AWARD WINNING FERTILITY SPECIALIST :
As a fertility specialist, Dr. Dorette Noorhasan has unique empathy, kindness and compassion for her patients. Having stood in the shoes of both a fertility doctor and fertility patient, she understands the complex emotional and physical journeys of families who are struggling with infertility. Dr. Noorhasan and her husband met later on in their reproductive lives and had difficulty conceiving a child. Eventually, they sought help from a fertility clinic, and they ended up completing five cycles of in vitro fertilization (IVF). After numerous failed attempts, they finally were successful in creating an embryo, which was then transferred to a surrogate who successfully carried and delivered their son. “It’s because of my surrogate’s kindness, that I am a mother today,” remarks Dr. Noorhasan. Her experience with infertility, has shaped her approach as a doctor to ensure that her patients feel supported through every step of their fertility journey.

After receiving her undergraduate degree summa cum laude from University of the Virgin Islands, Dr. Noorhasan attended medical school at Boston University School of Medicine, during which she participated in medical missions to Guatemala and Mexico. She completed her residency in obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at the University of Texas, Houston.

“Taking care of women and children has always been a passion of mine. It was during my obstetrics and gynecology residency that I rotated through the department of reproductive endocrinology and infertility and I absolutely fell in love with that field of medicine,” said Dr. Noorhasan. “It is such a rewarding experience to help someone conceive and have a child when they’ve been struggling with infertility. When a patient sees their baby on the ultrasound for the first time and they hear the heartbeat, I experience those tears of joy and happiness with them.”

Dr. Noorhasan completed her fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at New Jersey Medical School.

The path to parenthood may not be how we had always dreamt it should be, but having a child and being able to give love to a child is one of the greatest gifts”.
