Olutunmike Kuyoro, M.D.

About

Biographies on fertility clinic sites rarely carry dates. The page for Olutunmike Kuyoro, MD at Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago does, and hers is the only dated training record among this clinic’s four published physicians: a BSc and ARCS in biology from the Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine in the United Kingdom in 2011, a Doctor of Medicine earned magna cum laude at St. George’s University School of Medicine in Grenada in 2017, and residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Maimonides Medical Center in New York from 2017 to 2021. After that she completed a reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellowship at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra / Northwell Health, in New York; the clinic publishes no year for that stage and none is inferred here.

She is listed on the team page as a partner in the practice and described as seeing patients in the greater Chicagoland area. The clinic notes that she goes by Dr. Tumi, and the patient review on her own page addresses her by that name.

Two other things distinguish her published record. She is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. And she has published research about who gets fertility treatment at all: her work has appeared in Fertility and Sterility Reports and BMC Health Services Research, on racial disparities in fertility care, predictors of follow-up care after cervical cancer screening, and the impact of BMI thresholds on access to fertility treatment.

Her clinical scope is stated in three items — Infertility, IVF, and Egg Freezing — a shorter list than any of the other three physicians here. It names no surgical procedures: operative hysteroscopy and laparoscopy appear on two of her colleagues’ specialty lists, not hers, and this profile does not add them. No society offices, no full publication list and no date of birth are published. One personal line is: she reads, travels, hikes and runs.

Clinical Expertise

• IVF: listed in her Areas of Specialty, covering stimulation planning, monitoring, retrieval coordination and transfer within a cycle
• Egg freezing: named in her Areas of Specialty; the clinic runs egg freezing both as elective preservation and before medical treatment that may affect fertility
• Female infertility evaluation: the first item listed, the hormone and ovarian-reserve assessment that comes before any treatment decision
• Access and eligibility questions: her published research examines BMI thresholds as a barrier to fertility treatment, racial disparities in fertility care, and follow-up after cervical cancer screening — the practical gatekeeping that surrounds an IVF program rather than the laboratory itself
• Patient communication: her own page carries a patient account describing her explaining each step from the first consultation, which is her preferred register rather than a credential claim

Why Choose Dr. Kuyoro

Certification stated precisely, including its limit. She holds board certification in obstetrics and gynecology from the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. She completed the reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellowship, but the clinic does not state that she holds the sub-specialty certificate in reproductive endocrinology and infertility, and this page does not say she does. The other three physicians here publish dual certification; hers is published as one certificate plus the fellowship. No certificate number or certification year is published for her.

A research record about access. The topics her page names — racial disparities in fertility care, follow-up after cervical screening, BMI thresholds as a gate on treatment access — are all about who gets filtered out before treatment starts. If you have been told you do not qualify on weight grounds, or that your case is not worth pursuing, she has published on that screening logic itself, which makes the eligibility conversation one she knows from the literature as well as from the consultation room.

Training recognized repeatedly, while she was in it. The Steven A. Farber MD Annual Award for Clinical Excellence in OBGYN came in two consecutive years during residency, alongside a Society for Maternal and Fetal Medicine residency program award for excellence in obstetrics and an Excellence in Research Award. Repeated internal awards during training are a record of how she worked with patients and colleagues at the time, not a treatment-outcome claim.

A dated, checkable timeline. 2011, 2017 and 2017–2021 are published. That is a small thing that matters when you are comparing physicians: her stages can be sequenced and asked about, whereas the other three biographies at this clinic publish no date for any training stage.

Two languages. She is fluent in English and Yoruba, the only language pair published for any physician at this clinic.

Publications: research in Fertility and Sterility Reports and BMC Health Services Research, including work on racial disparities in fertility care, predictors of follow-up care in cervical cancer screening, and the impact of BMI thresholds on fertility treatment access. A complete publication list and any society committee positions are not published.

Awards as listed on her page: Steven A. Farber MD Annual Award for Clinical Excellence in OBGYN (two consecutive years); Society for Maternal and Fetal Medicine Residency Program Award for Excellence in Obstetrics; Excellence in Research Award; Award for Distinction in Research and the International Peace Scholarship, given, in the clinic’s wording, for academic performance and commitment to community enhancement.
