About
Two of the three training steps in Manuel Doblado’s career ended with a teaching award, which says something about how he practices: the Gold CREOG Award and Medical Student Teaching Award came out of his University of Colorado obstetrics and gynecology residency, and the UCSD and Kaiser Permanente Medical Center Reproductive Medicine Residency Fellows Teaching Award came out of his reproductive endocrinology fellowship at UC San Diego. Explaining a protocol to someone who did not write it is the daily job of a fertility physician, and he was recognized for it before he had patients of his own.
He has been at Northern California Fertility Medical Center since July 2017 — the earliest start date the clinic publishes for any of its physicians. Two colleagues arrived after that point: Dr. Suzanne Generao joined Dr. John Gould’s practice at the clinic in August 2022, and Dr. Philip Chenette joined in June 2025. He earned his medical degree at Washington University School of Medicine in 2010.
He is board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, and holds California medical license 131490. His published biography states his credentials and his training, and nothing more: it names no procedure-level interests, no patient population and no society memberships, so this page does not supply any.
Clinical Expertise
- Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI): his board-certified specialty, and the scope he practices within at a clinic whose service list runs from IUI through IVF, donor egg cycles and gestational carrier work
- IVF cycle care: he is listed by the clinic as one of its reproductive endocrinologists at a SART-reporting practice with an in-house laboratory performing ICSI, assisted hatching and embryo biopsy for PGT
- Obstetrics and gynecology base: the second board certification is what separates a physician who trained through a full OB/GYN residency from a bench-side specialty alone; his Gold CREOG Award and research involvement came out of that residency
- Training and education: the through-line of his published record — teaching awards at both the University of Colorado residency and his UC San Diego fellowship
Why Choose Dr. Doblado
Tenure that covers a full stretch of this clinic’s history. He joined in July 2017. Fertility outcomes depend heavily on accumulated repetition by a specific team in a specific lab, and he has been doing that work in this practice for nine years.
Double board certification, with a license number attached. OB/GYN plus Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, California license 131490 — the certification pair American patients use to check an REI’s credentials, stated here as the clinic states it.
Recognized as a teacher by two separate programs. The Gold CREOG Award is a residency-level clinical honor; the Medical Student Teaching Award and the UCSD/Kaiser fellows teaching award are about communication. Both matter in a treatment where you are asked to inject medications on a schedule you did not design.
Training path in one sentence: Washington University in Medicine (2010), Colorado for OB/GYN residency, UC San Diego for reproductive endocrinology — three institutions with strong reproductive medicine programs, no gaps to explain.
Professional Affiliations
Board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility; licensed in California (131490). His published biography names no society memberships, and this page does not add any. Awards on record: Gold CREOG Award, Medical Student Teaching Award (University of Colorado), and the UCSD and Kaiser Permanente Medical Center Reproductive Medicine Residency Fellows Teaching Award.
Suitable For
Patients with female-factor or unexplained infertility who want their evaluation and treatment run by one physician from the first workup through transfer, in a practice that reports every cycle to SART.
Patients planning IVF in Sacramento where the laboratory work — ICSI, assisted hatching, biopsy for genetic testing — happens in-house rather than being shipped out, which shortens the chain of custody on your eggs and embryos.
Patients who ask a lot of questions. A physician honored twice for teaching is the cheaper version of a longer appointment; that matters most for stimulation protocols, where the schedule is unforgiving.
Anyone screening the roster by credentials. His certification pair and license number are published, so the check takes one call to the California Medical Board rather than a consultation.
