About Me

Dr. Hakan Cakmak is a reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist who cares for patients seeking treatment for fertility issues or recurrent pregnancy loss, and those interested in assisted reproductive techniques (such as intrauterine insemination and in-vitro fertilization) or fertility preservation (such as egg or embryo freezing). He is experienced in performing minimally invasive procedures, including laparoscopic surgery and hysteroscopic surgeries for reproductive organ issues.

In research, Dr. Cakmak develops better strategies for treating infertility, particularly by improving ovarian stimulation protocols and embryo selection techniques. He also investigates the molecular causes of implantation failures and miscarriages.

He completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Yale University and a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at UCSF.
