Home » Your Fertility Experts

Let our fertility experts be your guide!

The Reproductive Medicine Group “fertility experts” consist of Sandy B. Goodman M.D., Betsy McCormick, M.D., Samuel Tarantino M.D., and Timothy R. Yeko M.D.  Four physicians are partners at The Reproductive Medicine Group and each doctor is board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology.  All of our fertility experts are Reproductive Endocrinologists and have their sub specialty board certification in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.

Our physicians are fertility experts because they diagnose and provide all appropriate treatment modalities to overcome infertility. They have specialty training in complex laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgical techniques. In addition, some of the physicians of The Reproductive Medicine Group provide care for hormonal disorders in children, adolescents and women of reproductive and menopausal age.

The partner physicians of The Reproductive Medicine Group have been serving the Tampa Bay area for over 38 years. They trained to be fertility and IVF doctors at medical facilities including Harvard, The University of Chicago, UCLA, and Johns Hopkins. All partner physicians have been selected by their peers as “ Best Doctors in America ” by US News and World Report, Top Fertility & IVF Doctors by Tampa Bay Metro Magazine, and were voted Top Doctors in fertility by local Tampa area physician peers, by survey results published in Tampa Magazine. We participate in the most current research programs designed to bring breakthrough treatment technologies to our practice and to our patients.
