Choosing a good IVF doctor


A good doctor can assure you good medical care. Almost all patients blindly believe their personal doctor to be highly capable. But in truth, it is hard to gauge the competency of your doctor.

Patients lack the technical expertise to judge the ability of the doctor. Therefore, they use secondary sourced of information and surrogate markers to select a doctor. Recommendations about the doctor from a friend or a family member or another doctor as considered acceptable reviews about the doctor’s competence. Apart from this, people judge their doctor by his bedside manner, the ambience of his clinic, his professional reputation or any newspaper articles about him. Sadly, these reviews are not sufficient and are unreliable at best.

To ensure the best medical care from a competent doctor, it is essential to spend your time and energy to do your homework. Information Therapy can be used to evaluate the most important criteria of technical competence for your treatment of concern. Contrary to popular belief, is is a simple task thanks to technology. For instance, at an IVF clinic, always insist on seeing photographs of your embryos. Good IVF clinics have the clinical expertise to create good embryos and they will have photographs to this effect, which they will be glad to show to a patient. It might not be wise to trust an IVF doctor, if he hesitates to show you the photographs of your embryos.
