Meet Dr. Dorothy Roach and the HART Fertility Clinic team supporting Houston families with physician-led fertility care, an accredited on-site IVF laboratory, and coordinated guidance from consultation through treatment. Know the people behind the plan before your first visit.
For patients researching Dr. Roach fertility care, the current HART team is led by Dr. Dorothy J. Roach. HART identifies her as board-certified in Reproductive Endocrinology and Obstetrics & Gynecology, with more than 30 years of experience guiding patients through complex fertility decisions.
Janna Patillo, R.N., is listed by HART as its IVF Nurse Coordinator. Nursing coordination matters during treatment because medication instructions, monitoring schedules, procedure preparation, and patient questions often need clear communication between visits.
Fertility care extends beyond the exam room. HART’s current team includes laboratory director Weirong Shang, Ph.D., H.C.L.D., certified by the American Board of Bioanalysis, and laboratory supervisor Ling Ai, M.S. Their work supports the accredited on-site IVF laboratory that keeps clinical and laboratory care connected.
A fertility plan can feel more personal when you know who is reading the history, watching the laboratory details, and answering the questions between milestones. Explore HART Fertility Clinic’s current team and notice whose experience speaks most directly to what you are trying to understand. You do not need to arrive with a perfect plan; you only need a starting point and a team willing to listen closely enough to build from it.
We want to let you know about an unexpected situation that has temporarily affected our Woodlands office. Over the weekend, our suite experienced significant water damage caused by flooding from an upstairs tenant. While this was certainly not how we planned to start the week, we are grateful that the building's design and construction ensured that our laboratory facilities and cryostorage systems were not affected by this incident. All embryos, eggs, sperm, and reproductive tissues remain safe and secure, and laboratory operations continue uninterrupted.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We understand that fertility treatment and family-building journeys already come with enough stress, and we appreciate your patience as we work through this temporary challenge. Our team acted quickly to minimize disruptions to patient care by accommodating patients at our Kingwood office as needed. Beginning Wednesday, we will resume seeing patients in our temporary Woodlands location in Suite 240, located upstairs in the same building. Our phones, patient portal, laboratory services, and clinical teams remain fully operational, and we are committed to providing the same compassionate care and personal attention you have come to expect from HART Fertility Clinic.
If you have an upcoming appointment and are unsure of the location, please contact our office and we will be happy to assist you. Thank you for your understanding, flexibility, and support. We are incredibly grateful for our patients and look forward to welcoming you to our temporary location while restoration work is completed.
With appreciation,
The HART Fertility Clinic Team
