Amazing work from our Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist team! This FOX 10 Phoenix story highlights the incredible high-risk pregnancy care at Valley Perinatal Services.

Our patient, Bendu Kiazolu, who had already endured five devastating pregnancy losses, was diagnosed with a rare condition where her immune system was attacking the fetus.

Dr. Ravindu Gunatilake (Dr. G) and the Abrazo Arrowhead NICU team developed a unique and personalized treatment plan to save the pregnancy.

Congratulations to the Kiazolu family on the birth of their healthy baby boy, Benzi, and kudos to Dr. G for this fantastic example of medical dedication and expertise.
