NaProTECHNOLOGY®
Medical and Surgical Consultants
NaProTECHNOLOGY® (Natural Procreative Technology) is a restorative women’s healthcare science that works in harmony with a woman’s natural reproductive system. Rooted in a deep respect for the dignity of the human person and the wisdom of the body, NaProTECHNOLOGY provides a comprehensive approach to understanding, monitoring, and caring for a woman’s gynecological and reproductive health.
Through advanced medical and surgical treatments, NaProTECHNOLOGY seeks to identify and address the underlying causes of reproductive and gynecological concerns while cooperating with the body’s natural processes. Rather than suppressing or bypassing fertility, it works to restore, support, and enhance a woman’s health while honoring the natural design of fertility.
Developed through more than thirty years of scientific research and clinical experience, NaProTECHNOLOGY has expanded our understanding of the normal and abnormal patterns of the menstrual cycle and fertility. By carefully studying a woman’s unique cycle biomarkers, healthcare providers are able to better evaluate concerns, provide individualized care, and support women and couples in achieving their health and fertility goals.

“I am an OBGYN with specialized training in NaProTechnology® to help women with reproductive/infertility issues. This approach uses advanced robotic surgery to find the root cause of underlying disease and then treats it at the source, resulting in a better outcome and lasting healing for the patient. I love nothing more than working with patients to discover the issue at hand and offer actual answers and healing solutions."
-Dr. Blaise Milburn

"New infertility patients often come to me with a previous diagnosis of 'unexplained infertility.' 'Unexplained infertility' is not a diagnosis. Infertility is a symptom of an underlying disease or problem. The job of the doctor is to find and treat the disease that is causing the infertility. For an OB/GYN to give a diagnosis of 'unexplained infertility' would be akin to a cardiologist giving a diagnosis of 'unexplained chest pain.' NaPro trained physicians seek to support and work with each woman’s cycle, rather than suppress or circumvent her body’s natural processes with artificial technologies or treatments."
-Dr. Blaise Milburn
“This is good medicine, this is what women need — this heals them, this heals their heart,”... -NaProTechnology not only restores health, but also assesses and addresses mental health, spiritual and marital health. For her part, she said she nurtures the maternal drive of her patients and reminds them that they are worthy of healing....NaProTechnology sends a message, she said, that leaves women feeling empowered and loved: I’m trusting you to tell me what’s going on with your body so I can help work with your body.”

“I love sharing information about the Creighton System and NaProTechnology with women and couples, especially when their experience with health care providers has left them with unanswered questions and frustrations.
The Creighton Model Fertility Care System (CrMS) is a system of Fertility Appreciation that seeks to reveal the dignity and beauty of the human person in accordance with natural law. It is the foundation of the reproductive science of NaProTechnology, which can assist women and couples with a broad range of reproductive concerns.
