Infertility

Infertility is when a couple has difficulty conceiving after one year of regular, unprotected sex (or six months if the woman is over 35). It can affect men, women, or both, often due to various underlying health conditions, age, or lifestyle factors like diet and stress. While challenging, many effective treatments and support options are available to help individuals and couples achieve pregnancy.

I treat patients as I would expect to be treated. I enjoy explaining conditions and educating the patients and couples I see. Taking time for education makes for more satisfied patients who also have more successful outcomes. I believe strongly that treatment decisions should be guided by discussion between the physician and patient, and any interventions backed by current scientific evidence. Although physicians can make treatment recommendations, patients must be closely involved in the decision-making process. Because insurance plans cover fertility treatment variably, I am mindful of the financial burden infertility can place on a couple. My goal is to help couples conceive in the most natural, cost-effective manner, always keeping in mind their wishes. I am honest, forthright, caring, and advocate for my patients.
