History and Mission Statement

History

IVF Phoenix along with its sister organization, Endometriosis and Reproductive Surgery Specialists, was created in May of 1993 under the direction of Dr. John L. Couvaras, M.D. Permanent space was acquired in December of 1993 and offices were moved in February, 1994. The facility included medical offices, ultrasound, fully equipped andrology and in-vitro fertilization laboratory, in-office egg retrieval, cryopreservation and storage, and a micromanipulation station for assisted hatching and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

Our first Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) procedure was performed at Paradise Valley Hospital; 13 days later, a positive pregnancy test was obtained and twins, a boy and girl, were delivered in October of 1994. Since that time, many other ART procedures such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF) with embryo transfer (ET), Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT), Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) have been performed with similar success.
