Las Vegas, NV - Laura A. Gorski, DO, is being recognized by
Continental Who's Who as a Distinguished Maternal-Fetal Medicine Physician for
her work in the Medical field and in acknowledgment of her work at the
High-Risk Pregnancy Center in Las Vegas, NV.
Dr. Gorski is a respected Maternal-Fetal Medicine Physician
with many years of experience in her specialized field. She is passionate about
her work, saying, "I chose to become an OB/GYN because I was fascinated
with the miracle of life, particularly birth. I decided to further specialize
in Maternal-Fetal medicine, because it allows me to use my advanced skills and
leading-edge technology to help women with elevated risks have the healthiest
pregnancy outcome possible. I enjoy the personal side of this subspecialty too.
Building relationships with my patients, their families, and their
obstetricians is essential to the care I provide, and it's a part of my job
that I love."
She first completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at John Carroll
University in Cleveland, OH. She then earned a Doctor of Osteopathy degree,
graduating Magna Cum Laude in 1994 at the Kansas City Osteopathic School of

Gynecology and the sub-specialty of Maternal-Fetal medicine by the American
