RP-UCSD provides IVF Services for the US Armed Forces

August 27th, 2009 by admin

San Diego Armed Services Logo Reproductive Partners-UCSD Regional Fertility Center has been exclusively providing IVF services to the US Armed Forces for over 10 years with extraordinary success. We are the only program within San Diego that has a long standing successful relationship working with the US Armed Forces.

Reproductive Partners was chosen for our outstanding IVF success rates that are well above the national averages in all categories and for our world class embryology lab. Additonally, our center is the only fertility center in San Diego receiving special recognition for achieving these high pregnancy rates with a low average number of embryos being transferred, which reduces the risk of triplets and the risks associated with higher order multiple pregnancies.

We are very proud that the military has continued to entrust us to provide IVF care for them. Qualified Military beneficiaries may use our Embryology services that have a proven successful track record in conjunction with the Navy Physicians. Patients may also elect to have all of their IVF services performed here at Reproductive Partners-UCSD Regional Fertility Center and take advantage of our discount for military patients. Please contact our financial services representative to find out more information.
