Patients can consult via telehealth or in‑person to review donor profiles and select a match that aligns with their preferences. The institute ensures strict confidentiality and anonymity for donors, and its experienced fertility specialists coordinate the donor egg cycle, from synchronization and retrieval to fertilization, embryo culture, and transfer, delivering high pregnancy rates for recipient patients.
