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.

Success w/ Doc Too early to know
[Dr. Scott Whitten] is very knowledgeable and determined to help me become pregnant. With my history, the treatment plan had needed to change multiple times, but I am still hopeful for success. There has always been a sensitive approach to my care and flexibility with options based on my comfort level...Be prepared to stay in it for the long haul. Results do not seem to happen right away for me based on proposed treatment.
The clinic [Nevada Center for Reproductive Medicine] is a warm and inviting environment for the typical patient. Unfortunately, I have become very uncomfortable at this office due to the repeated lack of success to become pregnant...I get further discouraged seeing the newborn photography and patient testimonials around which promotes this false sense of reassurance...I have struggled to communicate with the nursing staff. The phone system is not typically operated well to get a timely response if at all. One of the nurses that I seemed to be assigned did not interact positively and gave me the impression that I was an inconvenience. With all of my fertility struggles I need a more understanding and compassionate person handling my care rather than what I received at this office.

Describe your experience with Nevada Center for Reproductive Medicine (Ivy Fertility Network clinic).
The clinic is a warm and inviting environment for the typical patient. Unfortunately, I have become very uncomfortable at this office due to the repeated lack of success to become pregnant. The decor of the clinic is now extremely depressing every time I am requested to be seen for a visit. I get further discouraged seeing the newborn photography and patient testimonials around which promotes this false sense of reassurance.

He [Dr. Whitten] listened to our concerns and was patient with all our questions. He was respectful and compassionate at all times. He has a friendly and easy going demeanor. The only negative was that he couldn't really explain why our IVF failed...Ask all and any questions you need to. You are the customer at the end of the day...I had a normal protocol for my IVF as my testing work up was normal.
The IVF coordinator [at Nevada Center for Reproductive Medicine] was sometimes rude if you asked too many questions. She lacked compassion in a field where it is a dire trait to have...we were very pleased with our experience at NCRM. They were compassionate and caring employees that love their job...The office was very personable and remembered everything about our case. They did mention what a large group of people they had going through IVF at the same time as us which was a bit of a turn off.
