Out of Town Patients

Cycle monitoring with a local doctor

Due to the quality of our services and our experienced staff, patients from all areas of Tennessee and other states throughout the country have come to Nashville Fertility Center for IVF. However, IVF requires multiple doctors’ visits for hormone assays and ultrasound monitoring throughout the cycle. For a patient who does not live in the area, the increased time commitment and cost of travel could become prohibitive. In order to accommodate patients in this situation, we have encouraged patients to have a local doctor do their hormone assays and ultrasound monitoring during their IVF cycle. This minimizes their time away from home and decreases their travel cost. The patients must come to Nashville Fertility Center for their initial visit, and then usually need not return until their egg retrieval and embryo transfer. The prerequisite tests required for both the male and female may be scheduled to occur during the initial visit, or many of these tests may be performed by a local doctor.

We have worked with many out-of-town patients and have coordinated their cycle monitoring through local physicians’ offices with great success while maintaining the unique needs of individual patients in a compassionate and caring manner.

If you would like more information about coordinating your IVF cycle monitoring with a local doctor, call Richette Torok at (615) 321-4740, extension 2405, or click the “contact NFC” button at the top of the webpage to send an email message.
