Steven J. Thomas, MD
SUBSPECIALIST IN MATERNAL- FETAL MEDICINE
“Welcoming a child into the world is a fairly awe-inspiring thing... and it’s both a wonderful and important time for any family. As the son of an obstetrician, I’ve had lifelong exposure to pregnancy and childbirth, and it was a major influence in my choice to become a doctor and, later, to specialize in the care of high-risk pregnancies. Today, as an experienced maternal-fetal medicine physician, I still find it a unique and special privilege to be involved in such a personal part of people’s lives.
“What I hope to give my patients and their families is the compassion they deserve, the highest standard of care and, ultimately, the best possible outcome for each woman’s pregnancy. I strive for these each and every day... and in a manner that is both professional and warm, caring and personal. I enjoy the challenges this specialty presents, as it demands my best... in medical know-how, in clinical skill and in interaction with patients and their doctors. But I most enjoy having a positive impact in the miracle of childbirth and in people’s lives.”
