Clinical Leadership & Fertility Expertise
Before founding Positive Steps Fertility, Dr. Parry served for six years as Chief of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where he led advanced fertility care programs and treated patients with complex reproductive challenges.
His clinical focus includes:
- Infertility evaluation and treatment

Dr. Parry is known for combining high-level academic medicine with a deeply personalized approach to care, ensuring patients receive both scientific precision and compassionate guidance throughout their fertility journey.
Inventor of the Parryscope® Fertility Testing Technique
Dr. Parry is the creator of the Parryscope® fertility testing method, an innovative diagnostic approach designed to evaluate key factors in female fertility in a single, efficient office visit.
The Parryscope® approach was developed to address a major challenge in reproductive medicine: fertility testing that is often fragmented, delayed, or uncomfortable for patients. In contrast, the Parryscope® technique aims to deliver:
- Faster fertility evaluation
- Improved patient comfort
- Comprehensive reproductive insight
- Reduced need for multiple invasive tests
Traditional testing methods such as the Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) can be uncomfortable and time-consuming. Dr. Parry developed the Parryscope® approach in response to a clear clinical need for faster answers without sacrificing safety or diagnostic accuracy.
“Fertility testing often takes too long and doesn’t give clear answers. We needed something that gave fast results without hurting and still was accurate and safe.” — Dr. Preston Parry
This innovation reflects his broader mission: to improve both the science and the experience of fertility care.

Patient-Centered Philosophy of Care
Dr. Parry is known for his ability to translate complex medical information into clear, understandable language. His communication philosophy is rooted in respect, accessibility, and patient empowerment.
“You shouldn’t need a medical degree to understand your health.” — Dr. Preston Parry
He emphasizes transparency and education, ensuring patients feel informed and supported throughout every stage of care. His approach reflects a commitment to shared decision-making and emotional support as much as medical expertise.
Commitment to Families
Dr. Parry’s dedication to fertility medicine is deeply personal. His interest in women’s health began during his time at Cornell University when his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. That experience shaped his understanding of how medical uncertainty affects families and strengthened his commitment to compassionate care.
Today, that mission continues through his work helping patients build families of their own.
Dr. Parry and his wife, Dominika, are the proud parents of two children, Marcel and Lucas. His personal experience as a father has deepened his appreciation for the emotional significance of fertility care.
“Having children after becoming a fertility specialist helped me truly understand the importance of helping others have a family.” — Dr. Preston Parry
Personal Life & Values
Outside of medicine, Dr. Parry is an avid reader with broad intellectual curiosity, believing that new ideas can come from unexpected places. He values continuous learning, family time, and maintaining perspective on what matters most in life.
Dr. Parry’s Philosophy on Fertility and Family Building
“Fertility is hard, but don’t destroy a relationship in the process of trying to expand it. Get answers. Get support. Get peace. And find the right path for you.” — Dr. Preston Parry
He also encourages patients who achieve their family-building goals to support others earlier in their journey, emphasizing that infertility is not something anyone should face alone.
“Infertility doesn’t need to be one of the loneliest medical conditions. Pay it forward by offering support to others.” — Dr. Preston Parry
