Helping You Build the Family You've Been Dreaming Of

Brittany Roberts, Nurse Practitioner in Madison, Mississippi

Caring for others has been my world since 2011, when I started as a med-surg nurse in Baytown, Texas. While there, I had a very close friend go through the IVF process. After helping her with her injections for IVF, going to doctor’s appointments with her, and seeing her babies born from the process, I knew that my dream job was to help others with infertility like my friend.

In 2015, I moved back to Mississippi to be closer to family. Well, guess what? I got the dream job of being a fertility nurse! There is nothing quite like being there for someone on their journey to parenthood. After realizing how much I loved the fertility field and while still working with Dr. Parry, I decided to go back to school to become a nurse practitioner so that I was able to do even more at the clinic. I completed the RN-MSN program at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in May of 2020 and am now certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner.

I absolutely love my patients and view them as family! My number one goal is to give them as much knowledge as possible about their fertility in a way that is simple for them to understand. When I am not at my work home, I enjoy spending time with my two kids, Claire and John Ryan, along with our extended family. Being outdoors and reading are a couple of things I like to do in my free time. I look forward to being by your side during the most rewarding journey of your life.

Amber Hutchison, Nurse Practitioner in Gulfport, Mississippi and Slidell, Louisiana

My journey began as a registered nurse in 2016 where I gained experience across various healthcare settings, but it was working in postpartum care that I found my passion for women’s health. Witnessing the pure joy of successful pregnancies and deliveries prompted a desire in me to be on the frontline of helping others achieve their dreams of starting a family.

After five fulfilling years as an RN, I made the decision to further my education and specialize in women’s health. Now, as a nurse practitioner, I’m honored to be part of the journey with individuals and couples as they navigate the highs and lows of fertility treatments. Each person’s story is unique, and I’m dedicated to providing personalized care, empathy, and unwavering support every step of the way. This isn’t just a job for me—it’s a calling, a chance to make a real difference in people’s lives. I can’t wait to bring my enthusiasm, expertise, and compassion to the table as we work together to make some babies and create beautiful families. Let’s embark on this incredible journey together!

Amanda Owens, Nurse Practitioner in Shreveport, Louisiana

Hey! I’m Amanda Owens — I’m a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner who has a heart for fertility, and I’m here to make sure you don’t feel like you’re navigating the wild world of fertility alone. I’m also a St. Jude mom, which means I’ve got experience in juggling the really heavy stuff while still trying to keep the laughter going (because seriously, if we can’t laugh, we might just cry). I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Northwestern State University. The fertility journey is a wild ride, but my goal is to make it a bit more manageable — and hopefully even a little fun. After all, if we can find the humor in it, that’s half the battle, right?

My biggest focus has always been loving people in their most vulnerable stages of life. With a mix of science-backed strategies and good old-fashioned empathy, I’m here to make sure you feel informed, supported, and understood every step of the way. No question is too small, no concern is too silly — I’ve heard it all, and I’m here for it. When I’m not helping future families navigate their fertility journeys, you’ll find me cheering on my tiny humans at the ballpark, stopping them from crashing their dirt bikes, supporting other St. Jude families, or curled up on my porch with a good book.

Fertility care is personal, and I’m here to make sure you feel like you have a partner in the process, with a side of laughs to keep things light along the way.

The stories behind the little miracles

“Our little miracle baby! We cannot begin to express in words how thankful we are for Dr. Parry and his staff! After struggling for nearly 15 years, Dr. Parry was able to help assist us with IUI to conceive our little miracle baby. We highly recommend Dr. Parry to anyone losing hope for starting a family. THANK YA’LL from the bottom of our hearts for everything! We love y’all!

“Instantly loved him and his staff! After over 3 years of infertility and treatments, we sought Dr. Parry for a second opinion. We instantly loved him and his staff, who made us feel at home. We were given hope after preparing ourselves to give up, and after only 2 IUIs with him (ended up being our 10th total), we are finally expecting for the first time ever. They’ve been nothing but gracious and accommodating. We are forever grateful!”

“So incredibly nice and encouraging! Dr. Parry and his staff were so incredibly nice and encouraging during our testing/conceiving era for our baby girl. I have comfort in my heart knowing that we have such an amazing team located in MS which brings joy and hope to so many families. You guys helped us conceive our rainbow baby. You will never know the gratitude her father and I have for your clinic.”

“He made our dreams come true! Dr. Parry and his team are absolutely the best! One year ago today I went in for my third IUI and I now have a 3 month old beautiful baby girl. Dr. Parry is so smart and very passionate about what he does. He has the sweetest nurses who make you feel special every visit. We tried for 9 years to get pregnant on our own with no luck and I was pregnant within 5 months of meeting Dr. Parry. He made our dreams come true!”
