Founding a Better Facility

Dr. Thompson has founded two facilities which together hold numerous firsts in his field, including first frozen embryo pregnancy, first embryo donation, donor egg pregnancy, IVF pregnancy, transvaginal egg retrieval, in vitro embryo, blastocyst, and first ICSI. These cutting-edge facilities are the Center for Reproductive Medicine (CRMNM) and Fertility Center of New Mexico in 1986 and 2016 respectively.

By July of 1993, Dr. Thompson rightly celebrated his 100th child born to parents using in vitro fertilization, and since then there have been many more due to advances in the medical field for assisted reproduction.
