Dr. John Storment (born February 4, 1965) is an American Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility Doctor and reproductive rights advocate in Louisiana.[1][2][3][4]
In 2002, Storment built his practice, Fertility Answers, and has offices in Lafayette and Baton Rouge.[5]
Education[edit]
Storment attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA, where he obtained his Bachelor's degree. Afterwards, Storment earned his medical degree from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in Shreveport, LA. Following medical school, Dr. Storment completed his Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at University of Texas Health Sciences Center. Finally, Dr. Storment concluded with his Reproductive endocrinology and infertility Fellowship at Fletcher Allen Health Care at the University of Vermont College of Medicine in Burlington, Vermont in 1999.[6][7]
Advocacy[edit]
Dr. John Storment has written various letters to editors about the impact and dangers legislation and regulations can impose on patients and practitioners in the fertility and reproductive world. In his June 27, 2023 letter to The Advocate (Louisiana) in response to Stephanie Grace, Storment expressed his concerns about the ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. In this specific letter, Storment states that there are only 10 Reproductive endocrinology and infertility physicians who treat infertility cases in the state of Louisiana, with most heading toward retirement. He expresses his concern through his own experience of an Reproductive endocrinology and infertility hire canceling their contract after learning about the strict abortion laws in the state, which leads him to believe that Reproductive endocrinology and infertility physicians are choosing to go towards more reproductive-friendly areas out-of-state to practice. His goal is to educate the public on the intricacies of regulations on practitioners in women's health so they can make thoughtful decisions for the well-being of practitioners and those in need of treatment.[8]
Storment has also advocated for cancer patients to have access to reproductive treatments such as egg and sperm cryopreservation through health insurance.[9]
Gift Of Hope IVF Program[edit]
Dr. John Storment and his wife, Amelie Storment, established the Gift of Hope Program in 2006, which gives couples the opportunity to go through a cycle of IVF for those who are unable to afford treatment. Typically, one round of IVF treatment can cost a couple an estimated $15,000-$18,000. The program is an application process where couples are required to submit a statement on their infertility diagnosis, be a resident of Louisiana, and have a household annual income under $120,000.[10][11] Since its inception, The Gift of Hope IVF Grant has welcomed nine babies into the world.
