He previously served as Associate Professor and Vice Chairman in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Wake Forest University. In this role, he was a practicing fertility specialist and professor.
For much of his tenure at Wake Forest, he served as Head of Reproductive Medicine and Infertility. Dr. Deaton was a part of the Wake Forest staff from 1990 until July of 2006. Dr. Deaton is Board Certified in both Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.
Dr. Deaton has always worked to offer each couple highly individualized and compassionate fertility services. He enjoyed his work as an Associate Professor where he had the opportunity to teach other physicians about the complex processes involved in human reproduction. However, teaching and other administrative duties can detract from the time available to counsel and treat patients. This is particularly true in larger programs where patients are sometimes made to feel “like a number”.
Dr. Deaton, Board Certified Fertility Specialist, opened Premier Fertility Clinic in Greensboro, NC with the commitment to focus on patient care above all other responsibilities. Patients must never feel “rushed,” as they often do in larger or University affiliated programs. His entire staff reflects this same “patients first” philosophy. We also focus on other options, such as adoption, for those couples who have poor infertility treatment prognoses.
Dr. Deaton completed his Bachelors of Science degree in Mathematics and Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University where he remained to complete his medical degree. He developed an interest in women’s health care and decided to pursue residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Connecticut Medical School in Farmington, CT.
During his OB/GYN residency training, he was exposed to all facets of female health care including infertility. He was challenged by the complexity of the reproductive processes and wanted to help couples overcome infertility. He decided to pursue Fellowship training in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the University of Vermont School Of Medicine and completed his fertility specialist training in 1990. The field of reproductive endocrinology allowed him to pursue his research interests in an academic setting. Dr. Deaton has been a successful practicing fertility specialist in North Carolina for over twenty years
