Patient Care

The Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology offers a full range of services related to pregnancy and other areas of women's health, including child health, family planning, gynecologic surgery, and breast and cervical cancer screening. In 2012, the department completed a full renovation of the Labor & Delivery area, which now includes 35,000 square feet of state-of-the-art patient rooms, nurseries, operating rooms, nursing work areas, and offices. Our doctors, nurses, midwives, and staff provide care to women at more than 40 sites in Galveston, on the mainland Gulf Coast, and in communities spread across the eastern part of Texas from McAllen to Nacogdoches.

In addition to general obstetrics and gynecology, UTMB provides a number of specialty patient services:

• Our Maternal and Fetal Medicine division is recognized nationally as a top provider for women with high-risk pregnancies and prenatal diagnoses.
• The Pelvic Health & Continence Center provides specialty multidisciplinary care focused on diagnosing and treating pelvic floor disorders in both women and men.
• We offer access to subspecialists in the fields of Gynecologic Oncology, Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Pediatric/Adolescent Gynecology and Certified Nurse-Midwifery.
• Our Gynecology Division’s robotic surgery program has been recognized and certified as a Center of Excellence by the AAGL.
