Center plans
infertility seminar
Portsmouth Herald - April 19, 2004
PORTSMOUTH - Industry experts believe many couples who
have been unable to conceive a child do not seek
treatment either because of lack of information and/or
lack of funds.
The
Reproductive Science Center is hoping to change that
situation for the one in six couples of childbearing age
who live in New Hampshire and who are unable to conceive
a child.
Couples
who have been having problems getting or staying
pregnant may feel confused, frustrated and alone.
Obtaining information about available options is the
first step to resolving infertility.
The RSC
is offering a free couples seminar from 7 to 9 p.m.
Tuesday, April 27, at the Sheraton Harborside
Portsmouth. Titled "Infertility Treatment Options: Which
One Is Right for You?" the seminar plans to feature
board-certified fertility specialist Dr. Samuel Pang,
who also is RSC’s associate medical director.
He is
planning to discuss the diagnostic process, different
treatment options for female and male infertility, and
the latest advances.
Couples
also will be able to talk one-on-one with Dr. Pang and
other RSC specialists and receive information on RSC’s
exclusive financial package, the Shared Risk IVF Refund
Program. This financing program guarantees a money-back
refund if treatment is not successful and can be a big
help to couples in New Hampshire, where fertility
treatment coverage is not mandated.
Dr. Pang
is a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist who
served his residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the
University of Toronto. He successfully completed a
fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility
at the UCLA School of Medicine in California. Before
joining RSC in 1993, Dr. Pang was assistant professor of
gynecology and obstetrics at Loma Linda University
School of Medicine in California. At the Deaconess
Waltham Hospital, he was appointed chief of OB/GYN.
Dr. Pang
is a licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada, as
well as a diplomate of the National Board of Medical
Examiners in the United States. He was president of the
Boston Fertility Society in 2001. He has conducted
research and been published in the areas of menopause,
infertility and andrology, and has a special interest in
the management of male infertility. Dr. Pang is the
medical director of the Egg Donation and Gestational
Surrogacy Program.
Couples
interested in attending the seminar should register by
calling 877-MEET-RSC (633-8772) or visiting

provides a broad range of conventional and advanced
