Hey, so GA portrays 'fetal surgeon' like a perinatologist/maternal-fetal surgeon whenever they aren't doing actual fetal surgeries, engaging patients who have high-risk pregnancies. Herman did emergency C-sections without having to do actual fetal surgeries. Arizona delivers babies without having to do without actually having to perform fetal surgery.

When Addison does routine deliveries, than she's an OB, but when she's engaging high-risk pregnancies, than she's acting like a maternal-fetal surgeon whether or not she actual does fetal surgery. Dorie was a high-risk pregnancy. Plus, Addison has never been in-dialogue directly referred to as a perinatologist despite being one (as she completed an MFM fellowship). She has, however, been referred to as fetal surgeon. Hence in Dorie's case, being a high-risk pregnancy, being an OB doesn't necessarily apply - hence fetal surgeon.
