Susan M. Lanni , MD

Dr. Lanni"The Women’s Health ultrasound unit in the Nelson clinic is peerless! We have the ability to provide both genetic services and antenatal fetal surveillance services on an immediate basis, if needed. Our sonographers have a wealth of experience in both obstetric and gynecologic ultrasound, and they bring this to the table. The medical community at MCV is very completely staffed, and our prenatal OB patients appreciate the proximity of the specialists that they or their babies may need."

A product of the northern Mid-Atlantic region for her education, Dr. Lanni earned her undergraduate degree in Biology from St. Bonaventure University and her doctor of medicine degree from UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School. Her post-graduate OBGYN education was at Penn State University, and fellowship at the prestigious Women and Infants Hospital of Brown University in Rhode Island. Currently, she is board certified in both OBGYN and the subspecialty of Maternal Fetal Medicine. She has coauthored a chapter on “Malpresentations” in a major obstetric textbook, and has presented her research numerous times at the Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine, an international organization of high risk obstetricians.  She has called Richmond her home since 1998, and has professional interests in prenatal diagnosis with ultrasound, diabetes in pregnancy, red blood cell alloimmunization, and graduate medical education.  She is currently certified to provide ultrasound based first trimester aneuploidy evaluation with nuchal translucency measurement.
