Nasir Rana, M.D., M.P.H.
In loving memory of Dr. Nasir Rana (May 10, 1946 - March 16, 2023)
A founding partner of RMI, Dr. Rana dedicated his life towards helping others over the last 50 years. As a skilled laparoscopic surgeon, an expert in the diagnosis and management of endometriosis, and as a reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Rana has helped thousands of individuals. His expertise led him to have an incredibly successful academic career, where he helped hundreds of trainees also find their path in medicine.
His altruistic nature extended beyond how he cared for his patients, as every member of Team RMI has felt the effect of his kind heart; his humor and radiant demeanor always brought happiness to all. He was known as a father figure, but beyond this, as a friend who helped us through life’s ups and downs both personally and professionally. There is an endless list of happy memories that will continue to comfort us as we reflect on his life as well as on his renowned career as a physician.
Friend. Colleague. Physician. Mentor.
Forever in our hearts.
May he rest in peace.
Where did your interest in being a doctor, specifically a reproductive endocrinologist come from?
My uncle, a well-loved and respected physician; was a role model for me. Watching him encourage my desire to be a physician from an early age. My interest in Reproductive Medicine was peaked after first hearing about the birth of Louis Brown.
What drew you to RMI?
My partners and a shared philosophy of care. Our collective wisdom, expertise, and innate desire to treat our patients in a responsible manner will provide the best outcome.
What do you consider your special areas of interest in reproductive medicine and why?
I enjoy every aspect of being a Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility specialist, but my special interest is in the study and treatment of endometriosis and laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery.
