Leyla Bilali is the Co-Founder and Chief Clinical Officer at Dandi, bringing a rare combination of professional expertise and personal experience to the world of fertility care. As both a seasoned fertility expert and a three-time IVF patient, Leyla offers unparalleled insight into the kind of compassionate, comprehensive support fertility patients truly need.
With over a decade of nursing experience, Leyla began her career as a pediatric nurse before shifting her focus to reproductive endocrinology. At one of New York City’s leading fertility clinics, she provided exceptional care to thousands of patients, earning a reputation for her expertise, empathy, and even a touch of humor. Recognized as "The Fertility Fairy Godmother," Leyla founded Fertility Together, a consulting service dedicated to guiding patients through the critical, often overwhelming moments of their IVF journey with personalized and compassionate care outside the clinic.
Her own fertility journey has given Leyla an intimate understanding of the emotional ups and downs that come with the process. This perspective shaped Dandi’s virtual support services, which fill a crucial gap in fertility care by offering real-time, personalized, and medically-credible guidance, coaching, and education.
