CVS

Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a prenatal diagnostic procedure that may be performed to diagnose genetic or chromosomal disorders. A safe and reliable technique, CVS is generally performed between weeks 10 and 13 of your pregnancy.

When CVS testing is called for, our expert medical team takes a small sample of tissue from the placenta by transcervical or transabdominal methods under ultrasound guidance.

 

I was referred to Perinatal Associates due to Advanced Maternal Age so my first initial appointment was pretty lengthy having met with a Genetic Counselor and then the ultrasound and consult w/ a doctor to follow. I learned things I wasn’t even aware of and may seem scary to some people, but I found that the information given was very helpful for future planning. The Providers and staff were very knowledgeable, kind, understanding and caring! I’m grateful that I didn’t have any real complications other than my age, but if I did I am confident that Perinatal Associates would have held my hand and yours should you need it through any uncertainties, time of need and/ or difficulties. The entire staff is amazing from the Front office all the way up to the Providers.

Carolina, Confident
