This clinic is the major referral centre for male infertility problems in eastern Canada and we encourage both members of a couple to come to all visits at the clinic. Consistency of care helps to improve the flow of information to patients and makes for a pleasant environment.
Patients at the clinic come from all over the four Maritime provinces and have access to specialized treatments not available in their local communities.
