Ranked #238 of 361 rated clinics nationally · composite score 48.9/100 — how we evaluate clinics

Reported live-birth rate per intended egg retrieval, by patient age — CDC NASS 2022 Final ART Summary
0% 20% 40% 60% 80% Under 35: this clinic 65.7% (35 retrievals); national average 49.7% 65.7% Under 35 35–37: this clinic 9 live-birth deliveries of 15 intended retrievals (too few for a rate) (15 retrievals); national average 36.3% 9/15 35–37 38–40: this clinic 23.1% (39 retrievals); national average 23.1% 23.1% 38–40 Over 40: this clinic 5.7% (53 retrievals); national average 7.7% 5.7% Over 40

Bands shown as a count (e.g. 3/15) had too few retrievals for the CDC to report a reliable rate. We don't draw bars for either.
