Our Facilities

The practice of Dr. Marwan Shaykh serves two locations, north Florida and southwest Virginia. Both our Florida and Virginia infertility clinic locations use the same skilled endocrinologist,infertility specialist, and offer a full array of advanced reproductive technologies (ART) to help female and male infertility patients. We are committed to providing the most current medical and scientific services available in an environment of compassion and emotional support. To further assist you during your course of treatment, Dr. Shaykh and nurses are available to assist you 24 hours if needed.

The Assisted Fertility Program's main infertility clinic office, located in North Florida, was the first fertility program established in 1985. Our offices are conveniently located across from the Lewis-Gale medical center, so infertile couples in Southwest Virginia may no longer need to travel outside of the area for specialized services. In addition, patients from Virginia who need IVF included in their package are flown to our office in Florida where they will stay at the luxurious Castillo Real hotel. There, they can undergo IVF treatment and relax during a five-day stay. When done with treatment, patients will be flown back to Virginia, all at no cost to them. That is just one of the ways Dr. Shaykh ensures his patients' utmost comfort and satisfaction!
