Dr. Meivys Garcia Medical Director
Co-Owner, Markham Fertility Centre
Director, Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society
Having struggled with infertility myself, I can empathize with my patients. Whatever the outcome, I want my patients to come away from this process feeling proud of their journey.
Dr. Garcia joined Markham Fertility Centre in 2011, where she continues to provide state-of-the-art, exceptional care to her patients. She serves the MFC community as medical director and senior partner.
While she addresses all aspects of fertility care, her main interests are with exploring immunological disorders leading to subfertility and recurrent implantation failure.
She is the co-host of My Fertility Podcast, a popular weekly show where she shares education and inspiration for anyone on a journey to start a family.
Dr Garcia was elected to the Board of the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society (CFAS) where she plays a part in shaping the future of assisted reproduction in Canada. Her advocacy work has led her to currently hold a position on the advisory board of Conceivable Dreams and Fertility Friends Foundation.
More About Dr. Garcia
We asked each of our doctors some questions so you can learn a little more about who they are as people, not just as clinicians.
What motivates you?
I love to help people fight for what they want. Nothing inspires me more than the sheer determination of my patients. Being their cheerleader and being a witness to their journey is one of the greatest joys of my professional life.
What is your message to patients who are struggling to create their family?
Fertility care is not about a single treatment that either works or it doesn’t. Every set back is like a building block on that road to the life you dream of. I encourage patients to let go of the expectation of HOW and WHEN it is going to happen and embrace that possibility that it WILL happen, even if not exactly in the way that we once hoped. I know this is easier said than done. It took me years on my own journey to let go of that need to control things.
What would your patients say about you?
I am “touchy feely”. I like to know what my patients are FEELING. I ask about their emotions all the time. I don’t believe in feeling sad FOR them, I believe is feeling sad WITH them. Their tears touch me deeply, but they don’t scare me. I like to create a safe space where my patients can feel comfortable feeling all the feels.
