“I love being part of the journey of people building their families. For patients to be successful, they need a strong relationship with their medical team as much as they need cutting-edge science.”
Jamie Massie, MD, is a board-certified OBGYN and reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist at ORM Fertility’s Bellevue clinic. “This is an incredibly exciting time in fertility care in the state of Washington,” explained Dr. Massie. “While I enjoyed treating military families over the past seven years of my Air Force career, I’m greatly looking forward to helping patients in Washington and beyond on their path to parenthood.”
Dr. Massie began her training as an OBGYN at Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi. Only a few months in to her internship, Hurricane Katrina struck, destroying the hospital where she worked. She was fortunate to be accepted into the program at Stanford University, where she remained while completing her OBGYN residency and reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellowship.
Ever since she was four years old, Dr. Massie knew she wanted to practice medicine. In the small town where she grew up, she saw that “some of the strongest, most passionate women in the community were women’s health providers.” Her desire to become an OBGYN developed in middle school when she cared for the child of a mother who was going through treatment and surgery. “I looked after the woman’s daughter during that time and became close to the family.” It started her down the path she’s still on today.
She always loved being an OBGYN, but when she began practicing reproductive endocrinology, she felt an even more significant connection with her patients.
That’s the part of patient care I’ve always loved the most—having a strong relationship with patients, and with a clinical team that is there for them throughout the process, giving them the best possible outcome.”
