Dr. Larry Rand uses his special training and experience with high-risk pregnancies to care for women with fetal complications. Dr. Rand was a medical/cultural anthropologist and studied biochemistry before entering the field of medicine. He travels to West Africa several times a year to perform surgery and provide high risk obstetric care to patients with limited access. In addition to counseling our patients in the fetal treatment center, Dr. Rand also performs high-level obstetric ultrasound at UCSF and in UCSF satellite centers in surrounding communities, and specializes in chorionic villus sampling (CVS), amniocentesis, and multi-fetal pregnancy fetal reduction. Dr. Rand attends patients on Labor and Delivery, and has a special interest in medical education and quality improvement.
