Fertility and Reproductive Health

Recent studies reveal that as many as 15% of couples in the U.S. are considered infertile – that is, they are unable to conceive a child after one year of unprotected intercourse. For these couples, Stanford Medicine’s Fertility and Reproductive Health Services is proud to offer one of the nation’s most comprehensive and progressive treatment programs. By integrating innovative technology into treatment options and offering a wide array of on-site support services, we are able to provide our patients with leading-edge care.

The Stanford Medicine Fertility and Reproductive Health Services team includes some of the country’s leading embryologists, reproductive endocrinologists, clinical nurses and technicians who will work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your emotional and lifestyle needs. Our team of physicians includes American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology certified specialists, research leaders in the field, and faculty members at Stanford School of Medicine – all of whom have extensive clinical experience treating infertility.

As one of the specialty services provided by the Johnson Center for Pregnancy and Newborn Services at Packard Children’s, Fertility and Reproductive Health is instrumental in giving mom and baby the strongest possible start. Packard Children’s is the home of world-class prenatal, obstetric, labor and delivery, and newborn care. With fertility services as part of that continuum of care, patients and families benefit from a smooth transition from fertility care to obstetrics, neonatal and pediatric care.
