With National Infertility Awareness Week, April 18 through 24, approaching, one local doctor says her practice is doing its part by extending a helping hand and actively encouraging women facing fertility challenges to seek assistance.
Sanaz Ghazal, MD, FACOG, is the medical director and founder of RISE Fertility in Newport Beach, one of more than a dozen fertility clinics in the city. The double-certified fertility specialist (reproductive endocrinology and infertility as well as obstetrics and gynecology) attributes becoming a mother to helping make her a better doctor.
“Because of the connection, I understand on a deep level what patients are going through,” Ghazal said in an interview this week. “I was in training before becoming a mother myself and prior to building my own family I went through my own experience to become a mother.”
