“I have two children conceived through IVF, so I have experienced both sides of the IVF process, as a physician and as a patient. I empathize with my IVF patients and am very grateful to have been able to build my family through the same services I provide." – Samuel C. Pang, MD
WALTHAM, Mass. (PRWEB) October 11, 2022
Boston IVF, a worldwide leader of infertility treatment and family building, is honored to announce that Samuel C. Pang, M.D. has been selected by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) as the recipient of its 2022 Arnold P. Gold Foundation Humanism in Medicine Award for Practicing Physicians. This award is to be presented to Dr. Pang on October 23, 2022 at the 78th annual ASRM Scientific Congress and Expo in Anaheim, CA.
The ASRM is a worldwide leader for multidisciplinary education and standard of care in reproductive medicine, with the goal of ensuring accessible, ethical, and quality care for all people.
Dr. Pang, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, is Co-Director of Third-Party Reproduction at Boston IVF. He treats individuals and couples at the network’s fertility centers in Lexington, MA and Worcester, MA, where he is a valuable infertility treatment and family building resource for all Massachusetts residents. This includes numerous surrounding local communities, such as Milford, MA.
His exceptional reputation, commitment to clinical excellence, and meticulous attention to detail in patient care make Dr. Pang the prototypical honoree of the Arnold P. Gold Foundation Humanism in Medicine Award for Practicing Physicians, which uniquely recognizes a physician’s respectful and compassionate communication with patients, thereby engendering their trust and confidence.
“I have two children conceived through IVF, so I have experienced both sides of the IVF process, as a physician and as a patient,” said Samuel Pang, M.D., who is a resident of Lincoln, MA. “I can empathize with my patients who are undergoing the IVF process. I’m very grateful to have been able to build my family through the same services I provide to my patients and am deeply honored to be recognized by the ASRM with this award.”
Along with this ASRM recognition, Dr. Pang has been the recipient of eleven consecutive Top Fertility Doctor awards by Boston Magazine (2012-2022).
“Third-Party Reproduction” refers to the use of eggs, sperm or embryos that have been donated by a third party (donor), or use of a gestational surrogate. The donor eggs, donor sperm, donor embryos or gestational surrogate are used in assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures such as IVF to enable an infertile individual or couple to become parents.
Third-Party Reproduction is commonly utilized by members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Dr. Pang is a pioneer in providing reproductive care to LGBTQIA+ patients. In 1998, he was among the earliest physicians in the United States and the world to apply assisted reproductive technologies (ART) to gay men who sought parenthood via donor eggs and gestational surrogacy.
In 2007, he began providing IVF services to lesbian couples without infertility, coining the term “reciprocal IVF” for one person providing oocytes and the other gestating. In 2012, he began treating transgender people for fertility preservation and reciprocal IVF, as well as transgender men who choose to gestate themselves.
Dr. Pang holds a deep commitment to advocating for the rights of all people and an individual’s reproductive freedom. He has been a passionate philanthropic supporter of multiple LGBTQIA+ organizations which advocate for equality, among them GLBTA Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD), Human Rights Campaign (HRC), and Greater Boston PFLAG.
"Dr. Pang is a passionate advocate for all people who wish to build a family,” said David Stern, CEO of the Boston IVF fertility network. "On behalf of everyone at Boston IVF, we congratulate him for being selected to receive such a meaningful and well-deserved, national award. Dr. Pang’s superior level of reproductive care and longstanding philanthropic efforts continue to make a difference in the lives of his patients and the vital organizations he supports.”
