Get to know Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility Specialist Dr. Celia E. Dominguez, who serves patients in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Recognized as an expert in the field of reproductive medicine, in vitro fertilization, and laparoendoscopic surgery, Dr. Dominguez is the Co-Director of Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute is Hawaii’s first IVF clinic. Since opening its doors in 1985, more than 6,700 babies have been born to couples in Hawaii and around the world, helping to achieve their dream of starting a family. The Honolulu fertility clinic and experienced staff offer patients leading edge in vitro fertilization technologies, which include intracytoplasmic sperm injection, donor egg IVF, fertility preservation (egg freezing), and preimplantation genetic screening and testing (PGS/PGT).

A 1987 graduate of the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Dr. Dominguez completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. She then went on to complete her fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the University of California, San Diego. 

In her professional experience, she has held faculty positions in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the University of California in San Diego, the University of New Mexico, and at Emory University in Atlanta. Since 2011, she has been affiliated with the Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children.

The doctor is board-certified in reproductive endocrinology and infertility and obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ABOG). The ABOG is a non-profit organization that provides board certification for practicing obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States and Canada.

Reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) is a surgical subspecialty of obstetrics and gynecology that trains physicians in reproductive medicine addressing hormonal functioning as it pertains to reproduction, as well as the issue of infertility. While most REI specialists primarily focus on the treatment of infertility, reproductive endocrinologists are trained to also evaluate and treat hormonal dysfunctions in females and males outside after the reproductive years.

Having gained the respect of her colleagues as an exceptional reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Dominguez has published over 80 scientific articles, chapters, videos, and abstracts. She has also received several awards throughout her career, including: Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018), On-Time Doctor Award (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018), Patients’ Choice 5th Anniversary Award (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018), Patients’ Choice Award (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018), Top 10 Doctor – City (2014), and Top 10 Doctor – State (2014).
