David P. Cohen, MD

Associate Professor of Obstetrics/Gynecology

Chief, Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

Dr. David Cohen is an expert in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. His primary focus is on fertility preservation for cancer patients--including fertility preservation for children and adolescents with cancer. His goal is to optimize the egg freezing process, and offer this service to patients facing treatments that lead to early menopause and to women interested in diminishing the age-related risks of infertility. He is also interested in the surgical management of many gynecologic disorders that are frequently associated with infertility, pelvic pain, or abnormal bleeding--such as endometriosis, fibroids, and tubal obstruction.

His recent research has focused on traditional and non-traditional medications that can be used in the prevention of osteoporosis as well as analyzing men with idiopathic hypogonadism and infertility. Dr. Cohen is involved in several research protocols designed to study new medications in the treatment of polycystic ovarian disease, endometriosis and infertility.

In addition to his clinical and research work, Dr. Cohen is a faculty member in the MacLean Center for Medical Ethics, and serves on the editorial board for the Journal of Experimental & Clinical Assisted Reproduction.
