Charley Tegerdine, RN

IVF Nurse Coordinator / Phone: 907-531-2776

​​​​​​​I collaborate with Dr. Ostrom and patients to create a personalized treatment plan for each person/couple undergoing fertility treatment.

I have personal experience with undergoing IVF and had my IVF baby in November of 2019. I am also a Labor and Delivery nurse, working in Soldotna for the last 4 years.

My overall goal as the IVF nurse coordinator is to make the process as informational and streamlined as possible in an already emotional and stressful situation.
​​​​​​​

I am very passionate about IVF, having been through the ups and downs of the process myself and want to make a positive difference in each of my patients’ journeys.
