Q&A

I love seeing all of the babies we have helped to bring into this world and their happy parents whose lives have been enriched by our efforts.

High success rates even with very challenging circumstances.

Family has always been the most important part of my life. I wanted to be able to assist others who were having difficulty adding to their family so that they too could share in this wonderful experience.

I am particularly interested in PCOS because it is a fascinating condition that is very common and often a challenge to treat effectively. I am also very interested in assisted reproduction such as IVF because of the dramatic advances that take place on a regular basis in this technique. There is a vast array of options for people to become pregnant and have a child.  The advances in this area have been dramatic in a very short time frame.

I want the people I work with to feel that they have been cared for and treated with compassion and respect regardless of the outcome.

I used to be a gymnast, but I wasn’t very good.

Reading, fixing things, traveling, gardening and hiking.
