Summary
As an experienced Medical Director with a specialization in Reproductive Endocrinology Infertility (REI) and Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs), I have had the privilege of working in large hospitals and medical schools in urban areas for over thirty years. My extensive background in the field has allowed me to become well-versed in all aspects of ART and associated basic and clinical research. Throughout my career, I have successfully built robust medical practices that have helped countless patients achieve their dreams of starting a family. Furthermore, these successful pregnancies include high risk patients because of their chronological age and associated medical conditions.
One of my greatest strengths as a Medical Director is my ability to collaborate effectively with various stakeholders, including physicians, nurses, and administrators. By collaborating closely with these individuals, I have been able to develop comprehensive treatment plans that meet the unique needs of each patient. Through open communication and a willingness to listen, I have been able to build strong relationships with my colleagues and create a positive work environment that fosters creativity and innovation. My dedication to third party reproduction and genomics attracts many national and international patients, as they don’t have access to this type of ART in their geographical area.
In addition to my technical expertise, I am also skilled in communicating complex medical concepts to both medical and non-medical audiences. Whether I am presenting research findings at a medical conference or explaining treatment options to a patient, I am able to convey information in a clear and concise manner that is easy to understand. This has been particularly important in my work with patients who may be feeling overwhelmed or anxious about their fertility struggles. By providing them with accurate information and compassionate support, I have been able to help them feel more confident and empowered throughout their treatment journey.
Overall, I am proud of the work that I have done as a Medical Director in the field of REI and ARTs. Through my dedication and commitment to excellence, I have been able to help countless patients achieve their dreams of starting a family, while also contributing to the advancement of medical knowledge and research in this important area.

11.1992 - 11.1994
- Genzyme Corporation Clinical Trial Grant for Phase II Clinical Trial
- OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and efficacy of Seprafilm (HAL-F), Bioresorbable Membrane, (Genzyme Corporation, Cambridge, MA) in reducing the incidence, severity, extent, and area of uterine adhesions after myomectomy.DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, blinded, multicenter study
- Adhesion reduction was assessed by an independent, blinded, gynecologic surgeon who reviewed videotapes of each patient's second-look laparoscopy.SETTING: Nineteen institutions across the United States
- PATIENT(s): One hundred twenty-seven women undergoing uterine myomectomy with at least one posterior uterine incision > or = 1 cm in length
- INTERVENTION(s): Patients were randomized to treatment with Seprafilm or to no treatment at the completion of the myomectomy
- MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(s): The incidence, severity, extent, and area of uterine adhesions at second-look laparoscopy
- RESULT(s): The incidence, measured as the mean number of sites adherent to the uterine surface, was significantly less in treated patients (4.98 +/- 0.52 [mean +/- SEM] sites) than in no treatment patients (7.88 +/- 0.48 sites) as were the mean uterine adhesion severity scores (1.94 +/- 0.14 versus 2.43 +/- 0.10; treatment versus no treatment, respectively), mean extent scores (1.23 +/- 0.12 versus 1.68 +/- 0.10), and mean area of adhesions (13.2 +/- 1.67 versus 18.7 +/- 1.66 cm2)
- No adverse events occurred that were judged to be related to the use of Seprafilm
- CONCLUSION(s): In this multicenter study, treatment of patients after myomectomy with Seprafilm significantly reduced the incidence, severity, extent, and area of postoperative uterine adhesions
- Additionally, Seprafilm treatment was not associated with an increase in postoperative complications

Summary
As an experienced Medical Director with a specialization in Reproductive Endocrinology Infertility (REI) and Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs), I have had the privilege of working in large hospitals and medical schools in urban areas for over thirty years. My extensive background in the field has allowed me to become well-versed in all aspects of ART and associated basic and clinical research. Throughout my career, I have successfully built robust medical practices that have helped countless patients achieve their dreams of starting a family. Furthermore, these successful pregnancies include high risk patients because of their chronological age and associated medical conditions.
One of my greatest strengths as a Medical Director is my ability to collaborate effectively with various stakeholders, including physicians, nurses, and administrators. By collaborating closely with these individuals, I have been able to develop comprehensive treatment plans that meet the unique needs of each patient. Through open communication and a willingness to listen, I have been able to build strong relationships with my colleagues and create a positive work environment that fosters creativity and innovation. My dedication to third party reproduction and genomics attracts many national and international patients, as they don’t have access to this type of ART in their geographical area.
In addition to my technical expertise, I am also skilled in communicating complex medical concepts to both medical and non-medical audiences. Whether I am presenting research findings at a medical conference or explaining treatment options to a patient, I am able to convey information in a clear and concise manner that is easy to understand. This has been particularly important in my work with patients who may be feeling overwhelmed or anxious about their fertility struggles. By providing them with accurate information and compassionate support, I have been able to help them feel more confident and empowered throughout their treatment journey.
Overall, I am proud of the work that I have done as a Medical Director in the field of REI and ARTs. Through my dedication and commitment to excellence, I have been able to help countless patients achieve their dreams of starting a family, while also contributing to the advancement of medical knowledge and research in this important area.
