What is Pelex?

Pelex is an online fertility practice of  Dr. Erin Wolff, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist. We offer telehealth services, diagnostic testing through local facilities or home testing kits and prescription services.

Why TeleHealth for fertility services?

Most diagnostic screening and management of fertility patients can be done remotely and does not require in-office visits. That means no taking multiple days off from work, waiting in line for potentially embarrassing tests, or waiting months to be seen by a physician. Unlike most fertility specialists, we can follow your journey wherever it goes, even if that leads you to a different specialist.

How do I make an appointment?

You can get scheduled on our home page or browse our services on our “Services” tab of our webpage. Each service will have a brief description of it and who it is for.
