“In 2024, I was curious to learn more about fertility centers in North Carolina—not as a patient, but as a doctor. After practicing fertility medicine and surgery for eight years at Cleveland Clinic, I was invited to visit Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist where I found an innovative, patient centered practice. I immediately felt at home and proud to join a group of physicians who had a track record of exceptional outcomes for patients. It is not an exaggeration to say that Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist offers an exceptional world-class fertility center right here in Winston-Salem.” -Elliot Richards, MD

As a patient of Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery, you’ll have convenient access to all your fertility-related needs right on site, including a procedure site and state-of-the-art embryology and andrology labs. They understand that this journey can already feel challenging, so having everything you need in one place for tests, procedures, and care can make things a little easier.

And yes, the clinic helps patients grow their families by adding babies through in vitro fertilization (IVF), donor egg pregnancy, embryo transfer and more, but the conditions that fall under the umbrella of “fertility” for a woman are much broader than pregnancy alone. Very aware of that breadth, Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Center for Fertility & Reproductive Surgery also offers support for conditions like:

  • Abnormal uterine bleeding
  • Endometriosis
  • Fallopian tube abnormalities
  • Irregular menstrual cycles
  • Menopause
  • Menopause transition
  • Ovarian cysts
  • Perimenopause
  • Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOS)
  • Recurrent pregnancy loss
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Uterine abnormalities
