Why Choose VCRM?
VCRM offers quality care in a small, boutique setting. The result is that everyone-the prospective parents, and the donors- are in the best of hands. You are treated with respect and sensitivity, while being provided the benefits of the latest technological advances. Each time, you will see the same doctor and the same nurses. VCRM is truly a place where everyone knows your name and, significantly, your medical case.
Dr Sharara, a leader in his field, will perform all your examinations and all the procedures, including each ultrasound monitoring, as well as the egg retrieval and the embryo transfer (compared to other clinics where the nurses or technician performs the ultrasounds and whichever doctor is on duty performs your egg retrieval and/or the embryo transfer procedure). It is not just your comfort level that benefits. This continuity of care contributes to the high success rate of our clinic.
VCRM also offers the most competitive prices in the DC area. When comparing fees at other clinics, ask what is included in the fee. VCRM's fees include many procedures that are "extras" at many other clinics. For example, we do not charge extra for ICSI, extended cultures, assisted hatching, or embryo freezing and storage (for the first year). If these are necessary (and most of them are), you will not be billed extra.
Finally, at VCRM, we not only offer all the above-quality care in a caring, hands-on setting at competitive prices-you have the highest likelihood in the entire DC area of taking home a healthy baby after your first cycle. And that, of course, is what this is all about.

We are conducting a pilot research study using egg donors. As part of the study that is partly funded by EMD Serono, your donor will qualify for some free medications that will significantly reduce your cost by at least $2000/cycle (the medications include Gonal-F, Luveris, and Ovidrel). You will still be responsible for some medications such as lupron and progesterone. The study evaluates the use of a novel medication in reducing (and hopefully eliminating) the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
Our rates are one of the top 10 in the US, and the highest in the whole North East region, according to www.fertilitysuccessrates.com, and www.sart.org. Please see the disclaimer.
