There are few times in a woman's life more exciting than pregnancy. However, it can also be a difficult and challenging time for a woman and her family. At the Woman's Health Care Center, Dr. Brown and his staff will provide prenatal care in a comforting atmosphere to guide you through this exciting time. Dr. Brown provides delivery services for his patients at North Shore-LIJ Huntington Hospital. High risk care is available as needed in collaboration with various perinatal specialists. Dr. Brown is usually personally available to manage and coordinate care and, in collaboration with the hospital coverage group, there is ALWAYS another qualified obstetrician available for assistance and consultation as needed.

A Word About Genetic Testing
Genetic diagnosis and management is one of the most rapidly developing areas of obstetrics. It is now possible to readily test for more than 160 significant genetic diseases involving more than 500 specific mutations, and, if a couple is found to be at risk, steps can be taken to avert a tragedy. The Women's Health Care Center is pleased to be able to offer this testing and provide guidance if tests are positive. For more information please watch this introductory video, and for additional information on a specific disease, a comprehensive video library is available.
