Dr. Bienstock’s clinical work focuses on the management of women with high-risk pregnancies. Her work gained national recognition when she cared for the first reported long-term survivor of fetal bilateral renal agenesis treated with serial amnioinfusion, who has since successfully undergone renal transplantation. This work changed the treatment options offered to families facing this previously uniformly fatal fetal diagnosis.
