Ahmet Alexander Baschat, MD

Director of the center for fetal therapy at john hopkins

"In my years of service, I have seen how much The TTTS Foundation has been a help to the families affected by twin to twin transfusion syndrome – including TAPS, SIUGR, and TRAP - both in education, and in encouraging speedy access to life-saving care."

Ahmet Baschat MB BCh, FACOG, is director of the Center for Fetal Therapy and professor in the Johns Hopkins Medicine Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics.  Dr. Baschat received his undergraduate and medical degrees from The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. He earned his doctorate in medicine from the University of Lübeck, where he also completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology. After completing additional residencies at Newton-Wellesley Hospital and at University of Maryland Medical Center, and a fellowship in maternal-fetal medicine at UMMC, he went on to develop its Center for Advanced Fetal Care, and was professor and director of Maternal-Fetal Medicine and the Section of Fetal Therapy at the University of Maryland, before joining Johns Hopkins in 2014.  His areas of clinical expertise include prenatal diagnosis and therapy of a wide range of fetal conditions, including twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) including TAPS, SIUGR and TRAP, as well as other complications of monochorionic twin pregnancies. 

In 2017, we were medivaced out of Germany to Walter Reed to have our surgery with Dr. Bashat and his team at Hopkins when I was 18wks. We were at stage 3 TTTS. Thankfully the surgery went well and I delivered the boys at 31wks 4days. We are forever grateful for Dr. Bashat and his team and the team at Walter Reed and will always keep them dear to our hearts❤ Manage.

At every point, I was 100% confident that if our babies could be saved, this was the team to do it. From the time I was referred to them, they said to bring an overnight bag, because they may do surgery that same day. And that is what happened, because I went from stage 1 TTTS to stage 3 in 3 days. Dr Baschat made me feel comfortable and even during the surgery, I could hear him meticulously analyzing each blood vessel. I knew we were in good hands, and the surgery was a success!

Dr. Baschat (and Dr. Miller) performed our Stage 4 TTTS surgery at 26.3 weeks. He absolutely saved our girls, who were both on the brink of heart failure. He was so kind to me and treated my husband and I like we were old friends. Even pushed me in my wheelchair back to my room after an ultrasound, when most doctors would have never done that! He was extremely knowledgeable which was so reassuring. I am eternally grateful that he told my MFM doctor on the phone that day that he would be willing to look at me and to come quickly (even though I was after 26 weeks gestation) and that he agreed to perform the surgery. I will never forget my week at Johns Hopkins in September 2019.
