Does it matter how long a program has been in existence? Isn newer better?
At the Reproductive Science Center of the San Francisco Bay Area, we believe one of our strengths is our stability and longevity. Our physicians have been working together for almost 20 years, and we have worked with the same embryology laboratory director for over 10 years. We recommend that anyone considering fertility treatment ask each clinic under consideration about stability and years of experience of the physicians and the embryology staff. Infertility treatment, particularly IVF, requires a great deal of timing, coordination and communication between doctors and embryologists. The longer teams have worked together, the more effective they are in assuring a well-executed treatment plan.
