About
Dr. Ahmad Hammoud was running a fertility center before he ran this one. After his fellowship at the University of Utah he stayed six years as a faculty member and medical director of the Utah Center for Reproductive Medicine, then returned to Michigan as medical director of IVF Michigan — the practice that now operates under the Pinnacle Fertility name at 37000 Woodward Ave. The CDC’s registration for the clinic names Ahmad O. Hammoud, MD as its medical director, and he is an associate professor at the William Beaumont School of Medicine.
His training path: a medical degree from Saint Joseph’s University in Beirut, obstetrics and gynecology residency at Wayne State University in Detroit, then reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellowship at Utah. He holds board certification in both obstetrics/gynecology and the reproductive endocrinology subspecialty, plus certification from the National Board of Medical Examiners, and he is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
What he treats is narrower than a general IVF roster. His published clinical interests are IVF, abnormal sperm testing, reduced ovarian reserve, and the effect of environment and diet on fertility — the last one unusual enough to be a real differentiator when a couple has been told their results are unexplained. He sees patients at Bloomfield Hills, Dearborn, Macomb and Grand Rapids in Michigan. Pinnacle gives both him and Dr. F. Nicholas Shamma a medical-director title without publishing how the two jobs differ; the CDC record and the practice’s own IVF Michigan branding attach the director role to Hammoud.
Clinical Expertise
- IVF: cycle oversight from stimulation planning through transfer, as the clinic’s medical director
- Male factor infertility: abnormal sperm testing is one of his named clinical interests, and the location lists male infertility as a service line
- ICSI: the lab step used when semen quality is the limiting factor
- Reduced ovarian reserve: protocols for patients whose response is expected to be thin
- Environment and diet as fertility inputs: his stated focus on how exposures and nutrition bear on reproductive outcomes
- PGT within an IVF cycle: embryo genetic testing is on the location’s service list
Why Choose Dr. Ahmad Hammoud
He runs the clinical program, not just his patient list. The CDC registration for this clinic names him as its medical director, and the practice has carried that title for him since its IVF Michigan days. A medical director is the physician answerable for the protocols patients follow, not only the ones he personally treats.
Detroit recognition listed from 2017 through 2025. His profile records Detroit Hour Magazine Top Docs in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility for 2017-2024 and again for 2025, alongside a Sub-specialist of the Year award from Beaumont Dearborn (2018), the Kamran S. Moghissi Award (2003), an SREI prize paper (2007), CREOG awards (2002-2005) and Patients’ Choice awards (2009-2017) — more than 20 honors in all.
Academic appointment with teaching duties. Associate professor at the William Beaumont School of Medicine, after six years of faculty work in Utah.
The lifestyle angle has a name attached to it. Patients told their infertility is unexplained often want exposures and diet looked at rather than waved off. That is his listed specialty, and it is the kind of question a short physician visit skips.
Patients ask for him by name. The clinic’s Bloomfield Hills page carries four patient comments; three of them name him directly.

Suitable For
- Patients with reduced ovarian reserve: expect protocol decisions about response, not a standard stim sheet
- Male factor cases: abnormal sperm testing is one of his stated interests, and the clinic lists male infertility as a service
- Unexplained infertility where lifestyle is a question: he treats environment and diet as part of the workup
- Anyone who wants a single physician owning the whole cycle: as medical director he sits on both ends of the treatment pathway
- Patients choosing among four Michigan cities: he rotates between Bloomfield Hills, Dearborn, Macomb and Grand Rapids, so appointment location is a choice rather than a constraint
