When it’s time to visit RMA Southern California for a physical examination, you’ll meet your fertility doctor, Dr. Melanie Landay. Throughout your egg donation cycle, your doctor and nurse work closely together, tracking your labs, answering your questions, and monitoring your progress. Your doctor, alongside your nurse, is there for you every step of the way.

Dr. Melanie Landay is a board-certified Reproductive Endocrinologist.

Dr. Landay went to medical school at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) where she stayed for her residency in obstetrics and gynecology.

During her last year in residency, when fellow residents were decided on a sub-specialty, and women all around her were busy starting their families, a close childhood friend of Dr. Landay’s was having trouble starting hers. Saddled with a Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis, Dr. Landay’s friend chose to pursue In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), and often came to Dr. Landay for advice and support.

In an instant, she knew she would specialize in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI), and in 2010, when she completed her fellowship at the University of Southern California (USC), she was ready to realize the path she had conspired all her life to walk.
