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 the 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 after the reproductive years.
An authority in his field, Dr. Merhi was awarded Best OBGYN Doctor 2020 by New York magazine and received a Star Award from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). He has published over 80 manuscripts and book chapters and he continues to present his research at national and international scientific conferences.
