Summary
- I am very pleased to be part of the Yale Fertility Center. I look forward to providing the best clinical experience for each of my patients while utilizing one of the most advanced reproductive facilities in the U.S. My approach is to provide the most compassionate and contemporary infertility services available to meet the individual needs and personal values of my patients. Areas of special clinical interest include optimizing age-related infertility, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, male factor infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, polycystic ovarian syndrome and fertility preservation.
My research includes the mechanisms of reproductive aging. This work has led to a simple blood test, antimullerian hormone (AMH), used worldwide today that helps determine the health of a woman’s ovaries, a rough estimate of her egg count and real time assessment of her biological clock.
