The Business of a Patient-Centered Medical Practice with Dr. Catha Fischer of Spring Fertility

CF2 (1)

Dr. Catha Fischer is the Director of Fertility Preservation, Reproductive Endocrinologist, and Medical Director at Spring Fertility. Spring Fertility is a modern fertility center that delivers patient-centric, state-of-the-art IVF, egg freezing, genetic testing, and advanced reproductive services. A board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, obstetrician, and gynecologist, Catha is driven by the belief that every patient deserves both compassionate service and expert clinical care.

Catha joins us today to describe her early desire to study infertility and be a physician. She shares her passion for personalized and compassionate patient care and outlines the different options available for women who want to take control of their fertility journey. She also underscores why Entreprenistas need to be willing to take risks and highlights the importance of women advocating for themselves in every medical situation.
