Hi Friends! I am Dr. Z and the Founder of Arbor Fertility. As a second-generation doctor and proud daughter of immigrants, my life’s mission is to support people on their path to parenthood by making fertility care more compassionate, accessible, and inclusive. I’m a double board-certified Reproductive Endocrinologist with over 15 years of experience, particularly in the Midwest. My clinical interests include IUI, IVF, ovulation induction, PCOS, male factor infertility, and third-party reproduction.

Before starting Arbor Fertility, I was the Director of IVF and an Assistant Professor in the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Missouri. I am super grateful to be recognized by my incredibly talented colleagues as a St. Louis Magazine Top Doctor, Best in Missouri Life Magazine Top Doctor, and a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for 6 years running.

Outside the clinic, I serve on the Board of Trustees of John Burroughs School and volunteer with Girls in the Know, a St. Louis nonprofit dedicated to empowering pre-teen girls through education. I'm a proud mom of four amazing kids and have been married to my college sweetheart for 21 wonderful years.

While all the leadership positions, publications and awards are awesome, the best gift of all is the incredible teamwork that goes into helping our beloved patients become doting parents and to witness all their doubts and struggles melt away when they meet their little one.
