Oluyemisi Famuyiwa, MD, FACOG
Oluyemisi “Yemi” Famuyiwa, MD, FACOG, is a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and obstetrician-gynecologist, author, educator, and advocate for informed reproductive health care.
She is the founder and medical director of Montgomery Fertility Center in Rockville, Maryland, where she provides individualized care to women, men, and couples navigating infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, fertility preservation, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, male-factor infertility, reproductive aging, and other complex reproductive health concerns.
Dr. Famuyiwa earned her medical degree from Emory University. She completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Georgetown University and her fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the National Institutes of Health. She is also an Assistant Clinical Professor at the George Washington University School of Medicine, where she contributes to the education and mentorship of future physicians and health professionals.
She is the author of The Quest for Fertility: A Science-Guided Path to Reproductive and Lifelong Health. The book goes beyond fertility treatment to explain how reproductive health can provide important insight into metabolic health, hormonal function, aging, and long-term well-being. It encourages readers to understand their biology earlier, ask better questions, and make informed decisions before reproductive options become more limited.
Dr. Famuyiwa also hosts the Fertile Talks podcast, where she translates complex reproductive science into practical and understandable conversations. Her educational work addresses fertility preservation, ovarian aging, male reproductive health, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, the uterine environment, reproductive longevity, and the relationship between fertility and overall health.
Recognized consistently as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor, Dr. Famuyiwa is known for combining scientific rigor with compassionate, patient-centered care. Her guiding principle is that reproductive health should not be discussed only when someone is ready to have a child. It is an important component of lifelong health.
