Dr. Michael Homer earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He attended medical school at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, completed his reproductive medicine residency at The University of California, San Diego and fellowship in reproductive endocrinology, infertility at the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Homer is double board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. Dr. Homer’s special interests include polycystic ovary syndrome and oncofertility, as well as serving the LGBQT+ community. Dr. Homer initially planned on specializing in cardiology upon entering medical school. That quickly changed after he assisted on his first delivery. Right afterwards, he called his mom to thank her for going through that for him. He then made plans to do extra rotations in OB and quickly made a decision to focus on women's healthcare. According to Dr. Homer, the best part of his job as a fertility specialist is seeing a positive pregnancy test and making that phone call to his patient. Dr. Homer is especially proud of his bedside manner. He says he takes great pride in being able to listen, connect and guide his patients through their journey. He also makes it a mission to instill laughter during this process, if the patient is receptive. “It’s not always easy, obviously, but I’m pretty good at it!” says Dr. Homer. In his spare time Dr. Homer enjoys spending time with his wife, three daughters and mini Bernie-doodle. They are avid hikers on the weekend. Dr. Homer and his wife also thoroughly enjoy touring craft breweries (usually directly after the hike).
