Biography

Dr. Korkidakis is a Reproductive Endocrinologist at Boston IVF.

Dr. Korkidakis was born and raised in a large Greek family in Montreal, Quebec, and is fluent in French and Greek.

She graduated with honors from McGill University with a major in Anatomy and Cell Biology, where she was awarded for her achievement in basic science research. She then completed a medical degree at McGill University and an Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at Queen’s University. She graduated from Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellowships at both the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School in Boston.

Her interest in promoting reproductive health and access to fertility care for all individuals needing assistance building their families led her to complete a Master’s in Public Health at Johns Hopkins University. She has presented this research at both national and international meetings. Her work identifying the fertility needs of adolescents and young adults with cancer was awarded the Fertility Preservation Prize Paper at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine Annual Meeting.

Dr. Korkidakis’ current research interests include understanding early embryo development, optimizing management in recurrent pregnancy loss, and identifying ongoing barriers to fertility care.

She lives in Newton, Massachusetts, with her husband, Daniel, a Spine Trauma Surgeon, and their two young children, Theo and Estelle. She enjoys reading, discovering new restaurants, and practicing Bachata dancing.

Dr. Korkidakis is an active candidate for the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the New England Fertility Society, the Pacific Coast Reproductive Society, the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
