Reviews for How to Prepare the Egg and Embryo to Maximize IVF Success

'The beauty of this book is that it is very easy to understand and is written in simple English language. It is very useful for a learner working in a subfertility unit, and it would also be helpful as a handbook for clinical use on a daily basis ... I feel this book would be useful as a guidebook for infertility at all levels.' Tahira Batool Chaudhry, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists
