Heather G. Huddleston

MD

Director, PCOS Clinic
Reproductive endocrinologist

Dr. Heather Huddleston is a specialist in reproductive endocrinology (hormonal function) and infertility. She cares for patients with a wide array of reproductive and fertility concerns. She has special interests in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), recurrent pregnancy loss and uterine disorders, including Asherman's syndrome (a condition involving scar tissue in the uterus). She also has expertise in techniques for diagnosing and treating complex uterine causes of infertility, including hysteroscopy, in which a thin, lighted tube is inserted into the vagina to allow examination of the cervix and interior of the uterus.

As director of the UCSF PCOS Clinic and research program, Huddleston oversees multiple research projects focused on improving medical understanding of PCOS. She also conducts research on recurrent pregnancy loss and treatment approaches for uterine factor infertility (abnormalities of the uterus that interfere with pregnancy). She has spoken on her findings all over the country, and her research has been widely published in scientific journals.

Huddleston earned her medical degree at Harvard Medical School. She completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology, followed by a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility, at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital.

Huddleston is a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

    All doctors that was involved with my procedure were very friendly, informative and they show that they really care about you and made patient rapport and it made me feel at ease and less nervous.

    I have been to many many fertility doctors as my journey has not been easy and I'm military and have moved around the country quite a bit. Dr Huddleston has blown me away. She sat and listened to my fertility history, gave insight and a proactive plan of Action. This is more than I've ever received before and her confidence in her abilities to heal me were apparent. This all from our first consultation appointment. She's renewed my hope and given me confidence that we'll get this fixed.

    Dr. Huddleston is great- she listened to my history and fully explained the upcoming treatment.

    The provider arrived late to the appointment, bringing with her an observing physician. She seemed rushed and didn't bother to review my records. She thought I'd done an ultrasound with her office when I hadn't. She forgot about the bloodwork and testing my partner and I had done and seemed to fixate on getting done, rushing through.

    The doctor hardly spoke to me, only the nurses
    Feb 06, 2023
    Everyone I interacted with for my procedure was incredibly helpful, kind and attentive, except the doctor handling my procedure, Dr. Huddleston. This review is in regards to Dr. Huddleston. She barely acknowledged me or spoke to me when I entered the procedure room. I was nervous and expected at least a check in on how I was feeling, a general hello, or some acknowledgement of my presence there. I didn't feel like a person that mattered. She only spoke to me to ask me questions confirming my name, date or birth and procedure. I am sure she does these procedures all the time and it means nothing, but the attitude was cold. She was either on her phone or talking socially with the fellow While I got settled in the room. It didn't help to ease my nerves or make me feel like my procedure mattered. Everyone else, the nurses, the anesthesiologist, and the fellow, were very nice and warm during my stay.

    I spent a total of 3 min face-to-face with this provider, so it is very hard to judge on any of these metrics. She seemed nice, but most of the consenting and more complex discussions was performed by others.

    I feel extremely lucky to have received the care of Dr. Huddleston who has been one of the best care providers I have experienced. She is extremely professional and good at what she does, but also an extraordinary human who shows genuine care.
