Dr. Diane Ahn

Dr. Ahn’s interest in the field of reproductive medicine started as an undergraduate student in Toronto, where her favourite course was the physiology of reproduction. This continued in medical school, where she became increasingly interested in women’s health, leading her to pursue an Obstetrics and Gynecology residency program at Dalhousie University. During her training, she was fortunate to be mentored by several attending physicians who were double board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology as well as Gynecologic Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility (GREI). They sparked a real interest and curiosity in her to be involved in the care of patients who were silently struggling with the often-unspoken topic of infertility. She felt it was a real privilege to be able to journey with these patients and to be able to offer diagnostic testing and treatment options for them. In some cases, she was able to follow them through their pregnancy and delivery as well. Dr. Ahn was inspired through these experiences to pursue a GREI fellowship, where she had more opportunities to be a part of this journey for others. After a beautiful decade in the Maritimes, Dr. Ahn and her family moved across the country to join a new clinic that was being established in Edmonton, Pacific Centre for Reproductive Medicine in Edmonton (PCRM Edmonton) in 2016.

Over many years of practicing in this specialty, she knows that every person and/or couple is unique in their individual values and expectations. It takes incredible courage and vulnerability to seek out care and treatment for infertility or pregnancy loss. This is what you can expect from Dr. Ahn:

1. Transparency
2. Addressing your stated fertility goals and concerns
3. Compassion
4. Respecting your autonomy
5. Trying to achieve success without distress

Her academic interests include oncofertility, fertility preservation, endometriosis, PMOS and recurrent pregnancy loss.
