Neonatologists
If your newborn needs medical care he may be treated by one of Stamford Hospital's neonatologists. Since newborn babies are not just small adults, a medical problem can mean a special challenge. Neonatologists have the special training required to evaluate and treat newborns' medical problems. In addition, neonatologists use equipment that is designed specifically for the tiniest patients.
Neonatologists can:
- Diagnose and treat newborns with conditions such as breathing disorders, infections, and birth defects.
- Coordinate care and medically manage newborns born premature, critically ill, or in need of surgery.
- Ensure that critically ill newborns receive the proper nutrition for healing and growth.
- Provide care to the newborn at a cesarean or other delivery that requires medical intervention in the delivery room.
- Stabilize and treat newborns with any lifethreatening medical problems.
Our neonatologists work mainly in our Level IIIa NICU facility (able to care for babies as young as 25 weeks), providing warm, compassionate, family-centered care not only to the babies but also their families.
