More Details
Red carpet service and a spa-like environment
Our FETAL Center is a warm, welcoming environment where expectant parents can meet their care team. We offer complimentary valet parking and a private entrance, so families don’t have to find their way through the busy hospital. Our consultation rooms feature comfortable furniture and a spa-like atmosphere to help parents feel as comfortable as possible.
An expert team, by your side
Each family is matched with a FETAL care coordinator who stays with you every step of the way. The coordinator accompanies families during consultations with doctors, and helps schedule tests and appointments to make care convenient.
In fact, coordinators arrange care so that all the specialists you need come to you during a single appointment. You don’t have to go from clinic to clinic—or keep coming back to see one doctor at a time.
We’re proud to be the only pediatric hospital affiliated with UT Southwestern. This affiliation means your baby has access to some of the world’s top pediatric doctors, in many different specialties—both medical and surgical—as well as the most advanced treatments.
Help for every condition
From abdominal masses to craniofacial differences, we treat a wide range of pediatric conditions. Whether your baby’s health issue is common or rare, the FETAL team will create a personalized care plan that delivers the best opportunity for a healthy outcome.
We know families have many questions. That’s why we explain your baby’s condition and treatment plan in detail and take time to answer any and every question—whether it’s about what to expect in the delivery room, or about when you can hold your baby after birth.
Follow-up care
After your baby is born, we’ll coordinate any follow-up care they need in the hospital. Our Thrive Program delivers specialized outpatient care once you go home.
