Kerry M. Lewis, MD

As a maternal fetal medicine (MFM) specialist, Dr. Lewis manages the entire range of medium- to high-risk pregnancies, including women who start their pregnancy with health issues such as high blood pressure or advanced maternal age as well as those who develop complications during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes or placenta previa.

Dr. Lewis has more than 20 years of experience practicing as a perinatologist and obstetric doctor and has a special interest in managing complex obstetric conditions such as:

• Cervical insufficiency
• Chronic renal disease
• Diabetes and gestational diabetes
• Fetal anomalies
• Hypertension
• Obesity
• Preeclampsia
• Preterm labor and preterm birth
• Rh disease
• Sickle cell anemia
• Systemic lupus erythematosus

As medical director of University of Maryland Capital Regional Health's OB/GYN, MFM and Women's Health and Specialty programs, Dr. Lewis focuses on presenting his patients with comprehensive options for their delivery, no matter how complicated, and helping a high-risk mother maintain the gestation period as long as is safe for her and her baby. His job is to balance the risk to the mother's health from an extended gestation and the risk to the baby of a premature delivery.
