How do I find a qualified infertility doctor?
The best way to find a qualified infertility doctor is to find one that's board-certified in the subspecialty of infertility, and we are called reproductive endocrinologists. So a very good way to find someone is to use the web, and to find a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist who is close to you, and go there for a consultation.If the nearest board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is far away from where you live, at least you'll have a consultation, and he or she will be able to direct you to a general OBGYN in your neighborhood who does some infertility and is typically able to do at least simple infertility treatments. But I have seen a lot of patients waste a lot of time by going to see general OBGYNs and general doctors in the community who are not specialists in infertility and where they spend a lot of time doing unnecessary treatments or treatments that are not really effective. So I strongly recommend going for the board-certified reproductive endocrinologist.
