Fertility Authority Recognizes Dr. David Keefe as Doctor-of-the-Month
March 31, 2010
FertilityAuthority, a web portal dedicated to fertility, encourages women and men to be proactive regarding their fertility and provides the tools and information to do so. For the month of April 2010, they have chosen to recognize Dr. David L. Keefe, Stanley Kaplan Professor and Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, as their Fertility Doctor of the Month.
In addition to being a nationally recognized physician-scientist, Dr. Keefe is also a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, which has greatly influenced his clinical practice. "I was trained in psychology by doctors who were well schooled and wise about how to approach disorders. We identify the unique journey and find the right path to optimize the chance to find satisfaction and happiness," he explains. Infertility can be emotionally painful for the couple affected. Dr. Keefe's understanding of the psychological implications of the disease, as well as the physical ones enables him to choose the best course of treatment.
