When I started doing infertility some 27, 28 years ago, I had doubts because pregnancy rates were so low it was depressing. 1 of 10 patients got pregnant. So 9 of 10 times you would call a patient and say, "Sorry, it didn't work."
Today, we get upset if a patient doesn't get pregnant. I believe we pretty much have reached a plateau where we can predict who's going to get pregnant 9 of 10 times.
Sometimes as a fertility patient, you really don't want to share your experiences with your close friends, or your family members. And you end up in this very frustrating, very difficult treatment and diagnosis that you will need someone to be there to hold your hand, to guide you through. And fertility nurses that we have here at PFCLA are very compassionate. They will provide this personalized care for you.
We are a handful of doctors, well-trained, we've been doing it for years and years. And we really like to give that one-on-one care. We know the patients and the patients' thoughts. I do my own ultrasounds, every doctor in this institution does their own ultrasounds. You're, basically, supported by a doctor, by an IVF coordinator, by nurses, by the financial personnel. We never really make you feel you don't belong.
Personally for me, that moment when you receive an email with a picture of the couple at the hospital and the baby.,Or they bring in the baby for a baby visit, that's the most rewarding moment of any of us here with our careers.
I have patients actually who have visited me from Florida every two years with their twins, who are now 20 something, because of the gratitude they feel. So, when you offer a service and you see the reward is gratitude, it's unequal.
So, I'm really excited about the future of PFCLA. This is a group that is growing very rapidly, new technology getting added, new team members coming on board. I'm really excited to see how we go from here.
