Expertise, technology and support: for world-class results with your well-being in mind.

Expertise...

Heading up our world-class team is IVF medical director Dr. Feinberg, who has been immersed in the clinical and scientific world of IVF for two decades. When he joined Dr. McGuirk at Reproductive Associates in 1997, our doctors made a commitment to create a highly ethical and effective IVF program, with a professional team of people to match. Senior embryologist and lab manager Marc Portmann also joined in 1997. Soon after, Dr. Michael Tucker, one of the world’s leading IVF scientists, started working with Reproductive Associates as IVF Scientific Director.

About success rates:

A note about success rates, since you’ll naturally want to know our IVF track record.  In a word, it is exemplary. Year after year, we have reported outstanding success rates in published format to the CDC (available on-line) and have achieved amongst the top rates in the U.S.

However, our personalized approach to care means that we can’t determine your specific chance for success until we evaluate you closely and determine what roadblocks might be preventing you from getting pregnant.
