Honored to speak at the most recent Nexpring Health meeting in Chicago.

It’s the calmest part of IVF, but definitely not the easiest. Think precision over speed. The right catheter and technique can make a meaningful difference.

I also demonstrated embryo transfer technique using the simulator. Always learning, always refining, all in service of better outcomes for patients.

Winter showed up. We still showed up. But this is not the kind of freeze we specialize in. ❄️

In a current season where good news feels especially welcome, this one meant a lot to me. I've been named a Castle Connolly Top Doctors ,Top Doctor for 2026.

This recognition is given to a small group of board-certified physicians, and I’m truly humbled to be included. I’m grateful for the recognition, but even more grateful for my patients and the trust you place in me every day. Thank you for letting me do this work with you.

I get this question all the time: Do I really need a hysteroscopy?

Short answer: sometimes. Not always.

Hysteroscopy is most helpful when there’s a reason to look closer, like imaging that suggests polyps, fibroids, or scar tissue, or a history of implantation issues or pregnancy loss.

In other cases, when imaging looks normal and there’s no concerning history, it may not add much value.

Bottom line: a hysteroscopy is a powerful tool, but it’s not a default step for everyone. The decision should be based on your history, not a checklist.

Good fertility care is about using the right tool at the right time.

Before my first patient each morning, I pause for three deep breaths. Just a quick reset to be present. Because care, including fertility care, should feel steady, supportive, and sustainable.

That's how progress happens.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; a visionary who taught us that hope, courage, and persistence can shape a better future.

May his legacy inspire every step you take (even when you can't see the staircase) on your family building journey.

Fertility is rarely as simple as the internet makes it seem. Luckily for science and patients, nuance still exists.
Ask questions, seek science-backed answers, and be kind to yourself along the way.

Quick reminder I share with patients all the time: fertility is a team sport.

If you’re trying to conceive and have questions about testing, both partners should be part of the conversation. Looking at only one side of the equation can slow things. Turn the volume up to listen in on why a complete picture makes all the difference.

Apparently we’re all doing INs and OUTs now, so here’s mine, fertility edition of course. No shame. Just science and perspective. What's on your INs and OUTs list for 2026?

January has a very specific vibe.
One minute you’re fully horizontal on the couch with zero expectations. The next, real life is back asking what your plan is.

If January feels a little jarring, that’s normal. It’s not a failure to miss the slower pace. It just means your body and brain actually took a breather. Think of it less as “getting back to it” and more as recalibrating.

If fertility treatment was part of your story last year, this season can be a natural moment to check in. Not rush. Not overhaul everything. Just check in.

That might look like asking your OB or primary care doctor for recommendations, reaching out to someone you trust, asking deeper questions, or finally booking that first consult you’ve been thinking about.

Small, thoughtful steps now can add up over time.

I recently spent some time in the Smoky Mountains, and it did what nature tends to do best. It slowed me down and made me think.

Nature is unruly. It doesn’t follow a neat plan. It’s beautiful, unpredictable, and a little messy. Things grow on their own timelines. Weather changes without warning. Paths aren’t always straight, but they still lead somewhere meaningful.

It reminded me a lot of this journey so many of my patients are on. Fertility isn’t linear. It’s full of uncertainty, pauses, and unexpected turns. And that doesn’t mean anything is wrong. It just means you’re moving through something real.

Sometimes progress looks quiet. Sometimes it looks slow. Sometimes it’s happening under the surface, even when you can’t see it yet.

As we look ahead, I’m holding onto that perspective and looking toward a very fertile 2026. Rooted in patience, grounded in science, and open to possibility.

Here’s to growth, even when the path isn’t perfectly clear.

If you’re wondering whether the number of holiday cookies you ate is between you and your conscience… don’t worry, I’m not counting.

As we settle into the new year, it’s a great time to gently cut back on habits that can interfere with conception. That includes:

✅tobacco or ma*****na use
✅ alcohol
✅excessive caffeine (aim for 200 mg/day)
✅certain herbs and supplements that may disrupt ovulation or s***m quality

It might feel like a shift away from some comforts, but creating room for health-focused habits is an investment in yourself (and preparing your future family).
