Wendover OB/GYN & Infertility — An Honest Editorial Review

Most Greensboro patients who first wonder "is something wrong?" are not ready for a reproductive endocrinologist in Raleigh or Winston-Salem — they are ready for a careful conversation with an OB/GYN they already trust. Wendover OB/GYN & Infertility is one of the relatively few practices in the Piedmont Triad that carries "infertility" directly in its name, and it earns that phrasing by offering an in-house basic fertility workup and intrauterine insemination (IUI) alongside routine obstetrics, gynecology, and minimally invasive surgery. For patients scanning fertility clinics in North Carolina, understanding where a practice like Wendover fits — upstream of IVF, but meaningfully capable of first-line evaluation and treatment — is essential to planning a realistic care pathway.

About the Practice

Wendover OB/GYN & Infertility operates from a single Greensboro location at 1908 Lendew Street, just off North Wendover Avenue in the heart of the city's medical corridor. The practice is part of Unified Women's Healthcare of the Carolinas and draws patients from Greensboro, High Point, Burlington, Winston-Salem, and the broader Triad. Office hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with weekends closed.

The clinical team listed on the practice's public medical-team page includes board-certified OB/GYN physicians and a certified nurse-midwife staff:

• Vaishali R. Mody, MD, FACOG — Board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology
• Kelly A. Fogleman, MD, FACOG — Board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology
• Amanda Jones, MSN, CNM — Certified nurse-midwife
• McKenzie Chasteen, CNM-WHNP — Certified nurse-midwife and women's health nurse practitioner
• Meredith Sigmon, MSN, CNM — Certified nurse-midwife

Additional physicians are publicly associated with the practice group in third-party directories; prospective patients should confirm the current physician roster directly with the office. Patients can independently verify North Carolina licensure through the North Carolina Medical Board and board-certification status through ABOG or ABMS Certification Matters.

The practice's public website is wendoverobgyn.com.

Services Offered

Wendover presents itself as a full-spectrum women's health practice, meaning a patient navigating infertility is cared for by the same physicians who handle her prenatal care, gynecologic surgery, and long-term preventive screening. Publicly described services include:

• Annual well-woman exams and preventive gynecology
• Obstetric and prenatal care, including delivery at Cone Health's affiliated Women's Hospital
• Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery
• Infertility evaluation — history and cycle review, ovarian reserve and hormone labs, pelvic ultrasound, follicle studies, and semen-analysis coordination
• Ovulation induction using oral or injectable medications, combined with ultrasound follicle monitoring
• Intrauterine insemination (IUI) — in-house, placing concentrated sperm into the uterus around ovulation
• PCOS, endometriosis, and abnormal uterine bleeding management
• Menopause and hormone-therapy care
• Contraception counseling, including long-acting reversible contraception (LARC)

The practice's evaluation & treatment page explicitly describes both ovulation induction (oral and subcutaneous injection forms) and IUI as part of its in-house fertility offering.

What This Practice Is — and Isn't

Wendover OB/GYN & Infertility is a general OB/GYN group with an in-house basic fertility program — not a reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) subspecialty clinic. To be explicit for readers using this page to plan a care pathway:

• Wendover is not an IVF center.
• Wendover does not operate an embryology laboratory.
• Wendover does not perform egg retrievals, embryo transfers, ICSI, or PGT-A/PGT-M.
• Wendover does not run donor-egg or donor-embryo cycles.
• Wendover is not a SART-member clinic. SART membership for any U.S. fertility center can be verified at sartcorsonline.com, and U.S. ART outcomes are reported through the CDC's ART Surveillance program.

Patients who need IVF, egg freezing, donor eggs, gestational surrogacy, or preimplantation genetic testing require referral to a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist. For North Carolina patients, that commonly means Carolinas Fertility Institute (Winston-Salem and Greensboro), Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Fertility, Shady Grove Fertility's Greensboro/Raleigh offices, or Reproductive Endocrinology Associates of Charlotte. For the society's framing of when subspecialty referral is appropriate, see the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) infertility topic pages.

When In-House IUI Is the Right Fit

Not every fertility journey needs IVF, and not every path to conception requires a reproductive endocrinologist. IUI is typically the right first active-treatment step for patients with unexplained infertility, mild male-factor infertility (post-wash motile counts above roughly 5 million), cervical-factor issues, PCOS or anovulation responding to ovulation induction, same-sex female couples using donor sperm, and single parents by choice using donor sperm.

Published per-cycle IUI live-birth rates generally fall in the 5-20% range depending on age, diagnosis, and whether the cycle is medicated, and ASRM-aligned practice typically reassesses after three to four unsuccessful cycles before escalating to IVF. For many Triad patients, completing those first-line cycles at their OB/GYN — rather than immediately escalating to a subspecialty REI center in another city — reduces driving time, coordination friction, and cost, without sacrificing clinical appropriateness.

What patients should not do is stay in a first-line IUI program indefinitely when outcomes suggest otherwise. If three medicated cycles have not produced pregnancy, or if diagnostic findings along the way point to blocked tubes, severe male-factor, advanced maternal age with diminished ovarian reserve, or recurrent loss, the right next step is an REI consultation — not a fourth or fifth IUI cycle.

North Carolina Insurance Context

North Carolina is not a fertility-coverage mandate state. Unlike Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, or New Jersey, NC does not require group health plans to cover the diagnosis or treatment of infertility. That means most North Carolina patients pay out of pocket for IUI cycles, IVF, medications, and ancillary testing unless they have an employer-provided fertility benefit administered through a vendor such as Progyny, Carrot, Maven, or WINFertility.

Routine OB/GYN services at Wendover — annual exams, pelvic ultrasound, preconception counseling, and evaluation of conditions like PCOS or abnormal bleeding — are typically covered under standard gynecologic benefits regardless of whether any fertility-specific rider applies. Cash prices for IUI and monitored cycles vary and should be confirmed directly with the practice. For the broader state-by-state picture, see Fertlo's fertility insurance mandates by state guide.

Patient Experience

Wendover's publicly aggregated patient reviews are unusually strong for a high-volume OB/GYN group — a 4.8-star average across 1,543 Google reviews at the time of this writing. That rating density is not typical of mid-sized women's health practices, where a thousand reviews is already a long-standing reputation. Recurring themes in patient commentary include long-tenured physician relationships, unrushed visits, and direct staff access during active fertility cycles. For patients early in a fertility conversation — where anxiety, uncertainty, and the emotional load of monthly cycles are often the dominant experience — that tone is a legitimate clinical consideration alongside any service line.

Considering At-Home Insemination?

Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option for patients without a known fertility diagnosis — including single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who simply want to try a few cycles before scheduling a clinical workup.

At-home insemination kits from MakeAMom arrive in plain, discreet packaging, include step-by-step instructions for donor or partner sperm, and can be reused across cycles. Many patients pair them with basic preconception work at a practice like Wendover — a preconception visit, prenatal vitamins, rubella/varicella immunity check, thyroid screening, and cycle tracking — so that when they are ready for a clinical cycle, the diagnostic groundwork is already complete.

If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (6 months if over 35), or a clinician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.

When to Step Up to an REI

Based on guidance summarized by ASRM and consistent with peer-reviewed practice in PubMed-indexed literature, it is reasonable to ask Wendover for an REI referral when any of the following apply:

• Three or more unsuccessful IUI cycles, particularly when medicated
• A known diagnosis of stage III-IV endometriosis
• Tubal occlusion identified on HSG or prior pelvic surgery affecting the tubes
• Severely abnormal semen analysis (post-wash motile counts below IUI thresholds)
• AMH or antral follicle counts suggesting diminished ovarian reserve
• Two or more clinical pregnancy losses
• Any known chromosomal or single-gene condition where PGT-M may apply
• A personal request for egg freezing, donor eggs, donor embryos, or gestational surrogacy

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Wendover OB/GYN & Infertility offer IVF?

No. Wendover is a general OB/GYN practice with an in-house basic fertility program — not a reproductive endocrinology clinic. The practice offers infertility evaluation, ovulation induction, and intrauterine insemination (IUI) in-house. Patients who require IVF, ICSI, PGT-A, egg freezing, donor eggs, donor embryos, or gestational surrogacy are typically referred to a board-certified REI such as Carolinas Fertility Institute, Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Fertility, or Shady Grove Fertility's Greensboro/Raleigh offices. SART-member status for any U.S. REI clinic can be verified at sartcorsonline.com.

When should I choose IUI over IVF?

IUI is typically the right first active-treatment step for unexplained infertility, mild male-factor infertility, ovulatory dysfunction responding to oral medications, and donor-sperm cycles for single parents by choice or same-sex couples. It is less expensive and less invasive than IVF, and ASRM-aligned practice generally recommends three to four IUI cycles before escalating. IVF is the better first-line option for severe male-factor infertility, bilateral tubal disease, advanced maternal age with diminished ovarian reserve, or when PGT-M or donor-egg is required. A reproductive endocrinologist can help decide which pathway fits your diagnosis.

Does North Carolina insurance cover infertility care at Wendover?

North Carolina does not mandate insurance coverage for infertility diagnosis or treatment. Most NC patients pay out of pocket for IUI and IVF unless they have an employer-sponsored fertility benefit through Progyny, Carrot, Maven, or WINFertility. Routine OB/GYN visits, pelvic ultrasound, and evaluation of related conditions like PCOS or abnormal bleeding are generally covered under standard gynecologic benefits. See Fertlo's fertility insurance mandates by state guide for broader context and confirm plan-specific coverage with your insurer.

Which North Carolina REI clinics does Wendover typically refer to?

Triad-area patients requiring IVF or advanced ART commonly receive referrals to Carolinas Fertility Institute (Winston-Salem and Greensboro offices), Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Fertility, Shady Grove Fertility's Greensboro and Raleigh offices, or Reproductive Endocrinology Associates of Charlotte. Fertlo maintains an independent list in the North Carolina fertility clinics directory. Always confirm current SART membership and CDC-reported outcomes before selecting an REI.
