Brent M. Hanson
REPRODUCTIVE ENDOCRINOLOGIST
MD
San Diego, CA
“Every patient’s story is unique. I believe that exceptional fertility care requires an individualized, creative approach that blends compassion with cutting-edge medical technology. Building a family is a high-stakes endeavor, and successful outcomes matter. My years of training and private practice have given me the experience to manage even the most complex fertility issues, and I am humbled to have the opportunity to provide honest guidance to patients as we work together toward their goals.”
Originally from Minnesota, Dr. Hanson grew up primarily in Wisconsin before graduating from the University of Arizona Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa, with a Bachelor of Science in Physiology and a Bachelor of Arts in Latin American Studies.
He received his medical degree from the West Virginia University School of Medicine, where he was awarded the Dr. Hugh Carr Scholarship for academic excellence.
Dr. Hanson completed his obstetrics & gynecology residency at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. There, he earned the University of Utah Resident Research Award and was recognized for the Best Grand Rounds presentation.
He then completed a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at Thomas Jefferson University – Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey. During fellowship, his research focused on topics including preimplantation genetic testing, oocyte cryopreservation, male factor infertility, embryo culture, and fertility care via 3rd party reproduction for patients who identify as part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
Dr. Hanson practiced in Minneapolis for over 4 years prior to joining RMA San Diego. Outside of work, he is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys running, hiking, skiing, fishing, and traveling. He is always on the lookout for his next read, so any book recommendations are appreciated.
