Dr. Kaitlyn Wald, United States

Dr. Kaitlyn Wald is committed to building trusting, collaborative relationships with patients. Her approach centers on compassionate education that empowers patients to make informed choices about their treatment plans. Dr. Wald works closely with patients to develop personalized care strategies based on their unique needs. She is honored to support couples during such a meaningful and transformative time in their lives. Deeply empathetic to the stress and uncertainty infertility can bring, she guides patients through the physical and emotional challenges of the journey while working toward the best possible outcome.

Dr. Wald began her academic career at Syracuse University, graduating with honors in biology. A Seattle-area native, she returned home to work in a medical genetics laboratory before earning her medical degree at the University of Washington School of Medicine. She completed her obstetrics and gynecology residency at the University of Washington, followed by a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the University of California, San Francisco.

"I am a proud Seattle native who grew up on the Sammamish Plateau. I was even born at the University of Washington Medical Center, where I later returned to complete my medical training.

Dr. Wald's clinical and research interests include helping couples affected by inherited conditions that require preimplantation genetic diagnosis, studying the genetics of ovarian aging, and understanding how endometriosis affects fertility. She is particularly passionate about helping women with cancer preserve their fertility so they have options for conception after treatment. During her fellowship, she focused on fertility preservation for cancer patients and authored several publications on optimal strategies for this unique population.

Dr. Wald sees patients at the Everett location. Outside work, she enjoys spending time with family, distance running, skiing, attending local sporting events, and exploring the Pacific Northwest's natural beauty.
