Specialist
How do I know if I need to see a Fertility specialist?
Infertility has classically been defined as one year of unprotected intercourse without achieving a pregnancy. Couples should consider a quicker evaluation if there is a known sperm problem, or if the mother is past her mid-thirties. If there is any question on your part as to whether you should be seen, please phone us or send us an e-mail. We would be happy to meet with you for a second opinion, and thoroughly review your old medical records.
How do I choose a doctor to treat us? Why do I need to see a Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility specialist?
Understanding the training and preparation physicians undergo to become Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility (RE-I) Specialists will help you be better prepared to choose. RE-I Specialists have: a) completed 4 years of medical school, b) completed 4 years of general Obstetrics and Gynecology specialty training, and c) completed 2-3 years of fellowship specialty training in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.
Unlike general OB/GYN doctors, RE-I specialists are thoroughly trained in all aspects of reproductive health and they have apprenticed themselves in the art of infertility treatments. In addition to the high-tech assisted reproductive technologies, your RE&I physician can treat a) hormone imbalance as it relates to infertility; b) disorders of the anatomy which may affect fertility, c) disorders of sperm; d) disorders of eggs; and e) disorders of fertilization, implantation, and early pregnancies. The additional specialty training beyond the OB/GYN specialty is invaluable. Choosing a physician that is board certified in OB/GYN and RE&I will significantly increase your chances to become biological parents.
