Ursula Balthazar, MD

About

Most fertility profiles lead with training. The record for Ursula Balthazar, MD, leads with a signature: the SART 2023 final report for Aspire Fertility Institute San Antonio lists this clinician as Medical Director of that reporting entity, and lists the same name as the person who verified the submission. Whoever verifies a clinic’s numbers is, in practice, the person accountable for them, and this puts that accountability inside the treatment team rather than at a marketing agency.

The tenure claim is the clinic’s own: more than 14 years practicing as a reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist. Our notes convert that into a start date of about 2012, which is arithmetic on a marketing statement rather than a documented appointment, and no training institution, fellowship program or board certification line appears anywhere in the material we hold.

The working model matches Aspire’s text for its San Antonio specialists: cycle planning and oversight carried out in close work with the laboratory director, and the relationship with the patient’s own OB/GYN maintained through treatment. Two San Antonio addresses appear in the practice record, the Stone Oak site with the IVF laboratory and the Alamo Heights office, so appointments can fall on either side of the city.

Clinical Expertise

• IVF: stimulation planning through monitoring, retrieval and transfer, with the profile describing end-to-end oversight coordinated with the laboratory director.
• Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT): genetic screening of embryos before transfer, a listed area rather than an inferred one.
• Fertility preservation: the third listed area, covering patients who want eggs or embryos stored before a timeline closes for medical or personal reasons.
• Donor egg programs: the fourth listed area, which in practice means matching, cycle synchronization and the legal paperwork that comes with gametes from a third party.
• Coordination with your OB/GYN: the role description names maintaining that relationship, so the referring obstetric practice stays informed during a cycle instead of after it.
• Clinic-level data governance: the Medical Director role recorded in the SART submission is administrative and clinical oversight of the reporting unit, not a treatment technique, and it is the unusual item on this page.

Why Choose Dr. Ursula Balthazar

The data signer is the treating physician. Ask any clinic who stands behind its reported numbers. Here the SART report answers the question, because the medical director named on the filing is also the clinician whose practice record this page documents.

A subspecialty career stated in years, with the limits stated too. The clinic says more than 14 years in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. No training institution or board certification appears in our sources, so the tenure claim is the durable part of this record and the credential detail has to come from the office.

Four listed practice areas, including third-party reproduction. IVF, PGT, preservation and donor egg programs sit in one profile, which is the combination a patient needs when a plan may escalate across those options.

Two offices. The practice record lists the Stone Oak laboratory site and the Alamo Heights office, so a patient on either side of San Antonio has the same clinician available.

Professional Affiliations

The affiliation evidence in our sources is the SART entry itself: Medical Director of the Aspire Fertility Institute San Antonio reporting entity and verifier of the clinic’s 2023 final report submission. Nothing else survives into our record — no board certification statement, no society memberships, no training institutions, no licensure numbers. Two cautions on what that SART entry covers. The report is clinic-reported data for a reporting entity whose San Antonio cycle figures are filed at network level, so results in it belong to the unit rather than to a single street address, and this page makes no outcome claim about an individual. And a medical director title describes who is accountable for the data and the practice; it does not by itself certify any particular treatment outcome.

Suitable For

• Patients who weigh data accountability heavily, and want the physician signing the SART submission inside the treating team
• IVF patients adding embryo genetic testing to the plan
• Patients planning fertility preservation, medical or elective
• Patients building a family through a donor egg program, where the legal and coordination steps matter as much as the cycle
• Patients in the Alamo Heights or Stone Oak areas, the two addresses this record associates with the practice
• Patients whose OB/GYN stays involved in cycle decisions and wants a direct line to the fertility team
