Dr. Thomas G Hannam

On this site we are building a resource for all Canadians who wish to understand their fertility options.

Let me know what you need to learn.

I can start by posting the topics that I think you would be interested in reading. But the real value of this site comes through when readers make suggestions and ask questions.

We will post the comments that reflect common interests for all readers. And whenever I can, I will direct you to the original sources that form the basis of my knowledge.

I am proud of the care (and success rates) that we provide through the Hannam Fertility Centre, but it has been a singular effort, focused on specific patient-by-patient needs. Until now, there hasn't been much opportunity for educating, and I am looking forward to this new opportunity.

Yours,


Tom Hannam

Egg Quality: It isn’t easy to measure. This is how we do it.
