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.

    Dr. Huddleston is EXCEPTIONAL. She treated me with such respect, skill, kindness and compassion. Even though she is not my doctor and we met only briefly in the preop area, I instantly felt like she had been a good friend for many years. I could tell she cared deeply both about me and abut providing me the best care. She took great pride in her work. What great features to have in a physician! My recovery was quick and easy. I am so grateful, this experience was best in class.

    I feel extremely fortunate and well taken care of to be treated by Dr Huddleston. She is extremely knowledgeable but also sensitive when explaining and treating my condition. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone struggling with similar fertility issues.

    She barely spoke to me. Most other practitioners I've had at the clinic have done trauma informed style care where they tell me what is happening to my body as it happens and this was not part of her approach. That being said, in consultations In the past, I have found her very present, kind and had good explanations. Maybe she was just focused during the procedure

    Was so impressed with Dr. Huddleston. Finding a doctor to work with on this procedure has been quite taxing. This is the third provider I've seen.

    I asked if we should talk to the reproductive therapist again and Dr. H said yes, but I have not yet received a follow up or next steps on how to make that happen.

    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.
