COVID-19 information and policies

Updated January 30, 3023

Bethesda Fertility Center and the Reproductive Studies Labs are currently offering patients our full range of fertility treatments. We are monitoring coronavirus developments including guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), TriHealth, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and other local officials.

The health and safety of our patients and staff remain our top priority. In order to continue to provide industry-leading care while limiting social exposure and virus transmission, we are controlling the number of patients on-site each day and employing the safety measures listed below. We will continue to vigilantly monitor the degree of COVID spread in our community on a weekly basis.

At this time mask wearing is optional. Should new cases sharply increase and move us to “high” risk level per CDC standards, we will reinstitute mask-wearing in clinical and non-clinical areas.

We encourage existing and new patients to call 513-865-1675 with questions.

COVID-19 Safety Measures at Bethesda Fertility Center:

  • Patients have the option of telehealth appointments for new patient consults and certain follow-up visits
  • All staff continue to take necessary precautions
  • We continue to aggressively clean and disinfect our waiting rooms, patient rooms, and procedure rooms while maintaining the high industry standards of sanitization that we have always observed.

For patients coming to our offices: 

  • Currently, we are allowing ONE support person to accompany patients to appointments.  This support person is required to be over the age of 18.
  • If you have not already reviewed and signed our COVID-19 Consent Waiver, please do so prior to your appointment.

Our staff is committed to retaining the quality of our care during this period. We will continue to share updates through our website and our Facebook and Instagram pages. We wish you and your family health and safety, and we thank you for your patience as we progress through this pandemic.

Following ASRM and CDC guidelines, we are recommending COVID-19 vaccinations for women who are contemplating pregnancy or who are pregnant. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our care team at 513-865-1675 or via the Artisan portal.
