Services
In Vitro Fertilization
Our IVF program utilizes advanced laboratory techniques to fertilize eggs outside the body. This multi-step process includes ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, laboratory fertilization, and embryo transfer. With over 45 years of experience, we've achieved exceptional success rates while implementing the latest innovations like preimplantation genetic testing. Our specialists develop personalized protocols to optimize outcomes for patients facing various fertility challenges.
Intrauterine Insemination
IUI treatment involves placing concentrated sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation. This procedure enhances fertilization chances by increasing sperm's access to the fallopian tubes. We combine this with ovulation monitoring and may use fertility medications to improve success rates. Our team provides comprehensive guidance throughout the process, making this less invasive option accessible for couples with specific fertility concerns.
Fertility Preservation
Our cryopreservation services allow individuals to preserve reproductive potential through egg, sperm, or embryo freezing. Using vitrification technology, we maintain specimen viability for future use. This option benefits cancer patients facing fertility-threatening treatments, individuals delaying parenthood, and LGBTQ+ individuals building families. Our secure storage facilities maintain strict monitoring protocols to ensure specimen safety and viability over time.
Male Infertility Treatments
We address male factor infertility through comprehensive diagnostic testing and targeted treatments. Services include semen analysis, hormone testing, and specialized procedures for obstructive or non-obstructive infertility causes. Our specialists collaborate with urologists to develop treatment plans that may include surgical sperm retrieval or intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) as part of IVF cycles to maximize success potential for couples facing male fertility challenges.
LGBTQ+ Family Building
We provide inclusive fertility care for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples through donor insemination, reciprocal IVF, and gestational carrier arrangements. Our team coordinates third-party reproduction services while addressing legal and social considerations specific to LGBTQ+ family building. We offer cryopreservation options for those undergoing gender-affirming care and provide comprehensive infectious disease screening for all participants in the reproductive process.
