Local obstetrician, Dr. Sally Grogono, announces the launch of Luxe OB, a concierge obstetrics practice providing in-home care from the beginning of pregnancy through delivery and into postpartum recovery.
In addition to home-based clinical care, including ultrasound testing, Luxe OB patients will receive 24-hour access to Grogono, personalized childbirth classes and lactation consultation services.
A fifth generation physician who has been in private practice for 16 years, Grogono said she wants to return to the kind of patient care that originally inspired her to become a doctor.
“The relationship between an expectant mom and her OB is a special one. I want my patients to have the kind of one-on-one care that has become almost extinct in modern medicine. Patient care is why I got into medicine and I want to focus on that,” she said.
However, Grogono stops short of full obstetric care via house calls, declining to offer home births. “Delivery will occur in the hospital,” she said.
“Hospitals have the technology and proximity to potential life-saving equipment that can’t be offered at home deliveries, but I will deliver the baby rather than the hospital’s on-call doctor, whom the patient often has never met,” she said.
