Artificial insemination, also known as Intrauterine Insemination is a process that involves delivering motile, active sperm in through the cervix and directly into the uterus, Intrauterine insemination (IUI) can dramatically increase the chances of fertilization and pregnancy. Often, Dr. Brown will combine this treatment with fertility medications to increase the success rate, although IUI can be used without medications in specific cases. IUI is a cost effective method to increase fertility in couples with mild male factor infertility as well as in cases of unexplained infertility.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Texas
IVF (in-vitro fertilization) is a form of assisted reproductive technology that combines a man’s sperm and a woman's oocytes outside of the body, in a laboratory. At first, IVF technology was primarily used to help treat women with tubal disease, such as blocked tubes. Now, IVF offers hope to couples with a wide array of diagnoses.

Esteban Ortega Brown, MD
Coming to terms with issues of infertility is always a problem and made me a little defensive when people asked me when my next child was coming. When I visited Dr. Brown the first time I was even more devastated than I thought because even though I knew we had issues, all he did was confirm the issue was there and real. But his resolve in explaining to us about the new technology and how excited he is about his career made me feel a little better. As we took on the treatment and moved forward the warm and friendly staff offered support rather than pity. That's huge! Overall my experience so far has been one experience I will never forget! From the very bottom of our hearts and with the most sincere of sentiments, we thank you, your staff and your lab team for making this possible! Oh boy! Oh boy! God and Dr. Brown's team me gave me a bundle of joy!!
