Attention to Detail

Attention to detail is on a 1 - 10 scale, and is scored based on the rate, and severity, of errors committed by the clinic according to the patients.

For example, a severe error might be failing to inform a patient of critical information, while a small error might be failing to call a patient with results.

CDC Success Rates

This is the most recent data from the CDC. The CDC cautions that it should not be used to compare doctors and clinics. This data represents the outcomes of IVF cycles when using a person's own eggs.

For more information please see our FAQs.

Where you see a “?” on the chart, a clinic has done fewer than 20 cycles in this category and age range, so the CDC says showing percentages from this small data set would be misleading and unreliable.

Unsuccessful
Dr. Crawford’s bedside manner is great and she’s an upbeat person but we were not given extensive details or followed up with after failed iui’s.... She is a warm and inviting person. She gives the impression that she’s explaining everything but then you leave with a lot of questions. I do not like that there was no follow up after failed iui’s. She also always seemed to be in a hurry and appointments felt rushed.... Expect a long wait before appointment
You check in at a closed sliding window. It’s strange because you sign in on a pad but it takes them [Austin Fertility Center] a long time to look at it. The wait in the waiting room can be very long and the room is very small and cramped. Once you get called back, the nurses are nice and you are seen fairly promptly. Once seen, it feels rushed. Doctors are friendly but not a lot of attention to detail.... Nursing staff seemed very disorganized and routinely forgot to send me home with things. They also charged us incorrectly once.
