Infertility Specialists in Voorhees, NJ

Advocare Premier Ob Gyn of South Jersey, located at 903 Sheppard Road in Voorhees, NJ, provides infertility evaluations as part of its obstetrics and gynecology practice.¹ The office is staffed by three physicians, Dr. Eric Grossman, Dr. Leah Goldberg, and Dr. Marigloria Maldonado-Puebla, plus nurse practitioners and certified nurse-midwives, several of whom list fertility care among their clinical interests.¹ Patients can call (856) 772-2300 to request an appointment, and we will try to schedule new patients "as soon as possible," sometimes as early as the next day.²

Who Is Considered "Infertile," and When Should You See a Specialist?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), infertility is defined as not conceiving after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse.³ The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) narrows that window to 6 months for women age 35 and older, since egg quantity and quality decline more quickly after that age.⁴ Women over 40 are advised to seek evaluation even sooner.⁴


Key statistics on infertility prevalence:

  • Infertility affects an estimated 10%–15% of couples in the United States, making it one of the most common reproductive-age health conditions.⁴
  • About 10% of women ages 15–44 (roughly 6.1 million) report difficulty getting or staying pregnant, per the U.S. Office on Women's Health, citing CDC data.⁵
  • 85% of couples with no underlying fertility problems conceive naturally within one year of trying.⁴
  • Male factor infertility contributes to 40%–50% of infertility cases, which is why physicians typically recommend evaluating both partners at the same time.⁶

What Happens During an Infertility Evaluation?

A standard infertility workup evaluates three things, whether a woman is ovulating, whether her fallopian tubes and uterus are structurally normal, and whether her partner's semen analysis is normal.⁶ ASRM committee guidance recommends this three-part approach as the baseline evaluation before more advanced testing or treatment begins.⁷


The General Evaluation Pathway


  • History and physical exam. The physician reviews menstrual cycle regularity, prior pregnancies or miscarriages, pelvic infections or surgeries, and family history of infertility.⁸
  • Ovarian reserve and hormone testing. Bloodwork may include FSH, LH, estradiol, and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). ASRM recommends ovarian reserve testing for all women age 35 and older.⁹ A transvaginal ultrasound is often used to check the uterus, ovaries, and antral follicle count.⁸
  • Tubal patency testing. A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) — an X-ray using contrast dye — is the standard test used to confirm the fallopian tubes are open. It's typically done between cycle days 7–12, after a period ends but before ovulation.¹⁰
  • Semen analysis. Because male factor is involved in up to half of all infertility cases, a semen analysis for the male partner is recommended from the outset rather than after the female workup is complete.⁶


Even with a full workup, 10%–30% of couples receive a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, meaning no single cause is identified, though many of these couples still respond well to treatment.⁴ ⁶

Why Choose a Local OB/GYN Practice for an Infertility Evaluation?

Rather than requiring an immediate referral to a reproductive endocrinology clinic, Advocare Premier Ob Gyn performs the initial infertility workup — history, bloodwork, ultrasound, and HSG referral — in-house at the Voorhees office, consistent with ACOG guidance that general OB/GYNs are qualified to manage the initial infertility evaluation before referring complex cases to a specialist.⁶ The practice's physicians also have more than 25 years of combined experience in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, including laparoscopic and robotic procedures used to treat fibroids and other structural causes of infertility.¹

Infertility Treatment Coverage in New Jersey

New Jersey is one of roughly 16 states that legally require certain health insurance plans to cover infertility diagnosis and treatment.¹¹


  • The state's original infertility mandate requires fully insured employer group plans (50+ employees) offering pregnancy-related benefits, headquartered in NJ, to cover diagnosis and treatment of infertility, including up to four completed egg retrievals per lifetime.¹¹ ¹²
  • On January 12, 2024, Governor Phil Murphy signed an update to the law (the New Jersey Family Building Act) that aligned the definition of infertility with ASRM's broader definition, removed age restrictions on coverage, and prohibited denying coverage based on relationship status or sexual orientation.¹³
  • Coverage requirements do not apply to self-insured employer plans, which are regulated federally rather than by the state.¹²
