How it works
Our Process
Reach Out to Us
Answer a few preliminary questions about yourself and let us know the best way to get in touch with you.
Connect With Your Counselor
One of our counselors will contact you to learn more about yourself and your goals. After that conversation, your counselor will work with you to book an appointment for you to meet with your Fertility doctor.
Meet with Your Fertility Doctor
You will meet with your fertility doctor, Dr. Duke, to discuss your fertility journey thus far, health history, and goals. From there, Dr. Duke will create a customized treatment plan for you.
Start Your Treatment
Once you and your Doctor agree on your personalized treatment plan, your financial concierge will reach out to discuss that plan, including all financial information and payment options. If you decide to proceed with us, you will then meet your treatment concierge who will schedule you to begin treatment, as well as grant you access to your treatment calendar, via your patient portal account. This is where you can schedule appointments, coordinate prescriptions, and send 24/7 communications with your care team.
