Andy Huang is a doctor and the face of the Reproductive Partners Medical Group fertility clinic. The Beverly Hills-based clinic is known for helping high-profile celebrity clients experience the joy of parenthood through surrogacy and IVF.

Associated with celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton in the past, the clinic is facing legal troubles after discarding 16 embryos belonging to a couple. As per a September 13 report from TMZ, the couple alleges the loss of the embryos has cost them the opportunity to have children.

Devastated by the incident, the couple plans to sue Dr. Huang and his fertility clinic this week and go public with their ordeal. The identity of the couple remains unrevealed, but they are confirmed not to be celebs. Peiffer Wolf's partner, Adam B. Wolf, will be representing the couple.
