In Vitro Fertilization

In Vitro Fertilization, or IVF, is process by which a woman's eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, fertilized and grown in the laboratory. Once embryos are sufficiently developed they are transferred back into the uterus through the cervix.

For the critical egg retrieval and transfer process we have forged a working partnership with Reproductive Science Center (RSC), a renowned state-of-the-art facility in Lexington, MA. Its team of compassionate and responsive health care professionals has earned a reputation for excellence in infertility and has a pregnancy rate per egg retrieval consistently above 45%* -- among the highest of any IVF service in the nation.
