first, she wanted to know where they came from. Then, as she grew older, she

things still haven’t changed.
Dr. Gueye—her first name is pronounced NAY EYE-SHA and her last
name is pronounced GWAY—is now the lead fertility doctor at Reproductive
Medicine Associates of Pennsylvania, located in Allentown.
She spends her day helping patients dealing with infertility
achieve their dreams of parenthood, and counts her bless-
ings for the opportunity every day.
“When patients come in feeling helpless, I sit with them
and we come up with a treatment plan together,” Dr. Gueye
says.“Thatgivesthemhope,andit’sanincrediblefeelingfor
both of us.”
Sheadds,“TheLehighValleyissuchagreatplacetobuild

the opportunity to do that here.”
A New Jersey girl, Dr. Gueye graduated from medical school at Rutgers’
Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, where she developed a passion
for reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI). After completing her

Dr. Gueye and RMAPA offer the full spectrum of fertility
care to patients, from an initial consultation, to intrauterine
insemination, to IVF, if necessary.
“Patients should know there is no such thing as a one-size-
fits-all fertility treatment, and I work with every patient to come up with an
individualized plan that works for them,” says Dr. Gueye.
“The goal is always the same: to listen to the patient and help them achieve
their parenthood dreams.”
