We are dedicated to the pursuit of excellence and innovation. We strive to give our patients the best experience possible with the best outcomes.

Under the leadership of Dr. Faust-Rakos, Gynecologist and clinical staff, lab scientists, administrative staff, and fertility physician, Karen Wheeler, MD, we are deeply committed to treating each patient with the best customer service in mind. We understand the emotional impact that fertility treatment can cause, and the tough decisions our patients may face. Whether it is the financial cost, or moving on to egg donation or surrogacy, we help our patients navigate this difficult process with their unique needs in mind.

RMA has been at the forefront of innovation in the IVF laboratory for over 20 years. Our team of scientists and embryologists has helped improve the success and safety of treatment for patients around the world. Some of the important advancements include:

• Extended embryo culture
• Trophectoderm biopsy
• Frozen embryo transfer
• Single embryo transfer
• Egg and embryo cryopreservation

Historically in the U.S., approximately half of all babies conceived following IVF were born as part of a twin or triplet pregnancy. These pregnancies typically resulted from a multiple embryo transfer and were associated with a significantly increased risk of complications for both mother and baby. Utilizing preimplantation genetic testing to choose the single best embryo for transfer makes the promise of Single Embryo Transfer (SET) a reality and provides a safer, more effective treatment option for many patients.

We understand that every patient is different. Our expert physicians work closely with each patient to find the most effective and individualized solutions for their personal family-building needs.
