A s the first in vitro fertilization clinic in the state, we have helped build or expand fami- lies in Hawai‘i for more than 38 years. Our fertility clinic is based in Honolulu and offers state-of-the-art assistance in conceiving a child. We are here to serve not only the conven- tional couple, but also assist those desiring single parent- hood or in same-sex relation- ships. We also offer coordina- tion in services requiring donor

I describe the care offered at
Oocyte freezing for fertility
Since opening our doors in 1985, we have assisted in the birth of more than 7,500 babies to clients not only in Hawai‘i, but from all over the world.
Information can often pro- vide comfort and understand- ing for what you’ re going through. That’s why we often hold free monthly Zoom sem- inars on the in vitro fertilization process and other alternatives for couples with fertility prob- lems. This relaxed, informal presentation is designed to give you an overview of the options, and a chance to meet one of our doctors and ask questions.
We also offer preimplanta- tion genetic testing for aneu- ploidy (PGT-A) on embryos to analyze for chromosomal abnormalities, thus helping embryo selection for transfer. Additionally, our laboratory offers preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disor- ders (PGT-M), which detects specific genetic conditions (e.g. cystic fibrosis, sickle cell) that run in a given person’s family history.
preservation is another service we provide. This is an excel- lent option for women interest- ed in delaying motherhood. It allows a woman the possibili- ty to “freeze” her unfertilized eggs (eggs not combined with sperm) for future use, thus pre- serving her fertility at the age the eggs were removed.
Our doors are open to all who seek reproductive assistance.
