Courtney Failor, MD

About

The line Courtney Failor, MD, chose for her clinic profile is not about medicine: “Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.” The training behind it runs on one track. She took both her bachelor’s degree and her medical degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, completed obstetrics and gynecology residency at UT Health Science Center at San Antonio in 2014, stayed on the UT faculty as a clinical instructor, and then finished fellowship training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the same San Antonio program.

She is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and again in reproductive endocrinology and infertility — two certifications, both stated in the clinic’s profile text. The part of the job she singles out is not a procedure. She says she enjoys educating couples and helping them build a plan that fits their situation rather than a default protocol.

Her practice footprint needs care when you book. Aspire’s title for her names two cities, San Antonio and McAllen. Her own profile page does not display an office list, so the location record behind this page carries the San Antonio sites the network publishes — the Stone Oak area address that also holds her Google practice listing, plus Alamo Heights — and McAllen. That listing’s rating, 4.9 from 64 reviews, belongs to the office rather than to her as an individual. Ask which city and which address a given appointment sits in.

Clinical Expertise

• IVF: stimulation planning, monitoring, retrieval and transfer, in the same oversight model Aspire publishes for its San Antonio clinicians, where the treating physician works through the cycle with the laboratory director and keeps the patient’s OB/GYN informed.
• Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT): listed as one of her treatment areas, which means embryo screening comes up as a design decision in the cycle rather than as an afterthought.
• Egg freezing: her third named area, listed in the source record next to IVF and PGT. The clinic publishes no detail on how many eggs a freezing cycle typically yields here, so treat that as a question for the consultation.
• Resident-level obstetric and gynecologic medicine: a physician certified in OB/GYN before subspecializing evaluates the underlying gynecologic picture, not only the fertility numbers.
• Two-city practice: San Antonio and McAllen, which puts a reproductive endocrinologist inside the Rio Grande Valley corridor instead of requiring northbound travel.

Why Choose Dr. Courtney Failor

Two board certifications, named outright. Reproductive endocrinology and infertility plus obstetrics and gynecology appear word for word in her profile text, which is the fullest credential statement in the material we hold for her.

She taught the material before practicing it. A clinical instructor post on the UT faculty between residency and fellowship usually produces a physician who explains the reasoning, which matches what she says she enjoys about the field.

An option if you live south of San Antonio. McAllen appears in her title alongside San Antonio, so a Rio Grande Valley patient has a named reproductive endocrinologist at a clinic in the same city rather than one that requires relocation of every visit northward.

Education-first framing that she chose herself. Her profile names couple education and personalized planning as the rewarding part of the work; ask how much consultation time that actually buys you.

Professional Affiliations

Our record for this clinician carries her board certifications in obstetrics and gynecology and in reproductive endocrinology and infertility, with the certifying body not named in the material we hold, and no society memberships listed. She practices under the Aspire Fertility banner in San Antonio and McAllen; the McAllen clinic and the San Antonio clinics report through their own network entities, so cycle results in our sources are filed at clinic-network level rather than by individual physician. Our notes record the San Antonio program for her fellowship, and no further institutional detail appears on her Aspire profile.

Suitable For

• San Antonio and McAllen-area patients who want a reproductive endocrinologist without long-distance travel for monitoring visits
• Patients weighing PGT as part of an IVF plan, where the physician’s own treatment areas include embryo screening
• Egg-freezing patients, whether the plan is elective or driven by a diagnosis
• Complex gynecologic histories, where an OB/GYN-certified subspecialist can read the underlying condition as well as the fertility workup
• Patients who want the plan explained: her stated emphasis is teaching couples how to choose, which suits anyone who reads consent forms before signing them
