About Mark
GWK Academy is thrilled to welcome Dr. Mark Leondires as our IVF Advisor! A leader in the field of reproductive medicine, Dr. Leondires is the Founder and Medical Director of Illume Fertility and the visionary behind Gay Parents To Be, a program dedicated to helping LGBTQ+ individuals and couples navigate their path to parenthood.
His passion for supporting LGBTQ+ families stems from his own journey—Dr. Leondires and his husband, Greg, became parents through egg donation and surrogacy, an experience that inspired him to create a more inclusive and supportive approach to assisted reproduction.
Board-certified in both Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) and Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility (REI), Dr. Leondires has been recognized as a Best Doctor in America, a Top Doc by Castle Connolly, and a Path to Parenthood Visionary Award recipient. His dedication to breaking down barriers in family building makes him an invaluable addition to GWK Academy, where he’ll provide expert guidance to future dads embarking on their own IVF journeys.
