About
Dr. Somphoch Pumipichet is Director and Chief Reproductive Specialist of Legend Fertility Center (LRC) in Bangkok, widely regarded as one of Thailand’s most popular fertility physicians. He graduated with distinction from the Faculty of Medicine at Thammasat University and completed his obstetrics-gynaecology and reproductive medicine training at Srinakharinwirot University and Mahidol University’s Ramathibodi Hospital.
His academic record is exceptional: he was personally awarded by Thailand’s King Rama X (Vajiralongkorn) for graduating at the top of his cohort, and won the Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists’ First Prize in Research as well as Ramathibodi Hospital’s Outstanding Physician Award, both in 2010. He holds dual Thai board certification — obstetrics and gynaecology (2011) and reproductive medicine (2014).
Since 2018 he has led LRC’s clinical program, steering the center’s blastocyst-culture and PGT strategy and its work with the hardest patient groups: premature ovarian insufficiency, advanced maternal age, and complex recurrent failure cases.
