About
Wes Urian joined the Seattle team in 2026, arriving from an unusual training marker: he was Administrative Chief Resident in obstetrics and gynecology at Oregon Health & Science University, a role chosen for residents who run systems and teach as well as operate. He completed his medical degree at Marshall University’s Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine and his reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellowship at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital.
His stated clinical home is inclusive family building. He welcomes patients across all paths to parenthood and has specific experience in LGBTQ+ family building and third-party reproduction — donor eggs, donor embryos and gestational carriers — as well as general IVF and fertility preservation. In a state whose parentage statute (Chapter 26.26A RCW) lets intended parents establish legal parentage, that means coordinating the medicine and the paperwork together.
He is also a presenting physician: his research on assisted reproductive technology and pregnancy outcomes has appeared in peer-reviewed journals and at the ASRM Scientific Congress, the specialty’s main national meeting. He is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG) and an ASRM member; the sources record his fellowship training rather than a board-certification date.
Clinical Expertise
- LGBTQ+ family building: donor insemination, reciprocal IVF and carrier paths for same-sex couples and single parents
- Third-party reproduction: donor egg, donor embryo and gestational carrier coordination
- IVF with PGT: cycle management from stimulation through transfer, with genetic testing where chosen
- Fertility preservation: egg and embryo freezing
Why Choose Dr. Urian
Family building is his focus, not an add-on. His profile centers on LGBTQ+ patients and third-party reproduction — the paths that need coordinated medical, donor and legal steps.
A leadership track record from training. Administrative Chief Resident at OHSU signals a physician comfortable running care systems, not just individual cycles.
Active in the literature. Research presented at the ASRM Scientific Congress and published in peer-reviewed journals keeps his practice tied to current evidence.
