Conversations about IVF are becoming more visible — and more necessary. When public figures open up about their fertility journeys, it creates space for others to ask questions they may have been carrying quietly. That is exactly what happened on Women's Health US when Eboni K. Williams shared her IVF story, and why NYU Langone Fertility Center's own Dr. Brooke Wertz joined the conversation as a featured expert guest.

Dr. Hodes-Wertz Brings Clinical Clarity to a Personal Story

Dr. Hodes-Wertz appeared on the podcast to offer her perspective as a reproductive endocrinologist, helping listeners understand the medical realities behind a journey like Eboni's. Her expertise spans the full spectrum of fertility care, from initial evaluation through the complexities of IVF — and she approaches each patient with both clinical precision and genuine compassion.

"Every patient comes to us with a different story, different biology, and different goals," Dr. Hodes-Wertz has noted. "Our role is to meet them where they are and build a path forward that is informed, individualized, and evidence-based."

That philosophy reflects the broader standard of care at NYU Langone Fertility Center, one of the most respected fertility practices serving patients across New York City and beyond.
