About me

Dr. Joie Zeynep Guner is a reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist who cares for patients with conditions causing infertility, such as endocrine disorders affecting reproduction. She is skilled at performing minimally invasive surgery. Her interests include polycystic ovarian syndrome, fibroids, uterine abnormalities and fertility preservation. In addition to improving the reproductive health of her patients, she is dedicated to educating medical students and doctor trainees.

In research, Guner's major areas of interest include developing new drugs to treat infertility; increasing access to infertility treatments through oral medications that stimulate the ovaries; and improving the health of patients with endometriosis and fibroids by translating lab research on these conditions to therapies provided in the clinic.

At Baylor College of Medicine, she completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology and a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. She also has a master's degree in clinical science from Baylor College of Medicine and a master's degree in clinical embryology from the University of Oxford.

      Exceptional experience. I felt so seen to have a variety of options presented for the transvaginal ultrasound when I mentioned pain on entry. I also felt like I was presented with a lot of options for each stage of the process and felt like pain and discomfort I would feel would be taken seriously, which hasn't been my experience in the past with period/pelvic pain.

      Dr. Guner is an absolute gem of an RE! She has been so supportive, thorough, diligent, kind and genuine through our infertility process and through a pregnancy loss. We are so grateful to be in this with her and trust her wholeheartedly.
