About

Avish Arora, MD, PhD, is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and maternal-fetal medicine specialist who cares for patients experiencing high-risk pregnancies. My clinical interests include preeclampsia and hypertension, gestational diabetes, maternal cardiac disease, autoimmune conditions, multifetal gestations, and placenta accreta spectrum. I believe patients deserve clear information, thoughtful guidance, and a care plan shaped around their individual needs and priorities.

I am also a physician-scientist with an MD and PhD from Albert Einstein College of Medicine. My research focuses on using artificial intelligence, digital health, and remote monitoring to make high-risk pregnancy care more personalized and accessible. I aim to combine evidence-based medicine with compassionate communication so patients feel informed, supported, and actively involved in their care.
