Dr. Kallen was amazing. She spent a long time with me answering questions and explaining upcoming processes. She was incredibly patient and knowledgeable.
Fertility Treatment Services
A fertility consultation is the first step in fertility care. It allows us to gather the information we need to design a personalized treatment plan.
We can use medications to stimulate egg production by your ovaries and improve fertility. In some cases, oral medication may be the only treatment you need.
We treat conditions that cause infertility, such as endometriosis, uterine scarring, fibroids and ovarian cysts, with minimally invasive surgery whenever appropriate.
In IUI, we place sperm from your partner or a donor into your uterus. You may also receive fertility medications to help you conceive.
IVF is an advanced procedure in which our specialists collect your eggs, fertilize them in a laboratory, then place an embryo into your uterus.
Egg donation is an option if you can carry a pregnancy but cannot produce eggs or do not want to use your own eggs.
We can help you obtain sperm from known donors and sperm banks for use in IUI and IVF.
Male infertility is the inability to conceive a child after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse. Other signs might include problems with sexual function, pain or swelling in the testicle area, and hormonal imbalances.
Treatment provided by our Urology team may include hormone therapy, medications, surgery and reproductive technologies.
A vasectomy is a form of male birth control that cuts the supply of sperm to your semen.
Fertility preservation involves freezing eggs or sperm so you can have a biological child in the future. It is an option if your fertility is at risk due to:
- Cancer treatment: Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy can affect your fertility.
- Medical conditions: Many medical conditions or their treatment can impair fertility.
- Delayed reproduction: Female fertility declines with age, impacting your ability to become pregnant.
- Transgender care: Gender transition may impact your ability to produce sperm or eggs.
