We are deeply saddened that our director, K. Paul Katayama, M.D., Ph.D., unexpectedly passed away on Saturday, February 20th, 2010.
Dr. Katayama was world-renowned in his field, responsible for a number of "infertility milestones" including Wisconsin's first frozen embryo baby; first selected assisted hatching (SAH); first pregnancy by partial zona dissection (PZD); first sister-to-sister donated oocyte pregnancy; first gestational surrogacy pregnancy; first microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration pregnancy (MESA); first percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration pregnancy (PESA), and the Midwest's first pregnancies by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), blastocyst embryo transfer, and gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) done in the office suite.
For nearly three decades, Dr. Katayama dedicated his personal and professional skills to helping couples realize their dream of having a baby.
From his dedicated staff - "We miss and will never forget our KPK."
Thank you for keeping us all in your thoughts and prayers.
