Experience means a lot when you’re having a baby, especially when you are concerned that your pregnancy may be high-risk.
New technological advances allow your baby to be independently monitored, measured, evaluated and treated while still in the womb. The Regional Perinatal Center is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to work hand-in-hand with your obstetrician by providing the following services:
- Consultations for high-risk or complicated pregnancies
- Genetic Services
- Amniocentesis
- Targeted ultrasound studies
- Fetal echo studies
- Fetal therapy
- Biophysical profiles
- 4-D Ultrasounds
- Nuchal translucency
- Chorionic villus sampling
If you are concerned that you are high-risk, the following is offered at the time of your consultation:
- Evaluation of your baby’s condition
- Explanation of the identified disorder and discussion of possible therapy
- If intervention is necessary, a review of the risks will be considered and discussed in detail
Jorge D. Blanco, Joseph P. Bruner and Nancy L. Eriksen are board certified Obstetrician/Gynecologists and Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialists with years of experience in all aspects of high-risk pregnancy management and consultative services.
Drs. Blanco, Bruner and Eriksen's experience, expertise and qualified staff combine to provide the necessary care for you and your baby during this very special time.
Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialists are obstetrician/gynecologists who have received two or three years of additional education and practical experience to gain special competence in various obstetrical, medical and surgical complications of pregnancy. Our Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialists are board certified and have special expertise required to provide care to both mother and baby in complicated pregnancies. With knowledge of diagnostic and treatment options for complicated pregnancies, the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialists can evaluate your baby’s health before birth to detect abnormalities.
Drs. Blanco, Bruner and Eriksen are complementary to your obstetricians in providing consultations and co-management of patients with complications both before and during pregnancy.

Genetic Counseling
The Regional Perinatal Center also offers the only certified genetic counselor in the Permian Basin to support expectant women during preconception planning and throughout their pregnancies. Our genetic counselor helps both healthcare providers and patients understand the risks associated with birth defects, ultrasound findings, and other hereditary disorders. During a genetic counseling session, genetic information and testing analysis is personalized through a review of family and medical history and medical information is explained in a manner in which patients can make it meaningful for their lives. Information and support are provided throughout the decision-making, testing and result process.
