She is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, reproductive endocrinology, and clinical reproductive immunology. Dr. Abbasi has been chosen annually by her peers as a Washingtonian magazine “Top Doc.”
Female Infertility
Infertility in Women: Problems with ovulation cause most cases of female infertility. When ovulation doesn’t occur, there’s no egg for the sperm to fertilize. Certain gynecological conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), may cause ovulation problems.
Obstetrics
A New Orleans native, Dr. Sacks earned his medical degree at the Louisiana State University School of Medicine. He went on to complete an obstetrics and gynecology residency and a reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellowship at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Dr. Sacks started working with the Columbia Fertility Associates team during his medical training, and he officially joined the practice in 1992.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition where the tissue that normally lines your uterus begins to grow on the outside of the uterus. This lining, known as the endometrium, can develop on the tissue that lines your pelvis, on your ovaries, and your bowel.
Pelvic Pain
Pregnancy

Mental Health
When you go home, you should rest and take care of your emotional and mental health. Your doctor can provide advice and a referral for mental health support if you need it.

Endocrinologist

Endocrinology
Rafat A. Abbasi, MD, FACOG is a highly respected physician at Columbia Fertility Associates in Washington, D.C. Dr. Abbasi practices reproductive endocrinology and infertility. She is especially interested in recurrent pregnancy loss and implantation failure.

Ultrasound
Sequential Screen: This test is done during pregnancy and uses data collected from your first-trimester ultrasound, along with a blood test during the first and second trimester to assess risk for Down syndrome, trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome), and neural tube defects.
Chemotherapy
Egg freezing might also be a consideration if you’re in need of a medical treatment that may harm the health of your eggs, such as chemotherapy or radiation.

Hysterectomy
Laparoscopy
Egg Retrieval and Fertilization: An expert surgeon at Columbia Fertility Associates retrieves the mature eggs from your ovaries through a minimally invasive procedure. You may be under light anesthesia during the procedure. Your surgeon uses ultrasound guidance or a technique called laparoscopy to retrieve the eggs. Then, they place the eggs in culture dishes and move the dishes to an incubator set to your body temperature. Shortly after they retrieve the woman’s eggs, the male partner provides a semen sample, which gets processed to isolate the most vigorous sperm for insemination. Then, the experts at Columbia Fertility Associates examine the eggs for signs of normal fertilization and may schedule embryo transfer any time between two and six days after egg retrieval.

Plastic Surgeons

Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery also allows your physician the opportunity to take a sample of the excess tissue that they can examine under a microscope.
