Twenty-five years into practice, Dr. Larry Andrew still reads every new study he can find on reproductive medicine. For him, staying current isn't a requirement — it's a promise he made to every patient who walks through his door.

A Career Built on Continual Learning

Reproductive medicine is one of the fastest-moving fields in healthcare — new protocols, better lab techniques, and improved success rates emerge every year. Dr. Andrew has built his entire career around a simple standard: never stop studying. He regularly reviews new fertility research, attends continuing medical education courses, and looks for ways to bring the latest evidence-based techniques into his own clinic, from refinements in embryo culture to improved approaches for patients with complex fertility factors.

That commitment is why East Bay Fertility's protocols today look different than they did a decade ago — and why they'll keep evolving. Dr. Andrew has said that the moment a doctor stops learning is the moment patients stop getting his best.

A Family Man First

Outside the clinic, Dr. Andrew is a husband, father of four, and grandfather to two grandchildren. He often says that raising his own children gave him a deeper understanding of what his patients are hoping for — and that becoming a grandfather made that calling feel even more personal. Helping build families isn't abstract to him; it's the same joy he's experienced firsthand, and it's part of what keeps him motivated after 25 years in practice.

Faith and Purpose

Dr. Andrew is a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and his faith plays a central role in how he approaches both his family and his medical practice. He has often spoken about how his beliefs around the importance of family have shaped his life's work — finding purpose in helping couples experience the same blessing of children that has meant so much to his own family. That same faith informs the compassion and patience he brings to every patient relationship, especially during a process that can be emotionally difficult.

What It Means for Patients

For patients at East Bay Fertility, all of this adds up to a doctor who brings more than clinical skill to the exam room. Dr. Andrew's ongoing pursuit of the latest fertility research means patients benefit from continually refined, evidence-based care. His own experience as a father and grandfather means he understands, on a personal level, what's at stake. And his faith and family values shape a practice built around patience, compassion, and genuine care — not just for the outcome, but for the people going through it.
