ABOUT US
This practice is devoted to making sure women with medical complications have safe and healthy pregnancies. Working alongside your obstetrician, midwife or general practitioner, Dr Lowe will oversee a management plan to make sure you are in the best position possible to have a successful pregnancy.
If you already have your own specialist for a pre-existing condition, Dr Lowe will liaise with him or her and ensure continuity of your care during pregnancy. Your usual specialist can resume care after the pregnancy.
