About success rates:

A note about success rates, since you’ll naturally want to know our IVF track record. In a word, it is exemplary. Year after year, we have reported outstanding success rates in published format to the CDC (available on-line) and have achieved amongst the top rates in the U.S.

However, our personalized approach to care means that we can’t determine your specific chance for success until we evaluate you closely and determine what roadblocks might be preventing you from getting pregnant.
