The Placenta Accreta clinic at Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences EVMS Medical Group at Old Dominion University is dedicated to providing specialized care for women with Placenta Accreta spectrum disorders. Since 2019, we have treated over 100 patients.

Placenta Accreta is a condition that occurs during pregnancy when the placenta attaches more deeply into the uterine wall than usual. This can lead to challenges during delivery, but with proper monitoring and care, many women can have a healthy pregnancy experience.

Our clinic takes a safe, effective, and compassionate approach to that care through a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach. 

We strive to be a leader in the field, combining clinical expertise, innovative treatments, and state-of-the-art technology to manage this complex condition.

Our approach

Our team includes maternal-fetal medicine specialists, interventional radiologists, anesthesiologists, neonatologists, and specialized nursing staff.

Focusing on the highest standards of care and safety, they work together to create individualized care plans tailored to each patient's unique needs.
