About
Dr. Colleen Casey has cared for patients at the Center for Reproductive Medicine (CRM) since 2011 and currently serves as its President. A Saint Paul native, she earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, her MD from the University of Minnesota Medical School, completed her OB/GYN residency at the University of Michigan, and her REI fellowship at Fletcher Allen Healthcare (University of Vermont).
Dr. Casey is known for a direct, honest communication style grounded in empathy. She excels at understanding each patient’s personal values and treatment goals during the initial consultation to craft truly individualized plans. As a strong supporter of physician-owned practice, she believes CRM’s independent model allows doctors to make decisions entirely around patient needs, free from corporate performance metrics.
The long-term relationships she builds with patients — witnessing their full journey from initial evaluation to welcoming a new family member — are among the most valued achievements of her work.
