Barry W. Donesky, MD

Fertility specialist in Chattanooga and Knoxville.

Barry Donesky graduated from Loma Linda University Medical School in Southern California in 1987. Following his graduation, he completed a two-year internship followed by a three-year residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Loma Linda’s Medical Center. In 1991, he began a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology at the University of Maryland at Baltimore.

During his residency, he prescribed a fertility medication to a patient. It worked, and he was hooked on what he calls a “happy specialty” and has never looked back. Dr. Donesky divides his time between Chattanooga and Knoxville, serving as a fertility specialist at both of our locations.

His gentle, understanding nature and dedication to his patients make their journeys to fertility a little bit easier. “Taking care of patients and fanning the sparks of hope—that’s the bottom line for me,” he says.
