Dr. Joseph Stanford, MD

He has a great demeanor and was able to help us navigate some issues after my girlfriend and I had been trying for a year with no luck. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Stanford focuses on restoring male and female fertility utilizing natural reproductive technology (or NaPro). He approaches health from a holistic perspective, which I greatly appreciate. I struggled with dysmenorrhea and painful periods for 20 years. Dr. Stanford utilized my cycle tracking data, hormone panels from blood draws, and an assessment of my diet to determine that I needed to supplement progesterone and pursue endometriosis excision surgery. He then helped me determine which surgeon to work with based on most updated standard of care for my condition. He is kind, he listens, and to top it off, he is one of the key players in natural reproductive medical research. If you are struggling with fertility or cycle issues, I highly recommend working with him and his team!

I appreciated that he had telehealth video as an option. I feel like we were able to get to a solution for my issue. My mom had done IVF that failed and I’m sensitive to medicine so this was a great option for me. Dr Stanford referred me to education about identifying ovulation (I’m so busy with other young children, I didn’t have time to buy lutenizing hormone tests, but I was able to apply Creighton Model principles and identify ovulation). That helped us be more exact in our trying and so we got pregnant, but then I’ve had recurrent miscarriages (3), and so we tested hormones in blood and supplemented progesterone based on that data. The doctor and PA have all been very attentive and helpful. I think this is what I needed and was a good step where I was probably missing fertile windows and also needed some progesterone support once pregnan. The blood work is a cost and effort but I like that we have data that we’re basing things on. Same with the Creighton charting, it’s good data.

I have been working through infertility issues for 13 years and have worked with a handful of providers in the different places I’ve lived, have had healthy pregnancies and some miscarriages. I have learned a lot about my body and my condition over the years but still struggle to conceive and keep the pregnancies. Over the past 6 years I experienced 3 miscarriages trying to get pregnant, so I began working with Dr. Stanford to see if he could help. And he did! We got pregnant a few months later doing one of the treatments he suggested. Unfortunately that ended in a loss as well, but I conceived again (this time surprisingly without treatment) a few months later and Dr. Stanford’s team carefully monitored my labs during almost my ENTIRE pregnancy (and didn’t ask for any payment for it). That was amazing to me. They are honest and experienced and so kind and definitely so helpful. And now we have our sweet baby boy! We are so grateful!!

I can't recommend Dr. Stanford high enough. I began seeing him in January of 2021. He was thorough with the questions he asked and information he gathered from me. He took the time to do the necessary lab work to determine why I was struggling with infertility. He appropriately diagnosed me and prescribed me the appropriate treatment. Within 2 months of my first visit I was pregnant. After the positive result on a pregnancy test, he continued to watch my hormone levels with blood work and did an early ultrasound in order to reduce the risk of miscarriage. I felt confident through the entire experience that I was getting the best care possible. Dr. Stanford specializes in restorative reproductive medicine and natural women's health.

Dr. Stanford was the first physician to take me seriously about how awful my period was. In just 20 minutes, he could tell me what other doctors had not found in 7 years of symptoms. It was Endometriosis. He confirmed with a biopsy and then discussed all of my options with me. What I appreciated most was that he really looked at all of my symptoms and how they could be related. Taking a very conservative approach, he started with treating the worst of my endometriosis and PMS symptoms. He was spot on about what I needed and honestly, I have experienced symptom relief for the first time since I was 18 years old. I cannot express enough how incredible Dr. Stanford and his team are and I cannot recommend them more highly. I tell everyone I know to go to him. Even those who don't live in UT! Dr. Stanford and his team honestly gave me my life back. I didn't realise how much my symptoms had been controlling my life, but they were. The team is always there to answer my questions and to help.

Dr. Stanford is incredible. He has been so great helping my husband and I understand our infertility issues and how to navigate them. He’s very patient, understanding, and driven. I’ve sent two other friends his way to help as well. I cannot recommend him enough.

I've been seeing Dr. Stanford for over a year now and he's not only found the root cause of my infertility, but helped me regain my cycle so I'm prepared for my life, postpartum and beyond. I knew his bedside manner was great, but not until after seeing an OBGYN did I realize how amazing Stanford and his team really are. I feel so grateful to have made that first call to his office because I'm not just a number, I'm a patient that is truly cared for and that makes this whole process so much better. Infertility can feel lonely, it's disheartening, and you feel broken. Dr. Stanford helped me navigate my situation, found solutions and I was able to become pregnant. Words cannot describe the trust and appreciation I have.

Dr. Stanford uses restorative methods to treat infertility and recurring miscarriage. He works with your body instead of circumventing natural function, to aid and support normal conception. He is very accessible for answering questions when you are undergoing treatment.

Dr. Standford is thorough and empathetic when working with women and their partners. He goes out of his way to call you, email you and follow up with any questions or concerns you have. He is the best doctor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His staff is also great to work with and they all show you individualized care. I strongly recommend him if you are trying to conceive or have had multiple miscarriages.

Dr Stanford is an expert in dealing with infertility in a way that works cooperatively with your body through the use of NaPro technology, which is a restorative medicine approach to working with infertility and other issues. This respects woman's bodies and helps treat the underlying issues. It's beautiful and it works! He is so kind and really cares about you as a patient and works to help meet you where you are to accomplish your goals. Highly recommend!

I was recently referred to Dr. Stanford by my OB after an early miscarriage. I visited him at his South Jordan location and could not have been more pleased with my experience with him. Struggling with fertility is not an easy thing to deal with physically, mentally, or emotionally, but Dr. Stanford made me feel at ease and hopeful through the process. He never made me feel like he was rushed during our appointments and spent more time with me than I could have ever expected.

I suffered from Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder unknowingly for many years despite attempts to tell doctors I felt there was something wrong. Dr. Stanford was the first physician to seriously consider my complaints and make a medical diagnosis. His treatment gave me significant and much needed relief. He is kind, genuine and thorough and takes ample time with patients to truly understand their concerns.

I have been so pleased with Dr. Stanford at South Jordan and his expertise in helping me resolve my infertility. I respect that he takes a more natural approach to women's infertility and strives to get at the root of the problem. He is very thorough and takes the time to listen to me and all of my symptoms. He's very good at explaining problems or procedures. I've also been very happy with how quickly he responds to my inquiries. I finally feel like I'm making progress with my health!
