Black women experience higher rates of certain fertility conditions — including fibroids and ovulatory disorders — yet are less likely to receive timely diagnosis or treatment due to long-standing systemic barriers. ​

​This Black History Month, we pause to honor these realities and the strength of Black patients navigating their fertility journeys. At our clinic, we are committed to providing compassionate, affirming, and equitable care for every individual who walks through our doors. 🤝💛​

​If you’re seeking clarity, support, or next steps, we’re here to help — always with respect, understanding, and care.​

We’re over the moon for Emily and the Bubolz family! ✨​

Millie and Eloise arrived on October 20, 2025, and they’re already so loved. 💕​

​"We transferred both a euploid and low level mosaic, as we had two failed transfers prior at another facility. To our surprise, both embryos stuck and we got our two beautiful girls, all thanks to Dr. Reshef! They make up our second and third AFCC babies, with our first turning 3 soon. All from our egg retrieval back in 2022. We couldn’t be more grateful!"​

​Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Your story brings so much hope to others walking their own path! 💛​
