Meet the Staff

We have registered nurses on staff to help you with most clinical concerns. In our laboratory, we have experienced medical technologists who will be performing endocrinology and andrology testing so that we will have your test results on the same day your sample is collected. These test results will help determine your specific treatment plan. With quicker results, we will be able to get your treatment plan started (and sometimes modified) as quickly as possible. Our laboratory is accredited by COLA and certified by CLIA to maintain the highest standards. During our most recent inspection, our laboratory received a 100% rating. In fact, COLA gave our lab its highest commendation, "The Laboratory Excellence Award" for 2009-2010. All of our front office coordinators have medical and insurance backgrounds so that they are able to guide you through any scheduling and insurance issues that may arise along with understanding your medical needs. Our staff is well prepared to provide care, support, counseling and medical information to help you during your treatment. We are all here to make sure that you have the best possible experience and outcome. Please call us if you have any questions or concerns.

There are occasions when you want to speak with one of our staff members. The Center’s regular hours are 7:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. We also offer some appointments after 4 p.m. for your convenience; just ask. From 12 p.m to 1 p.m., the Center’s phones are turned off to allow the staff time for lunch; however, we have an answering machine whenever we are away from the phone and our answering service is always available for emergencies. Please be aware that the nursing staff may be busy in the morning with ovulation induction monitoring visits and that Dr. Mersol-Barg will be seeing patients throughout the day. If someone is not available to speak with you when you call, please leave a message and you will receive a return call as soon as possible.

The Center is open for ultrasound and hormone level monitoring along with andrology services 365 days a year. On weekends and holidays, please leave a message and a staff member will return your call as soon as possible.
