Reproductive Associates plans to relocate its Center to Christiana Care in the Spring of 2000. Reproductive Associates of Delaware, an independent mid-Atlantic regional provider of comprehensive fertility services, has closed a formal expansion agreement with the Christiana Care Health System. This dedication to quality fertility care is a natural extension of the commitment Christiana has already made to Womens Health in the Delaware region. The Fertility Center will be located within the new Medical Arts Pavilion II building, adjacent to the Christiana SurgiCenter. Common causes for infertility include endometriosis, blocked or scarred fallopian tubes, abnormal ovulation or anovulation, and male factor.
Some couples have no obvious explanation for their infertility.
We have identified many patients with specific endocrinologic and metabolic abnormalities that can be treated with nutrition and lifestyle adjustments, thus avoiding more aggressive fertility treatments. In other instances, detailed laparoscopic evaluation might be more appropriate, since many patients would like to make their fertility care decisions based on a sound medical diagnosis. Reproductive Associates is a participating provider with Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Principal Health Care, Cigna, MidAtlantic, and DelMarva. Dr. McGuirk, the founding partner of Reproductive Associates, completed her postgraduate training at the Medical Center of Delaware and University of Pennsylvania Medical Center. Dr. Feinberg, who was previously on faculty at the University of Pennsylvania, completed his postgraduate training at Yale-New Haven Hospital and the University of Pennsylvania.
