Dr. Shai Pri-Paz is board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Maternal-Fetal Medicine. He has special interests in pregnancies complicated by multiple gestations, fetal anomalies, abnormal placentation, cervical insufficiency, IVF pregnancies, and maternal medical conditions.

Dr. Pri-Paz graduated from the Sackler School of Medicine in Israel.
