Dr. Bush, who has been instrumental in building Conceptions into one of the leading fertility centers in Colorado and across the U.S., will be stepping down as its medical director but will continue to practice at the fertility center. Robert A. Greene, MD, FACOG, who has been a practicing physician at Conceptions for the last eight years, has been named the new Medical Director.
“Our team at Conceptions looks forward to joining the RMA family, a partnership that will strengthen and build on our ability to offer the highest level of reproductive care,” says Dr. Greene. “All our providers at Conceptions and RMA share the same focus and passion for doing everything we can to help our patients successfully grow their families.”
