About Atlanta Perinatal Associates

What is Maternal-Fetal Medicine?

Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) is a sub-specialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology dealing with all matters that can affect the health of a mother or fetus from before conception to the postpartum period. Physicians who practice Maternal Fetal Medicine are obstetrician/gynecologists who have received additional training, and performed research in the care and management of pregnant women and fetuses.

We are professionally and personally committed to providing quality care to our patients. Drs. Dexter Page, Chukwuma Onyeije, Robert Jacobson, Alan Neuman and PA-C Shandareda Melvin specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of pregnancy complications such as: hypertension, diabetes, HIV in pregnancy, multiple gestations, and recurrent pregnancy loss. We feel that it is important that every patient understand her medical condition which enables her to take an active role in treatment. Our practice offers diversity in language translation through Language Link Line. Brochures on various conditions and proposed management are also available for patient education.
