Meet your Team

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.

IVF COORDINATORS

If IVF becomes part of your treatment plan, you’ll soon come to know our IVF coordinators quite well. All are highly experienced and will become your advocate, your go-to, and your confidant, all while working hand-in-hand with your physician as they guide you through the IVF process. Your relationship will become a truly valued and long-lasting one.

NURSING TEAM

A team of extraordinarily caring and highly trained individuals who run on a seemingly endless supply of energy and enthusiasm comprise the nursing staff at PREG. Our group is purposefully large to ensure that time is never short when you need them. Whether it’s returning your call or email in a timely manner, making sure you understand every detail about your treatment plan, or providing support and insight when you need to talk, they’ll always be here for you, every step of the way.

SCIENTIFIC AND
EMBRYOLOGY TEAM

A successful IVF program isn’t possible without a highly trained team of clinical embryologists. We are incredibly fortunate that Rodney Wade has returned to South Carolina to serve as the lab director at PREG, overseeing each of our three IVF labs. His experience in the field is unmatched and his track record in providing excellent outcomes for patients in our state cannot be questioned as he formerly directed the IVF lab at Southeastern Fertility Center in Charleston for over a decade. Our embryologists understand that their work is crucial and are focused, committed, and enthusiastic, each and every day.

ANDROLOGY AND CLINICAL LABORATORY TEAM

These individuals are responsible for making sure that your lab results are processed efficiently, always with precision and accuracy, for they are the basis of much of the day-to-day decision-making during treatment. Our andrologists perform high-complexity semen analysis on-site and prepare specimens for both intrauterine insemination and IVF. They are critical members of our team whom both you and your partner will have much interaction with.

MANAGERIAL TEAM

Faith Ripley oversees strategic planning and all operations at PREG. She is well-known in the field and we are incredibly fortunate to have her, for the degree of exceptionalism demanded in all aspects at PREG would be difficult to achieve without Faith. She has assembled a superb team of supervisors who manage the day-to-day operations at each of our locations, ensuring that both the patient experience and standards we’ve all come to expect at PREG are consistent throughout our network of fertility centers.

FINANCIAL COUNSELORS

We understand that financial matters may seem daunting when it comes to fertility treatment. Our team of financial counselors are highly experienced, committed, and here to ensure that you feel fully informed every step of the way. No question is too small, and they’re always available when they arise. Apart from their role as educators in this regard, they’re also advocates on your behalf when it comes to interfacing with your insurance company and applying for financial assistance programs.

ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM

While you’ll come to recognize several of their smiling faces as soon as you enter our doors, many work behind the scenes to ensure your experience at PREG is always smooth and efficient. Whether it’s sending records to your obstetrician in a timely manner once you’ve graduated from PREG, answering questions about your account, or scheduling appointments with your convenience in mind, we’re proud of how they represent PREG and our practice wouldn’t run the way it must without them.
