WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Reproductive Care Center (RCC), a leading provider of fertility and family building services in Utah and Idaho, announced today that reproductive endocrinologist Kristi Maas, MD has joined its team of fertility experts as a partner.

Double board-certified in Reproductive Endocrinology/Infertility and Obstetrics/Gynecology, Dr. Maas joins RCC from a leading Southern California provider, where she played a significant role in advancing its IVF, research, and LGBTQIA+ family building programs.

"Her commitment to delivering superior patient care and conducting groundbreaking research fits perfectly with RCC's vision and culture, which is dedicated to making a fundamental difference in the lives of our patients."
Dr. Maas' arrival at RCC also serves as a long-awaited clinical reunion. In 2013, she graduated from the prestigious Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School/Boston IVF Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI) Fellowship Program – which trains the country's top-tier of fertility specialists.
Additionally, while at the University of Utah, she earned an Honors Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering, a Masters of Engineering degree in Biomedical Engineering, and a Doctor of Medicine degree from the university's school of medicine.
"I am strongly committed to advocating and expanding access for all patient populations and those in underserved geographic locations to receive the very best care possible," said Dr. Kristi Maas. "The partnering of Reproductive Care Center and Boston IVF is a unique and exceptional event. It marries a locally respected practice that is known for providing high-quality, personalized care with a nationally recognized, premier infertility treatment and research institution. Patients will undoubtedly benefit from this partnership and I am thrilled to reunite with my mentors and colleagues at Boston IVF."
"Having closely worked alongside Dr. Maas in her role as an REI Fellow, I can state unequivocally that Reproductive Care Center and the surrounding Salt Lake City communities have gained one of the brightest minds in reproductive medicine," said Alan S. Penzias, MD - Boston IVF reproductive endocrinologist, BIDMC/HMS/BIVF Fellowship Director and Board Member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). "Dr. Maas is a nationally respected and exceptionally skilled clinician, passionate researcher, a fierce advocate for all people who wish to build a family, and the quintessential physician to help lead RCC as it continues to deliver the highest-level of reproductive care in Utah."
