Pacific Fertility Center Celebrates 20 Years of Advancements and Innovation in Reproductive Medicine
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacific Fertility Center (PFC), a leading international clinic for infertility treatment and part of The Prelude Network (Prelude), celebrates its twentieth year in operation during the month of November. Over the last two decades, PFC has been advancing fertility technologies, championing fertility care options, and advocating for the rights of all patients.
PFC was founded in 1999 with a mission of providing a superior experience to infertility patients through advanced technology and innovation. It was established by Eldon Schriock, M.D., Carolyn Givens, M.D., Isabelle Ryan, M.D., Philip Chenette, M.D. and Carl Herbert, M.D., all of whom remain on staff today. In addition to creating the first independent egg bank in Northern California (Pacific Fertility Egg Bank), PFC is one of the pioneers in vitrification, with hundreds of babies born from frozen eggs. PFC is also a leader in single embryo transfers (eSET), recognizing early on the importance of eSET and advocating for it before the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) made it a guideline. By using the latest technological developments, coupled with the expertise of its leading clinicians, PFC now boasts one of the lowest twin rates in the country.
In addition to advancing fertility treatments and services, PFC has expanded its geographical reach, expanding access to high-quality fertility care. Dr. Liyun Li, who joined the practice in 2011, helped launch new services for Chinese speaking patients, with a mission to provide better access to care for patients who don't speak English, whether they live in the United States or abroad. Patients travel to the center from countries throughout Asia, Australia and Europe for its fertility innovation and knowledgeable, compassionate care.
PFC advocates for the rights of all patients and in doing so, has created a strong partnership with the LGBTQ+ community by helping many create families with the use of sperm donors or egg donors/gestational carriers. PFC has also had the opportunity to work with transgender individuals to throughout their fertility journeys.
Recognizing the importance to consistently evolve with patients' needs and remain at the forefront of the industry, the center joined Prelude in 2017, a national network of fertility clinics and egg donation centers across the country offering comprehensive fertility services, including egg freezing, egg storage, genetic testing, IVF and egg donation services.
Today, PFC continues to bring innovation in reproductive medicine to its patients while providing each one with a compassionate, individualized approach to care. This patient-centered approach means each patient is given a dedicated, experienced team of doctors, nurses and fertility care specialists to guide them throughout the fertility process. The combination of expertise and unparalleled care has led to the PFC team being recognized among the "Best Reproductive Endocrinologists" by U.S. News and World Report and the Bay Area's "Top Doctors" by Castle Connolly, among other accolades.
"We're extraordinarily proud of the pioneering advancements PFC has brought to the fertility industry and to our patients," said Dr. Isabelle Ryan. "For the last twenty years, we've been honored to help so many patients realize their dreams of having their own families, and we look forward to continuing our contributions to the progression of reproductive medicine while at the same time provide our patients with personalized, compassionate treatment and care."
In celebration of its 20(th) anniversary, PFC will host giveaways ranging from books to acupuncture sessions. The center will also host educational talks and seminars, including a Free Fertility Seminar, a Fertility and Finances Talk and an Egg Freezing Webinar.
