Dr. Dale Carroll is the only specialist in OB/GYN and Travelers' Health in the U.S. to my knowledge and represents the highest quality of medical information for this high-risk travel population.
Professor, Infectious Diseases and International Medicine, University of Minnesota -
In preparation for a business trip to India, I reached out to Dr. Carroll to understand any precautions, given I was trying to become pregnant, or in the event I was pregnant at the time of the trip. I was very appreciative of the quick response that I received given I had to make the decision of whether or not to go on the trip relatively quickly. The consultation was very thorough and included preparation considerations including recommended vaccinations (and where in my local area I could receive vaccinations); security, safety, diseases and other issues to be aware of while in India; and also other matters when I return home. I was able to make a well-informed decision based on my consultation. Thank you, Dr. Carroll!

STILL TRAVELING WHILE PREGNANT?
If you are pregnant and traveling, or pregnant and an expatriate, or even planning a pregnancy and wondering about travel we offer personalized advice regarding your travel and your pregnancy. The reason that we cover so many topics in our consultations is that each situation is different.
Even visitors to the same destination do not all need the same advice. What we advise you will also depend on your personal medical history, the specific locations you will be visiting and the activities that you plan to participate in.
In many cases we can recommend minor adjustments to you itinerary or activities where your obstetrical provider may otherwise simply tell you to abandon the trip.
