About
Scott & White Clinic-Temple is the reproductive endocrinology and infertility practice of Baylor Scott & White Health in Temple, Texas, today listed as Baylor Scott & White Clinic - Temple Reproductive Endocrinology. Its roots lie in the Scott & White clinic and hospital founded in Temple in 1897; Scott & White merged with Baylor Health Care System in 2013 to form one of the largest nonprofit health systems in Texas.
The clinic sits on the third floor of the Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Temple campus at 2401 S. 31st Street, alongside the Temple OB/GYN and maternal-fetal medicine teams. It is led by Gordon W. Bates, MD, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist who previously directed the REI fellowship and division at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Baylor Scott & White's fertility service line covers IVF with ICSI and preimplantation genetic testing, intrauterine insemination, embryo and egg freezing, egg, sperm and embryo donation, treatment for gestational carrier arrangements, and family building for single parents, with care coordinated with the system's obstetric and genetic services.
