Associate professor of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive endocrinology, Yale University School of Medicine, Connecticut, US

“I love building connections with patients. I try to validate their feelings and reassure them, to tell them I will be there for them, that I’m on their team, and that we will work toward a solution together. It makes my day when I feel like I have built that connection, that I have made myself available to a patient, even if it’s someone I met just minutes earlier.”

Areas of expertise

Fertility preservation
Access to fertility services for LGBTQA+ patients
Primary ovarian insufficiency

“I strive to create a positive, welcoming atmosphere in my exam room so that each patient who comes to see me feels comfortable and that all of their needs are being met.”

— Dr. Amanda Kallen
