Dagmar Ehling (Durham, NC, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Infertility in Practice, 2e (Paperback)
Up to date information, well referenced; clinical data for both male and female infertility, tests, info on ART, and ethical issues are all described thoroughly. Only covers western medical techniques, provides no complementary medical information.
