About Me

Maternal fetal medicine is the field that helps women and babies have a safer, healthier and more proactive pregnancy and birth.

If you’re encountering a high-risk pregnancy, Maria Palmquist, MD, is your specialist for compassionate guidance and care. She employs her expertise at Avera Medical Group Maternal Fetal Medicine in Sioux Falls, SD.

“I’m proud to work where there’s a high focus of patient-centric care,” said Dr. Palmquist.

High Quality Services in Maternal Fetal Medicine

To her, the best part of Dr. Palmquist’s job is being there for mom and baby’s health and accomplishing a good outcome.

Some of the health concerns that might require maternal fetal medicine services include:

  • Prior history of difficult pregnancies or congenital conditions
  • High blood pressure or diabetes in mothers
  • Fetuses with genetic or physical conditions
  • History of pre-term births
  • Critically ill mothers
  • Mothers with pre-eclampsia

She collaborates with other pediatric specialists in neonatology, genetic counseling, cardiology and more to ensure you’re receiving the most informed care.

Active Lifestyle

Being in the fresh air fills her cup. Dr. Palmquist enjoys hiking and being among mountains and other nature.
