CCRM Marketing

You might be right. So much money and time down the drain for me right now too.

you don't know if she had a horrible time or not, there is nothing about that here. For all we know she might be a mother of 4 by now. To be honest, all your responses are kinda artificial, I don't know how to explain it, but it's very obvious, you're trying too hard. CCRM needs to pay some real women to advertise them, instead of a recent marketing undergrad who never even meet anyone dealing with infertility.

My husband and I had a horrendous and traumatic experience at CCRM New York, and there is so much I wish I had known that I now do. It is important to know that CCRM is partly owned by a private equity firm, TA Associates, that has franchised the name into multiple cities. What has given CCRM its reputation is a single lab in Lone Tree, Colorado. No other CCRM labs have been able to duplicate that lab. Dr. Schoolcraft tells his patients that "the secret sauce" is in this lab (my friend was his patient and we've shared our experiences in detail).

Despite this, all CCRM locations are the most expensive in the country. I'll share more about our experience at a later date, after I've finished sharing it with the press. But I would urge you to do your research and not get on a plane to anywhere other than the Lone Tree lab, and even that should be a last resort. I believe their published numbers are not reflective of what is really going on.

There is very little Federal oversight because this is new technology. And it is a $4 billion a year business. You'll see on CCRM's Twitter that the CCRM marketing department is paying 20-something bloggers to write about how they are "thinking about" freezing their eggs at CCRM, and they are having them copy and paste data from the CCRM website. This is dangerous, and doing women a disservice.

I believe there should be Federal legislation preventing private equity firms from investing in fertility clinics. They are focused on answering to their investors, not their patients. And they aren't providing the minimum standard of care. They ushered us through a boiler plate process without any strategy or customization. They did, however, make sure we spent hours sitting with their financial department to make sure they got paid.

I went to another local clinic and had a terrible experience. I'm 34 weeks after two rounds of back to back IVF at CCRM. Does it work for everyone? No. But they are in business because people do get pregnant, and at higher rates than other clinics. If you go somewhere believing it will definitely work for you, you are kidding yourself. Nothing is 100%.

The same thing happened to me at CCRM Northern Virginia. I’m still heartbroken about it.

CCRM in Northern VA is awful, and I assume it's just their business model to overcharge for every test.
