CHAIR OF DEPT. OF MEN’S FERTILITY HEALTH Dr. Craig Turczynski is an expert in the field of reproductive physiology, having formerly run an IVF, andrology and assisted reproductive technology lab. He left the IVF field and now helps couples who desire to achieve pregnancy restoratively, while under the guidance of their physician. He offers counseling to men who are concerned about their fertility and provides consultation to the couple’s health care team for how to interpret semen analysis and other fertility test results. When male factor is identified, he will research specific diagnostic and treatment options which can get to the root cause but are sadly not offered because of the aggressive use of IVF. He can also teach and coach the couple on use of the Billings Ovulation Method® or review other charting data to help them identify the optimum time to conceive when male factor exists. Dr. Turczynski is uniquely qualified to help couples who are considering or struggling to understand assisted reproductive technology. He will provide information that fertility centers never tell their patients.
