“I can’t say enough about Dr. Charles! As someone who has battled PCOS, it was a game changer finding her. She really took her time to get to know me and my body. She was able to help me get my hormones regulated and I absolutely give her ALL the credit of my two successful pregnancies. She even got ahead of things and set me up with post partum care to insure I felt good and supported post pregnancy!”

The first thing we need to do is figure out WHY you aren’t getting pregnant. Dr. Charles offers a fertility diagnosis package that does just that. The package covers the first two visits. Visit 1 – to initiate your care, you will meet for a deep dive intake (75 minutes), where Dr. Charles collects all the health history she needs to best understand your fertility state and determines which labs and diagnostic tests are required to deliver a root cause diagnosis. Visit 2 – after all the results are in, you will meet for a follow-up visit (also 75 minutes) to review your results and learn why you haven’t been able to get (or stay) pregnant.
The Fertility Diagnosis Package includes two (2) 75-minute appointments, the initial deep dive intake visit and the follow-up lab review and diagnosis. The cost of this care is $1600.
After receiving your root cause diagnosis, you will be able to make an empowered decision about how to move forward with your fertility health. Dr. Charles offers a one-on-one fertility treatment program that enables you to reach your optimal fertile state integrating conventional and holistic approaches. The treatment program includes monthly visits with Dr. Charles, unlimited messaging between visits for all the questions you might have, access to discounted nutrients / supplements, and continued access to at-cost lab testing for all necessary follow-up care.
The Fertility Treatment Program includes monthly 45-minute appointments and unlimited messaging with Dr. Charles between visits. The cost of this care is $495 per month.
Lab costs are not included. The reason for this is that everyone has different lab needs. Some patients have already had “everything” tested, while others need a comprehensive order. Most patients only need a few remaining tests ordered to fill in the gaps of their care. Additionally, some patients like to see if their health insurance covers their lab work. Dr. Charles does offer a comprehensive lab package through Quest Labs for $525. This is for a patient who hasn’t had any testing done, needs an initial fertility assessment, and prefers to pay out of pocket.
Like labs, supplement recommendations will be individualized to each patient. Dr. Charles recommends supplements at a discount through an online dispensary for easy accessibility.
This is a question we field most often, and it is the most difficult to answer. Success for natural conception depends on your age and diagnosis. It also largely depends on your compliance with the treatment plan. Dr. Charles is an expert at discovering the root cause of your infertility, and that root cause may or may not be prohibitive to natural conception. Should you choose to pursue “high tech” fertility solutions (RE: IVF), your work with Dr. Charles improves your likelihood of success with both egg retrieval and embryo transfer. Dr. Charles will be happy to try and answer this question with you on an individual basis, once she better understands your diagnosis.
All patient appointments are conducted via a secure zoom feed. Messaging and lab/document sharing with Dr. Charles is done within the patient portal. Dr. Charles can request and receive past records, connect with your current healthcare team, and access your test results electronically. There are a few limitations with telehealth, and for that reason Dr. Charles requires all her patients to establish care with a local (to patient) gynecologist.
If you live in the following states, Dr. Charles may still be able to work with you: Nevada, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, West Virginia, Delaware, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, or Illinois.
We need healthy sperm to make healthy babies, full stop. However, not every patient is coming to our clinic with a male partner. For this reason, Dr. Charles has designed the program for women, but it has the flexibility to incorporate male fertility care. Please schedule a free call if you have any questions about what this would look like.
