Your First Visit

We’re glad you chose our fertility services. Here is what you can expect as you begin care at our fertility clinic.

What to expect

Initial consultation: You will meet with one of our fertility providers to discuss your medical history and your treatment goals, and then receive clear next pre-cycle steps. This is the best forum to have all your questions and concerns addressed prior to your tests being completed. Your workup will be dependent on your diagnosis and history and will most likely involve bloodwork and one or two ultrasounds done at a specific time. Our provider will share with you specific steps at the conclusion of your visit.

Based on the results of your testing, your fertility provider will activate your individualized treatment plan.

As you embark on your fertility journey with us, you will be supported by several amazing teams: patient care coordinators, registered nurses, IVF/REI Lab teams, financial counseling, and medical assistants. Each member’s goal is to assist you in coordinating all arrangements associated with your individualized fertility treatment plan in an efficient manner.
