General Practitioners

• Nutritional Counseling
  You will have access to a variety of choices for treatment, including acupuncture, custom-formulated herbal medicines, massage therapy, nutritional counseling, therapeutic exercises, tai ji, meditation therapies, or a needle free treatment program.
• Male Infertility
  The egg freezing process can trigger premature hardening of the zona pellucida which surrounds the egg. Normally zona hardening occurs after the sperm penetrates the egg, thus protecting it from being penetrated by other sperm. Fortunately, hardening of the zona can be overcome with the use of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), a routine procedure already proven successful for many years in treating male infertility.

Gynecologists

• Gynecology
  Dr. Shane Lipskind is a double board-certified Obstetrician-Gynecologist and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility subspecialist. After his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern University, he completed his fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Dr. Lipskind has been recognized as a Top Doctor for fertility by Phoenix Magazine for the past five years and counting, helping patients from Arizona and beyond to fulfill their dreams of having a family and a better quality of life.
• Female Infertility
  Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common cause of female infertility. PCOS is a hormonal disorder in which a female produces excess androgens, which are considered a male sex hormone. Androgen can affect the frequency and success of ovulation. Many women with PCOS have fewer periods each year or no periods at all. Once PCOS has been diagnosed with blood work, fertility specialists aim to regulate the patient's ovulation cycle and androgen levels. CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION
• Obstetrics
  Dr. Nicole Kummer, infertility specialist at Arizona Associates and Reproductive Health and Arizona Center for Fertility Studies, is double board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. Through her residency at Yale New Haven Hospital and fellowship at the University of Connecticut, she gained pride and appreciation for this special field of medicine and a deep-rooted empathy for individuals and couples struggling to achieve reproductive success.
• Endometriosis
  Endometriosis involves irregular cell tissue growth on the uterus. The cell layer that normally lines the uterine wall grows outside of the uterus. Endometriosis may result in the development of scar tissue on the fallopian tubes, pelvic inflammation, and other complications, which may hinder fertility. Treatment options for fertility patients include ovulation stimulation, in-vitro fertilization (IVF), and surgery. Contact us to learn more about common infertility complications like endometriosis.

• Radiation Therapy
  Radiation - Radiation therapy attacks cancer tissues using high-energy waves like X-rays and other forms of radiation. Unfortunately, radiation therapy often damages healthy tissues as well. If radiation is focused on or near the reproductive organs, it can result in reduced sperm and egg production.

Surgeons

• Vasectomy
  Elective Fertility Preservation for purposes other than medical reasons has been an option for men for many years, including freezing sperm before a vasectomy. Fortunately, due to exciting developments in the field of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), elective egg freezing and fertility preservation is now a realistic option for women who elect to delay child bearing for medical, professional or personal reasons.
