Our Services
Tower Health Medical Group Obstetrics & Gynecology – Exeter offers a complete selection of obstetric and gynecological services. Our practice is comprised of four certified nurse midwives, a women’s health nurse practitioner, and a board-certified obstetrician/gynecologist. One of our midwives is also a lactation consultant and a certified perinatal mental health provider. All of the providers in our office provide both prenatal and gynecologic care; and our midwives and Dr. Cammarano attend births at Reading Hospital.
Working with Reading Hospital midwives ensures we can offer 24/7 midwifery coverage for your birth. The midwifery model of care prioritizes patient autonomy and safe, respectful, trauma-informed care.
