Abstract

We evaluated and compared different factors affecting a patient's choice of initial and subsequent in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics using an Internet-based survey. The two highest-ranking factors affecting both initial and subsequent clinic choices were the success rate of the clinic and the quality of the service provided.
