Professional Experience
A graduate of the University of California-Los Angeles in psychobiology and neuroscience, Dr. Shala Salem earned an M.D.
degree from St.
George’s University School of Medicine before training in obstetrics and gynecology at New York’s Brooklyn Hospital Center.
She joined the Pacific Reproductive Center in 2009.
She believes that successful infertility treatment begins with the integration of body and mind.
“We succeed best when we strive to help keep the whole person in balance.
That requires not just good medicine but also a steady focus on nutrition, exercise, and emotional well-being.
Maintaining the balance takes an active partnership between patient and doctor, whose first job is to be the best listener possible.”
Areas of Practice
Dr. Shala recently completed a fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona under the direction of Dr. Andrew Weil.
Integrative Medicine seeks to evaluate how all aspects of a patient’s lifestyle impacts his or her health, including stress levels, diet, and sleep.
She enjoys spending time with her husband and three children as well as cooking healthy meals, crafting, and painting.
