What’s Family Medicine with OB?

Family medicine with OB (obstetrics) doctors provide comprehensive health care to people of all ages. They also care for women during pregnancy, and in some cases, deliver babies.  

After your baby’s birth, your doctor can continue to care for you, your new baby, and other family members throughout your lives. Learn more about pregnancy and birth care at Essentia.
