Meet Dr. Carrell
“Every embryo matters. Every patient matters. And every day, we work to give each family the very best chance we can.”
For Dr. Carrell, helping people build families is both a scientific pursuit and a deeply personal mission. As one of the nation’s most experienced reproductive laboratory scientists, he has spent his career working at the intersection of genetics, male infertility, and the rapidly advancing technologies that make modern IVF possible.
He has dedicated decades to understanding the complexities of reproduction – especially the role of genetics, male-factor infertility, and embryo development. His work has contributed to major advances in IVF and andrology, shaping the standards used in clinics around the world. Patients may never see all the work taking place behind the scenes in the lab, but they benefit from his lifelong commitment to precision, safety, and innovation every single day.
At the Center for Reproductive Medicine, Dr. Carrell oversees the scientific and embryology teams that guide embryos from their earliest moments of development. He believes patients deserve absolute confidence in the lab that’s caring for their embryos, which is why quality, transparency, and evidence-based practice guide everything he does. He has helped build a laboratory environment rooted in meticulous attention to detail, rigorous protocols, and the highest possible standards for embryo care.
Science isn’t the only part of the story for Dr. Carrell. He understands how emotional and vulnerable the fertility journey can be and sees his role as helping deliver hope – not promises, but possibilities. Many patients never meet the embryologists and lab professionals who have such a profound hand in their treatment, yet he views this work as a privilege.
He is also passionate about education and collaboration. Throughout his career, he has trained future scientists, published extensively, and lectured internationally on topics such as sperm DNA integrity, genetics in fertility care, and advancements in embryology. He stays closely connected to the latest research so CRM patients benefit from the most current, proven science – real data and outcomes over hype and trends.
What Dr. Carrell loves most about CRM is its patient-centered mission. As part of a physician-owned practice, the scientific decisions made in the lab are guided entirely by what is best for patients. He works daily with an exceptional team of embryologists, andrologists, and laboratory specialists who share his belief that compassion, precision, and integrity must guide every step of care.
Hobbies
Outside of CRM, he enjoys mentoring and spending time with his family. He is also a passionate runner, having completed more than 400 marathons worldwide.
