About Me
Saimah Talukder, MD, is a gynecologist at WK Pierremont Health Center. She takes time to create long-term bonds with women as she works closely with them throughout different life stages. Dr. Talukder treats infertile couples, recurrent miscarriages, abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain and menstrual irregularities. She has a special interest in female sexual disfunction, menopause, hormone replacement therapy, adolescent gynecology and vulvar problems.
Her worldwide education began with a medical degree at University of Dhaka in Bangladesh, followed by an internship at the same institution. She trained in London, England, followed by fellowship training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at St. Bartholomew's and The London Hospitals Trust. She did an additional residency at George Washington University Medical Center in Washington, D.C. Dr. Talukder is board certified by the United Kingdom’s Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
When not working with patients, Dr. Talukder enjoys traveling with her husband and daughter. She is an avid theater, music and movie buff. Dr. Talukder is a supporting patron of many local performance establishments in Shreveport-Bossier City.
Dr. Talukder knows all too well that a gynecologist is often a woman’s only primary care provider and does not take that role lightly. She strives to provide all encompassing and compassionate care, which starts with listening attentively to every client who chooses her as their physician.
