The desire to have a child is deeply personal, and so is infertility. Getting pregnant is a natural function. And when it doesn't happen as planned, we understand the frustration. When pregnancy occurs but ends with miscarriage, we understand the heartbreak.

Our fertility team specializes in the evaluation and treatment of all types of reproductive problems, such as:
Evaluation of female patients. You and your fertility specialist will thoroughly review your medical history. We understand that discussing past attempts at childbirth can be difficult, especially with a new doctor. But we will try to make all of your visits both pleasant and productive. Depending on your history, common tests and procedures include ultrasound, hysterosalpingogram (an X-ray of your fallopian tubes and uterus) and hormone testing, as well as assessing your overall health in preparation for pregnancy.
Evaluation of male patients. Evaluation of the male partner is essential for couples who are having difficulty getting pregnant. Many fertility problems can be related to the man's sperm quality. When a couple comes in for evaluation, the male partner can expect to be asked for a complete medical history and a semen analysis may be requested. One or more semen samples may be needed to evaluate a man's fertility. We now have our own dedicated Sperm Lab and a comfortable, private room next to the lab for our male patients to collect sperm samples for semen analysis or insemination.
Some causes of infertility can be corrected by hormone therapy and lifestyle changes. Other causes—such as uterine fibroids—may require surgery.

Our medical director, Bryan Hecht, MD, has more than 25 years of experience treating female and male infertility, pregnancy loss issues, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis and other menstrual and reproductive disorders. Dr. Hecht's philosophy is to help you achieve a pregnancy as safely, quickly and inexpensively as possible.
He is joined by an equally experienced nurse and laboratory specialist who help provide compassionate care, focused on your needs. Our nursing team has Spanish-language capability.
Your insurance plan may cover none, some, or all the cost of your infertility treatment. But the statements from your insurance plan and the bills you receive for your portion of the expense can be difficult to understand.
If you're wondering about your insurance coverage for fertility testing and treatment, we can help. Our team can work with you to provide preauthorization paperwork, and we can address problems with insurance claims that occur after submission.
