Dr. Keenan - Thanks for your quick reply! By the way, I found your web page to be the most interesting and have more information on microsurgery than any I have found yet! Thanks!

Use the information listed to determine if your physician is board certified in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, not General Obstetrics and Gynecology. Obviously, a subspecialty board certified specialist is highly recommended.

Center for Disease Control and Prevention

IVF Pregnancy rates for all reporting programs are listed here by state. Please see listing under "University of Tennessee Fertility Center" for relevant statistics. Our success rates have improved even further since then! Compare them to other programs in the state and the southeast. Check to see if the program you're considering has reported! In general, large programs can easily afford to report their statistics, and if they do not, one should be very careful about having this complex and expensive procedure performed at such a center.
