Faces of Columbia 2026: The Face of Fertility

By Inside Columbia

Dr. Shvetha Zarek’s career as a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist spans more than 15 years and is grounded in clinical excellence, better affordability and deeply personal care. Over time, her focus has expanded beyond clinical outcomes to include improving access and innovation.

As founder and medical IVF director of leading innovative clinic Arbor Fertility™, the most rewarding part of Dr. Zarek’s job is being a part of people’s parenthood dreams coming true — and the babies, of course.

“There is nothing more meaningful than seeing a patient hold their baby after a long, often difficult journey and knowing our team played a role in that outcome,” Dr. Zarek says. “Every Arbor Baby represents resilience, trust and the power of compassionate care.”

Dr. Zarek is proud to be a part of the Columbia community and to provide lower intervention options. Arbor Fertility™ evaluates pricing with discounts for healthcare workers, veterans, first responders and educators. Dr. Zarek and her team pride themselves in expanding access with bundled costs, introduction of needle-free IVF and innovations in male fertility treatments. Devoted to innovation and patient experience, Arbor Fertility™ makes the dream of parenthood more accessible than ever.
