The Fertility Center of Charleston is Proud to Serve Military Families and Veterans

CHARLESTON, S.C. - July 6, 2016 - PRLog -- Infertility is a hard process for anyone, but for a military family it can be even more difficult. Navigating the insurance process can be arduous, and The Fertility Center of Charleston and Dr. Stephanie Singleton realize the obstacles many military families face and have worked to address them. One military patient says, "It's a hard process, and it can be so discouraging at times. For us, in vitro fertilization just seemed out of reach for so long, but we didn't give up. We kept our eye on the goal, did our best to be patient, and now our miracle girl is on her way, thanks to Dr. Singleton!" With a page on the website dedicated to military families and military savings programs, The Fertility Center of Charleston is proud to help all the families in service to our country realize their dreams of parenthood.
"We are proud to be a part of a new way to help serve the men and women of our military who may be experiencing financial barriers to fertility treatment" -Stephanie D. Singleton, MD, FACOG
