Eugene Stoelk, M.D.
Dr. Stoelk received both his undergraduate degree in science and his medical degree at the University of Iowa. He completed residency training in obstetrics and gynecology in Grand Rapids, Michigan followed by a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the University of Louisville.
It was during this time that he and his wife Karen experienced their own difficulties with infertility. “She went through years of treatments for ovulation problems and endometriosis. She experienced a miscarriage and a tubal ectopic pregnancy,” Dr. Stoelk says. “We later adopted our first child, Nathan, and found out what a joy parenthood could be.” They were later able to conceive naturally and have two daughters, Kristina and Rachel.
Dr. Stoelk established the Northwest Fertility Center in 1986 and is its physician and medical director. He is well recognized in the Pacific Northwest for his expertise, and his success rates are consistently some of the highest in the Northwest and in the nation.
