Pregnancy Care

Obstetrics is derived from the Latin obstare, which means to stand by. We know that your pregnancy is a pivotally important and meaningful stage in your life, and as obstetricians, our primary role is to stand by you throughout this time. As your providers, we are committed to offering the most advanced and compassionate obstetric care, from your first visit through to delivery and beyond. All of our physicians are deeply experienced in both routine and high-risk prenatal care and delivery services.

Ruch Clinic is a group practice and although you may prefer to have one physician primarily responsible for your pregnancy care, we do suggest that you rotate appointments with all of the physicians in the group. This is for your benefit, so that you get to know each physician prior to labor. Ruch Clinic mothers deliver at both Baptist Memorial Women’s Hospital and Methodist Hospital Germantown.
