Praise for Doctor

* Re: “Irvine Fertility Doctor Is the Life of the Party” (Oct. 30). Having read all the negative publicity recently about fertility doctors, I’m pleased The Times found the time to profile one of most truly remarkable men I’ve ever met.

Having been a patient of Dr. [Lawrence] Werlin’s, I can attest to his remarkable level of caring and professionalism toward people in a medical field where patient emotions demand an exacting toll on a daily basis.

In a society where role models are sorely lacking, it is appropriate that a man of Dr. Werlin’s character is associated with the miracle of life.

In a certain sense, it’s sad that we don’t have more Dr. Werlins in our society. Since we don’t, let’s appreciate the ones we have.
