This post is written by Shelley Leech, Dr. Kubik’s new OI Coordinator.
My job at Reproductive Health Specialists is to coordinate OI cycles, educate patients, and help patients understand testing and medication throughout their cycle. I have been a medical assistant for 17 years, working for a family practice office for 10 years and an Ob/Gyn office for seven years.
In my first experience I had working with an infertility patient, my thoughts were that we were interfering with nature and that we should let it take its course. I felt like we were playing God. I learned soon afterward how long it had been for this couple to try and conceive and had no luck. I asked myself how I would feel if the shoe was on the other foot. I now have the feeling that I am more like an angel sent to help, rather than someone playing God.
I can’t explain the feeling we as infertility specialists get when we can tell a patient they are going to have a baby after they have been trying to get pregnant for so long. It is so fulfilling to me to know that I have been an active part of the process in helping someone to conceive. It is truly a miracle, the “Miracle of Life.” I am here at RHS to help make your dreams come true and help make your little miracle.
Shelley is from Leechburg, Pennsylvania, where she has lived for 32 years. She is married with two children.
