What We Do
The Women's Fertility Center offers Reproductive and
Fertility programs as a sub-specialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
A Reproductive Endocrinologist is a
specialist who is capable of managing complex problems relating to
reproductive hormonal disorders and infertility.
At the Women's Fertility
Center we offer...
- Personalized, in-depth patient care from a
compassionate, medical staff.
- Expertise in reproductive healthcare and
treatment for endometriosis.
- State-of-the-art diagnosis and aggressive
treatment plans for optimal outcomes.
- Comprehensive analysis to diagnose and prevent
repeated pregnancy loss.
Dr. Lesorgen is an expert in a full range of reproductive disorders
and can assist patients in correcting:
- Problems in conceiving and/or carrying to term
due to ovarian dysfunction, tubal blockage, cervical factors, recurrent
pregnancy loss, uterine malformations, chronic and acute diseases, and
male factors.
- Endometriosis - Laser and Medical Treatment
- Amenorrhea
- Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
- Pituitary malfunction
- Menopause-related disorders
In addition to an office practice devoted to the treatment of
infertility, Dr. Lesorgen also offers complete state-of-the art fertility
treatments previously only available in large university centers. These
include:
- State-of-the-art Fertility Treatments
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
- Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT)
- Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT)
- Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
- Frozen Embryo Transfer
- Blastocyst Culture and Transfer
Diagnostic Procedures
Depending on your particular situation, several
different diagnostic procedures may be necessary before a definitive
diagnosis and course of treatment can be determined. For couples
experiencing difficulty in conceiving or carrying to term, these procedures
are conducted in a logical sequence in order to obtain the necessary
information in the fastest and least invasive manner possible.
Every couple may
not have to undergo every procedure and previous test results may eliminate
the need to repeat those tests during the initial evaluation. The
infertility evaluation and various treatment modalities available will be
discussed on an individual basis.
The basic fertility
evaluation consists of the following:
- Semen analysis
- Postcoital Test
- Hormonal blood tests
- Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)
- Endometrial Biopsy
- Cervical cultures
- Antibody testing
- Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy
- More advanced testing is available on an
individual basis.
Financial Matters
Insurance coverage for fertility evaluation and
treatment varies from policy to policy. Unlike most other fertility centers,
our office staff works tirelessly for our patients to determine the extent
of their benefits. We will also secure any necessary preauthorization prior
to initiating any treatment. We work with all insurances on an in and
out-of-network basis, and our insurance specialist will work one on one with
the patient. We will submit claims to the patient's insurance carrier and
then await reimbursement from them. Our goal is to maximize your benefits
while minimizing your out of pocket expenses. If you have no insurance
coverage or partial insurance coverage, we have various discounted programs
to assist you.
