General Practitioners

• Male Infertility
  Dr. Sweet received his sub-specialty training in Reproductive Endocrinology, Infertility and Genetics at the Medical College of Georgia. During and shortly following his sub-specialty training, Dr. Sweet became published in the areas of transvaginal sonography, recurrent pregnancy loss, male infertility, Embryo transfer techniques, advanced ART laboratory techniques, ambiguous genitalia and molecular genetics.
• Emergency Care
  In the best interest of the patient, narcotics will be prescribed only during regular office visits and will not be prescribed over the phone during evenings, weekends or holidays without an evaluation. Any patient needing narcotics during the off-business hours will generally be requested to go to the emergency room for evaluation.
• Electrocardiogram
  Depending upon the age of the recipient, additional testing including an EKG, treadmill, psychological evaluation, mammogram, vaginal ultrasound and screening blood tests may be requested. We try to be as cost-effective as possible but we also want to make sure the recipient has the best chance of having a healthy pregnancy and that the embryos have a wonderful chance at life.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  At the appropriate time, the eggs will be removed from the donor under ultrasound guidance using a slender needle placed through the vagina, while the donor is under controlled intravenous sedation. This process is safe and relatively painless and is performed with great care in the SRMS facility. Typically, the donor is able to return to work the day following the egg retrieval.
• Radiology
  Please have copies of your medical records and your X-rays forwarded to the office prior to your appointment, as these will be reviewed prior to your visit. Please understand that if you had an HSG (Hysterosalpingogram) performed, the radiology facility will have your X-rays and not your physician.
• X-Rays

Surgeons

• Hysterectomy
  €šÃ„úAs I approached the age of 44, I said to myself, ‘even though I’m still not married, I have a lot of love to give’ so I pursued having a child on my own,” says Lewis. “With a history of reproductive problems, I was devastated to learn from my previous physician that I would need a hysterectomy. I would never have a child of my own.”
• Laparoscopy
  The complications of the egg retrieval process itself are less than 1%. Rarely, a surgical complication such as infection or bleeding could require hospitalization and an emergency laparoscopy on the egg donor. Every attempt would be made to have the process covered on the egg donor’s insurance policy, but any unpaid balance will be the responsibility of the recipient couple. Egg donor insurance may be available, so please ask the SRMS staff about this option.
