Dr. Richard Wing's Message on Lab Security

All of us at REACH are saddened by the unusual news about the Ohio woman who was implanted with the wrong embryo during her course of IVF.

We would like to reassure our patients and referral community that REACH’s mission and practice supports honesty and integrity in all ways, especially when it comes to the handling of patients’ precious gametes and embryos. Our laboratory is managed by one of the top lab teams in the nation that strictly follow protocols that are in compliance with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Read more...

Welcome from North Carolina’s leading IVF, IUI & fertility experts

Founded in 1988, REACH is one of the Southeast’s leading fertility practices, with some of the region’s highest pregnancy rates. Additionally, REACH is in a small category of infertility clinics equipped with a freestanding embryology laboratory and surgical center and not part of a hospital complex.

Because REACH is designed specifically for infertility patients, everything is within arm’s reach of the physicians and clinical team. This provides more efficiency and keeps patients under anesthesia for a shorter period of time, enhancing surgical precision and patient safety.

The physician team at REACH also excels at giving patients the highest possible likelihood of singleton pregnancies. REACH is devoted to utilizing the latest methods available -– such as ultrasound-guided embryo transfer – to reduce the incidence of multiple births, which increases the risk of premature births and birth defects.

In the same devotion to advanced technology, REACH is one of a limited number of infertility practices nationwide offering pre-implantation genetics diagnosis (PGD). This relatively recent procedure evaluates embryos before transfer to the uterus and is beneficial to couples at risk of passing an inherited disorder to their children or those who have suffered multiple miscarriages due to chromosomal problems.

In order to bring assisted reproductive technology (ART) services to rural areas of North Carolina, REACH created a satellite network, a consortium of partner clinics throughout the Southeastern region.

Higher success rates, enhanced patient safety and convenience, and advanced technology all help put REACH at the top of its class both regionally and nationally.
