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.
