Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility
Our Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility Division specializes in aiding patients facing challenges with their reproductive abilities. We are committed to diagnosing conditions and guiding each patient through the available treatment options to help them realize their dreams of starting or expanding their family.
We focus on diagnosing and managing endocrine disorders and other chronic conditions that hinder conception or the maintenance of pregnancy. Additionally, we assist patients in preserving their fertility before undergoing cancer treatments. Our expertise extends to supporting individuals without partners, same-sex couples, and transgender individuals in overcoming barriers to parenthood.

Our clinicians have contributed to over 1,000 scientific publications, significantly advancing the field. They have also authored the seminal reference book Speroff's Clinical Gynecologic Endocrinology and Infertility, which guides clinicians in providing comprehensive care to patients with infertility and reproductive disorders.
With decades of experience treating patients and helping them achieve pregnancy, our clinicians are also dedicated to advancing research in their specialized areas. Their findings have led to the development of new diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, and innovative technologies, shaping and advancing the field of assisted reproductive technology. As research is integral to our practice, patients can access clinical trials conducted at our facility.
Recognizing the emotional complexities associated with infertility, our clinicians offer empathy, support, and a celebration of successes, guiding patients through their challenges. Financial coordinators are available to clarify health insurance eligibility and costs, ensuring transparency and minimizing unexpected fees.
