Maya Kriseman, MD

About

Every clinical credential Maya Kriseman holds came out of one institution. Baylor College of Medicine gave her the MD, the Obstetrics and Gynecology residency, the Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellowship, and a Master of Science in Clinical Investigation on top of the clinical track. That last degree is the unusual part, and it explains the rest of her profile: close to ten years of clinical research into how biological and environmental factors affect infertility, publications in high-impact journals on PCOS and new surgical techniques, and a Pfizer Presidents’ Presenter Award for presenting research.

She is board-certified twice over, in Obstetrics and Gynecology and in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. Her practice sits on the female-infertility side of the field: IVF, endometriosis, recurrent pregnancy loss, fertility preservation, reproductive genetics, and the third-party programs where a cycle depends on a donor egg, donor sperm or a gestational carrier. Aspire’s own profile of her describes the working model as hands-on across the whole cycle rather than split between clinicians: she plans and oversees the fertility process together with the laboratory director and keeps the patient’s OB/GYN in the loop.

She consults in English, Russian and medical Spanish, which matters in a city where a fertility case runs on detailed instructions and a lot of consent paperwork.

Where she actually sees patients needs one clarification. The Piney Point clinic page lists her as one of this address’s two specialists. Her own Aspire profile lists available locations as the Medical Center at Woman’s 7900 Fannin and Katy. Both statements are on the website; neither resolves the other. If you want her at the Fondren Road office, confirm that when you book. Aspire does not publish how her role and Dr. Ryan Steward’s divide at this clinic, so the division of labor you get is the one you ask for.

Clinical Expertise

• IVF: cycle planning from stimulation through transfer, with her research background applied to protocol choice rather than a single standard recipe
• PCOS and ovulatory disorders: the topic she has published on, spanning metabolic management and stimulation decisions
• Diminished ovarian reserve: a named clinical interest in her profile, and the case type where monitoring intensity and protocol design matter most
• Fertility Preservation: egg and embryo freezing, both for patients facing medical treatment and for those planning later
• Third-Party Reproduction: donor egg, donor sperm and gestational carrier cycles, listed among her areas of expertise
• Reproductive Genetics and PGT: genetic-carrier families moving through IVF with embryo testing and a frozen transfer
• Endometriosis and Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: both on her areas-of-specialty list, and both handled from a gynecologic rather than purely laboratory angle

Why Choose Dr. Maya Kriseman

A research degree behind the clinical ones. An MS in Clinical Investigation plus nearly ten years studying biological and environmental contributors to infertility is a different kind of training than fellowship alone. It shows up where diagnosis is ambiguous, since environmental and lifestyle factors get considered instead of filed under unexplained infertility.

Two boards and a gynecology habit. She came through OB/GYN before REI, so endometriosis, uterine factors and pregnancy-loss workups are part of her routine rather than a referral.

She stays with the cycle. Her profile describes her planning and overseeing the process with the lab director and maintaining contact with the patient’s OB/GYN, which is the opposite of handing a patient off between clinicians mid-treatment.

Published on PCOS and surgical technique. Those are her named publication topics, and the Pfizer Presidents’ Presenter Award recognizes research presentation, both in areas where practice has moved fastest.

Language access that is not a translation service. Russian and medical Spanish consultations remove a real failure point in consent discussions and injection scheduling.

Professional Affiliations

American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM); Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (SREI); Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR). Board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. Training and degrees, all at Baylor College of Medicine: MD, OB/GYN residency, REI fellowship, Master of Science in Clinical Investigation. Awards and recognition on her Aspire profile include the Pfizer Presidents’ Presenter Award and membership in the reproductive medicine and reproduction-science societies listed above.

Suitable For

• Patients with PCOS trying to conceive: the endocrine and metabolic management comes before the aggressive stimulation decision, which is where her published work sits
• Patients told their ovarian reserve is low: a named clinical interest, and the situation where protocol design and monitoring frequency change what you get out of a retrieval
• Anyone freezing eggs or embryos: elective preservation and preservation before medical treatment, both listed specialties
• Families using donor eggs, donor sperm or a gestational carrier: third-party cycles need coordination across medical and legal steps, and she works the medical side of that
• Couples who both carry the same genetic condition: the path our sources document is IVF with embryo genetic testing followed by a frozen transfer
• Patients with endometriosis or repeated losses: evaluated as gynecologic problems first, which is what her double certification covers
• Russian- and Spanish-speaking patients: consultation, consent and cycle instructions in the language you actually follow
