Completing his three year residency, Dr. Kustin moved to London where he worked at St. Mary's Hospital, a large teaching institution in the National Health Service. Dr. Kustin amassed a great deal of gynecological surgical experience during his three years in the United Kingdom.

He then relocated to the United States in order to pursue sub specialist training, and completed a two-year fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the prestigious Northwestern University Medical Center in Chicago. This advanced training prepared him to treat the most complicated cases of infertility in both females and males.

Dr. Kustin completed his second fellowship in Reproductive Surgery at the Texas Hospital for Women (an affiliate of the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas).
