Donna is our head embryologist and the supervisor of all our laboratories. Donna has been working in reproductive laboratories for more than10 years and has experienced the rapid and powerful growth in this technology. She has experience in both small and large programs. She joined our program with extensive prior experience in embryo micromanipulation including expereience in ICSI, assisted hatching and embryo biopsy. In spite of the demands of embryology, Donna has an eleven year old daughter active in soccer.

Joseph Sokoloski, B. S.

Joe joined our practice as a senior associated embryologist. Joe participates in some of our retreival weeks, but is not generally in the lab when we are not actively doing IVF. Joe enables us to build on our strengths as a small IVF progam, providing individualized treatment in a more personal environment, while giving us some of the strengths of a much larger program (such as a greater wealth of experience and contacts with individuals in touch with the pulse of this specialty). Joe set up his first IVF program in 1983. He has participated in thousands of embryology cases and has helped start many IVF programs. He has worked with many of the early leaders in American IVF such as Martin Quigley and Don Wolf. He has written many papers, abstracts, book chapters, and video presentations.
