Our Advanced Fertility Treatments & Services

Every fertility journey is unique. Our fertility specialists work with you to develop a comprehensive treatment plan based on your medical history, goals, and the most effective options available. 

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

Because of its proven efficacy, IVF is one of the most widely used fertility treatments, especially for those who have been struggling to conceive. During IVF, mature eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized in a laboratory with sperm. The resulting embryos are then carefully monitored and, when ready, transferred into the uterus for hopeful implantation. 

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

IUI is a less invasive procedure that can help increase the chances of conception. During IUI, sperm that has been scientifically cleaned by specially trained lab personnel is directly inserted into the uterus around the time of ovulation, improving the chances of sperm reaching the egg for fertilization. 

Egg Freezing & Fertility Preservation

Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, is an option for individuals who want to preserve their eggs for future use. This process involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, which are then retrieved and frozen (cryopreserved) for later use. It is commonly recommended for women who wish to delay childbirth for personal, medical, or professional reasons. Egg freezing offers an opportunity to safeguard fertility, providing greater flexibility in family planning later in life.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)

PGT is an advanced genetic screening technique performed on embryos created through IVF. It helps identify genetic abnormalities in embryos before they are transferred to the uterus. Patients with a history of genetic disorders, advanced maternal age, or recurrent pregnancy loss often use PGT. 

Carrier Screening

Carrier screening is recommended for all couples planning to conceive, particularly if there is a family history of genetic conditions. This test provides important information about the risk of passing on genetic disorders to your children. 

Inclusive Care for All Families
