Why Should You See a Board-Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist?

A reproductive endocrinologist is a subspecialist physician who has received four years of internship and residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology and several more years of advanced training, a fellowship, in the treatment of infertility, recurrent miscarriages and hormonal disorders in women. A typical Ob/Gyn resident receives between five and twelve weeks of training in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, while a fellow dedicates two to three years more to the field after completing his residency. Reproductive Endocrine fellows are trained in advanced procedures such as difficult infertility surgeries, procedures to reverse tubal ligation, injectable fertility drugs and Assisted Reproductive Technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). Dr. Mersol-Barg received his internship and residency training at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and earned his fellowship from the Ohio State University Hospitals. He has done graduate and post-graduate research in reproduction and has trained medical students and residents in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility for over 20 years. Dr. Mersol-Barg is board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and as well as in the subspecialty of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. He is also an active leader in the infertility community and Dr. Mersol-Barg currently serves as President of the Michigan Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility and Chairperson of the Michigan Department of Community Health's Infertility Advisory Group.

About Our Practice Standards

The Center for Reproductive Medicine and Surgery opened in 1998 using only electronic medical records (EMR) in order to maintain the highest standards and to avoid the errors often caused by using paper files. Dr. Mersol-Barg developed his own EMR that integrates patient health records, laboratory reports and embryology files. When laboratory inspectors viewed Dr. Mersol-Barg's system, he was invited to exhibit it at the 2008 American Association of Bioanalysts meeting. Also in 2008, representatives of American Physicians Assurance Corporation (APAC) inspected our practice. Based on APAC's "excellent" rating, the Center was awarded its "2009 Excellence in Risk Management Award". This award was specifically for making sure all patient care and records are handled in such a way as to minimize potential errors. Please be assured that we are always working to maintain the highest standards in order to give you the best care possible.
