GoStork helps you match with your ideal clinics, based on their experience and success rates matched to your personal journey (including age and services needed), as well as the clinic’s location, costs, patient ratings and reviews, doctors experience and more. While you can sort and select based on what is important to you - below outlines what many fertility patients look for when researching their options.
What are the success rates for patients with similar cases to yours – including your age and the fertility services you’ll need? This data can help you get a better idea, for example, of your chance of success per IVF cycle or embryo transfer. We make this part easier than ever before, as we share each clinic’s most relevant success rates based on your personal journey ahead, taking both your age and the services you need into consideration. Only GoStork personalizes success rates in this way – providing a much more accurate picture than the more general success rates you may see published elsewhere.
Are the doctors at the clinics you’re considering board-certified? Where did they attend medical school? The experience, education, published research and even languages spoken are included for the doctors in each clinic’s profile in our marketplace.
Look at past patients’ thoughts on their experiences to gain insight into the fertility clinic, its practices and how welcoming it may feel.
We offer unprecedented cost transparency! You’ll see the costs for the services you need included in each clinic profile on GoStork – helping you to financially plan ahead.
A clinic close to you, or potentially your egg donor or gestational carrier, can help you reduce costs on your journey. If location is not that important, you may want to consider a clinic with specific experience dealing with cases similar to yours as a higher priority than location.

After the biopsy, the embryos are frozen. You can learn more about genetic testing in our helpful article.
