The Jones Institute offers the full spectrum of
infertility services ranging from diagnosis
and first level treatments, such as Intrauterine Insemination
( IUI ) and
Ovulation Induction ( OI ), to
advanced assisted reproductive technologies ( ART ). These advanced technologies
include in vitro fertilization ( IVF ), intracytoplasmic
sperm injection ( ICSI ), preimplantation genetic diagnosis (
PGD ), donor egg ( DE ), corrective reproductive
surgery, and others.
Our fertility
services are highly individualized to meet the needs of each couple.
We will always recommend the treatments most likely to result in pregnancy
while considering patient desires and cost.
It has been our experience that patients sometimes
delay consulting a reproductive endocrinologist
because of concerns over cost, lack of insurance coverage or feelings
that assisted reproductive procedures may not be effective. Some patients
also believe that a referral from their primary care physician is necessary;
however, in many infertility centers, more than half of the patients are
self - referred. Often times the total cost
of infertility therapy is less when a specialist is consulted early
in treatment.
We strongly believe that patient education is
essential to seeking treatment for infertility, and we encourage you to
review all of the information available on this Web site. Also, we would
suggest that you contact your insurance carrier to determine your level
of infertility coverage, if any. Patients can greatly reduce the stress
and apprehension that often accompanies the process of seeking treatment
if they have the facts beforehand.
The links below explain in detail some of the
many services that we offer, as well as providing some general information
about infertility.
