As the founding physician of Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute, Hawaii’s first established IVF clinic, Dr. Thomas Kosasa continues to assist couples and individuals who struggle to achieve pregnancy. Pacific In Vitro first made headlines for Hawaii’s first “test tube” baby in 1985 and has since delivered thousands of babies. Dr. Kosasa brings experience, knowledge, and the highest quality of care in a supportive environment to couples and individuals who have tried to start families without success. Dr. Kosasa graduated with distinction in architecture from Dartmouth College and completed his residency and fellowship in reproductive endocrinology at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Kosasa has practiced obstetrics and gynecology for over 50 years and in that time has delivered over 10,460 babies. He rose to the rank of Major in the U.S. Army, is an accomplished pilot and flight instructor and won the North Atlantic Road Racing series driving a Porsche. Dr. Kosasa has led an exciting life. But nothing excites him more than bringing a new life into the world. For decades, he’s helped countless mothers through childbirth with his experience, technical expertise, and kindness. He is steadfast in his belief that being kind is important, and everything one does must come from the heart. In addition to helping thousands realize their dream of starting a family, Dr. Kosasa has influenced new generations of physicians. As a professor emeritus and past chief of reproductive endocrinology at the University of Hawaii John A. Burns School of Medicine, he has been teaching and sharing his vast knowledge with medical students. Dr. Kosasa views teaching as a privilege and continues to have a student with him for every delivery—furthering his impact on future physicians and adding to his number of special deliveries.
