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.”

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


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.”

Tumour growth rate modelling and radiomics, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks


Response evaluation criteria in solid tumours (RECIST) 1.1 and other similar criteria for tumour burden assessments have been used conventionally for the investigation of the tumour-inhibitory effect of cancer drugs. A large sample size is commonly required for both a reliable estimation of overall survival from such criteria, and to differentiate from the control arm. However, the ‘g’ value obtained through effective TGR modelling may provide a more efficient alternative to understanding drug efficacy using a lower sample size.

Radiomics is the extraction of quantitative metrics from medical images that characterise tumour heterogeneity. Radiomic features (both cross-sectional and longitudinal changes) have been associated with tumour aggressiveness and may predict clinical and clinical trial endpoints like survival.

In this webinar, we will discuss the basics of TGR modelling from oncological imaging data, as well as radiomics. We will also look at how AI can be harnessed for a more automated tumour volume detection, and how this can aid with simultaneous assessment of both ‘g’ as well as radiomics features.

Join experts from ICON, Paul McCracken, PhD, Vice President, Global Head of Medical Imaging; Ramkumar Krishnamurthy, PhD, Medical Imaging Scientist II; and Meena Makary, PhD, Medical Imaging Scientist II, for the live webinar on Thursday, October 12, 2023, at 10am EDT (4pm CEST/EU-Central).
