   Dr Rebarber is board certified, and the director of Maternal Fetal
medicine at New York University School of Medicine. While even the
director of a department at a medical school may have had some
complaints, this is a pretty good sign that many professionals thought
enough of Dr. Rebarber?s experience, knowledge, and credentials to
have him run this department.

?"Other symptoms can include a rapid swelling, usually of the hands,
feet and face, as well as protein in the urine, which, together with a
rise in blood pressure, can mean a pregnancy is in trouble," says Dr.
Andrei Rebarber, director of Maternal Fetal medicine at New York
University School of Medicine.?
