About Methodist Physicians Perinatal Associates

Referring physicians and patients across South Texas trust Methodist Healthcare to provide thoughtful care during some of life’s most delicate moments. Our team of board-certified maternal-fetal medicine and clinical genetics specialists brings experience, compassion and a collaborative spirit to every patient visit.

For more than 25 years, our practice has helped families with maternal-fetal medicine and genetics care for high-risk and unique pregnancies. Our team of specialists provides care for patients with chronic health conditions, a history of difficulties in pregnancy, complicated genetic histories or concerns from ultrasounds and screenings.

Our practice works with referring physicians across the San Antonio area for expert care and advanced consultation for complex cases.
