Dr. Arpita Sarmah is a fertility specialist and the Director & Chief Consultant of Janitva IVF, the Guwahati-based fertility centre she founded in 2016. For couples across Assam — from Guwahati and Jorhat to Tezpur and the Barak Valley — she has become a trusted name in IVF, ICSI and IUI care, known as much for her honesty and warmth as for her clinical experience.
This page sets out her qualifications, experience and approach, so you can decide for yourself whether she’s the right doctor to guide your journey to parenthood. We’d encourage you to verify her credentials independently — a good doctor welcomes that.
Qualifications & medical registration
Dr. Sarmah’s training follows the full path a genuine fertility specialist should have — a gynaecology foundation plus dedicated training in assisted reproduction:
- MBBS — University of Gauhati (Gauhati University), 2001
- MD in Obstetrics & Gynaecology — Gauhati Medical College, Guwahati, 2007 [⚠️ confirm whether this is MD or MS, and match it everywhere — see verify note]
- Fellowship in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) — Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune, 2011
She is a registered medical practitioner with the Assam Medical Council (Reg. No. [INSERT verified registration number]). [This registration number is the single strongest credential signal on the page — display it once you’ve confirmed it. Optionally link to the medical council register so visitors can verify.]
That extra ART fellowship is the qualification that matters most for IVF, and it’s what separates a fertility specialist from a general gynaecologist — it’s where the hands-on craft of IVF, ICSI, egg retrieval and embryo transfer is learned. If you’d like to understand why this matters when choosing a doctor, see what to look for in a fertility doctor.
Experience, specialisations & memberships
A doctor since 2001 and a dedicated fertility specialist since her ART fellowship in 2011, Dr. Sarmah has spent [INSERT confirmed figure] years in reproductive medicine. Before founding Janitva, she served as an ART Consultant at Hayat Hospital in Guwahati, building the experience that led her to open her own centre in 2016 with a single aim: to give every couple who walks through the door the best possible chance, delivered with honesty and care.

Her approach to fertility care
What couples remember about Dr. Sarmah is rarely a piece of technology — it’s how she made them feel. Fertility treatment is as much an emotional journey as a medical one, and her approach reflects that.
She believes in being straight with patients: realistic about success rates for your age and situation rather than selling false hope, clear about costs with no hidden surprises, and willing to recommend the simplest treatment that could work rather than reaching for the most expensive. She’d rather talk a couple out of an unnecessary procedure than perform one. That honesty, combined with genuine warmth and the continuity of seeing the same doctor through your whole cycle, is what has earned the trust of the [X]+* families she has helped become parents.
