Summary

  • Dr. H. Randall Craig is a board certified Reproductive Endocrinologist / Infertility Specialist and OB/Gyn. He earned his medical degree and did his residency at Washington University Medical Center in St. Louis. His fellowship in Infertility and Reproductive Endocrinology was completed at the University of Chicago and the distinguished Michael Reese Hospital.

    Before he became a physician, Dr. Craig was a low temperature physicist. He loved the profession, but the only jobs available at the time of his graduation where in the defense weapons industry, which didn't interest him. After completing his degree in biomedical engineering, he realized he enjoyed the medical aspect more than the engineering aspect, and decided to apply to medical school. He was never a premedical student, and had to test out of college biology, then passed the MCAT test in the 99th percentile. He was accepted at the Washington University School of Medicine, one of the most selective in the country, accepting only 120 students from an applicant pool of nearly 9,000. Dr. Craig was drawn to the field of reproductive technology because it offers the opportunity to make a fundamental impact on patient's lives.

    After graduating from fellowship, he moved to Phoenix to become the Director of the in vitro fertilization program at AFI. After establishing the success of that program, he then founded the Fertility Treatment Center (FTC) in 1990, which is the state’s oldest and most comprehensive board certified reproductive practice. Instead of a standard private practice, FTC was designed as an academic/research center, and was upgraded to a full research medical institute in 2005, moving to the Arizona State University Research Park in May of 2006.

    Dr. Craig finds his profession incredibly rewarding, and greatly enjoys going to work each day.
