Amelia Kelly, MD

About

Dr. Amelia Kelly spent her residency rising to Chief Resident of Research and Quality Improvement at NYU—a role that is as much about building systems as treating patients. That background shows in how she practices fertility care: orderly, evidence-tracked, and focused on giving patients a clear view of each decision. She is now an Assistant Clinical Professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

Her clinical work centers on the areas that demand long-horizon planning and individualized counseling: fertility preservation, LGBTQIA+ family building, and recurrent pregnancy loss. Patients in these groups are rarely asking only “can I get pregnant”—they are weighing time windows, family structure, and support, and Kelly tends to lay the whole picture out rather than narrow it to a single cycle.

She earned her undergraduate degree with honors from the University of Michigan, her medical degree at Weill Cornell Medical College, and completed both OB-GYN residency and her Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellowship at New York University School of Medicine. A Denver native, she keeps up with skiing, hiking, and time outdoors.

Clinical Expertise

• Fertility preservation: egg, embryo, and tissue freezing for patients facing cancer treatment, surgery, or deferred parenthood.
• IVF and infertility care: full-cycle management from stimulation and retrieval through transfer, with individualized plans.
• LGBTQIA+ family building: medical guidance and pathway planning for donor eggs, donor sperm, and gestational carriers across family structures.
• Recurrent pregnancy loss: systematic evaluation of endocrine, anatomic, and immune factors for patients with repeated miscarriage or implantation failure.

Why Choose Dr. Kelly

Kelly is an Assistant Clinical Professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, practicing and teaching in parallel. Her term as Chief Resident of Research and Quality Improvement means she has worked on care processes and training systems, not only individual cases—a background that usually translates into more standardized, traceable management.

She has co-authored more than 15 scientific and clinical manuscripts in journals including Nature, the Journal of the American Medical Association, Fertility and Sterility, and the Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics, and has given more than 35 research presentations at meetings such as the ASRM Annual Meeting.

She also takes on patient-access advocacy and helps build educational curricula for trainees—work that matters most in areas like fertility preservation and LGBTQIA+ family building, where information gaps are wide and patients benefit from a physician willing to explain the options plainly.

Professional Affiliations

Kelly is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), the Pacific Coast Reproductive Society, the American Medical Women’s Association, and the American Medical Association (AMA). She holds faculty at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, with training spanning Weill Cornell Medical College and NYU residency and fellowship.

Suitable For

• Patients needing fertility preservation before treatment: preservation is a core focus, so planning can begin before cancer therapy or surgery.
• LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples building families: dedicated attention to assisted-reproduction pathways and inclusive, clear counseling.
• Women evaluated for recurrent miscarriage: a research-and-quality lens applied to systematic cause-finding and follow-up.
• Patients considering egg freezing and deferred parenthood: individualized guidance on timing and long-term family planning.
