Deepika Garg, MD

Deepika Garg, MD, is an obstetrician-gynecologist who specializes in reproductive endocrinology. She focuses on infertility, fertility preservation, recurrent pregnancy loss, and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.

Dr. Garg says she was drawn to reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) during her Ob/Gyn residency training.

“When I was delivering babies for patients, I would have the chance to hear their stories of how they became pregnant,” she says. “For many of them, it was after fertility treatment and challenging times. They would be very emotional about finally having their baby. I realized I wanted to help women with those fertility challenges.”

One of the highlights of her job, Dr. Garg says, is the diversity of care she can provide to a wide range of patients. “I love that I have the combination of surgical and medical specialties rolled into one,” she says. “Coming from India, I am sensitive to different cultures and backgrounds and understand the importance starting a family can have for many people.”

When she meets a patient for the first time, Dr. Garg says the most important thing she can do is listen. “I ask them what they want to know from me rather than immediately jumping into a long medical explanation,” she says.

Dr. Garg’s research interests include fertility preservation.
