Why Choose a Fertility Specialist at Vanderbilt
- Expert team
From our nurses and physicians to laboratory staff and beyond, our team members are experts in fertility care. Our physicians are board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology, as well as in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. Our laboratory team is board-certified in embryology, andrology or both subspecialities. This knowledge means you are receiving care from an experienced and knowledgeable team.
- Collaborative care
You will be evaluated and treated by a team of experts. Our team works closely with specialists in nutrition, male infertility, maternal-fetal medicine, surgery and others. This allows you to receive the high-quality care that fits your needs.
- Personalized care
It’s your body, so it is your decision regarding what type of fertility treatment to pursue. We’ll give you information about all your treatment options, so you can decide which are best for you.
- Innovative research and treatment options
Because we are an academic medical center, our researchers constantly work to find new treatments. You may have access to treatments in clinical trial before they are widely available elsewhere, such as home-based hormone testing.
- Responsive team
We want to make your experience as stress-free as possible. You can use our secure online portal, My Health at Vanderbilt, to contact your care team, schedule appointments, manage your medications and access your medical records.
