Yuki Ohi-Maas, PhD, has a strong scientific background as well as training as an embryologist.

She is in the unique position of having been both a patient and practitioner in the ART field. Yuki has a profound appreciation for those individuals who are willing to make sacrifices to help others build their families when this could otherwise not be a possibility. She now have two beautiful children as a result of ART and could not be more grateful!
