Donor Concierge Honors Dr. Said Daneshmand with 2023 Fertility Provider Excellence Award

Leave a comment


For nearly two decades, Donor Concierge has assisted thousands of hopeful parents in the third-party fertility sector. The company has a rigorous vetting process for fertility partners and has created a network of vetted fertility practitioners through a Preferred Providers program, which serves as a free resource for hopeful parents seeking top-notch fertility options nationwide.

“It’s an honor and a privilege to assist Intended Parents in starting their families”, says Dr. Daneshmand, who sees third party patients from all over the world.

Affectionately known as ‘Dr. D.’, Daneshmand has worked with Donor Concierge founder Gail Sexton Anderson since the company was started in 2006. “I always recommend Donor Concierge because of the trust, admiration, and respect I have for Gail and her team. I can’t find any other organization that will take better care of you. They are professional, organized, and I have complete trust that you’ll be in the best hands on your journey to creating a family.”

As birth rates fall around the world, the United States is seen as a beacon of hope for those seeking fertility treatment, in particular donor conception and surrogacy services.

Gail Sexton Anderson says “Fertility treatment can be fraught with many highs and lows. Emotionally and financially, patients take on a huge commitment. By partnering with physicians like Dr. Daneshmand and all of the staff at San Diego Fertility Center, we can ensure that our clients get the best care and attention. Because we work with the best surrogacy and donor agencies, we have a deep knowledge of the donor and surrogacy agency landscape. We help our clients synthesize the experience, and manage their IVF cycle efficiently and confidently.”

Gloria Li adds, “Our Excellence Award provides an opportunity to really highlight those in the fertility space who are changing the landscape for our clients. A third of Americans know someone who has utilized fertility treatment – that means there are more options out there for patients and that can raise more questions. ‘Which is the top fertility clinic?’ ‘How do I find the best surrogacy agency?’ We’re here to guide them to the best.”

On the long relationship with San Diego Fertility Center and Dr. Daneshmand, Gail Sexton Anderson says, “We know that when our client is with Dr. Daneshmand and the team at San Diego Fertility Center, the process runs smoothly and with great success.”

Internationally recognized for his achievements in enhancing success rates for fertility treatment, especially in complex in vitro fertilization (IVF) cases, Dr. Daneshmand specializes in third-party reproduction. He also serves on the board of several gestational surrogacy advocacy groups. Dr. Daneshmand holds board certifications in Obstetrics and Gynecology, with a subspecialty board certification in Reproductive Endocrinology. He is extensively published and frequently delivers presentations to fertility experts worldwide.

Goodwill Industries of the Chesapeake Officially Opens Baltimore Excel Center Tuition-Free Adult High School

Leave a comment


“We are proud to offer this first-of-its-kind free high school in Baltimore,” said Goodwill Industries of the Chesapeake CEO Lisa Rusyniak. “We know that people who dropout of high school earn 70% less than those who graduate, so coming to the Excel Center will be a life-changing boost for adults who want to improve their prospects. Imagine their new earning power after graduating with a diploma and new job skills. Lives that were limited by their lack of education before coming to the Excel Center will be liberated to pursue new opportunities. We can’t wait to see the success stories that will emerge from this life-changing experience.”

“Goodwill Industries of the Chesapeake recognizes that there shouldn’t be an age limit on learning. Through this new Baltimore Excel Center, they will help adult learners unlock their full potential through high-quality education, mentorship, and other support services. I’m proud to have helped secure federal funding for this center to help more Baltimoreans open doors to greater opportunity,” said Senator Van Hollen.

The Excel Center is ideal for working adults and parents, offering free drop-in childcare, transportation assistance, flexible class schedules, plus embedded life counseling and job training to help students prepare for high-growth industries. Only Maryland residents are eligible to apply.

The school offers a streamlined, accelerated, self-paced, and highly individualized academic program that typically takes two years to complete, depending on how many high school credits a student has already accumulated. Students who complete the program receive a Maryland State Department of Education diploma.

The Center’s proven curriculum, already shown to be successful at the 37 other Goodwill Excel Centers in the U.S., will help Baltimoreans without a high school degree compete in today’s modern workforce. After completion of Excel Center programs in other cities, 70% of graduates enroll in college or are employed six months after graduation, and 39% of Excel Center graduates have increased their earnings compared to those without a diploma.

Research has shown there is an eight-month return on investment to the state after an Excel Center student graduates, and a 34-month return on investment for non-graduates.

The Baltimore Excel Center will be paid for by a mix of federal, state, and donated funds:

  • $1.4 million Congressional Direct Spending federal grant secured by U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD)
  • $1 million in FY2023 and FY2024 in the Maryland state budget with the assistance of Senate President Ferguson, Senator Guzzone, and the Maryland legislature
  • $1 million from Goodwill Industries of the Chesapeake for building renovation/capital spending
  • $250,000 annually from the Maryland Department of Education
  • $250,000 in capital support from the Abell Foundation for building renovation
  • $500,000 in capital support from the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation for building renovation
  • $200,000 in capital support from the France-Merrick Foundation for building renovation

Dr. Rod J. Rohrich Recognized by Newsweek as the Best Rhinoplasty Surgeon in the United States for the Third Consecutive Year

Leave a comment


These ranked lists were curated as the result of an independent, national survey conducted during March and April of 2023, which queried over 2,000 industry experts ranging from physicians, surgeons, plastic surgery clinic managers, and health care professionals working in plastic surgery. Based on the results of this survey, a score was calculated for each surgeon based on the number of recommendations, a quality assessment, and relevant certifications and background of the candidates.

The results were then compiled and the top 30 plastic surgeons from each category were ranked and listed by their scores, with the remaining candidates being listed alphabetically. Over 8,400 were collected, reviewed, and analyzed to help produce the score for each procedure.

Dr. Rohrich was ranked in the first position at number 1 for best rhinoplasty surgeons in the United States, with the top score based on their unique scoring system. Dr. Rohrich also appeared in the other lists, ranking number 1 for facelifts, number 1 for eye lifts, number 1 for liposuction, and number 3 for breast augmentation. Dr. Rohrich also ranked number 1 in both rhinoplasty and facelift surgery on both the 2021 and 2022 lists.

“I’m extremely honored to have been recognized by Newsweek in this unique peer reviewed process,” says Dr. Rohrich. “These types of awards are valuable tools that can help guide patients towards well qualified plastic surgeons as surgeon selection is the single most important factor for ensuring a successful outcome in plastic surgery.”

A long-standing advocate for patient safety, Dr. Rohrich lectures frequently around the world at surgical conferences and educational meetings promoting innovations in safe and effective plastic surgery practices and much of his writing and presentations focus on rhinoplasty, and revision rhinoplasty, that is, correcting previously performed rhinoplasty that have had poor outcomes. Dr. Rohrich is also the author of the authoritative textbooks on the subject, “Dallas Rhinoplasty: Nasal Surgery by the Masters” which is now published in six languages.

“Rhinoplasty truly epitomizes plastic surgery as a whole because it is a surgery of such great finesse and takes years to master,” says Dr. Rohrich. “Patients should always do their research and choose their surgeon carefully. Make sure he or she is board certified by the American Board of Medical Specialties, and has the expertise and the experience to deliver a safe and satisfactory outcome.”
