Summary
Physician's Statement:
Christo Zouves, M.D., is the medical director of the Zouves Fertility Center, a fertility clinic located in Foster City, California. In December of 1999, Dr. Christo Zouves realized a dream with the establishment of Zouves Fertility Center. Believing that age, marital status, relationship arrangement or financial situation should not limit anyone from receiving fertility treatment, Dr. Zouves and his fertility center team provide the latest fertility treatments, with the most technologically advanced techniques in a state-of-the-art facility.
Infertility affects 6.1 million Americans. At some point, one out of every six couples will have a problem with infertility. However, advances in assisted reproductive technology (ART) have made it possible for the vast majority of couples who have been diagnosed with infertility to fulfill their dreams of having a baby.
By the time a couple walks through the door at Zouves Fertility Center and meets Dr. Zouves, they have usually been through the fertility medicine mill. Many have been told that there is no hope, that they just can’t have children. Offering a unique combination of hope, compassion and cutting-edge technology, Dr. Zouves changes that for many of his patients. They often leave his care with their dreams fulfilled, expecting one child or more.
The Zouves Fertility Center goal is personalized quality care. Your treatment will be monitored from beginning to end by Dr. Zouves, with support from a well-trained clinical and administrative staff. This attention to detail, coupled with innovation in the treatment of infertility allows you access to a high quality program that will work closely with you to help you achieve your dream of parenthood. Zouves Fertility Center offers the latest treatment protocols for all types of infertility diagnosis. The Zouves Fertility Center staff is available to patients 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Many Zouves Fertility Center patients come from other cities, states and countries. In vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment at Zouves Fertility Center requires that the patient be at the center seven to 14 days. Zouves Fertility Center regularly works with physicians nationally and internationally to orchestrate and coordinate your care.
