About Dr. Steinberg and The Fertility Institutes:

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Dr. Jeffrey Steinberg has long been hailed as the trailblazer for reproductive medicine in the United States and abroad. In 1986 the first Fertility Institute was founded by Dr. Steinberg as a new kind of medical establishment that prides itself on the practice of Reproductive Medicine based on a solid foundation of science. The doctor and his flourishing institute have grown to include four successful locations including: Los Angeles, New York, Guadalajara, and India.

Known for his medical advancements with “designer babies” which garnered quite a bit of attention in 2009, now Dr. Steinberg and his fertility clinics helps couples, both gay and straight, create the families of their dreams. At the institute Dr. Steinberg has been involved in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) from the inception of such procedures as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), GIFT and ICSI and continues to participate in latest advances in the field of fertility not only in research but also in practice.

The distinguished doctor completed his undergrad education at the University of California Los Angeles and went on to receive an M.D. from Autonomous University of Guadalajara in 1977. He carried out his initial training at Cambridge University in England, the birthplace of In Vitro Fertilization working with such notable physicians as Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards, the original British pioneers of In Vitro Fertilization. Shortly after, Dr. Steinberg continued his work in Australia at then, the world's most successful IVF programs.

After learning from some of the best in the industry his team returned to the U.S. to establish one of the first and most prominent In Vitro Fertilization programs in the United States. Dr. Steinberg has since remained at the forefront of modern advancements in infertility care all the while maintaining the highest degree of scientific credibility and avoiding the temptation of sensationalism associated with the levels of success and popularity the doctor and his institutes have garnered.
