I do not recommend going to this clinic. Although our experience at first was pleasant, it only went downhill from there. We spent a year here doing fertility testing and IUIs. After this did not…

There was some misunderstanding. I probably shouldn't have left a review yet because we have only gone through one cycle, but they ended up not performing a IUI for the first cycle even though we…

Our monitoring (ultrasounds/labs) packages include cycles with and without IUI's. Rather than itemize each service received (which would have been more) we convert to packages (if that will save you more money) to a monitoring cycle without IUI if that service was not received. The credit (not discount) can be used to go towards another cycle or we can refund the $400. We hope this clears up any misunderstanding. If you have any other questions, feel free to email Shirley@myfertilitycenter.com. Thank you.
