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.

The office was quiet, welcoming, and accommodating. Appointments were easily scheduled, and usually not a long wait (if any). I felt that they were thorough. After each visit (weight, blood, ultrasound) there was a complete consultation to go over results and plan. Dr. Birnbaum was always polite. He would send articles for reading so Google wouldn't be so worrisome and used "cautiously optimistic" when we got our increasing numbers. He also is not a pill or procedure pusher and when I called due to bleeding, he calmed me down.
