The Not-So-Secret Sauce of Success: Relying on the Best Minds in Reproductive Medicine

For us, being a leader in the fertility industry is not just a tag line – it’s a commitment.  At Donor Egg Bank, a California Cryobank Company, we know that constant improvement translates into patient success.  Twice a year, we bring together the crème de la crème of fertility physicians with the sole focus of improving the donor egg bank program.  During these Scientific Advisory meetings, a board of physicians exchange their knowledge and participate in spirited conversations regarding cutting-edge techniques in the field.  This input is a crucial step in enacting change in our program.

The most recent Scientific Advisory session was held during the annual meeting of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) in October. More than twenty reproductive endocrinologists, all from top clinics across the United States and Canada, provided feedback on a variety of issues including how to strengthen donor screening guidelines, the use of specific medications in donor stimulation cycles and inclusion of new services that may improve pregnancy outcomes, such as the Endometrial Receptivity Assay (ERA) procedure. Our Scientific Advisory Meetings are a key component of success and we are honored to have the wealth of knowledge that these physicians bring to our company!

In addition to our advisory meetings, we also host an annual celebration event to recognize outstanding clinical staff from programs with whom we work.  Check out some photos from our October celebration, and join us in congratulating our 2017 DEB Award winners!
