Dr. Opsahl and his team were very nice and accommodating. It was a very pleasant visit and I'm excited to pursue IVF treatments with him in the near future.

We were delayed 10 minutes by a traffic accident on the freeway and called to let them know. They got us right in to see the Dr. and did paperwork after so no-one else was inconvenienced. Great service.

More about Dr. Michael Opsahl, MD, FACOG
I am an infertility specialist and board certified in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. I have practice medicine for 35 years, which has provided me with invaluable experience that I can use to assist people trying to build or expand their families.
I retired after 20 years serving our Navy families in 1994. I spent 10 years with a very progressive infertility team at Genetics & IVF Institute. I founded (with Dr Wiemer and 2 others) Northwest Center for Reproductive Sciences in Kirkland WA. Dr Wiemer and I now start a new chapter with a great practice in Kirkland WA called Poma Fertility.
Dr Wiemer and I previously achieved outstanding IVF outcomes at NCRS and we will continue that tradition at Poma but with a renewed emphasis on high quality outcomes, customer service, and exceptionally affordable prices to allow a wider number of people to achieve their dream of a family.
Our motto is “Creating Life is Beautiful” because it expresses the combination of working together with you, science, technology and the miracle of life.
