Beth A. Malizia, MD

About

Dr. Beth Malizia is a reproductive endocrinologist who specializes in infertility and reproductive surgery. She welcomes patients dealing with infertility, irregular periods, fibroids, and pregnancy loss, and manages the full IVF arc from stimulation protocol design through embryo transfer.

She took an unusual route into medicine: a lacrosse scholarship at Cornell, then a year at a large Wall Street investment bank before medical school at the University of North Carolina. She completed Ob/Gyn residency at UAB in 2005 and her REI fellowship in 2008 at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where she served as an instructor at Harvard Medical School and did clinical training at Boston IVF, one of the largest IVF programs in the country.

At Alabama Fertility she concentrates on individualized cycle planning in complex cases: advanced maternal age, PCOS, multifactor infertility, and repeated IVF failure. Our sources credit the practice’s founding to a different physician; her own profile records a clinical role.

Clinical Expertise

• IVF full-cycle management: individualized stimulation protocols, monitoring, retrieval, and transfer, with particular depth in complex and poor-prognosis cases
• ICSI strategies for male factor and prior fertilization failure: choosing injection versus conventional insemination case by case
• PGT-A and PGT-M: using genetic screening and single-gene diagnosis to select embryos with the highest implantation potential
• Reproductive surgery: hysteroscopic and laparoscopic treatment of fibroids, polyps, and uterine scar tissue, sequenced with IVF timing to improve outcomes

Why Choose Dr. Malizia

Dr. Malizia’s profile for this practice lists infertility and reproductive surgery as her clinical focus, and she welcomes patients dealing with irregular periods, fibroids, and pregnancy loss alongside IVF.

Her training sits on a short list nationally: an REI fellowship at Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess with clinical years at Boston IVF, where she saw volume and case complexity few Alabama patients could otherwise access without leaving the state. She has authored more than 20 peer-reviewed publications, and her IVF outcomes research appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine — the country’s top general medical journal.

Patients weighing options after failed cycles benefit from that research background: she works through implantation potential, endometrial receptivity, and protocol fit systematically before changing course. She has been elected to the national Best Doctors listing and won B Metro’s Top Women in Medicine award.

Professional Affiliations

Dr. Malizia is board certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Obstetrics and Gynecology and in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, and a Fellow of ACOG. She has served on the SART Advertising Committee and local and national reproductive medicine committees, and sits on the board of the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals.

Suitable For

Complex IVF/ICSI/PGT cases — she handles the difficult profiles most often: advanced age, diminished or dysregulated ovarian function, and infertility with several contributing factors at once.

Second opinions after failed cycles — rather than repeating what failed, she re-audits the embryo, the endometrium, and the protocol, then rebuilds the plan around what the data showed. Her publication record in IVF outcomes is directly relevant here.

Surgery-plus-IVF sequencing — patients with fibroids, polyps, or intrauterine scar tissue can have hysteroscopic or laparoscopic correction and IVF timing managed by the same physician, which removes hand-off delays.

Irregular periods and pregnancy loss — her intake evaluation covers endocrine workup and recurrent loss assessment, not just procedure planning.
