Recorded webinar on fertility and pregnancy care during COVID19 with Dr. Meera Shah
NOVA IVF, located in Mountain View, California, has been the Bay area’s premier fertility clinic since 1987. Under the leadership of renowned reproductive endocrinology and fertility specialists Richard J. Schmidt, MD, FACOG and Meera Shah, MD, FACOG, the clinic and its cutting-edge In Vitro Fertilization Lab have gained recognition as one of the area’s top fertility clinics.
At NOVA IVF, the physicians and medical team truly connect with their patients at a level that is all too rarely seen in medicine today. The team commits to performing one procedure at a time and starts treatment cycles based on their patient’s ovaries’ hormonal best time, rather than the lab’s availability. This focus on individualized care, coupled with a highly experienced team of providers and an IVF lab equipped with state-of-the art technology, allows the NOVA IVF team to continue the exceptional success rate they’ve experienced over time.
NOVA IVF is an inclusive and welcoming clinic, providing a wide range of services to all patients regardless of their relationship status or sexual orientation. Services include treatment for unexplained infertility, male infertility, tubal infertility, endometriosis infertility, and implantation issues. In addition to IVF treatments, the wide range of services also includes egg donation and egg freezing, oocyte donation combined with gestational surrogacy, and preimplantation genetic diagnosis/testing (PGD).

For years, NOVA IVF has delivered individualized care and highly effective treatments in the most supportive and sincere manner. The team of professionals at NOVA IVF is passionate about what they do…the success follows."
