Overview
"I was born and raised in the southern Philippines. After I married, we moved a lot — from Taiwan to Virginia to New York to Pennsylvania. Some of these moves were for my continuing education and training. They taught me to be adaptable in the rapidly changing world of medicine, where new discoveries can have profound effects on patient care. Sending happy, healthy babies home with their parents is so rewarding. Extremely premature babies stay with us for months, so we often form lasting friendships with their families. Many send cards or come by to """"show off"""" their children as they grow up. It is immensely satisfying to know that I’ve made the world better for a child and a family. I care deeply about providing the best possible outcomes for the most fragile, tiniest babies in the NICU (ICU for newborns). Part of that is finding and implementing better ways to optimally address their medical challenges. This is why I am also passionate about research opportunities in a field so filled with clinical and scientific questions. I like to work with parents and providers to improve developmental care in the neonatal unit. This care optimizes the infant’s long-term neurodevelopment (normal brain and nervous system maturation), both in terms of outcome and the ability to adapt throughout life, and it decreases the negatives of being born prematurely and sick.".

Nemours Children's Hospital, Florida
Dr. Claudia Taboada is a board-certified maternal fetal medicine specialist at Nemours Children’s Hospital. She has been an invited lecturer, an associate professor in maternal fetal medicine and obstetrics/gynecology, and has published medical journal articles in her field. For her work, Dr. Taboada was named a March of Dimes Medical Honoree for 2019. When I was in kindergarten I told my parents I wanted to be a doctor. I remember this was shortly after having to go to the emergency department for an injury on my foot. I was fascinated by the doctors I met and everything that was happening around me. My parents encouraged me to pursue my dream. They encouraged and supported me during all my education. I remember that they brought me groceries in college and medical school. I was very lucky in that aspect. I wanted to pursue pediatric emergency medicine when I started medical school. I believe it was all linked to my childhood experience. However, as I rotated as a third-year medical student, I was drawn to internal medicine with a focus on women's health. Maternal Fetal Medicine allows me to take care of women with high-risk, pre-existing medical conditions during their pregnancies. MFM also allows me to manage high-risk pregnancies, such as multiple gestations or abnormal fetal structural findings on ultrasound. I treat my patients like family. I am honest with them and convey that my role is to make sure they have the best maternal and fetal outcome. I work hard to establish a good relationship with my colleagues to ensure good patient care. I hope that my patients will feel confident that we will provide them with the best care during their pregnancy, forming multidisciplinary teams for their needs — including, as needed, team members from a variety of medical specialties at Nemours, social work and others. I have a special interest in diagnostic testing (amniocentesis and CVS), cerclage placement and preterm labor. And, in a prior position, I started a program for medication-assisted treatment in pregnancy for women with an opioid addiction. I worked closely with the NICU team and the primary OB team. I would like to continue the outreach into my new community here at Nemours. Dr. Taboada is highly rated in 7 conditions, according to our data.
