The Fertility Institute of New Orleans – Baton Rouge

Dr. Nicole Ulrich is an experienced, board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist who joined the Fertility Institute in 2025. In addition to being dedicated to helping patients achieve their family-building goals, Dr. Ulrich is also the Director of Advocacy for The Fertility Institute. Dr. Ulrich takes an individualized and thoughtful approach to treatment, focusing on each patient's unique needs and goals. She aims to provide compassionate, evidence-based care while empowering patients through every step of their fertility journey. As every patient and couple is unique, she believes in treating the whole person-not just their test results-by fostering open communication and creating a personalized plan that aligns with the patient's values and vision for building their family.

Erin Cheneval is a family nurse practitioner who got her start as a labor and delivery nurse before transitioning to reproductive endocrinology due to her interest in fertility. Erin earned her nursing degree from Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University and her nurse practitioner degree from Nicholls State University. She loves being involved at the end of her patient’s pregnancies but decided it was time to change course to be active in the first part of a patient’s fertility journey.
