From the very beginning of pregnancy through labor and delivery, New Jersey Perinatal Associates (NJPA) provides high-risk pregnancy care for women and families throughout New Jersey. “Our goal is to guide every patient safely through pregnancy, no matter how complex,” says Edward J. Wolf, MD. The team of maternal-fetal medicine specialists combines compassionate, patient-centered care with industry-leading diagnostic technology to ensure the best possible outcomes for mothers and babies. Their commitment extends beyond medical expertise offering reassurance, education and support every step of the way.

At NJPA, pregnancy care focuses on three areas: ensuring the baby’s well-being, optimizing outcomes when the mother has a medical condition such as high blood pressure, diabetes or lupus, and providing specialized attention for complications like preeclampsia. “We work closely with each patient’s OB/GYN because a patient shouldn’t have to be the messenger between specialists,” notes Margaret Dziadosz, MD. “It is essential that everyone involved is well informed and the patient never feels alone in her care.”

The practice is distinguished by its hands-on practical approach. “We’re not just reading radiology reports,” explains Kathy C. Matthews, MD. “We’re directly involved in seeing every patient, reviewing ultrasounds and adjusting the plan in real time.” Richard C. Miller, MD adds, “We rely on evidence-based medicine to determine the safest and most effective path for every pregnancy.”

“Advances in perinatal medicine allow us to identify and manage complications before they become critical,” says Linda Pelaez, MD. With one of the largest multidisciplinary counseling teams in the state, the perinatologists work closely with perinatal nurses, genetic counselors and expert ultrasound sonographers. “Our philosophy is collaboration between the patient, her OB/GYN and our team in support of coordinated decision making and a unified approach to managing each patient’s maternal and fetal health,” says Leon G. Smith, Jr., MD. “That partnership is what ensures healthy mothers and healthy babies.”
