recognized that need and established a St. George location two years ago. Utah Fertility Center is excited to be the first and only fertility center to now bring in vitro fertilization (IVF) to Southern Utah. Dr. Foulk believes that “although only a small percentage of patients need in vitro fertilization (IVF), we felt it was important to offer a full comprehensive care program to Southern Utah patients.” From the easiest to the most complex problems, virtually all causes of infertility can be overcome.

For Katie and Darren, the road has not been easy but it has been worth it. They only had to make a few trips up north and the rest of their care was done locally. “We’re so excited that Utah Fertility Center is offering IVF in St. George where everything can be done locally!” says Katie. “This will decrease stress on couples/ families as well as costs and time off work. As a women’s health provider, it’s nice to have this excellent resource for patients who are struggling to have children. I feel comfortable to know that they will be well taken care of and learn the methods that may be right for them to have children. This is so important for couples with fertility issues as it can be such a personal and private burden.” She continues, “Dr. Foulk is personable, intelligent, kind and a good communicator. He takes the time necessary for couples to understand what is happening and options that are available to them.”
There are many causes of infertility as well as a number of different treatment options.
