Jillian Kurtz, DO, is a board-certified OBGYN, and a board-eligible reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist at ORM Fertility’s Portland location. As a Portland native, she is “very excited to be back in the Pacific Northwest and to start serving patients here,” following her medical training in Colorado, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Dr. Kurtz’s passion for women’s health and overall reproductive health was sparked well before medical school when she worked at Planned Parenthood during college as a patient advocate. “Helping women through vulnerable situations has always felt natural and normal for me,” she says. “I grew up with three sisters and have always been drawn to taking care of women.”

Her interest in reproductive autonomy grew from there to include advocating for people’s right to build the families they desire.
