About Dr. Raghav Arora
Dr. Raghav Balwinder Arora is a highly accomplished and exceptionally trained Fetal Medicine Specialist operating at the absolute forefront of prenatal diagnostics, high-resolution embryological imaging, and minimally invasive fetal therapies.
His extensive academic foundation began at the prestigious Seth G.S. Medical College and K.E.M. Hospital, Mumbai, followed by a rigorous dual post-graduate degree (MS and DNB) in Obstetrics and Gynecology from B.J. Government Medical College & Sassoon General Hospital, Pune.
To specialize in treating the unborn patient, Dr. Arora completed a rigorous 3-year Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Fetal Medicine (PDFFM) at the globally renowned MediScan Systems, Chennai.
Dr. Arora's sub-specialty expertise handles complex physiological and structural fetal conditions. He is internationally credentialed by the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF), UK, for execution across first-trimester genetic screening, advanced fetal echocardiography, and detailed fetal neurosonography.
Beyond definitive diagnostics, Dr. Arora is one of a select group of sub-specialists trained to deliver micro-invasive therapeutic intrauterine interventions—such as fetoscopic laser photocoagulation, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and in-utero transfusions—effectively saving fragile lives before birth.
