“Both of my parents were scientists who nurtured my passion and curiosity in the field of medicine. During my college years, I had the opportunity to work in a prestigious fertility laboratory, and since then, I’ve been deeply committed to this field.”
Dr. Somkuti has extensive experience and expertise in surgical and medical treatments of infertility and IVF. His research pursuits range from understanding endometriosis and its effects on implantation, to exploring connections between fertility and the environment. Dr. Somkuti’s areas of interest include: female and male infertility and reproductive endocrinology, IVF and ICSI, effects of the environment on reproduction, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), oncofertility and fertility preservation.
“We experienced infertility and many of the same issues that our patients have been through. There’s nothing like understanding the heartbreak of not being able to achieve pregnancy.”
