About Me

Maternal-fetal medicine doctors help expecting moms have a safer and healthier pregnancy when maternal or fetal health concerns are present. Some of the health concerns that might spur a referral to maternal-fetal medicine services:

  • Prior history of difficult pregnancies
  • High blood pressure or diabetes in mothers
  • Critically ill mothers
  • Fetuses with genetic or physical abnormalities

For high-risk pregnancy care, trust the compassionate expertise of Frederico Rocha, MD, at Avera Medical Group Maternal Fetal Medicine Sioux Falls in Sioux Falls, SD.

“Many times patients come in feeling anxious,” said Dr. Rocha. “When I’m able to give them great news or treat their concern effectively, that’s the best feeling.”

Active Lifestyle

Dr. Rocha likes spending time with his wife and boys, especially the opportunities to travel together and explore new cultures. He also enjoys perfecting his culinary skills in the kitchen and on the grill, and playing sports — particularly soccer — with his sons.

Dr. Rocha is fluent in Portuguese.
