Richard Chetkowski

Dr. Chetkowski supervises all aspects of the program. His care includes other forms of infertility treatments in addition to assisted reproduction (ART). He evaluates each couple thoroughly at the initial visit and discusses all appropriate infertility treatments and alternatives in detail.

With over 35 years of clinical experience to draw upon, Dr. Chetkowski has often succeeded in helping patients with multiple prior failed attempts in other programs. He maps out novel and truly individualized approaches to match closely each patient’s unique clinical and personal profile.

“My practice philosophy centers on maximizing patient autonomy and decision making through education and extensive discussion of all available family-building options. We carefully consider each alternative regarding its likelihood of success, potential benefits and drawbacks as well as psychological stress and financial impact.”

 

Dr. Chetkowski welcomes patients from Oakland, Sacramento, San Francisco, the Bay Area, Berkeley and nearby areas.
