An Obstetrician has completed up to twelve years of medical training to become certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He or she provides routine check-ups and prenatal care, and assists in the delivery of the baby. Obstetricians see the delivery of a child as a clinical medical procedure that should be performed in a hospital. Should any complications arise, an Obstetrician can perform a Cesarean section or address any other issues immediately.
A family medicine doctor has earned a medical degree and completed a residency in family practice before becoming certified by the Board of Certification in Family Medicine Obstetrics. He or she provides comprehensive medical care for people of all ages, and will serve as your family’s primary care physician, your Obstetrician, and your baby’s pediatrician.
