Where to do research on fertility clinics?

Been to one couple of years ago and now looking at switching. Where is a good place online to get info on each? I'm looking beyond a clinic's website as obviously that's the first place to go.

    Beyond word of mouth there aren't many places online to find info.

    www.sart.org, has stats/success rates for every clinic in the U.S.

    We went for the Center for Reproductive Medicine in Minneapolis and had a successful IVF on our 1st attempt.

    Good Luck in your search :)

    I think Angieslist has tried to jump into the business of rating doctors/offices as well, but I don't think they've been very successful in that arena.

     I also went to the Center for Reproductive Medicine. I liked the staff there.

    Good luck!

    Also had a great experience at CRM.  I posted on the Infertility board and heard that CRM was a great place.  We got pg on our 1st IUI.  Good luck!

    I don't know, but I also saw Dr. Malo at CRM and loved it there. I felt so hopeful walking through their doors. I did clomid for my first two babies.

    I've only been to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester because I live here and I grew up here. I love the doctors in the reproductive endocrinology department! I've been going there ever since I found out about my infertility.
