Dr. Amy Dhesi

About

Metabolic health is the thread running through Dr. Amy Dhesi’s research: how it interacts with polycystic ovary syndrome, how it shapes ovulation, and where it sits in endometriosis-related infertility. That work has been presented at national meetings and published in medical journals, and it sets her apart inside a four-physician practice whose other profiles lead with surgical fellowships, an academic IVF directorship or the registry reporting for the centers themselves. Her most recent project looks at fertility options for transgender patients.

She earned her medical degree at the University of California, San Francisco, completed obstetrics and gynecology residency at UCLA, and finished her reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellowship at Rutgers University. Her path also includes a stretch as a Partner Physician at Kaiser Permanente — an integrated system where the same organization runs the labs, imaging and referrals — plus several years at other Southern California fertility practices treating complex cases. Her FSAC profile puts her at more than a decade in reproductive medicine.

Dhesi is listed with FACOG in the credential line on her FSAC physician page, and FSAC states that all of its fertility specialists are board certified in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. She carries Castle Connolly Top Doctor recognition for 2025 and 2026. She is fluent in Spanish and, in the practice’s own words, committed to serving a diverse community — Spanish is one of the two languages FSAC lists for the practice as a whole, and the only physician on the team whose profile documents fluency in the second one.

Clinical Expertise

• IVF cycle management: ovarian stimulation planning, monitoring by blood work and ultrasound, retrieval and transfer, with protocols adjusted to diagnosis rather than a single standard recipe
• PCOS and ovulation disorders: stimulation strategies for ovaries that respond too aggressively or not at all, an area she has published in
• Endometriosis-associated infertility: evaluating how disease burden and ovarian reserve interact before choosing between surgery, IUI and IVF
• Metabolic factors in fertility: building the metabolic picture — insulin resistance and related endocrine findings — into stimulation decisions rather than treating it as background noise
• Preimplantation genetic testing: counseling on PGT-A, PGT-M and polygenic screening, with biopsied embryo cells sent to an outside genetics laboratory
• Fertility preservation: egg and embryo freezing for elective reasons and for patients facing cancer treatment, using the practice’s same-day consult route for newly diagnosed patients
• Transgender reproductive health: fertility counseling and preservation before transition, an active research interest

Why Choose Dr. Amy Dhesi

A clinician who reads her own literature back into the exam room. PCOS, endometriosis and metabolic health are not just diagnoses she treats; they are the topics she has researched and presented, which matters most for patients whose case does not fit the standard protocol.

System-trained in coordinated care. The Kaiser Permanente partner physician years show up in how she works: comprehensive testing up front, tracking results across the whole team rather than a single visit, and following up after a positive pregnancy test — one patient review on her FSAC page specifically mentions that follow-up call.

Patients consistently say she takes the time. Multiple reviews collected by the practice describe her explaining medical jargon in plain language, spending longer than their previous doctors, and answering repeated questions without rushing. That fits the practice model at FSAC, where the first consult runs a full hour.

Care in your own language. Spanish-fluent appointments, which also means the consent forms, medication instructions and monitoring schedules can be discussed directly.

Recognized by name, twice. Castle Connolly Top Doctor for both 2025 and 2026, listed on her FSAC physician page.

Professional Affiliations

Her FSAC physician page credits her with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists fellowship designation (FACOG) and reports the Castle Connolly Top Doctor awards for 2025 and 2026. FSAC states that every one of its fertility specialists holds board certification in reproductive endocrinology and infertility; no subspecialty surgical training and no named society memberships appear in her published profile, so this page does not claim any. Her documented academic footprint is conference presentations and journal publications on PCOS, endometriosis, metabolic health and fertility, and transgender fertility options.

Suitable For

• PCOS patients who have stimulated poorly before: an area of published research, and the diagnosis most likely to need an individualized protocol
• Endometriosis-related infertility: weighing whether surgery, IUI or IVF comes first, inside a practice that has its own laparoscopy suite
• Patients with a metabolic contributor: the insulin-resistance and endocrine findings that change stimulation decisions
• Transgender patients planning a biological child: preservation counseling before medical or surgical transition, backed by her current research interest
• Spanish-speaking families: appointments, teaching and consent conversations without interpretation
• Anyone starting IVF who wants to understand it: the explanation-first style her patient reviews keep describing
