"I was 37 years of age when I made the decision to see a fertility specialist at New LIFE. I had been trying for 6 years and spent thousands of dollars on ineffective treatments with a physician who despite years of practice and claiming to be a specialist, was not.  Under the care of Dr. Ripps, a board certified Reproductive Endocrinologist, I was quickly evaluated and the diagnosis of endometriosis was made.  I conceived in the first cycle of IVF and now have the beautiful baby girl of whom I had always dreamed. The instructions from Dr. Ripps and the exceptional staff at New LIFE were clear and they were always ready and available to help if questions arose.

I am afraid that there are many other women who, like me, do not understand the value of finding a doctor with proper training.  They may waste precious time before seeking the care of a Board certified reproductive specialist. Some of them, unfortunately, wait too long and lose their only opportunity to be a parent. My best advice to others couples is to seek out a Board certified reproductive endocrinologist, then make a plan and follow through to the last detail."
