Francisco Arredondo-Soberon is a reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist.[1]

Education and teaching

Francisco Arredondo-Soberon was born and raised in Matamoros, Mexico.[2] He attended the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey Medical School, where as a student, he became interested in the use of in vitro fertilization. He then spent time researching in Mexico City, as well as working as a physician at the Hospital de Nutrición Salvador Zubirán. He later moved to New York City, where he worked at Mount Sinai Hospital, and lived in various US cities before settling in San Antonio. During this time he also completed a sub-specialty program in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the University of Pennsylvania and an Masters in Public Health from Harvard University.[3] From 1998 to 2002 he served as a clinical professor at the University of Kentucky, and then served as an assistant professor for four years at Case Western University.[4] He has published medical articles in journals including Fertility and Sterility, Neurochemistry International, the International Journal of Cancer, Neurotoxicity Research, Free Radical Biology & Medicine, and the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.[5]

Reproductive career

Arredondo is the founder and medical director of the Reproductive Medicine Associates of Texas (RMA of Texas) and Smartivf (stylized as SMARTIVF),[6][7] which has offices in San Antonio, Austin, and McAllen, Texas.[3] He provides medical fertility treatments[8][9] as well as alternative medical treatments such as acupuncture.[10] This includes gender selection policies that Arredondo has referred to as “family balancing”, which has been mentioned by some media outlets as controversial.[11] Psychology Today reported on the environment of RMA as focusing on producing positive psychological conditions to aid in treatments. He has also made efforts to make the process of infertility more accessible to low income populations.[12]
