Dr. Stephen Welden, M.D. - Obstetrics and Gynocology

Welcome to Dr. Welden’s office

It has been estimated that as many as 20% (1 of every 5) couples have difficulty achieving pregnancy naturally. These are some of the people that will be seeking help through our infertility/reproductive medicine center. These couples have usually already experienced emotional, physical and financial stresses even before they are referred or make the decision to come to our office.

We are also aware of how frustrating and depressing it often is, to be unable to accomplish what should be “natural and easy” and what others seem to be accomplishing without even trying. Understanding these feelings is why we strive to make the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Dr. Welden - Reproductive Medicine & Gynocology

As a specialty infertility practice, we are able to offer virtually all infertility services from artificial insemination, laser and reproductive microsurgery (including sterilization reversal), to the most advanced reproductive techniques and procedures (including our “in-office” in-vitro fertilization procedure, gamete donation, surrogacy, etc.). Because we understand what you may be going through, and maintain a “small office” atmosphere, we are uniquely able to give you personalized attention in a compassionate fashion. We go out of our way to make sure you don’t feel like a number or just another patient.

Our office is set up to provide a comfortable “home-like” atmosphere. It is as far from a cold, intimidating medical center as you can get, yet the treatment expertise and quality of care you receive are among the best anywhere.

Most of the staff have been with Dr. Welden for many years and are as dedicated to compassion and professionalism as any infertility support team anywhere in the world.
