If you may need ICSI, donor egg, reproductive immunology, or other special services, look for in-depth staff and experience with these. Ask multiple physicians where they would go if they had a difficult infertility problem. Include in your questioning physicians outside of the infertility field. Do not limit your consideration to local IVF programs only. The Mayo Clinic, the Massachusetts General Hospital, and other leading hospitals attracts patients with complex health care needs from throughout the United States.
Many patients travel to find the best infertility care at leading national centers.
Take account of a record of innovation, since being at the cutting edge of medical advances almost always implies a high degree of skill and knowledge. Talk to medical and other staff at potential IVF centers and attempt to develop your own sense of their integrity, intelligence, responsiveness, and compassion. Learn as much as you can. Review the general reputation of the organization and its professionals locally and nationally. Try to contact former patients.
