Drs. Polzin and Habli are collaborators with the Fetal Care Center of Cincinnati. Dr. Polzin is the Associate Director. This allows our patients who need fetal therapy to have seamless coordination of their prenatal care at Tri-State Maternal-Fetal Medicine Associates, Inc. and any necessary diagnostic or therapeutic care at the Fetal Care Center. We have an onsite Nurse Coordinator who is the liaison for our patients and personally helps the patients with any necessary details. Depending on what therapy or surgery is necessary, it may be done at Good Samaritan Hospital or Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Drs. Polzin and Habli will be part of our patients’ care team and have privileges at both hospitals.
