A recognized leader in women's health care issues, Dr. Husami has devoted his life to the twin missions of providing the highest standards of treatment in assisted reproductive technologies and finding a cure for endometriosis. As a reproductive endocrinologist and expert laparoscopist, Dr. Husami has extensive experience successfully treating endometriosis and infertility.

He is also Director of the Center for Endometriosis Treatment and Research at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons, where he oversees and conducts research into new ways to treat endometriosis.
In 1982, when the field of assisted reproductive technology (ART) was still in its infancy, Dr. Husami was one of a team of pioneers who established a program for IVF and embryo transfer (ET) at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, New York.
