Talk 01

The Fertility Doctor Who Couldn’t Get Pregnant

I Wrote the Manual. But I Still Needed a Miracle.

Best for Consumer events, the trying-to-conceive community, patient summits, retreats

Dr. Noorhasan has spent two decades helping families conceive, and years on the other side of the exam table herself. She shares what the science can do, what it can’t, and how to hold on to hope without losing yourself.

Audiences leave with

  • A clear-eyed view of their options
  • Better questions to ask their own doctors
  • Permission to grieve and keep going

Talk 02

Plan F: What Five Failed Plans Taught a Fertility Doctor About Getting to Yes

Resilience lessons from an immigrant, a stroke survivor, a physician, and a mother.

Best for Women’s leadership events, corporate audiences, associations, healthcare groups

A childhood shaped by loss, a stroke at 23, and a family built through five retrievals and a surrogate. Almost nothing in her life went to Plan A. This keynote is about changing the plan without giving up on the goal.

Audiences leave with

  • A practical way to separate the goal from the plan
  • How to “grieve, learn, grow, and not stay stuck”

Talk 03

Hot, Bothered, and Board-Certified

A Menopause Society Certified Practitioner on hormones, longevity, and thriving in your second half.

Best for Women’s conferences, corporate wellness, retreats

Hot flashes, brain fog, sleepless nights, and the weight that won’t move. Dr. Noorhasan has treated it all and lived it herself. This is a frank, funny, evidence-based talk on perimenopause, menopause, hormone therapy, strength, and longevity.

Audiences leave with

  • What’s actually happening in their bodies
  • Questions to bring to their doctor about hormone therapy
  • Habits that protect strength and energy for the long run

Talk 04

Who Gets to Be a Parent? Closing the Gap in Fertility Care

Why fertility care isn’t equal, and what clinicians, employers, and patients can do about it.

Best for Medical societies, healthcare conferences, benefits and DEI audiences

Research shows Black women have about twice the odds of infertility as white women, even after accounting for income and other risk factors. Cost, coverage, mistrust, and bias widen that gap. Dr. Noorhasan, FertilityEquity-certified in culturally competent care, walks through the data and the fixes.

Audiences leave with

  • Where the gaps come from
  • Concrete steps for clinics and employers to start closing them

Patient stories

In their words.

Three families on what it was like to have Dr. Noorhasan in their corner.

She just came in and she goes, ‘It’s going to be okay.’ She’s like, ‘We’ve got this.’ … It just made me think that it was actually possible instead of thinking that I was just damaged goods.
Kaylee

We even laughed a little bit, which I don’t think I had laughed at a doctor’s office in years at that point. … She gave us hope when we had none.
Ryan & Meagan
Become a patient Book her to speak
Her warmth and the fact that she’s been through it also made me feel secure. … Thanks to her, I have my baby.

About

Twenty years of the hardest conversations in medicine.

Dr. Dorette Noorhasan

Dr. Noorhasan was born in Guyana and grew up in St. Croix. She went into medicine because of two things her family lived through: a baby sister who died at seven months of an infection that an American hospital would have treated in an afternoon, and her mother’s stillbirth at term — a heartbeat at the last office visit, none by the time she arrived to deliver.

At 23, in the middle of a medical rotation, she had a stroke — which is how she learned she had been born with a heart defect. Years later, building her own family took five egg retrievals and a gestational surrogate before her son, her only child, arrived. Patients get a fertility doctor who has sat on their side of the exam room.

She trained at Boston University School of Medicine, completed her OB/GYN residency at the University of Texas in Houston and her reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellowship at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, and is board certified in both reproductive endocrinology and infertility and obstetrics and gynecology. She has been in private practice since 2009.

Short bio

Dr. Dorette Noorhasan is the fertility doctor who couldn’t get pregnant. A double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner and host of The Modern Parenthood Podcast, she built her own family through five egg retrievals and a gestational surrogate, the story behind Miracle Baby. A Texas Monthly and Castle Connolly Top Doctor, she speaks nationwide with rare honesty, warmth and wit.

Long bio

Dr. Dorette Noorhasan is the fertility doctor who couldn’t get pregnant. For twenty years she has helped thousands of families welcome the children they dreamed of. Building her own took five egg retrievals, a gestational surrogate and every ounce of the hope she had spent a career handing to patients.

Born in Guyana and raised in the Caribbean as the eldest child of an immigrant family, she survived a stroke at 23 and kept going. She graduated summa cum laude from the University of the Virgin Islands, earned her MD at Boston University School of Medicine, trained in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Texas at Houston, and completed her fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at New Jersey Medical School. Today she is double board-certified in both specialties and a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner.

She is the author of Miracle Baby: A Fertility Doctor’s Fight for Motherhood, the first book on fertility and surrogacy written by a doctor who has been both the physician and the patient, and The Fertility Manual. She hosts The Modern Parenthood Podcast and has been featured on The Girlfriend Doctor with Dr. Anna Cabeca and The Jeff Crilley Show.

A Texas Monthly and D Magazine Top Doctor and one of Castle Connolly’s Exceptional Women in Medicine, Dr. Noorhasan practices in Dallas–Fort Worth. On stage she is frank, funny and disarmingly human, whether the subject is infertility, resilience, menopause or who gets access to care.
