Dr Antonio Rodrigues – Fertility Specialist – Sandton

Dr Antonio Rodrigues serves as a Fertility Specialist at Intercare Medfem Hospital in Sandton. After earning his MBChB from the University of the Witwatersrand in 1979, he completed a Fellowship in Obstetrics and Gynaecology (FCOG) in 1989 at the same institution. Moreover, he undertook an MBA from Henley Management College, London, in 2000, researching health maintenance strategies for knowledge-based workers.

In addition, Dr Rodrigues co-founded and directs the Medfem Fertility Clinic, where he integrates cutting-edge reproductive technologies with holistic patient care. Furthermore, he pioneered research on Time Urgency Stress in infertility, assessing over 4,000 patients. Consequently, he co-developed an online stress-management course and app (TUPS) to optimise treatment success.

Meanwhile, his decades of clinical, academic, and entrepreneurial expertise enable him to tailor fertility protocols precisely. Thus, patients benefit from both his technical mastery and his compassionate, patient-centred approach.
