Sana Salih, MD, MS, HCLD, is double board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology and reproductive endocrinology and infertility, and she is credentialed as a high-complexity laboratory director. Dr. Salih provides compassionate and comprehensive care to patients who dream of building a family but are struggling with infertility issues or recurrent pregnancy loss. Her practice is rooted in a patient-centric approach to care where Dr. Salih works with each patient/couple individually to customize a treatment plan for each woman’s or family’s unique reproductive goals. Her expertise in infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss promotes comprehensive evaluation and management, including advanced reproductive technology such as in-vitro fertilization, fertility preservation and preimplantation genetic diagnosis.
Dr. Salih treats a wide range of conditions that can be associated with infertility, including endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), blockage of fallopian tubes and diminished ovarian reserve. As an expert in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, Dr. Salih offers hysteroscopy and laparoscopy surgery, when indicated, for uterine fibroids and uterine anomalies, such as uterine septum and uterine adhesions.
Dr. Salih participates in the University of Chicago Fertility Preservation Program, which provides oocyte, sperm, embryo and testicular tissue cryopreservation for patients receiving gonadotoxic chemotherapy for cancer and non-cancer indications, those in military service, and patients at risk for a genetic disease may benefit from this program.
In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. Salih is committed to ongoing research, investigating new and innovative therapies that can improve fertility and fertility preservation for her patients. She is a collaborator in a National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded project to study the genetic basis for recurrent miscarriage. Her work has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, Reproductive Sciences, Fertility and Sterility and more.
