Mark Denker MD

Mark Denker MD is a board certified surgeon, fertility specialist, and Medical Director of Palm Beach Fertility in Palm Beach, Florida. 

According to Mark Denker MD, infertility often catches couples by surprise.  Couples marry, buy a house, and then begin to try to have children.  But, for 10-15% of all couples, it doesn’t happen easily or at all, explains Mark Denker MD.  Infertility, or the inability to conceive a child naturally after trying regularly for at least one year (for women under age 35), can seem devastating at first, with couples asking themselves, “what’s wrong with me/us?”

Mark Denker MD understands that difficulty conceiving is frustrating, stressful and highly emotional.  At the Palm Beach Fertility center, Mark Denker MD has treated thousands of individuals and couples facing infertility with tremendous success rates.  The first step to solving an infertility issue is to pinpoint the cause or causes, explains Mark Denker MD.  He says there are often several contributing factors to infertility and that each person is unique and requires individualized assessments.

According to Mark Denker MD, infertility can be caused by the man, woman, or both parties at about the same rate.  Society often points to the woman right away, but that’s just not the case, says Dr. Denker.  At Palm Beach Fertility, 40% of infertility cases involve men.  Mark Denker MD explains that infertility in men is predominantly about sperm.  The level of sperm production, shape, mobility, and pathway out of the body all affect a man’s ability to impregnate a healthy, fertile woman.  To get to the root cause of the infertility issue, Mark Denker MD and his team complete a thorough medical history, perform a medical exam, and collect sperm and blood samples.  After assessments are complete, Mark Denker MD partners with patients to determine the best method for improving fertility, which may include hCG Therapy to stimulate healthy sperm production.

While the causes can be many and varied for women, Mark Denker MD says the following common physical issues are often related to female fertility problems:  ovulation irregularities, uterine abnormalities, Fallopian tube issues, and endometriosis.  As Mark Denker MD concedes, these physical challenges are really out of the woman’s control, unfortunately, but most can be addressed through surgical procedures at the clinic.  Sometimes, the causes of infertility may not be clearly physical, which requires closer investigation.  Again, Mark Denker MD affirms that testing is unique to each patient and is dependent on her medical history, age, and so forth.

Treatment for female infertility is just as varied as the causes, asserts Mark Denker MD.  The medical team at Palm Beach Fertility begins with the least invasive means for improving fertility and helping women and couples realize their dreams for having children.  As Mark Denker MD explains, each treatment plan best suits the needs of patients; while some women may be young and have many years to conceive, others may have delayed child birth due to their career path, so the medical staff have to take several factors into account when working with patients to resolve their challenges.  A simple ovulation test kit may be the first step, but the path from there can go any one of several ways, explains Mark Denker MD.

Palm Beach Fertility is regulated by the Florida State Health Department and offers fertility surgery, in-vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), donor eggs/sperm, egg freezing, reciprocal IVF, and genetic testing.  As Mark Denker MD points out, the Center is fully equipped to treat even the most difficult roadblocks to conception and childbirth.  Unique to his practice, Mark Denker MD also serves the needs of untraditional families, including same-sex partners desiring biological children.

Along with each recommended treatment for any client, assures Mark Denker MD, the medical team takes a holistic approach to addressing fertility problems.  As each treatment plan progresses, Mark Denker MD believes in the benefit of working on the mind, body and spirit together and often recommends the use of acupuncture and other beneficial eastern healing methods in conjunction with medical procedures and therapies.

Mark Denker MD agrees that infertility can be a heart wrenching rollercoaster and has devoted his career to helping couples become families through enabling childbirth.
