Prior to his fellowship, he  completed his Ob/Gyn residency at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, GA.

Dr. Sara Rizk is a board certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist with over a decade of experience. She is passionate about patient education and the importance of shared decision making between a patient and their care provider. Dr. Rizk moved to the United States at 17 to pursue her medical education and graduated from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in 2009. She completed her residency in her self-proclaimed home town of Detroit at Wayne State University before completing a one year pelvic surgery fellowship at Emory University.

Recognizing the need for full scope women’s healthcare providers in the south, Dr. Rizk joined the Ob/Gyn faculty at Emory University where she spent 9 years of her career. During that time she was heavily involved in resident education and was assistant program director for 3 years. As part of her dedication to health education she completed the Woodruff Health Educator Academy Fellowship and was a proud recipient of multiple teaching awards.

When life brought Dr. Rizk to Chicago she joined the Advocate Illinois Masonic Ob/Gyn department where she was able to provide compassionate and empathetic care to an incredibly ethnically, socioeconomically and sexually diverse patient population. In her short time there Dr. Rizk was voted by her peers as one of Chicagos Top Docs as listed in the January 2024 issue of Chicago Magazine. Her time in Atlanta and Albany Park only further cemented Dr. Rizk’s commitment to improving health disparities and inequities.

Kindbody’s commitment to bridging the gap in women’s healthcare and especially in female infertility and reproductive care drew Dr. Rizk to enter the world of fertility. She joined the Kindbody team in October 2023 and has had the privilege of helping women conceive via IVF or preserve their fertility through egg freezing as they work on achieving a variety of life goals before starting a family of their own.

She is honored and proud of the privilege to serve and care for her patients and their families as they look to create the family of their dreams.
