To help address these concerns, she and colleague, Dr. Sheeva Talebian, co-founded East Meets West Fertility, a website designed to help patients navigate the complexities of fertility treatment and reproductive health. By providing an honest and no-nonsense platform to female health, they embolden women to make informed and confident decisions about their personal lifestyles.
Dr. Knopman also serves as the Chief Medical Officer at Chick Mission, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing fertility preservation options for those preparing to start cancer treatments and advocating on behalf of those who live in states without specific legislation mandating insurance companies cover fertility preservation to assist newly diagnosed patients with need-based grants to cover the costs of these procedures.
