Ever since the recent Newsweek article about our program was published I've been asked the same question again and again; how can you provide the same quality care at almost half the average cost and not sacrifice quality?

I wish the answer were more obvious to the medical community, but the answer is summarized well in the Newsweek article. The average cost of IVF in United States is $13,775, while the average cost in the rest of the modernized western world is just over $5,000. The real question is: why aren’t more fertility clinics in the U.S. pursuing more competitive pricing for its patients as Fertility Partnership is?

I’m not unrealistic – I do understand that the cost of running a medical practice is generally more expensive in the United States than in many other countries. Higher rent, more expensive insurances, and regulatory bodies that, while "protecting the public," are among the factors that raise the cost of a medical practice here. But, should those factors mean that IVF needs to be more than twice as expensive here? Many clinics say yes. Fertility Partnership is doing all it can to say no. My commitment to my patients is to continue doing all I can to provide the highest quality care at a fair cost, and I hope that other fertility clinics will follow.
