Dr. Doody is a renowned fertility specialist who is the founder and Medical Director for the Center for Assisted Reproduction (CARE Fertility) and Effortless IVF located in Bedford, Texas. The Center for Assisted Reproduction, established in 1989, has been a pioneer of assisted reproductive technologies in the north Texas region with several firsts including the first ICSI pregnancy and the first to successfully implement a blastocyst culture system. CARE Fertility had the first pregnancy in the region with a pregnancy following embryo biopsy and pre-implantation genetic testing for cystic fibrosis. CARE Fertility/ Effortless IVF also was the first to adopt the INVOcell Intravaginal Culture System since the INVOcell first obtained FDA clearance. Dr. Doody is President of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART), on the Board of Directors of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and a member of the RESOLVE Physician Council.

Dr. Kevin Doody commented, “This is an exciting time for INVO Bioscience. The INVOcell device provides a disruptive alternative to the high expense of construction and maintenance IVF laboratories. Used in concert with new methods to individualize and personalize treatment, the INVOcell will improve access to fertility treatment. Geographic, financial and other barriers to IVF will be reduced. INVOcell provides a more natural solution to infertility with fertilization and early embryo development occurring in the woman’s reproductive tract rather than artificial incubators.”

Katie Karloff, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of INVO Bioscience, commented, “We are thrilled to have Kevin join INVO Bioscience’s board of directors. Kevin is considered one of the foremost thought leaders within the fertility industry and was an early adopter of the INVOcell technology and procedure. We look forward to Kevin’s leadership and influence in the coming years as we look to increase access to care and expand fertility treatment across the globe.”
