Expertise,
technology and support: for world-class results with your well-being
in mind.
Expertise...
Heading up our
world-class team is IVF medical director Dr. Feinberg, who has
been immersed in the clinical and scientific world of IVF for
two decades. When he joined Dr. McGuirk at Reproductive Associates
in 1997, our doctors made a commitment to create a highly ethical
and effective IVF program, with a professional team of people
to match. Senior embryologist and lab manager Marc Portmann also
joined in 1997. Soon after, Dr. Michael Tucker, one of the world’s
leading IVF scientists, started working with Reproductive Associates
as IVF scientific director.
Technology...
Within our state-of-the-art facility on the campus
of Christiana Care, you’ll find all of the services needed

in assisted reproduction. The highlights of our IVF program include:
• Ovulation induction with convenient, efficient monitoring and
clear, personalized information regarding your results and instructions

the care of a
board-certified anesthesiologist

and assisted hatching – to promote efficient egg
fertilization and embryo implantation

both fresh and frozen embryos
• Highly successful embryo transfer techniques –
minimizing risk of multiple gestation and ectopic (tubal) pregnancy
• Cryopreservation of embryos and, most recently, eggs

About success rates:
A note about success rates, since you’ll naturally want to know our IVF track record. In a word, it is exemplary. Year after year, we have reported outstanding success rates in published format to the CDC (available on-line) and have achieved amongst the top rates in the U.S.
However, our personalized approach to care means that we can’t determine your specific chance for success until we evaluate you closely and determine what roadblocks might be preventing you from getting pregnant.
