## Why choose Sutter?

If you've had trouble conceiving, don't lose hope. We have experienced, compassionate providers who will work with you using the latest advancements in reproductive medicine. We’re proud of our outcomes and dedicated to a personalized approach to care.

Our award-winning fertility clinic and embryology lab in Palo Alto is run by the president of the Society for Reproductive Biology and Technology (SRBT). Reproductive endocrinology and fertility (REI) specialists work with multidisciplinary teams, using the latest evidence-based techniques.

Advanced reproductive methods involve fertilizing eggs and sperm in a lab and then transferring the embryo to your uterus. Our lab specialists use assisted reproductive technologies (ART) to create embryos using your egg and sperm or donor specimens. ART methods include in vitro fertilization (IVF) and in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) as well as other options. You can opt for preimplantation genetic testing to check for any genetic abnormalities, offering extra peace of mind.

We provide emotional support services and educational programs to assist you throughout your treatment. Additionally, our financial navigators will help determine your insurance coverage and walk you through treatment costs and pricing options.
