About Positive Steps Fertility

Premier fertility clinics in Mississippi and Louisiana, led by nationally recognized infertility specialist Dr. Preston Parry and built on innovation, compassion, and results.

Leading Fertility Clinic in Mississippi and Louisiana

Positive Steps Fertility is a premier fertility clinic serving patients across Mississippi and Louisiana, with infertility centers in Madison, Gulfport, Starkville, Hattiesburg, Shreveport, Slidell, and Monroe. Our mission is simple: remove barriers to parenthood through advanced reproductive medicine, clear communication, and deeply personalized fertility care.

Founded by Dr. Preston Parry, Nationally Recognized REI Specialist

Founded by Dr. Preston Parry, a nationally recognized reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) specialist, Positive Steps Fertility combines academic leadership with real-world clinical innovation. Dr. Parry previously served as Chief of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where he built a reputation for complex case expertise and compassionate patient care before establishing Positive Steps Fertility in 2017.

Dr. Parry’s Leadership in Fertility Innovation and the Parryscope®

Today, Dr. Parry is widely regarded as a thought leader in reproductive medicine. He is the inventor of the patented Parryscope®, a breakthrough fertility testing approach designed to answer critical questions about female fertility in a single, gentle office visit.

The Parryscope® method evaluates tubal openness, ovarian reserve, and uterine health, often replacing more invasive and uncomfortable diagnostic procedures.

Comprehensive, Patient-Centered Fertility Care

At Positive Steps Fertility, we believe fertility care should be both advanced and understandable. Our team includes reproductive endocrinologists, embryologists, nurses, and support staff who work together to guide patients through every stage of their journey, from initial evaluation to advanced treatment.

We also believe that exceptional fertility care must be delivered with genuine compassion and human connection. We treat every patient like family, and Southern hospitality is reflected in everything we do, from the way we communicate and listen, to the way we support patients. Our goal is to create an environment where patients feel respected, cared for, and never alone on their fertility journey.

Individualized Fertility Treatment Plans

Every treatment plan is highly individualized at Positive Steps Fertility. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to fertility care. We begin by listening carefully, conducting comprehensive fertility testing, and then developing a clear, step-by-step roadmap tailored to each patient’s unique medical needs, reproductive goals, emotional considerations, and timeline.

This personalized approach allows us to align treatment strategies more precisely with each patient’s underlying diagnosis and circumstances, which can improve efficiency, reduce unnecessary interventions, and support better overall outcomes on the positive path to building a family.

Transparent Communication and Patient Education

Our philosophy is grounded in transparency, education, and timely access to care. Patients receive clear, straightforward explanations of all diagnostic findings, treatment options, success rates, and potential risks so they can make fully informed decisions with confidence. As Dr. Parry often says, “You shouldn’t need a medical degree to understand your health.”

Unlike other fertility clinics that rely primarily on patient portal messaging systems, we prioritize direct and responsive communication. Our patients are provided with direct access to our clinical team, including personal cell phone contact for timely questions and urgent needs. This approach ensures faster answers, fewer delays, and a more connected care experience throughout the fertility journey.

Dr. Preston Parry’s National and International Leadership

Dr. Parry’s leadership extends beyond the fertility clinic. He actively contributes to national and international advancements in reproductive medicine through speaking engagements, academic publications, and committee service with major organizations in the field of fertility and reproductive health. His work continues to shape modern fertility care standards in the United States and abroad.

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!”
