Gilbert G. Haas, Jr., M.D.

Gilbert G. Haas, Jr., MD, a native Oklahoman, founded The Center For Reproductive Health in 1996. This assisted reproductive technology team was the second center in Oklahoma to perform a successful in vitro fertilization (in 1985), the second center in the state to achieve a pregnancy from a frozen embryo, the first center in the state to achieve a pregnancy from a donated oocyte, the first center in the state to achieve a pregnancy from sperm harvested from a man’s genital tract (MESA), and the first center in the state to have a pregnancy from an embryo which had developed to the blastocyst stage of development. Through his efforts, Oklahoma enacted the first state law in the United States protecting parents desiring a pregnancy from oocyte donation. Subsequently, he persuaded the Oklahoma legislature to enact a similar law protecting parents desiring a pregnancy from embryo donation.

Dr. Haas began his career in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Texas. He completed his residency at the University of Tennessee Center For the Health Sciences in Memphis. He then completed his fellowship and subsequent board certification at the University of Pennsylvania’s Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellowship program.

He continued his clinical efforts and research in reproductive immunology in regards to recurrent miscarriage and the negative effect of antisperm antibodies on fertility while an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania.

In 1984, Dr. Haas returned Oklahoma and founded the Section of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and served as the section Chief until 1996.

In 1996, he founded the Center For Reproductive Health, but he has continued as an adjunct professor in obstetrics and gynecology.

Dr. Haas has given over 50 presentations at national and international meetings, written 45 peer-reviewed journal articles, and published 30 book chapters on topics in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. He has been named to the editorial boards of Fertility and Sterility, American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, and the Journal of Andrology.
