Dr. Ravi Agarwal will discuss teaching at Harvard and how it helps him counsel his patients, how long you need to be with RSC to complete fertility treatment, and how growing up in the Bay area prepared him to take care of Chinese patients.
How will RSC Manage My Cycle When I Travel From China?
Ravi Agarwal, MD | Jackie Xu, MA
Dr. Ravi Agarwal grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. He earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Southern California (USC) at the Viterbi School of Engineering. He continued on at USC to earn his medical degree from the Keck School of Medicine. Following med school, he relocated to Boston to complete his residency in obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) at Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. Determined to be back in California (and its sunshine), he returned to USC Keck School of Medicine for his fellowship in reproductive endocrinology & infertility (REI). Dr. Agarwal’s special interests include fertility preservation and egg freezing, recurrent pregnancy loss and PCOS. While in medical school, Dr. Agarwal was awarded the Dean’s Research Scholarship to study complications of pregnancies following in vitro fertilization (IVF). During residency, he earned the Merit Scholarship from the Pacific Coast Reproductive Society, where he serves on a leadership committee. He was also awarded Outstanding Teacher of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2017, 2019 and 2020 by students of Harvard Medical School. Dr. Agarwal serves on several committees such as the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists and the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. He has also presented his research and given lectures at conferences nationally. His desire to return to his hometown and treat patients in the community he loves was what led him to Reproductive Science Center of the San Francisco Bay Area. He was also drawn to the practice’s size and its dedication to helping patients. An outdoor enthusiast, Dr. Agarwal enjoys golf, hiking, surfing and camping. He is a diehard Warriors fan but admittedly also became a Celtics fan after his time in Boston. His passion for learning goes beyond medicine as he continues trying out new hobbies. Currently he is perfecting the art of brewing a delicious cup of coffee.
