Diagnosis and TreatmentOur patients have a variety of reasons for meeting with a reproductive endocrinologist! To best understand your concerns and goals, we begin our relationship with you with a consultation. This initial consultation can be in-office or virtually, and will be time spent discussing your medical history and your goals for the future.
After the initial consultation, with a clear understanding of your goals for building a family, we then begin the comprehensive medical evaluation and diagnostic testing to better understand your health so we can design a treatment plan for your individual needs. And once all of the diagnostic testing is complete, we'll sit together and review your options to begin treatment when you're ready.

The good news is most patients will get pregnant, and most will not need to undergo IVF to achieve pregnancy.

Ovulation Induction

Ovulation induction is a technique that uses fertility medications to stimulate the release of one or more eggs from the ovary. Inducing the release of more than one egg can significantly increase the per cycle chance of pregnancy. Learn more...

IUI (intrauterine insemination)
IUI is a fertility treatment that uses a catheter to place a large number of washed sperm directly into the uterus. The goal of IUI is to increase the number of sperm that reach the fallopian tubes and subsequently increase the chance of fertilization. IUI provides the sperm an advantage by giving them a head start to seeking out the egg on their journey to fertilizing the egg. Learn more...
