[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]

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