About
Samantha Schon holds three board certifications at once — Obstetrics and Gynecology, Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, and Obesity Medicine — a combination the University of Michigan describes as unusual, and one chosen deliberately: it lets a single physician manage both the fertility treatment and the metabolic health that shapes its odds. She is an Assistant Professor in Michigan’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, specializing in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the Center for Reproductive Medicine.
Her named interests are reproductive endocrinology, fertility preservation, and weight management and reproduction. For a patient told that her BMI complicates stimulation or pregnancy, that means the obesity-medicine workup and the IVF plan are not two separate consultations with two separate opinions.
She is a Michigan Medicine product at both ends: MD from the University of Michigan Medical School, residency at the University of Pennsylvania, fellowship at Washington University.
Clinical Expertise
- Obesity and reproduction: the named center of her practice — fertility care designed around weight and metabolic health rather than despite it
- IVF: full cycle care within CRM’s program, with her metabolic lens applied to stimulation and pregnancy planning
- Fertility preservation: a listed interest, covering egg, embryo and sperm freezing offered at the center
- Reproductive endocrinology: hormone-related infertility evaluation and treatment, her first listed interest
Why Choose Dr. Schon
Three boards, one visit. OB/GYN, REI and Obesity Medicine certifications are individually rare; holding all three means weight-related fertility questions get answered by the specialist who also prescribes your cycle.
Her combination is recognized as uncommon. Michigan’s own profile language treats the triple certification as a distinguishing feature, not a footnote.
Training from Michigan to Pennsylvania to Washington University. MD at her current institution, with residency and fellowship at two other major academic programs.
