IVF clinics - quantity vs quality.



A lot of IVF clinics take pride in the large number of cycles which they do . Their focus is on their turnover, because they are profit making corporates, who need to maximise their ROI for their investors.
While is great for the management because this maximizes their revenue, it may not be good for each individual patient they treat. They use an assembly line approach, where every patient is treated as a widget, and the focus is on maximising throughput by using a "one-size-fits-all" approach.
Our focus as a boutique clinic is very different ! We make sure that we spend a lot of time and energy on each individual patient , to try to maximize their chances of getting pregnant.
What this means is that we treat each individual egg as an individual patient, and grow every follicle with love and care. Every egg is treated with respect , so that even if you have only immature eggs , we mature them in vitro , so that they can become embryos, and we can grow these to blastocysts.
The advantage of this is that we maximize each individual patient's chances of getting pregnant. Yes, this means we can't do as many cycles as a lot of very busy clinics can do, because we don't have any assistants. However, our pregnancy rates for patients are far better , because we focus so much energy on each of them.

What to find an IVF clinic which respects your time and intelligence ?
