Our co-founders

About Fertilys

Founded in 2013 by Dr. Pierre Miron and Moncef Benkhalifa, Fertilys was born from the desire to create an assisted reproduction center with a human-centered approach, where scientific innovation supports family aspirations. For over ten years, our clinic has supported hundreds of couples on their journey to parenthood.

Our mission is to offer rigorous, ethical, and personalized medical support to each couple, focusing on clinical excellence, technological innovation, and, most importantly, a human approach. At Fertilys, every family project is welcomed with kindness, respect, and commitment.

Two Committed Pioneers

Dr. Pierre Miron is an internationally recognized physician in the field of fertility. In over 30 years of his career, he has founded three in vitro fertilization programs in Quebec, actively contributing to the growth of assisted reproductive technology in the province. Deeply committed to infertile couples, he is also a co-founder of the Quebec Infertility Association (ACIQ).

Moncef Benkhalifa, a reproductive biologist and cytogeneticist, graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in Clermont-Ferrand. After working at the Mérieux Foundation, he founded ATL, a research laboratory in reproductive medicine and genetics. By uniting his scientific vision with that of Dr. Miron, he helped make Fertilys a reference center for fertility in Quebec.

This model aims to offer a more personalized care experience , consistent and reassuring support, by focusing on the continuity of care and the quality of the relationship between you and your care team.

What are the benefits for your journey?

  1. A lasting bond of trust:  You'll be followed by the same familiar faces who know your history, needs, and preferences.
  2. Fluid and simplified communication:  Fewer intermediaries, less repetition, more clarity.
  3. Human-centered support:  Your care team is there to support, inform, and reassure you at every step.
  4. Efficient care:  Optimized coordination of appointments, examinations, and follow-ups.
  5. Tailored care:  A targeted approach adapted to your unique situation, thanks to a team that truly knows you.
This small-team approach allows each of our patients to feel heard, supported, and fully cared for, which, in fertility, makes all the difference.

Fertility affects many couples who may feel isolated, as the topic still remains relatively taboo in our society. My role is to reassure our patients and guide them through the emotional roller coaster of assisted reproductive techniques.
