Masanori Ito

About

Dr. Masanori Ito is a part-time physician at Kato Ladies Clinic, where he has practiced since 2015. He earned his MD at University of Yamanashi Faculty of Medicine (2004), trained at the University of Tokyo Hospital and Mitsui Memorial Hospital in Tokyo, and completed a PhD at the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Medicine in 2012 in reproductive development and aging medicine — research directly adjacent to the questions fertility patients ask about age and egg or embryo quality. He returned to the University of Tokyo Hospital as an instructor in 2014 before moving fully into IVF practice at KLC.

Why Choose Dr. Masanori Ito
