How to Choose a Fertility Clinic &
Evaluate IVF Success Rates

Selecting a fertility clinic is one of the most significant decisions for you to make on your family-building journey. We are here to give you clear, objective tools to evaluate any fertility center based on real data, regardless of where you ultimately decide to receive care. You deserve complete clarity on IVF success rates, laboratory standards, and physician credentials before starting your journey, so our physicians advise that you consider these 5 key criteria when selecting a clinic:

SART and CDC Success Rate Data
Physician Credentials
Lab Accreditation and Technology
Patient Care Access
Financial Transparency

Continue reading for a breakdown of what these criteria are and why they are so important!

Understanding IVF Success Rates via SART

The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) is the primary organization of professionals dedicated to the practice of IVF. The mission of SART is to establish and maintain standards for ART so that you receive the highest possible level of care. One way they do this is by validating and reporting on IVF Outcomes for clinics that qualify to be SART Member Centers.

To view Success Rates for a clinic, search for it by name and/or location on the SART Website. Found in the Clinic Summary Report, the primary metric you will want to look at will be “Live Births Per New Patient”, as this is the clearest and most straight-forward indication of family-building outcomes.

Since age is the most important factor in fertility outcome, make sure to focus on the data for your age group. You can also see how data compares to national live birth rates. SART notes that “A comparison of clinic success rates may not be personally applicable because patient medical characteristic, treatment approaches, and entry criteria for ART may vary from clinic to clinic” and, “It is important to note that patient characteristics vary among programs; therefore, success rates should not be used to compare treatment centers.“

We encourage prospective patients to review our data so they can confidently move forward with us on their family-building journey. Use the buttons below to access our data reported by SART and the CDC, and please continue reading this web page as we break down which numbers you will want to focus on, and how you can understand what they may mean for you!

5 Key Criteria to Consider

While IVF success rates are an important factor in determining if a clinic is right for you, these numbers will be influenced by patient characteristics and program entry criteria. In fact, only about 3% of fertility patients will use IVF treatments, so other factors must also be considered, illustrated in the chart below:

Physician Credentials

Physicians are not only OBG-YN’s, but also have subspecialty board certification in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI)

All of our practicing physicians are fellowship-trained and double board-certified REIs

Lab Accreditation and Technology

Dual accreditation from the College of American Pathologists (CAP) and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)

Ability to perform advanced treatments such as ICSI, trophectoderm biopsy, and egg freezing

Use of advanced technology that meets and exceeds clinical standards

Our CLIA certification and CAP accreditation indicates that our laboratory is one of an exclusive group of reproductive laboratories around the country that have met the highest standards of excellence.

With the exception of a few screening labs, all IVF procedures, whether standard or advanced, are conducted in our on-site, state-of-the-art laboratory.

We pursue peak efficacy by using cutting-edge technologies that stand above standard protocol; like the use of low oxygen tension/nitrogen incubators instead of standard carbon dioxide incubators, to better simulate the environment of the fallopian tube

Access to Care

Direct, timely communication with your clinical care team throughout treatment, and easy scheduling options for timely care.

Our patients not only have access via phone and email, but they also have direct access to their care team via our patient portal, where you can also request appointments, read visit summaries, see test results, and review your upcoming treatments.

We also offer virtual follow-up sessions with your physician in order to make scheduling easier for our busy patients!

Our Patient Finance Team is here to help explore your options and build a plan that works for you! Your estimate will be personalized to your care plan to ensure accuracy and prevent surprises.

We are also often able to make care more affordable via partnerships with several financing services, exclusive grant programs, discounts through research studies, and annual discounts for nurses, teachers, military, and more!
