Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a good, concise handbook of IUI that includes aspects of patient selection and counseling, ovulation induction techniques, and monitoring sperm processing and cryopreservation. It would be a useful resource for every fertility unit." Doody Publishing, Inc.

"The distinguished authorship of A Handbook of Intrauterine Insemination have given it a rather modest title since it delivers much more than it appears to promise...I would recommend this book highly as a good reference for any fertility clinic." Human Fertility
