Prenatal diagnosis uses diagnostic procedures to give a definitive answer when a screening suggests an increased chance of a chromosomal condition. At our practice this includes chorionic villus sampling (CVS), offered at 11 to 13 weeks 6 days, and amniocentesis, offered beyond 15 weeks. When a finding calls for specialized treatment, we coordinate referrals, including to fetal surgeons, and stay involved in your care.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div> When you need more than an estimate<\/b><\/p>\n Screening tests are excellent at flagging when something deserves a closer look. But sometimes you need a definitive answer, not a probability. That’s what prenatal diagnosis provides, and having that clarity is often what allows the right plan to take shape.<\/p>\n The procedures we offer<\/b><\/p>\n Two diagnostic procedures fall under prenatal diagnosis at our practice, each suited to a different point in pregnancy:<\/p>\n Why patients are referred to us<\/b><\/p>\n The most common reason for a prenatal diagnosis referral is chromosome analysis when a screening, such as an ultrasound finding or NIPT, suggests an increased chance of a chromosomal condition.<\/p>\n How we guide families through difficult or uncertain news<\/b><\/p>\n This is where coordinated, specialized care matters most. When a finding can be clarified by a diagnostic test, we offer that test right here at our own center. And when a finding calls for specialized treatment, such as certain conditions that can be addressed before birth through fetal therapy, we refer you to a fetal surgeon and stay involved, collaborating on your care rather than handing it off. You are never sent off on your own to figure out the next step.<\/p>\n Support that extends beyond diagnosis<\/b><\/p>\n Depending on the diagnosis, we connect families with support resources across Miami, both during the pregnancy and for post-delivery care. The goal is that you always know where to turn next.<\/p>\n Together, every step<\/b><\/p>\n A difficult or uncertain diagnosis is one of the hardest moments a family can face. With definitive answers, coordinated specialists, and local support, it’s something we navigate together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
