About Dr. Shane Lipskind
Dr. Shane Lipskind is the Medical Director and Director of Fertility Preservation at CCRM Fertility of Arizona, formerly Arizona Center for Fertility Studies (ACFS). He also serves as Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Phoenix.
He came to the field as a fertility patient himself, and says so on the clinic’s site — “Family is everything” — framing the work as a team problem rather than a single-doctor one: the clinic’s full range of specialists and current advances in reproductive medicine applied to each cycle.
He earned his MD from the University of Arizona, completed his OB/GYN residency at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, and finished his fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Harvard University’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
