Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) January 15, 2015 -- Reproductive Medicine Associates of Connecticut (RMACT) has three “Top Doctors” in the January/February issues of Fairfield Living, Greenwich, New Canaan-Darien, Westport and Stamford magazines, all of which are published by Moffly Media and are on stands now. Dr. Spencer Richlin, Surgical Director and Partner; Dr. Mark Leondires, Medical Director and Partner; and Dr. Shaun Williams, Fertility Specialist, have each been chosen by their peers for the 2015 list of Fairfield County’s Top Doctors.
Moffly Media’s list is compiled by the renowned healthcare research firm Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., which conducts a rigorous, peer-reviewed assessment of local doctors by their peers.
“We owe our success to a combination of science and compassion,” says Dr. Leondires, one of five Board Certified reproductive endocrinologists at RMACT. “Everyday we want to improve our patients’ fertility care experience through hope and proven results.”
At RMACT frozen embryo transfer delivery rates are higher across all age groups compared to the national rates (http://www.sart.org). Frozen embryo transfer cycles are the future of reproductive medicine based on many advances in the past 10 years. To better meet the needs of its patients, RMACT is moving to a new location in Norwalk, CT that will have one of the most advanced embryology labs in the country in January 2015.
