RMACT Fertility Practice Has Two Castle Connolly “Top Docs” of Fairfield County
Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) January 30, 2014 -- Two of the Board Certified reproductive endocrinologists of Reproductive Medicine Associates of Connecticut (RMACT) – Dr. Spencer Richlin, Surgical Director and Fertility Specialist, and Dr. Shaun Williams, fertility specialist – have been honored by their peers by being rated “Top Docs.” Castle Connolly’s 2014 list of Fairfield County’s Top Doctors is published in the January/February issues of Fairfield Living, Greenwich, New Canaan-Darien, Westport and Stamford magazines, all of which are published by Moffly Media and are on stands now.
“My patients, whether they are couples, oncology patients or single women, all have the same dream – to have a family,” says Dr. Richlin, who is the Division Chief of Reproductive Endocrinology and Fertility at Norwalk Hospital along with his responsibilities at RMACT. “This intuitive human need is powerful, and I’m proud to help them have the families they dream of.”
Moffly Media’s list is compiled by the renowned healthcare research firm Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., which conducts a rigorous, peer-reviewed assessment of local doctors by their peers.
“This award speaks to the hard work and care of our entire team,” says Dr. Williams, who joined the RMACT team in 2012. “I’m proud of our team’s success rates and that we are helping patients to improve their overall health through nutrition, stress management, and of course advanced medical treatment.”
Dr. Richlin, who made the Castle Connolly list for the third consecutive year, is a partner with RMACT. He is a member of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) and of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). He has published several articles and is on the writing committee for the upcoming 2015 Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility PROLOG sponsored by the ACOG.
Dr. Richlin received his undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of California at Berkeley, and his medical degree from the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine. He completed two internships, one in Emergency Medicine and one in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Dr. Richlin served his residency at Stamford Hospital in Stamford Connecticut from 1995-1999, where he was named Berlex Best Teaching Resident. He then completed his subspecialty fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia.

He conducted his internship and residency at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where he received the Berlex Labs Resident Teaching Awards. Dr. Williams did a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at The Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School. Dr. Williams has been published numerous times, and has presented five of his abstracts at American Society of Reproductive Medicine’s annual conference for professionals in the infertility field.
