WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER Clinica De Fertilidad y Medicina Reproductiva Angeles ( FERTILITE)

Emotional Aspects/Concerns about the couple.

We do it in a friendly and supportive manner. The cheerful atmosphere in our clinic should help ease your anxiety.

Many of the emotional aspects of infertility may be controlled with a little basic human kindness and care. Our understanding of the emotional aspects of infertility led us put in place a support system where you may find answers from our staff about financial concerns, testing and protocol discussions. We know when a situation is uncomfortable. We can help prevent those that are unnecessary and help you through those situations or discussions that simply must take place.

Additionally, infertility can put a strain on marriages. This web site isn’t the time or place to expand on that, but if you need help, we can recommend where to obtain professional counseling. They are very familiar with the roller-coaster ride of therapy and its impact on a marriage.

Volume of Patients

It is well understood that the size of an ART practice does not influence its success rates. However, the bigger the practice the less personal the relationship can be with the infertility team. At FERTILITE we have a volume of patients that provides us experience with many different infertility procedures, but not that big that make them feel like a number. Often, patients tell us that they know us better than they know their primary care physician that they have been seeing for several years. We simply make the time to get to know our patients - professionally, personally, clinically, and emotionally.

We have a diverse group of individuals ready to assist you with all your needs.

How to select your infertility team

Level of expertise and educational background, team approach, availability/coverage, services provided, concern and understanding for you and your spouse’s emotional needs, certifications, participant of national proficiency testing, centrally located facilities, and yes, the success rate for the clinic, are some of the aspects in which you need to pay attention.
