Sites of service
Pregnant women may be referred by their treating physician or may refer themselves with a single phone call to the program coordinator, Dr. Christopher Talbot, at 773.975.8782. He will obtain the clinical information from the patient and her physicians, and confer with the medical directors of the program to determine the appropriate specialties for consultation. The coordinator will then arrange the consultations and collect laboratory and medical records from doctors who have useful information about the issues facing the pregnancy. Consultations are usually conducted in person but occasionally may be held over the phone under special circumstances. The coordinator is available to assist the patient in all aspects of the consultation process.
Consultation services by some of the physicians involved may also be available at Children's Memorial's outpatient satellite offices in the Chicago area. Check with the coordinator for details.
