STAMFORD, CT January, 20, 2012 - Dr. Spencer Richlin, Surgical Director and Fertility Specialist with Reproductive Medicine Associates of Connecticut (RMACT), has been honored by his peers by being rated one of Castle Connolly’s “2012 Top Docs.” The list of Fairfield County's outstanding doctors will appear in the January/February issues of Fairfield Living, Greenwich, New Canaan-Darien, Westport and Stamford magazines, all of which are published by Mofley Media.

Best Fertility Doctors 2012: Dr. Spencer Richlin:

“To be recognized by my peers is truly an honor because I respect their work and their opinions,” says Dr. Richlin, who is the Division Chief of Reproductive Endocrinology and Fertility at Norwalk Hospital along with his responsibilities with RMACT. “But the most rewarding part of my work is partnering with patients to help them build the families of their dreams.”

Mofley Media’s list is compiled by the renowned healthcare research firm Castle Connelly Medical Ltd., which conducts a rigorous, peer-reviewed assessment of local doctors.

Board-Certified Fertility Specialist. Experienced & Compassionate

Dr. Richlin is board certified in both Reproductive Endocrinology and Obstetrics and Gynecology. He is a member of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. He recently co-wrote with his RMACT partner, Dr. Mark Leondires, the fertility chapters in a new textbook titled Avoiding Common Obstetrics and Gynecology Errors, published by Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins.

Dr. Richlin received his undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of California at Berkeley, and his medical degree from the University of Southern California’s School of Medicine. He completed two internships, one in Emergency Medicine and one in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Dr. Richlin served his residency at Stamford Hospital in Stamford Connecticut from 1995-1999, where he was named Berlex Best Teaching Resident. He then completed his subspecialty fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at Emory University’s School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia.

Within the reproductive endocrinology field, Dr. Richlin’s main interests are reproductive surgery, in vitro fertilization (IVF) and a cutting edge technology called Comprehensive Chromosome Screening (CCS), which safely evaluates biopsied embryos prior to transfer. Dr. Richlin takes a personal interest in his patients, and finds fertility preservation for cancer patients especially rewarding.

Stamford RMA of CT Fertility Clinics’ 3rd Location | Home to Integrated Fertility and Wellness Center

NORWALK, CT (October 11, 2011) – Reproductive Medicine Associates of Connecticut (RMACT) is opening a new, convenient location in downtown Stamford at 1290 Summer Street, suite 3200, today.   RMACT – Fairfield County’s leading fertility clinic and egg donation center – offers fertility patients quality care from a team of board-certified reproductive endocrinologists, fertility nurses and other fertility specialists.  In addition, the practice is opening the RMACT Integrated Fertility & Wellness Center, which is the next progression in RMACT’s complementary care, including services such as Fertile Yoga, nutrition counseling, acupuncture, peer support groups, and therapy, both for individuals and couples.

 

RMACT used patient feedback and independent research to identify Stamford as a viable location.  Along with RMACT’s Danbury and Norwalk locations, RMACT’s Stamford location allows patients flexibility when scheduling appointments near their homes and work in order to better fit their needs.  It also brings new opportunities with many commuters working in Stamford from locations in the surrounding area, including Manhattan and the other New York City boroughs.

 

“Stamford is a vibrant, young city and we are excited to help the people who live and work here to make their dreams for a family a reality,” says, Dr. Mark Leondires, medical director and lead infertility doctor with RMACT.  “We are also able to respond to our current patients’ interest with our  Integrated Fertility & Wellness services.”

 

The new Stamford location has considerable space, allowing the fertility practice to grow its Integrated Fertility & Wellness Program by giving it a proper home – and transforming it into a Center.  Over the past decade the practice has been adding services to help patients reduce stress (e.g., Fertile Yoga, peer support groups, therapy) and improve their overall health (e.g., nutrition counseling, acupuncture for fertility).  It now has a robust offering of classes and appointments at various times throughout the week for the greatest accessibility to patients.

 

As part of the move to Stamford, RMACT will be closing its Cos Cob location.  The patients who have received treatment through this office were alerted this summer about the transition.  Their appointments will continue in Stamford, which is approximately 10 minutes (4.7 miles) north on the Connecticut coast.

This Wednesday, July 27th in Danbury and Thursday, July 28th in Norwalk we are hosting a Ladies Night Support Group @ 6pm.

 

Most of you are familiar with our group and most are not.  For those of you who are not please let me give you a brief intro............... Ladies Night started a few years ago with myself and my amazing co-worker Lisa Rosenthal (she also happens to be our amazing Yoga Instructor as well).

 

Lisa and I both braved the infertility rollercoaster many years ago and survived it mainly due to the support of other women who were also on the ride with us. We decided to bring the experience of the “Peer Support “ to RMACT and have never looked back!

 

Our patients have found it extremely helpful and enjoy the time they have alone in this “safe environment” to unload all the frustrations this roller coaster can bring. Whether you are just getting your toes wet in IUI or about to embark on IVF, you will be AMAZED at how many other ladies are walking right beside you. 

 

This group is free of charge and we serve dinner so I certainly hope you can make it. Call me or email me if you want to know a bit more. 203.731.2520 ext. 289 or cvansteen@rmact.com
