EP 241 Important Points to Consider When it Comes to Fertility Treatments | Dr. Ellen Goldstein

Dr. Goldstein is one of the most trusted names in fertility and is highly recommended by her patients for her communication, responsiveness, and attention to detail. She has guided her patients through more than one thousand in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles and consistently delivers some of the highest pregnancy rates in the industry. 

Dr. Goldstein obtained her MD from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City and is a double board-certified OB-GYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist. 

During her time as a Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellow at UCLA and Cedars-Sinai Medical Centers, Dr. Goldstein published and presented internationally her revolutionary discovery of an important genetic mutation that causes what had previously been considered an unexplained cause of familial infertility.

In an industry that is continually becoming less personalized, Dr. Goldstein is proof that you can provide world-class fertility care and empower hopeful parents to choose a fertility journey that aligns with their goals before anything else.  She weaves her way through the often overwhelming world of fertility care with intuition and empathy, to make sure her patients have a clear understanding of their diagnosis and treatment options.

Dr. Goldstein is a fertility specialist at Beverly Hills Fertility and a partner of Innovative Health Diagnostics, which offers a variety of at-home tests, such as the AMH test, which focuses on infertility, as well as tests for COVID-19, general health biometric screening and both molecular and antibody STDs.

Dr. Goldstein lives in Santa Monica with her two children and her husband. When she is not taking care of patients, she enjoys rowing, kayaking, yoga, traveling, and hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains.
