medicine department is located at our East Wichita office at 3232 E Murdock. Wichita, KS 67208 and can be contacted by calling 316-239-2850.
