RADfertility — An Honest Editorial Review

RADfertility, the rebranded identity of Reproductive Associates of Delaware, is one of the Mid-Atlantic's longest-standing reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) practices, caring for patients in the Wilmington–Newark–Dover corridor since 1995. For anyone navigating fertility care from within Delaware, the in-state REI landscape is unusually compact — most of our Delaware fertility clinic directory entries are concentrated in a small cluster around the ChristianaCare campus, and patients who want a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist without crossing into Pennsylvania, Maryland, or New Jersey have historically had a short list. RADfertility, alongside a small number of regional competitors, has occupied a central place on that list for three decades, and in recent years joined the CCRM Fertility Network — a national affiliation that connects the practice's clinical team to shared lab protocols, outcomes tracking, and research activity across the CCRM group.

RADfertility currently holds a 4.8-star Google rating across roughly 387 reviews, a consistent quality signal for a specialty practice treating a patient population under significant emotional and financial strain.

About the Practice

Reproductive Associates of Delaware was founded in 1995 by Barbara A. McGuirk, MD, whose name still appears in the practice's historical materials and is widely credited with establishing REI services in Delaware at a time when most patients in the state were traveling to Philadelphia or Baltimore for IVF. The current clinical roster — verified against the practice's physician directory — includes:

Wendy J. Schillings, MD — board-certified reproductive endocrinologist who joined RADfertility in 2019 after more than 25 years of prior REI practice. Dr. Schillings completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Washington University in St. Louis and her fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. She serves as RADfertility's Medical Director of Fertility Preservation, overseeing egg, sperm, and embryo cryopreservation for patients facing cancer treatment or electing to preserve future fertility for personal reasons. She was named a Delaware Today "Top Doctor" in reproductive endocrinology in 2023.
Anne Hutchinson, MD — board-certified reproductive endocrinologist who trained at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine for her REI fellowship after completing an OB/GYN residency at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell. Her medical degree is from Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. Her clinical focus areas include fertility preservation, endometriosis, and age-related fertility counseling.
Maureen Kelly, MD — board-certified in both obstetrics and gynecology and in reproductive endocrinology and infertility, with fellowship training at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. Dr. Kelly practices within the CCRM Fertility Network and is affiliated with both the Delaware program and the Philadelphia-based Society Hill Reproductive Medicine site that joined CCRM in 2024.

Other names that appear in the practice's historical record — including Ronald F. Feinberg, MD, PhD and Larry I. Barmat, MD — have been associated with the Delaware REI community over the years; patients reviewing the current roster should confirm each physician's active status at the time of consultation on the practice's own website: radfertility.com.

Reproductive endocrinology is a small subspecialty — only about 1,200 board-certified REIs practice actively in the United States — and all active RADfertility physicians are fellowship-trained in the field, with primary board certification through the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) and its REI subspecialty.

What This Practice Is

RADfertility is a full-service REI and IVF center with an on-site embryology laboratory supporting egg retrievals, embryo culture, ICSI, biopsy for PGT, and cryopreservation. The practice reports outcomes to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART), whose public-facing clinic reports can be searched at sartcorsonline.com, and clinic-level data are ultimately aggregated into the CDC Assisted Reproductive Technology reports under the federal Fertility Clinic Success Rate and Certification Act.

As with any fertility clinic, success rates should be read in context of the patient population being treated — clinics that accept complex cases, older patients, or patients who failed elsewhere often show different aggregate numbers than clinics with narrower selection criteria. The CDC's guidance on interpreting ART success rates is essential reading before comparing any two clinics on headline numbers alone. Patients can also consult primary literature via PubMed for evidence on specific protocols, techniques, and outcomes.

Delaware Insurance Context

Delaware became the 16th state to mandate infertility insurance coverage when Governor John Carney signed Senate Bill 139 (SB 139) into law on June 30, 2018. For patients on state-regulated group health plans whose employer offers pregnancy or fertility benefits, SB 139 requires coverage for the medically necessary diagnosis and treatment of infertility — including in vitro fertilization — as well as standard fertility preservation for patients facing iatrogenic infertility from cancer treatment or other medically necessary gonadotoxic therapy.

Key features of the Delaware mandate:

Coverage extends to IVF when medically necessary, without requiring patients to first complete multiple cycles of lower-intensity treatment (no more than three cycles of ovulation induction or IUI may be required before IVF is covered, and IVF may be covered up front when medically indicated).
Standard fertility preservation is covered for patients whose fertility will likely be impaired by medically necessary treatment of another condition.
Self-insured employer plans (regulated under federal ERISA law rather than Delaware insurance law) are not subject to the mandate, and employers with fewer than 50 employees are exempted from certain provisions.
Religious employers are not required to provide coverage that conflicts with their religious tenets.

Because self-insured plans are the most common employer coverage structure for large U.S. employers, many Delaware patients discover their plan is technically not subject to SB 139 even though they live and work in Delaware. We walk through the employer-plan distinction in more detail in our fertility insurance mandates by state guide. RADfertility's billing team can help verify whether a specific plan falls under the mandate.

Patient Experience

RADfertility's 4.8-star rating across approximately 387 Google reviews is a meaningfully strong signal for a long-operating REI practice. Recurring themes in patient feedback include direct access to treating physicians, nursing staff who are recognized by name, clear communication around cycle monitoring, and a sense that the practice functions at a human scale despite its national CCRM affiliation. As with all patient-reported data, reviews reflect the subset of patients motivated to post — outcomes are not uniformly captured in a rating — and patients evaluating the clinic should ideally supplement online reviews with questions asked directly at consultation.

Considering At-Home Insemination?

Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. For patients without a diagnosed fertility condition — including single parents by choice, LGBTQ+ couples using donor sperm, and couples who want to try a lower-intensity approach before scheduling a specialist consult — at-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a legitimate first step.

At-home insemination kits like those from MakeAMom include step-by-step instructions for use with donor or partner sperm, are a one-time purchase reusable until conception, require no clinic visit, and ship in plain, discreet packaging.

If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (six months if you are over 35), or a physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist like those at RADfertility is the appropriate next step.

When to Consult RADfertility

Consider booking a consultation if you:

Are under 35 and have been trying to conceive for 12 months without success
Are 35 or older and have been trying for 6 months without success
Have irregular or absent menstrual cycles, or a diagnosis of PCOS, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids
Have had two or more consecutive pregnancy losses
Have a known male-factor concern such as low sperm count, motility, or morphology
Are a same-sex couple, single parent by choice, or are planning to use donor eggs, donor sperm, or a gestational carrier
Are about to begin cancer treatment or another medical therapy that may affect future fertility
Want to proactively assess ovarian reserve or freeze eggs for future use

Frequently Asked Questions

Is RADfertility a full-service REI and IVF center?

Yes. RADfertility is a full-service reproductive endocrinology and infertility practice offering the complete range of fertility evaluation, medical treatment, and assisted reproductive technology services, including IVF with an on-site embryology laboratory. All practicing physicians on the current roster are fellowship-trained, board-certified reproductive endocrinologists.

Does Delaware's insurance mandate cover my IVF at RADfertility?

Delaware's Senate Bill 139, signed in 2018, requires fertility and IVF coverage for patients on state-regulated group health plans whose employer offers pregnancy or fertility benefits. Self-insured employer plans (governed by federal ERISA rather than state insurance law) and employers with fewer than 50 employees are exempted, and religious employers are not required to provide coverage that conflicts with their tenets. Because the self-insured exemption covers most large-employer plans, many Delaware workers find their plan is not subject to the mandate — RADfertility's billing office can verify your specific plan's status.

Is RADfertility a SART member, and where can I find its outcomes data?

RADfertility reports outcomes through SART, the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, and clinic-level data are available on the public SART portal at sartcorsonline.com and in the CDC's ART National Summary Report. When reviewing rates, compare age-stratified live-birth-per-intended-retrieval numbers rather than headline pregnancy rates, and weigh outcomes against the practice's patient-selection profile.

Does RADfertility have satellite offices outside of Newark?

Yes. In addition to the main Newark office on the ChristianaCare campus, RADfertility operates a Dover satellite at Eden Hill Medical Center, 200 Banning Street, Suite 240. The Dover site extends the practice's access to central and southern Delaware patients who would otherwise travel up I-95 for every appointment. Historical references to a Chadds Ford, PA office do not appear on the current RADfertility website and should be confirmed directly with the practice if that location is important to your travel logistics.
