Dr. Mickey S. Coffler was recently interviewed by Jake Frankel for Authority Magazine titled “Dr Mickey S Coffler of HRC Fertility: 5 Things I Wish Someone Told Me When I First Became A Doctor.”

Dr. Mickey Coffler MD, FACOG is a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist at HRC Fertility (Carlsbad and San Diego locations) and is dedicated to helping patients build their families. With a background from the Israel Institute of Technology, Rambam Medical Center and UC San Diego, he is an expert in reproductive endocrinology. Dr. Coffler has contributed to national and international meetings, and his research has been published in leading medical journals.

Dr. Coffler states, “One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned, often through the challenges I faced, is the importance of recognizing that ‘you don’t know what you don’t know.’ This realization is particularly pertinent in the field of medicine. Earlier in my career, I made some mistakes that stemmed from a lack of knowledge and, unfortunately, a lack of experience. What matters most is the ability to learn from these mistakes and continuously challenge our knowledge. It’s crucial to remain committed to ongoing learning because believing you’re infallible can lead you down the wrong path. The key is acknowledging that there is always more to learn, making lifelong learning an essential part of our journey.”
