About
Lauren Bishop did her reproductive endocrinology fellowship at the National Institutes of Health, the federal biomedical research agency where trainees spend years inside the science behind the drugs they later prescribe. She now sees patients at Columbia University Fertility Center as an Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and her clinical attention concentrates on the hardest patients to stimulate — those with diminished ovarian reserve and those whose infertility is tied to endometriosis.
Her training path runs from a medical degree at Ross University School of Medicine through Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at Georgetown University Hospital / MedStar Washington Hospital Center, and on to the NIH fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. She is board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Clinical Expertise
- Diminished Ovarian Reserve: Stimulation protocols for patients with a low egg count or a shortened window, a named focus of her practice rather than an occasional case
- IVF and ICSI: Full-cycle management from stimulation through retrieval, fertilization and transfer, with embryo culture and PGT-A screening
- Egg Freezing and Fertility Preservation: Vitrification of eggs and embryos for planned delay or medical reasons
- Endometriosis-Associated Infertility: Evaluation and treatment planning when endometriosis is the barrier to conception
- Donor Egg Programs: Counseling and cycle management for patients building a family with donor eggs
- IUI: Insemination for appropriate indications as part of a stepwise treatment plan
Why Choose Dr. Bishop
An NIH fellowship behind the protocols. Fellowship training at the National Institutes of Health means the reproductive physiology that drives her stimulation choices is the same science she was trained to interrogate at its source.
She works the difficult stimulation cases. Diminished ovarian reserve and endometriosis-related infertility are the diagnoses where standard IVF protocols often underperform, and both are her stated areas of emphasis.
Full ART range with genetic screening. IVF, ICSI and PGT-A are handled in-house at Columbia, so her treatment plans run end to end without referral out of the center.

Suitable For
- A low AMH or a short timeline: Protocols shaped specifically for diminished ovarian reserve
- Endometriosis and infertility together: A physician who names endometriosis-associated infertility as a focus
- Anyone planning egg freezing: Preservation for career timing or before medical treatment
- IVF patients who want screening: Access to in-house PGT-A at Columbia
- Donor egg families: Counseling and cycle management within the center’s third-party program
