Get to know Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility Specialist Dr. Emmett F. Branigan, who serves patients in Bellingham, Washington. 

Recognized as a top reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist, Dr. Branigan sees patients at Bellingham IVF & Infertility Care in Bellingham, Washington. His proven success rates have remained steady and high for the last two decades.

Bellingham IVF & Infertility Care is Northwest Washington’s only fertility clinic North of the Seattle area. Every treatment is special and every patient is unique, specifically designed to make sure they get the best care at the optimal times. 

“Bellingham IVF offers a unique experience compared to what you could find at most infertility clinics. We have a long history of state of the ART fertility care delivered with a personal touch. Our pregnancy rates for all of our procedures, from the most advanced IVF procedures to inseminations and ovulation inductions, have been among the very best of any clinic since 1995” as stated on the practice’s website. 

The doctor’s acclaimed career in medicine began after he earned his medical degree from the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine in Huntington, Virginia in 1981. He then went on to complete his residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Washington.

Always putting his patients’ first, Dr. Branigan’s experience with natural IVF, minimal stimulation IVF, and customized protocols allow him to create successful treatment options. He also understands that the quality of one’s fertility care experience affects the outcome of their pregnancy – which is why he has implemented an approach that takes both physical and emotional well-being into account.

Reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) is a surgical subspecialty of obstetrics and gynecology that trains physicians in reproductive medicine addressing hormonal functioning as it pertains to the reproduction, as well as the issue of infertility. While most REI specialists primarily focus on the treatment of infertility, reproductive endocrinologists are trained to also evaluate and treat hormonal dysfunctions in females and males outside after the reproductive years.
