Has anyone gone to the new CCRM in NOVA?

Dr. Payson has been a huge advocate on Capitol Hill for legislation that tackles family building issues (IVF coverage, Adoption tax credit, etc). That would make me tip the scales in his favor.

I love Dr Payson. He is smart, compassionate, creative. I would see him in a heartbeat if I thought I had a chance. I am in early menopause after DOR so no pint but I did see him st Dominion a few years ago. He is an excellent doctor.

PP, donor eggs could be an option? That's what I am considering pursuing at CCRM.

I feel too embedded to switch at this point and CCRM is farther from my home, but I'd recommend him based on expertise and bedside manner. He also has a great reputation. Second, I asked about their embryology lab and was told that their embryologist went through training at CCRM CO. It's true they don't have a track record for their location, but I would assume their standards would be the same and that they'd have a lot riding on ensuring they had good successes at a brand new location. I won't be transferring, but had a good experience and would recommend it based on that. There could be some real advantage to going to a new clinic in terms of appointment availability. I would pick them if I were just starting out.

i thought they send embryos to CO?

They send the biopsies to CO. The embryos stay on site in the NoVa lab.

Yes. I'm seeing Dr Owen. She's wonderful.
