After relocating to the United States, Dr. Jovanovic completed his residency in obstetrics & gynecology at Duke University in 2007, and his fellowship in reproductive endocrinology & infertility at Columbia University in 2010. These two programs are among the most competitive postgraduate training programs in the US, and only a selected group of physicians succeed in securing the training positions. During his fellowship in New York, he also attended the Mailman School of Public Health.

Distinguished as a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG), the doctor is board-certified in both obstetrics and gynecology & reproductive endocrinology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG).

Beyond providing services in Southern California, many patients travel from all over the world to seek his expertise as a reproductive care provider. His experiences of being a fertility care provider in different countries while utilizing an extended repertory of fertility drugs have made him a hard to match expert. 

Licensed to practice medicine in the United States, UK, Germany, and Spain, he has managed thousands of IVF cycles in both the US and Europe.

Upon moving to Los Angeles, Dr. Jovanovic worked at the Center for Fertility and Gynecology under Dr. Michael Vermesh.

Many other successful fertility specialists like Dr. Snunit Ben-Ozer, Dr. Eliran Mor, and Dr. Nurit Winkler and Dr. Marc Kalan started their careers in Los Angeles with Dr. Vermesh.

After acquiring the necessary experience to navigate the fertility landscape in Southern California, he took over the position of the Medical Director at Tree of Life Center from Dr. Ben-Ozer. He is also the Founder of Kinderwunschzentrum Los Angeles and Pacific Surrogacy and Egg Donation.

Obstetrics and gynecology (OB-GYN) is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics (covering pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period) and gynecology (covering the health of the female reproductive system – vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts). An obstetrician-gynecologist, or OB-GYN, is a healthcare professional who specializes in female reproductive health.

Speaking multiple languages, Dr. Jovanovic is fluent in English, German, Serbian and Russian.
