[quote=Anonymous]I think there are four things:

1) As another poster said, location and convenience really do matter. You will have many early morning appointments and don't want to stress each one.

2) Read these boards to see the pros and cons of different clinics.  E.g., Shady Grove seems like the most organized but also the most rigid and factory like.  GW seems to have a well love doctor but some uncertainty in terms of having enough other staff right now. Many people seem to have billing issues at CFA but love their doctor their and can get immune issues checked out and find more flexibility there in general.  What matters to you most.

3) Think about what issues you might have.  If you are worried about immune issues CFA would be a good bet.  If other issues, maybe other places.

4) Fit with the doctor.  I met with a doctor at CFA and Shady Grove.  I could tell SG was more organized but (a) it freaked me out on my first visit to be told how much my insurance would cover for IVF (I hadn't even tried Clomid yet) and (b) I had a really bad consult there and found the doctor patronizing and rigid.  I ended up very happy at CFA mostly because my doctor there was a good fit for me. [/quote]
