Daniel A. Dumesic, MD

Women in Los Angeles seeking one of the nation's foremost experts in polycystic ovary syndrome need look no further than Dr. Daniel A. Dumesic at UCLA Health. As Professor and Chief of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the David Geffen School of Medicine, Dr. Dumesic leads a program recognized internationally for both its clinical excellence and its pioneering research on PCOS.

His research has focused on the fetal origins of polycystic ovary syndrome — examining how androgen exposure during fetal development can permanently program the ovaries and hormonal systems in ways that predispose women to PCOS in adulthood. This work, funded by the NIH and published in top reproductive medicine journals, has changed how researchers think about when and why PCOS begins, opening new avenues for prevention and treatment.

In the clinic, Dr. Dumesic brings this deep scientific understanding to the care of Los Angeles women dealing with the hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive consequences of PCOS. Whether a patient is managing irregular cycles, infertility, hyperandrogenism, or the metabolic complications of polycystic ovary syndrome, he offers expert, evidence-based reproductive endocrinology care that is difficult to find anywhere else. For women in LA who want a PCOS specialist at the cutting edge of both research and clinical medicine, Dr. Dumesic at UCLA Health is a premier choice.
