Dr. William Hummel of San Diego Fertility Center Named "Top Doctor" by San Diego County Medical Society


San Diego Fertility Center is proud to announce that Dr. William Hummel has been selected as one of San Diego’s "Top Doctors" by the San Diego County Medical Society (SDCMS) and San Diego Magazine. This prestigious honor, awarded to Dr. Hummel four times in the past six years, highlights his exceptional contributions to the field of fertility treatment and reproductive medicine.



Recognizing Physicians of Excellence

The "Top Doctor" recognition is a mark of exceptional skill, dedication, and patient care. Members of the San Diego County Medical Society were asked to recommend specialists within their field, identifying doctors they would trust with a family member’s care. Physicians were also invited to nominate professionals outside of their specialty whom they believed demonstrated excellence. Out of 8,855 active board-certified physicians in the San Diego area, only approximately 5.1% were selected for this distinguished recognition.

Dr. Hummel’s inclusion in this exclusive group underscores his expertise in the field of reproductive endocrinology and his dedication to helping individuals and couples achieve their dreams of parenthood.



A Legacy of Excellence in Fertility Treatment

Dr. Hummel, who has been board certified since 1990, has assisted thousands of patients in overcoming infertility challenges and building families. After completing his Fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he founded San Diego Fertility Center (SDFC), one of the most renowned fertility clinics in Southern California.

Dr. Hummel’s medical education began at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, and he completed his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Stanford University Medical Center. His extensive training and experience have earned him a reputation as a leader in fertility treatments such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), egg donation, and fertility preservation.
