At The Fertility Center, we know that infertility is a deeply personal issue affecting all areas of a couple’s life. Founded in 1991 by Dr. William Dodds & Dr. James Young, we offer services designed to address each couple’s unique needs from basic fertility evaluation to In Vitro Fertilization and Donor services. We draw upon the extensive experience of our physicians, lab director and nursing pr

ofessionals to optimize your chances for success. In addition to our medical services, we offer one-on-one counseling services with a certified infertility counselor, free of charge. We invite you to schedule an appointment with Dr. Valerie Shavell, Dr. Mili Thakur, Dr. Emma Giuliani, or Dr. Gary Jones at one of our locations in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Mason, or Traverse City, where together we can develop a successful treatment plan for achieving your dream.

It’s officially National Infertility Awareness Week 2026! If you are not affected by infertility, we urge you to visit our website (link in bio) to read 5 stories from this year’s Fertility Diaries contest entries. They are all a little different but all help paint a picture of what this experience can look like.

While there, we hope you cast your vote of support for one that resonates with you. Three of these entries will win financial support to help ease the burden of this journey.

National infertility awareness week starts TOMORROW and we are gearing up for spirit week to celebrate 🎉 We hope you’ll join us at your appointments this week or virtually from home!

Tomorrow is also the day that voting will open for our 5 essay finalists in our 9th round of The Fertility Diaries! Visit the link in our bio to read and share their stories. Let’s all join together to help shine a light on what our patients face through infertility and help increase awareness for all. By increasing awareness, we continue to fight for more access to care, better insurance coverage, additional support, and all the things our patients deserve ♥️

Listen - we love a good joke. There’s no better distraction from the hard stuff than something funny. But here’s the deal, we see our patients battling every day for the chance to see a positive pregnancy test. Please consider that before posting something that has real implications on those in the throes. Think of something else for tomorrow 😘

Today we’re wishing our team of fearless leaders a wonderful National Doctors’ Day!

We are so fortunate to be led by physicians who place a premium on always putting our patients first and practicing individualized medicine because, as we all know, no two fertility journeys are exactly the same. They always give their patients the highest level of compassion, empathy, and focused care, leading by example at every turn ♥️

Getting them all together can be tricky so we celebrated them earlier last week with a yogurt bar and sundae bar, put together by our staff 🎉 We appreciate you all more than we can express! Thank you for all you do, every day!
