Dr. Jerry K. Izu, M.D.

Dr. Izu received his medical degree from The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in 2000. After graduation, he continued as an Assistant Professor in Obstetrics and Gynecology. In 2004, he completed his residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. After residency, Dr. Izu continued his military career at Fort Hood, Texas. There he was Chief of Gynecology at Carl R. Darnall Medical Center, supervising 10 other physicians and providing medical care to two divisions of soldiers, their families and retired beneficiaries.

Dr. Izu was on faculty for the San Antonio Uniformed Services Health Education Consortium, training OB/GYN residents to perform minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic hysterectomy, operative vaginal deliveries, Cesarean deliveries, infertility treatment and other OB/GYN procedures. His military service included a tour with the 47th Combat Support Hospital in Tikrit, Iraq where he was Medical Director. He was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for providing outstanding medical care in an austere environment, treating patients with rare complications such as brain aneurysms and malaria. Providing medical care to military members and their families afforded Dr. Izu the unique experience of helping these patients through their health problems while dealing with the added stressors of deployment and separation. In 2011, Dr. Izu was honorably discharged from the United States Army and relocated with his wife Bernadette and their six children to Santa Clarita so that they could be close to their extended family. Dr. Izu enjoys working together with his patients to achieve their health goals and is always accessible to each patient by personal cell phone.
