“Everybody has their own story, and working with them to help them become a parent is a wonderful thing.”

Welcome From Wendy J. Schillings, MD, Medical Director of Fertility Preservation

I am so excited to have joined forces to work with RADfertility’s great group of physicians! As a strong believer in personalized care, my goal is to work with patients or couples to educate them about fertility treatments and diagnoses so that they feel empowered to participate in their care.

As a high school student who knew that my future was in medicine, I became one of the few women members of the young physicians’ group! In college, I grew more interested in women’s issues and followed this passion into medical school, where I got involved in women’s health. Reproductive endocrinology was the perfect area of medicine to combine my surgical expertise along with the joy of creating and building families.

I joined RADfertility with over 25 years of experience in the field of reproductive medicine. For the first 10 years of my career, I helped patients grow their families while serving as a member of the teaching faculty for various medical schools. I then took that experience and ran a practice for over 10 years. As RADfertility’s Medical Director of Fertility Preservation, I help men and women preserve their future fertility prior to cancer treatment or for personal reasons through egg, sperm or embryo freezing.

What I love about my career is seeing all the babies that we help create and all the wonderful families that we bring together. It’s really exciting when you see them years later and can reflect on how you’ve changed their lives. Everybody has their own story, and working with them to help them become a parent is a wonderful thing.

"I feel so lucky to have found RADfertility. I tried two other clinics before I expanded my search and found RADfertility. I drive an hour each way to go to them but I don’t regret a thing. They are so caring and so professional. Every time I message them they respond quickly. Every time I see them they have a friendly smile and warm welcome. They explain everything so well and I never feel lost in the process as I did elsewhere. They also took the time to figure out what was wrong. Other clinics threw up their hands, said 'I don’t know' and pushed me to try IVF."

"Dr. Feinberg and the entire staff at RADfertility are absolutely amazing. The receptionists, coordinators, nurses, and lab staff are compassionate, caring, and straight forward. I’ve had a 12-year infertility journey and I’ve tried other clinics but RADfertility was the only one I felt at ease with. They answered any questions that I had and were there any time I needed them. My coordinator, Amy, was the absolute best and always had my back. Dr. Feinberg’s dedication to his patients is incredible. You are not just a number there, you are a person with individualized needs and care."

"My journey with RADfertility and Dr. McGuirk started when my husband and I were trying to conceive and were having difficulty. We went to RADfertility, where we met Dr. McGuirk. I always say she changed my life and 'fixed' me. Dr. McGuirk is always learning more about endometriosis and how to help her patients. She’s brilliant and truly cares for you! I’m eternally grateful to her and everyone at RADfertility for their unwavering support, love, and care."

"Every step of our journey was tailored to us. We were treated so respectfully. Every detail was clearly explained and we felt so comfortable. Rhonda Wright was a Godsend and inspiring. I highly recommend this place! I cried when my weekly appointments were done and I 'graduated.'"

"I cannot begin to explain how wonderful RADfertility is. We were frustrated with trying to start a family and it not working for us. The entire team of doctors and nurses made us feel comfortable and hopeful that we would be parents. We experienced so many ups and downs but we never felt like we were on our IVF journey alone, we had our RADfertility team every step of the way. If you're looking for a supportive team on the IVF journey, look no further. RADfertility is the absolute best."

"Dr. Schillings always kept us informed and never gave up on us. She always explained our options and risks with each procedure. She called us personally when there were any issues or sensitive subjects to cover. Dr. Schillings was the first doctor that had answers for us and wanted to help us have our miracle baby!"
