Mercy Clinic OB/GYNs provide the best obstetrical care available for expectant moms in the St. Louis area, and gynecological care for women of all ages and at all stages of life.
Mercy Clinic OB/GYNs practice throughout the St. Louis region—central, south and north St. Louis County, plus St. Charles County. In addition to women in their child-bearing years, Mercy Clinic OB/GYN physicians care for adolescents, as well as women going through menopause. They also offer Catholic-sponsored fertility services.
Mercy Clinic OBs are experts in providing care for moms with high-risk pregnancies; moms with normal pregnancies; and moms who seek low-intervention, natural childbirth. Many Mercy Clinic OB/GYNs are board-certified and fellowship-trained physicians with special areas of interest, including minimally invasive gynecology for benign gynecologic problems such as heavy periods or fibroid tumors. Mercy Clinic OB/GYNs also are specially trained in the treatment of urology and gynecologic cancers.
All Mercy Clinic OB/GYN and Women’s Health offices have been certified by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists through the Safety Certification in Outpatient Excellence (SCOPE) for Women’s Health program. SCOPE is the first women’s health-focused safety certification program for medical care delivered through a practice setting. It is a voluntary program.
Mercy Clinic physicians actively participate in speaker programs, social media and blogs about what to expect during pregnancy, whether routine or high-risk, as well as gynecologic topics of interest. Mercy’s educational programs help the entire family prepare for their new baby, with classes for moms, dads, siblings and grandparents. For more information, go to mercy.net.
Mercy Hospital St. Louis delivers more than 9,000 babies each year, with two floors of redesigned and updated labor and birth suites and C-section operating rooms. After delivery, moms and dads experience large, comfortable private rooms to welcome their little ones and family members who want to visit. If a baby is born prematurely, he or she is cared for in the Emerson Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Mercy Children’s Hospital—the largest in the state. NICU families have a private room designed to help babies grow, with space for parents to remain nearby, day or night.
