The acquisition of Palmetto Fertility in Miami Lakes adds one of the leading fertility centers in Miami to the IVF FLORIDA fertility team of experts.  Palmetto Fertility has been providing highly successful fertility services to patients for over 15 years.  This partnership extends IVF FLORIDA's presence in Miami-Dade to now include Miami Lakes in addition to its existing Kendall location. 

"Joining IVF FLORIDA provides the opportunity to take our practice to the next level," states Dr. Graubert. "We are now part of a larger, more comprehensive fertility practice comprised of 9 reproductive endocrinologists in addition to a team of over 100 highly specialized fertility experts."

"At IVF FLORIDA, we are constantly working to improve access and convenience for the thousands of people who seek our services each year and we are thrilled to provide additional service locations with highly skilled staff, which is exactly what our partnership with Palmetto Fertility allows," said Dr. David Hoffman, of IVF FLORIDA.

"We are proud to add such an impressive fertility center to our existing operations.  Palmetto's success rates speak for themselves and this partnership now provides greater access to our fertility team throughout Miami," said IVF FLORIDA's Chief Executive Officer, Justin Enoch. "We have received numerous patient requests to expand our presence in Miami and Palmetto Fertility provides the clinical excellence and synergy we were seeking."

To further expand patient access to IVF FLORIDA's fertility team of experts and its unique compassionate and personalized patient fertility treatments, IVF FLORIDA in February added a new office location in Wellington.

"We are pleased to provide the expert and customer friendly services offered by IVF FLORIDA. Our new locations in Miami Lakes and Wellington will offer patients a new alternative, in a small, intimate, and personalized setting, and provide access to the state's leading fertility program," said Mr. Enoch.
