About Dr. Bill Meyer

Contact Dr. Meyer on the patient portal
Dr. and Mrs. Meyer completed a decade of medical service in 2023 to the women of Honduras. For the last six years, they worked at an outpatient surgical clinic at Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos through One World Surgery, performing each year about 20 operative procedures, most not done in an infertility practice.
Dr. Meyer was raised in Roanoke, Virginia; he swam and played water polo at Washington and Lee University. He attended the University of Virginia for medical school. During his fourth year, he spent months on the Navajo reservation, and this changed his career direction from family practice to OB/GYN. After attending a four-year residency program at Emory-Grady, he completed an Infertility Fellowship at Yale, followed by three years in Washington DC as an attending physician at NIH, the Washington Hospital Center, and private practice. Missing academics, he was hired by UNC in 1992 to run their IVF program and there he also directed the OB/GYN residency program for five years. He is board certified in Infertility and OB/GYN. He was also the prior President of the NC OB/GYN Society.
He continues to swim with a master’s swim team, and he loses regularly in singles tennis with friends he has been playing with for over thirty years. He plans on doing the bike ride across North Carolina in October. Hopefully, his knees will be kind to him. You could follow his 470-mile ride on Instagram if he knew how to do it.

Dr. Meyer in Honduras
Dr. Bill Meyer was so positive during our initial consult. For the first time, I felt like an ideal candidate for treatment, rather than a series of insurmountable problems.
