Our Services

Obstetrics

Generations offers expectant mothers comprehensive care during pregnancy, labor, delivery and beyond. At your regular prenatal checkups, you’ll receive complete information about pregnancy and childbirth. Our nurses are always available by phone when you have questions between appointments.

3D/4D Ultrasound

Generations ObGyn goes beyond the typical ultrasound. Our offices are among the first in this area to offer three-dimensional (3D) / four-dimensional (4D) real-time ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound allows doctors to see the developing baby in the womb. It is especially useful when the doctor suspects a problem and needs to see specific, high-quality images of the fetus.

With 3D ultrasound, a computer makes numerous images and produces a life-like three-dimensional image. The fourth dimension adds real-time movement, which means that you and your doctor can see the baby as it moves. The movements are saved for you on a VHS tape or a CD.

Most insurance companies do not routinely cover the 3D/4D procedure unless it is medically necessary. Patients who are interested in non-medical imaging should contact our office for more information.

Early Screen® Genetic Screening Test

We are routinely offering Early Screen® for prenatal genetic testing. It includes an ultrasound exam for Nuchal Translucency (pronounced “nukal”) which is performed between 11 – 13 weeks of pregnancy to identify babies who may be at risk of Down syndrome or Trisomy 18. Early Screen is a combination of a blood test (free Beta/PAPP-A) and a special ultrasound exam.

Early Screen can provide valuable information about your pregnancy and screen for chromosomal and fetal abnormalities such as heart defects. The test detects 91% of Down syndrome babies. This test is voluntary. We will discuss the Nuchal Translucency screening test at your first prenatal care visit. At you second visit at 11 -13 weeks, you will see our ultrasound technologist for the test. This test cannot be performed after 13 weeks 6 days of pregnancy. All patients under 35 are eligible for the Early Screen test.

Most insurance companies will pay for this service.

The key to screening is early detection.
