S.I.R.E.’s Medical References
1.
Our infertility clinic has been in existence since 1976. Leading the way in Assisted Reproduction in the Southeast, we started performing Intra-Uterine-Insemination ( IUI ) in 1978 and In-vitro Fertilization ( IVF ) in 1986. The center is still privately owned by physicians and not owned by a large corporation, a rare situation in this day and time.

Our Reproductive Laboratory was created in the early 1980s. Its ownership was transferred to the Medical College of Georgia ( Augusta University ) in the year 2000.
