Due to an unfortunate hand injury in 2015, Dr. Matoian is no longer able to perform deliveries.  Because of this, she has made arrangements with several obstetricians who provide coverage and will attend your delivery.  These physicians are all highly recommended by Dr. Matoian and they will make every effort to follow your wishes or birth plan when it’s time for your delivery. You can learn about the covering physicians by visiting their websites:

• Drs. Paluda, Wuckert, McGrail, Pokropek and Bayci (missionobgyn.net)
