Expecting a child is one of the most exciting times in your life.  Young, expectant families can have unexpected needs that require immediate attention by maternal and newborn specialists.  It is vital for hospitals to partner with a trusted group to care for their most vulnerable patients.

Millennium Medical Group is a physician-owned medical practice specializing in the care of expectant mothers and  their newborns.  We were founded in 2017 by three neonatologists serving a single hospital’s NICU.  Since then, we have been serving hospitals in multiple states 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our team of board-certified neonatologists, obstetric hospitalists, and pediatric specialists stand by our core ethos – that medicine is not just shiftwork but the delivery of consistent, continuous care for mothers, babies and their families.
