University of Iowa Health Care's infertility care expanded to include a West Des Moines location to better serve central Iowans. Patients still travel to the UI Center for Advanced Reproductive Care in Iowa City, where the center’s accredited laboratory is located, for egg retrievals and embryo transfers. All other clinical care, including infertility diagnosis and intrauterine insemination (IUI) procedures, happens locally.
A national leader for elective single-embryo transfers, UI Health Care has the highest success rate in Iowa—10% higher than the national average for pregnancy success.
“We have an amazing team,” says reproductive endocrinologist Abigail Mancuso, MD, a clinical assistant professor in the UI Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. “We’re all very patient-focused and there to make sure that the patient feels like an individual, that we’re really looking at their case individually, and that their voice is heard.”
