Sonja B. Kristiansen, MD
In 1996 she realized her dream of starting her own infertility center by founding Houston Infertility Clinic (HIC) where she serves as the Medical Director. Her goal in establishing HIC and her own private practice "Where Women Specialize in the Care of Women" was to provide couples complete and comprehensive infertility treatment in a compassionate, private environment that was easily accessible and affordable. Recognizing most couples work and therefore have demanding schedules, she offers early morning appointments (7:00 am) for patients undergoing treatment. This allows most patients to be at work anywhere in Houston by 9:00 am. Having completed more than 700 IVF cycles with pregnancy rates that compare well nationally, HIC is now utilized by several other Reproductive Endocrinologists in the Houston area. Specializing in surgical and in-vitro fertilization procedures, Dr. Kristiansen has advanced training in hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, and micro-tubal reconstruction. She also works with female endocrine abnormalities relating to menstrual and reproductive development. Dr. Kristiansen is well published, participating in many speaking engagements relating to infertility and is frequently used as resource by the news media. Dr. Kristiansen is a fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the American Medical Association, the Texas Medical Society, and the Harris County Medical Society.
