Victor Y. Fujimoto, M.D.

Director of UCSF In Vitro Fertilization

Dr. Victor Fujimoto, director of the UCSF In Vitro Fertilization Program, is a specialist in reproductive endocrinology and fertility. His area of expertise includes in vitro fertilization technologies and the development of non-invasive techniques for gynecologic treatment. A former fertility patient himself, Fujimoto is aware of the emotional experience many infertile couples face. He believes women should fully understand their reproductive potential and treatment choices.

Fujimoto earned a medical degree at the University of California at San Diego. He completed a residency at the Mayo Graduate School and fellowship training at UCSF. He began a clinical practice at the University of Washington in 1993.
