About
Rashmi Kudesia holds a board certification in lifestyle medicine alongside her two ABOG certificates, in obstetrics and gynecology and in reproductive endocrinology and infertility, and she carries a master’s degree in clinical research methods on top of that. The combination shapes how she sees the first visit: what does the evidence say about this specific patient’s chances, and what can she change before stimulation starts.
She trained coast to coast — MD at Duke University School of Medicine, obstetrics and gynecology residency at New York Presbyterian Hospital, reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellowship at Montefiore Medical Center, and the research methodology master’s at Albert Einstein College of Medicine — and sums up her own path as “from Brown to Duke, Mount Sinai to Weill-Cornell.” She moved to Houston in 2018 and has practiced at CCRM Fertility of Houston since, holding clinic at both the Main Center on Gessner Road and the Sugar Land office. Living magazine named her a Best Fertility Specialist in Fort Bend County, which is where Sugar Land sits.
Her listed specialty interests are IVF cycle prognosis, PCOS, LGBTQIA+ family building, gestational surrogacy, fertility awareness, counseling, access to care and reproductive genetics. Her profile also describes her as an advocate for women’s reproductive rights in Texas. She is listed as accepting new patients.
Clinical Expertise
- IVF cycle prognosis: her first-named specialty — using individual patient data to estimate what a cycle is likely to produce, rather than quoting a clinic average
- PCOS and androgen excess: named on her profile, and she holds membership in the Androgen Excess and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (AE-PCOS) Society
- LGBTQIA+ family building: reciprocal IVF, donor gamete paths and preservation, listed among her specialty interests and among the Houston service lines
- Gestational surrogacy: medical management of carrier cycles, with the legal track run by counsel
- Lifestyle medicine applied to fertility: diet, activity, sleep and mental health as part of the plan around a cycle, backed by a board certification rather than a pamphlet
- Reproductive genetics and counseling: carrier screening and genetic risk assessment are named interests, with embryo testing read in-network at CCRM Genetics
- Access to care: listed on her profile among her clinical interests
Why Choose Dr. Rashmi Kudesia
Three boards, not one. OB/GYN, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, and lifestyle medicine. Patients with PCOS, where weight, insulin and sleep sit underneath the ovulation problem, get a physician who can work both the medication protocol and the layer beneath it.
She trained in research methods, and uses them. An MSc in clinical research methods sits behind a specialty interest in cycle prognosis: the honest answer to “what are my odds” depends on which denominator you use, and that is the ground her second degree covers.
Two Houston offices, one clinician. She sees patients at both the Main Center and Sugar Land, so Southwest Houston and Fort Bend County patients can monitor closer to home.
A recognized name in the region. Castle Connolly Top Doctor, Castle Connolly Top AAPI Doctor, Houstonia magazine Top Doctor, New York Super Doctors Rising Star from her East Coast years, and a Living magazine best-specialist listing in Fort Bend County.
She is on the record about access. Her profile names her as an advocate for women’s reproductive rights in Texas, and access to care is listed among her clinical interests.
