Why do patients hesitate to change IVF doctors when they are dissatisfied ?

It is common for a patient to experience failures with IVF not just once but several times. In addition, many patients are also dissatisfied with the kind of medical services provided by their clinic of choice. What is astonishing is that nevertheless, they choose to continue with the same clinic.
Many patients are stuck because they do not have any alternatives. For instance, when they are undergoing a government aided treatment procedure, they have to necessarily go to a particular clinic mandated by the government. However, when patients are paying a hefty fee for IVF treatments at private clinic, they do have the option of switching clinics, which, surprisingly, they do no avail of.

Patients may feel they are cheating their chosen doctor by discontinuing with him, even though they may be discontented with him. Some believe that the doctor who has already done one IVF cycle for them might have got considerable insight into their case and thus, may be successful the next time. Many patients simply refuse to consider better clinics either because of their false generalized perception that all IVF clinics offer the same quality of treatment; or due to their reluctance to take the effort to search for a better choice. Their reluctance may stem both from a lack of awareness and lethargy. It is possible that they may not know how and where to look.
