Our highly experienced lab director, Dr. Oscar Perez, is committed to IVF success
Many couples facing infertility issues rely on more than just fertility-enhancing medical treatments. Advanced science gives couples that extra push that Mother Nature sometimes needs to create a healthy pregnancy. Our lab director plays a big role in this process.
Through performing in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), preimplantation genetic diagnosis and screening (PGD and PGS), your fertility clinic IVF lab plays a crucial part in starting or adding on to your family.
When you trust your fertility clinic to help you overcome challenges in trying to get pregnant, you rely on a whole team of knowledgeable, experienced professionals to make your dreams come true. The embryologist is a crucial part of this team.
