Video Shoot for GlobalIVF.com

This weekend was exciting!
GlobalIVF.com did our first extensive 'experts' video shoot. For two days, we interviewed top Reproductive Endocrinologists - including Dr. Guy Ringler, Dr. Sahakian, Dr. Daniel Potter and Dr. David Tourgeman, we interviewed top egg donor agency - Gifted Journeys, and the very reputable surrogacy agency - Agency for Surrogacy Solutions, Inc run by Kathryn Kaycoff-Manos and Lauri Berger de Brito. We interviewed lawyer Rich Vaughn from NFLC law plus psychologists Andrea Bryman and Abigail Glass. The shoots went well and we've got lots of great stuff to share with you in the upcoming months on our experts page. Be on the lookout!

Ranting & Raving about Doctors on the Web

The following link raises some interesting thoughts regarding rants and raves about doctors on the internet. I'm sure what will follow is the same consideration regarding services -- including surrogacy agencies, egg donation agencies, clinics around the world, etc. I guess more 'food for thought' that we should not just blindly trust what we read on the web and before making any very important decisions - like choosing a doctor, a clinic or an agency - do your research. Here at Global IVF, Inc - we want you to be an educated consumer and an educated global patient.  That is our main goal!




Docs seek to stifle patients' rants on Web sites

Doctors worried about their reputations are trying to fight back against bad Web site reviews, requiring patients to sign contracts - critics call them "gag orders" - promising not to post comments to public sites. But the move may be backfiring.
