Julio E. Pabon, M.D., F.A.C.O.G.

Dr. Pabon, M.D. is the director of Fertility Center and Applied Genetics of Florida, Inc. He is Subspecialty Board Certified in Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility. He is also Board Certified in general Ob/Gyn by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He is a fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Dr. Pabon is a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, The European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology, and a former member of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology(1998-2009). Dr. Pabon resigned from the society (SART) in 2009 to protest SART's continued inadequacy in not promoting our specialty, in not helping to control the cost of medical practice, and also due to SART's weak response to the recent "octomom" California scandal. After 10 years of membership, Dr. Pabon determined that there had been no demonstrable benefit to our practice by being members of SART.

Dr. Pabon received his undergraduate education from The University of Texas at Austin where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree with honors from the department of zoology. He was a named College Scholar of the School of Natural Sciences and was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa Society. Dr. Pabon then received his medical degree in 1989 from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. He went on to complete a four-year Ob/Gyn residency at The University of Texas Health Science Center/L.B.J. Hospital in Houston, Texas. There he was named Outstanding Senior Resident and Outstanding Senior Laparoendoscopic Surgeon. He was elected and served as the Administrative Chief Resident.

Dr. Pabon became interested in Reproductive Endocrinology and Assisted Reproductive Technology during his second, third, and fourth years of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine. During those years he had a sense for the future of medicine. He became involved in research within the department of Reproductive Endocrinology and had first-hand research experience within the Baylor embryo culture laboratory under the tutelage of William Findley, PhD. and William E. Gibbons, M.D. This work resulted in scientific abstracts, publications, and even a U.S. Patent.

After his OB/GYN residency at the University of Texas, Dr. Pabon was accepted to one of the oldest and most prestigious fellowships in the field. He attended the Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility fellowship at the University of Louisville. As a fellow he used molecular biology techniques to discover the presence of the Luteinizing hromone/hCG receptor in human adrenal glands. This has great implications to the physiology of anovulation and disease conditions like polycystic ovary syndropme. Dr. Pabon received extensive training over the course of these two additional years in all areas of reproductive medicine, surger, and IVF.

Dr. Pabon has been in private practice since 1995 and in Sarasota since 1997. From this location and our Bonita Beach location, just south of Ft. Myers, Florida we are able to treat patients from Orlando, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Bradenton, Sarasota, Ft Myers, Naples, and Bonita Springs. As well as a number of out of state and international patients. He chose this relatively small city because there was a need for such a specialist in the area. Additionally, and on a personal nature, the Pabon family enjoyed the wide open spaces and equine activities that are easy to enjoy in Sarasota.
