Dr Goldstein is one of the most highly regarded individuals in the field of gynecologic ultrasound.
Doctor Goldstein is in practice for over 25 years He uses painless, non-invasive Transvaginal Ultrasounds to monitor pregnancies. Early pregnancy follows very classic milestones of development and by following a pregnancy with Transvaginal Ultrasound a physician can tell if a pregnancy is meeting its milestones. Miscarriages usually take place one to four weeks after the pregnancy loses its viability.
So for instance if a woman had a miscarriage in week nine, she could not have had a normal eight week six day ultrasound the day before she miscarried. By seeing patients very early in their pregnancy and following them at regular intervals with ultrasound, it is easy to see if the pregnancy is meeting its milestones.

Emergency Room. In addition this provides the opportunity to examine the pregnancy tissue to see if there are any abnormalities of the chromosomes which will explain why the pregnancy failed and possibly prevent recurrent miscarriages.
