Can satellite clinic patients access funded IVF?

Yes. Patients at our Markham and Sudbury locations can access funded IVF through our Toronto lab. Local monitoring is available nearby, but egg retrieval and embryo transfer take place in Toronto.

Will Ottawa clinic patients be able to access funded IVF?

Currently, funded IVF is tied to our Toronto lab. Ottawa patients can receive consultations and monitoring locally but travel to Toronto for embryology procedures. Full Ottawa-based funding may become available after 2027.

How quickly can I start IVF after my consultation?

Most patients begin their IVF cycle within 4 to 6 weeks of their initial consultation, depending on clinical preparation and diagnostic testing needs.
