Building a family is deeply personal, and we believe your care should reflect that. When you’re navigating the emotional and physical complexities of fertility treatment, feeling seen, supported, and understood is essential. Naturally, many patients hope to build a relationship with one doctor throughout their journey. But in modern fertility care, a team-based approach ensures you’re not relying on one provider alone. Instead, you’re being supported by a full team of experienced professionals who collaborate daily on your behalf. Let’s explore how this collaborative care model helps ensure consistency, compassion, and support every step of the way.
What is the Team Approach?
The team approach means you may see different providers including doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants throughout your fertility journey. This isn’t a sign of disconnection. It’s the opposite. It’s a model rooted in shared expertise, daily communication, and comprehensive care planning. Every appointment is part of an ongoing conversation among your care team. Every provider is informed. Every decision is made with collaboration and compassion. You’re not starting over each time. You’re gaining continuity through communication and collective insight.
Why It Works: The Power of Many Minds
Fertility care is complex and time-sensitive. It demands flexibility, precision, and thoughtful coordination. That’s why our providers meet regularly to review each patient’s plan and progress. You benefit from:
- Timely, uninterrupted care. Treatment doesn’t stop when one doctor is in surgery or away. Another team member steps in, seamlessly.
- Layered expertise. Seeing different providers often feels like a built-in second opinion, offering additional insight without delay.
- Coordinated guidance. No matter who you see, your care plan remains steady and personalized.
How It Works: Behind the Scenes
- Your primary physician, the first doctor you meet, remains your anchor and guides your treatment plan throughout your journey.
- Providers like Leslie and Lauren (Advanced Practice Registered Nurses, or APRNs, and physician assistants) work closely with your physician and are fully integrated into your care.
- Every provider you see has reviewed your chart, labs, and notes in advance, and communicates directly with your physician as needed.
- We use a shared electronic health record, so updates happen in real time and nothing is missed.
Common Questions We Hear
Will I still have a main doctor?
Yes. Your primary physician remains actively involved and is notified of all updates to your plan including medications, test results, and treatment milestones.
Will other providers know what’s going on with my case?
Absolutely. Our daily team meetings and coordinated documentation ensure that every provider is up to date and aligned.
Will my care feel fragmented?
Not at all. Most patients report feeling more supported, not less, knowing that a full team is behind their treatment, reviewing and refining their plan together.
“We work as one unified team. Even if I’m not seeing you that day, I’ve already reviewed your plan and likely spoken with the provider who is. Your care never stops,” ~ Mira Aubuchon, MD
“Before I walk into the room, I’ve already reviewed your notes and labs. If needed, I’ve spoken with your doctor. You’re never starting from scratch. We’re continuing your care with compassion and consistency.” ~ Leslie King, WHNP
“This approach gives you the benefit of all our experience. We share ideas, refine plans, and always put your care first. We are in constant communication, and you are never alone in this process.” ~ Randy Fink, MD
