it is such a special and exciting time! You are not alone in the wonder and worry of it all.

What our patients are saying

Dr. Dickinson worked with us on our fertility from the onset of our decision to try and conceive. She was systematic and compassionate. As a couple in our late thirties and early forties fertility can become a complicated and frustrating issue. Dr. Dickinson was able to listen to our concerns and look at all aspects of fertility; presenting us with a variety of options to help increase our chances of conception. Dr. Dickinson worked with us to get our bodies healthy and our hormone levels to the right levels and we were able to conceive and are progressing nicely with our pregnancy! I cannot put into words how grateful we are for her expertise, sensitivity to us, and never ending dedication to our goal.

My husband and I went to Dr. Dickinson to seek help with our fertility issues. I was not interested in a short-term fix to get pregnant; I wanted to find out what imbalances I had and correct them for the long term. After testing both my husband and I, we found out that we both had hormonal imbalances. With supplements, dietary and lifestyle changes, and her close guidance with monthly ovulation tracking, we were pregnant within three months. The care and concern that Dr. Dickinson shows her patients is remarkable. We now have a big, healthy baby boy thanks to the work of Dr. Dickinson!

Dr. Dickinson has helped me find balance in my life. She is knowledgeable and thorough and explains all test results in a way that enables me to understand the interconnections in my body. Her insights and approaches have been incredibly helpful. Through thoughtful assessment and treatment, Dr. Dickinson helped me address hormonal imbalances which not only has improved my overall sense of well-being, but also helped pave the way for (successful!) family planning.
