Q&A with Dr. Wendy Vitek

Q: What drew you to reproductive endocrinology and Boston IVF, and how does it align with your vision for the kind of fertility care patients deserve?

A: Helping people build their families is incredibly meaningful. I love that Boston IVF combines cutting-edge science with real compassion — that’s the kind of care patients deserve, and exactly why I’m here.

Q: Can you share a moment — even from your first few weeks — that made you step back and feel proud to be part of this team?

A: I often care for individuals with complex fertility needs, and one case in particular stands out — a uniquely challenging situation that called for a thoughtful, team-based approach. From the moment this patient established care, our team at Boston IVF jumped in without hesitation. Even with the extra layers involved, everyone stayed fully committed. We don’t shy away from complexity. We work through it together to support our patients every step of the way.

Q: What do you believe patients deserve from fertility care that you’re excited to help deliver at Boston IVF?

A: Patients deserve research-backed information that’s clearly explained so they can make the best decisions for themselves, along with a care plan and a team that truly supports them. At Boston IVF, I’m excited to help provide that kind of personalized, compassionate care rooted in science.

Q: How do you stay hopeful and motivated when helping patients through such deeply personal, and sometimes difficult, journeys?

A: For me, hope comes from staying present and walking alongside patients, even during the toughest moments. Their resilience is incredibly grounding and being part of a team that genuinely cares makes even the hardest days feel meaningful. Every small step forward is a reminder of why we do this work.

Q: In which ways do you see the field of reproductive endocrinology evolving, and how will you contribute — both individually and as part of this team?

A: Fertility care is becoming more personalized and data-driven, but it still needs a human touch. I’m excited to bring both by using research to guide care while never losing sight of the individual experiences and emotions involved. This is an emotional and physical journey for our patients, and we are here to support them through every part of it.

Q: Do you have any special connection to the local community?

A: Yes! I serve on the faculty at Upstate Medical University, where I help train obstetrics and gynecology residents in reproductive endocrinology and infertility care. I also collaborate with local OB/GYN’s to support patients across the region and will be starting a new REI fellowship based out of Upstate and Boston IVF to expand access to specialized training.
