About
Dr. David McLaughlin, MD, earned his undergraduate degree and his medical degree from Indiana University, where he served as class president for two years. He completed a rotating internship in 1971 and his OB-GYN residency in 1974, both at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. He holds board certification in OB-GYN and fellowships in both the American College of OB-GYN and the American College of Surgeons. During his years in Dayton, he pioneered the use of lasers in reproductive surgery and published nearly two dozen articles along with two textbooks. Humana then recruited him to help found the Indianapolis Fertility Center, where he gained deep experience in reproductive medicine.
Known to staff and patients alike as Dr. Mac, he established his solo private practice in Noblesville roughly two decades ago. In 1981 he began researching bioidentical hormone replacement therapy using subcutaneous estradiol and testosterone pellets, participating in an FDA Investigator study and continuing the work through the Institutional Review Board at Community Hospital. His philosophy is straightforward: replacing the same natural hormones the body has stopped producing is the logical approach to hormone care. He treats endometriosis, uterine fibroids, polycystic ovaries, pelvic pain, and uterine bleeding, and he helps couples pursue IVF at the certified facility within his building. His professional memberships include the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technologies, and the Society of Reproductive Surgeons. He holds Eagle Scout distinction and previously served as Ohio Section Chairman for ACOG.
