Description

Advanced Fertility Care is a private fertility center in Arizona with offices in Scottsdale, Mesa, and Glendale.

The multidisciplinary team of the center consists of fertility specialists and embryology laboratory staff which means that Advanced Fertility Care has its own laboratory for its patients to perform all the treatments directly in the clinic without the need to travel.

Furthermore, Advanced Fertility Care is contracted with several health care insurances and it is also possible to opt for fertility financing programs. However, all this information could not be verified by the inviTRA-Specialists.

Reviews

The reviews on Google Business about Advanced Fertility Care in Scottsdale are very positive.

Kimberly and Sunni, for example, describe the professionals as caring and helpful. Both coincide that Dr. Larsen patiently explains every step in detail to his patients. Also, Christina is extremely content with her experience. Her initial testing revealed uterine polyps which were subsequently removed. Her period cramps immediately improved from painful to painless. After surgery, she and her partner tried to conceive naturally. However, they had to opt for an IUI cycle. Their 4th attempt was finally successful and are expecting twins. She would highly recommend Advanced Fertility Care.

However, there is also one negative comment from TJ. She points out that patients or donors have to do research on their own before arranging an appointment. TJ signed up as an egg donor and was not aware of what this process would entail. As an egg donor, she had to come every or every other day to the clinic for testing. Thus, she constantly had to rearrange her whole schedule. TJ also described the whole process as uncomfortable for her body due to the complications derived from medications she had to take.

Location: how to get to the clinic?

Advanced Fertility Care is located on 9819 N 95th St, Scottsdale, AZ.

The nearest airport is Scottsdale Airport and a 15-minutes drive to the clinic via N Scottsdale Road and E Shea Blvd.

Alternatively, there are several bus lines going to the center. However, various changes would have to be made and it would take 1 hour and 50 minutes to get to Advanced Fertility Care.
