Physician's Statement:

Lisa A. Hasty, M.D., is an Atlanta fertility doctor and founding partner of Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine (ACRM), a fertility clinic in Georgia that offers first-line fertility treatment like ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination (IUI) and more advanced fertility treatment options, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), egg donor IVF, egg freezing, and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology, as well as in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Dr. Hasty has honed special interests in the field of infertility, including IVF, treating uterine myomas, and third-party reproduction.

Dr. Hasty’s vision when she founded the Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine in 1998 was to care for patients struggling with infertility through cost-effective, honest treatment with an individualized approach. As a leader in the field of infertility, Dr. Hasty has lectured across the country on topics like fertility diagnoses and fertility treatments.

After completing her residency and infertility fellowship, Dr. Hasty received a faculty appointment as well as a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine through 1992. She returned to Atlanta, where she was awarded a Principal Investigator role at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center at Emory University to study and research the possibility of the goretex pouch as an adjunct therapy for adhesion prevention. Following her completion of this study, Dr. Hasty remained at her alma mater to serve as Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, a position she maintains today.

A researcher in the field of infertility, Dr. Hasty has received considerable funding to back her research. For example, she has served as the Principal Investigator for an oocyte cryopreservation (egg freezing) study at ACRM that received a $1 million grant by the Friedman Foundation.
