How long is the waiting list to see a physician at LifeQuest?

How quickly can I get into the program after my initial visit with the doctor?

This depends on your specific situation, and the number of tests you and your doctor decide are required to make an accurate diagnosis. Generally speaking, though, patients are admitted into LifeQuest programs one or two months after their initial visit with a doctor. This time can be shorter, however, if you have already had infertility treatment at another clinic, and your file is up-to-date.
