PEW RESEARCH DATA RELEASED IN September 2023 showed that, as the average age at which American women first give birth rises, the use of fertility treatments is also rising: 42 percent of adults say they have used fertility treatments or know someone who has, up from 33 percent just five years ago. To help people locate the best facility to meet their needs, Newsweek has partnered with Statista for the second annual ranking of America's Best Fertility Clinics.
The ranking, which lists the top 125 clinics nationwide, is compiled from four different sources: an online survey of medical professionals working in the field of fertility, an analysis of Assisted Reproductive Technology quality metrics published by the CDC, accreditation data on the clinics and patient satisfaction based on Google reviews. During the survey period, which took place in January and February, participants were asked to recommend facilities and assess the quality of diagnosis and treatment of fertility problems, fertility counseling, accommodation and service, and overall nurse staffing.
This year, Google reviews were included in the scoring model, which was also adjusted to give increased weight to the ART quality metrics pillar. The resulting list provides a portrait of the country's best fertility clinics, and we hope it's helpful for anyone looking to have a new addition to the family. Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief
For the second year, Statista and Newsweek have partnered to identify the top 125 fertility clinics in the U.S. Only facilities defined as a fertility clinic and assisted reproductive technologies provider by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were considered in the scope of this project. To create a ranking, a score was calculated for each clinic. The total score is based on four data sources: reputation, quality metrics, accreditations and patient satisfaction.
