Dr. Shvetha Zarek, founder and medical IVF director of Arbor Fertility™, treasures the opportunity to help people begin the journey toward building their families. “As a reproductive Endocrinologist, I get to play detective — digging deep to uncover the ‘why’ behind each fertility challenge. But more than that, I get to walk alongside my patients, through heartbreak and hope, toward their version of success. That journey is sacred to me.”

Being named a “Woman to Watch” brings deeper meaning to her work, offering a platform to uplift not only her patients but the broader community. “This recognition isn’t just personal — it’s a platform. It means being intentional every day about giving back — both locally and within the fertility community at large,” Dr. Zarek says.

For those seeking to make an impact in medicine or entrepreneurship, Dr. Zarek shares simple, yet powerful advice: “Never doubt your ability to make a difference. Don’t listen to anyone who says you can’t do it —you absolutely can.”

Her passion for entrepreneurship stems from her own mother, a successful physician and business owner. “I believe the spark to be a woman in business for me started in utero! My mother is an infectious disease and internal medicine physician and built her own practice from scratch 40 year sago,” Dr. Zarek says. “She set the stage for my sister and I, who are both independent physician practice owners!”

No matter where you are on your fertility journey, Dr. Zarek and the team at Arbor Fertility™ are committed to delivering the highest level of care — with transparency, compassion and pricing that makes it possible for more families to grow. “Our values are to be unassuming, humble and stay true to our mission of providing more affordable fertility care,” Dr. Zarek says. “We have always remained true to this mission, and it has never led us down the incorrect path.”
