The birth of a baby is a time of great anticipation and excitement. Although most pregnancies result in the birth of a healthy baby, approximately 10-15% of newborns have a problem that may require the advice and expertise of a Neonatologist and care in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for special evaluation and treatment.

If your baby is premature, has a serious illness or birth defect, a Neonatologist may assist at the time of delivery and in the subsequent care of your baby. A Neonatologist is a pediatrician trained specifically to handle the most complex high-risk situations as well as low birth weight and premature babies.

Working side by side with our Neonatologists, are our advanced practice registered nurse practitioners (APRN-CNP) who are nationally certified Neonatal Nurse Practitioners (APRN-CNP).

Newborn Specialists of Tulsa Neonatologists work in tandem with obstetricians, pediatric surgeons, developmental/behavioral pediatricians and other pediatric specialists to provide an unbroken chain of care for you and your infant.

We are also a member of the Vermont Oxford Neonatal Network and National Perinatal Information Center – organizations that focus on clinical outcomes, quality improvement and national standards. We participate in several multi-centered national/international clinical trials to evaluate treatments to improve survival and reduce long-term complications in premature children.
