Highlights
Meet Bridget Donovan, MD
My name is Bridget Donovan, and I am a maternal fetal medicine specialist here at UVA Health. I am a maternal fetal medicine specialist, which means that I take care of moms and patients in their pregnancies when there are complications, either from mom standpoint, such as chronic issues or things that come up during the pregnancy, or from the fetal side if things are diagnosed prior to delivery. I am professionally passionate about meeting patients where they are, knowing that people come from all different walks of life, all different backgrounds, all different exposures, ideologies, belief systems. And I respect and honor all of those and want to make sure that as patients go through their pregnancy, they know that I'm not a one-size-fits-all provider. That I want to make sure that their concerns, their wishes, their preferences allows them to feel as seen, and heard and safe as possible. Growing up, my mom said that there are providers who have bedside manner and there are providers who have clinical expertise. And I think there are providers who have both, and they're rare. But I think one of the reasons to be seen at UVA Health is because it has many providers who offer both of those things.
