About
Dr. Justin Thompson is a board-certified OB-GYN who trained at Stanford Hospital, where he completed his residency and later practiced before founding Dedicated Pregnancy Care in 2014. He grew up outside Philadelphia as the oldest of three boys, spending his childhood on outdoor adventures and competitive sports. That drive extended to elite athletics: he earned a spot on the US National Cycling Team and represented the country in international competition.
His path to obstetrics began during medical school, when a gifted Gynecologic Oncologist sparked his interest in women's health. That physician saved the lives of many patients, including Dr. Thompson's own grandmother, a uterine cancer survivor. During his Stanford residency, Dr. Thompson discovered a deep passion for guiding families through pregnancy and birth. Since 2014, he has delivered thousands of Bay Area babies. He focuses exclusively on obstetric and pregnancy care, with particular expertise in high-risk pregnancies, IVF pregnancies, and multiple births. He approaches each patient with shared decision-making, thorough explanations, and 24/7 direct availability via his personal cell phone.
