ART - Assisted Reproductive Technology

What is A.R.T?  Assisted Reproductive Technology

Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) include those infertility treatments in which both eggs and sperm are handled in the laboratory for the purpose of improving fertilization.  These ARTs include In Vitro Fertilization and related procedures.  Physicians have been treating patients with ARTs for more than twenty years to help couples overcome their infertility. Perhaps in no other specialty of medicine has understanding of normal Cell Biology advanced so quickly and raised so many questions as in the field of ART. In just two decades, we have seen the initiation, development, and general acceptance of ARTs that have enabled us to help couples achieve a pregnancy that they never thought was within their reach.

Advanced Facility Makes It Easy and Convenient

The Assisted Reproductive Technology Program at CRH has been formulated on the basis of the most advanced scientific techniques currently available and with the recognition that our outcome oriented approach should lead to outstanding success rates.  Our goal is to develop the most successful ART treatment plan for each individual patient. The Center provides a centralized office environment for all aspects of the monitoring phase of the cycle including the availability of ultrasound monitoring, laboratory blood drawing facilities and endocrine monitoring of follicular development. In this integrated setting, patients receive all testing and medications on-site to ensure their privacy and for their convenience.
