There have been many threads lately regarding different clinics, pros and cons, and what's the best clinic for each individual woman/situation.
And, there are ways to go about getting hard info on a particular clinic - sart success rates, etc. But, what about the lab? I bring this up b/c DH was talking to another IF couple recently who did a ton of research before selecting a clinic and came to the conclusion that Cornell had a "sh*tty lab," and chose another, local clinic. Huh?
So, my question is: How do you know? Full disclosure: I am a current patient at Cornell, and all I hear about is how great their lab is etc. "Cornell has the best lab," "Cornell's lab is excellent." - I hear that all the time on these boards...but again, how do you know?
Before selecting Cornell, I obviously read about the lab directors and while they have very impressive credentials, you could find other clinic lab directors with equal credentials. So, what makes the Cornell lab so good, besides rep and word of mouth..?
At the end of the day, I am thrilled with my RE and I'm not thinking of switching any time soon, but I'm just curious to know if anyone has any evidence based insight on this.
Much appreciated....TIA (I am well aware that they don't use vitrification on all cases yet)
PS - also X posting on NY board...
