Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) is a subspecialty of obstetrics and gynecology that focuses on managing health concerns of the mother and fetus prior to, during, and shortly after pregnancy. MFMs are physicians who subspecialize in high risk pregnancies, taking care of pregnant women with chronic health problems or known fetal complications during their pregnancy. MFM specialists work to keep maternal-fetal dyads as healthy as possible during the pregnancy. They also care for women who face unexpected problems that develop during pregnancy such as early labor, bleeding or high blood pressure.

As a testament to her success, Dr. Burnett has been the recipient of the Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2018, 2017, 2016), Patients’ Choice Award (2018, 2017), and On-Time Doctor Award (2018, 2017).
