from our family to yours
MEET YOUR TEAM
We’re a family, both at home and at work, of doctors, nurses, scientists, technicians, and administrators, all dedicated to helping you realize your dream of family. We’re here to educate, encourage, and empower you in your fertility journey and will celebrate your success and guide you through the obstacles and opportunities.
Our six fellowship-trained reproductive endocrinologists inject a wealth of experience and enthusiasm into our practice and, together, we’re proud to represent the largest network of fertility centers in the Carolinas. Helping you expand your family isn’t just what we love to do, it’s part of who we are.

PHYSICIANS AND
ADVANCED PRACTICE PROVIDERS
Each of our six fellowship-trained reproductive endocrinologists and infertility specialists went into this field for reasons they still hold dear. Very much part of a larger team, their role is to spend as much time as is necessary during each and every encounter to ensure that you remain confident, aware, and optimistic as you pursue the treatment approach just right for you. Our physicians understand that individualism demands options and strive to ensure that your experience at PREG is as informative and reassuring as it is empowering.

Your relationship will become a truly valued and long-lasting one.
