Peoria Fertility Center Announces Change in Management
Sher Institute Appoints New Medical Director
PEORIA, Ill. - Oct. 4 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Sher Institutes for Reproductive Medicine (SIRM(TM)) have announced that Dr. Milton McNichol will assume the role of Medical Director of SIRM-Central Illinois, located in Peoria. Dr. McNichol is a board certified Reproductive Endocrinologist who joins SIRM-Central Illinois from an infertility practice in Shawnee Mission, Kansas.
He is a respected practitioner and researcher in the field of reproductive medicine and has relocated to Peoria with his family to head the practice. "I'm thrilled to be able to lead the Peoria office," said Dr. McNichol. "I'm looking forward to helping couples in Central Illinois that are struggling with infertility and I'm confident that we can benefit the majority of them."
As part of the SIRM family - one of the largest networks of infertility practices in the country - SIRM-Central Illinois utilizes the same cutting-edge protocols as other SIRM centers around the country. These include many breakthroughs pioneered by SIRM physicians, including the most recent development known as Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) - a test used to identify the embryos most likely to make a baby through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
A recent study, led by SIRM founder and Executive Medical Director Dr. Geoffrey Sher and published in the medical journal Fertility and Sterility demonstrated a birth rate of more than 70% in patients who underwent IVF using CGH for embryo selection. This is more than twice the current national average birthrate for IVF. This technology is now available in Central Illinois exclusively through the Sher Institute for Reproductive Medicine.
