About me

Dr. Hakan Cakmak is a reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist who cares for patients seeking treatment for fertility issues or recurrent pregnancy loss, and those interested in assisted reproductive techniques (such as intrauterine insemination and in-vitro fertilization) or fertility preservation (such as egg or embryo freezing). He is experienced in performing minimally invasive procedures, including laparoscopic surgery, for reproductive organ issues.

In research, Cakmak develops better strategies for treating infertility, particularly by improving ovarian stimulation protocols and embryo selection techniques. He also investigates the molecular causes of implantation failures and miscarriages.

Cakmak earned his medical degree from Cerrahpasa Faculty of Medicine in Istanbul. He completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Yale University and a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at UCSF. He is a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.

      Dr. Cakmak was incredibly caring and thorough. He took the time to explain everything he was doing during my embryo transfer and made sure my husband and I were well informed every step of the way. His attention to detail and clear communication really put us at ease - especially meaningful with this being our fifth embryo transfer. His calm and compassionate approach helped us feel both hopeful and excited about the experience.

      Dr. Cakmak is extremely patient and methodical in explaining terms. He has the gentleness and respect amongst his staff and also just prepared answers even with consults that most common questions have been answered.
