I was wondering what anyone thinks about the Montreal Reproductiver Centre? This is the new Centre opened up by Dr. Tan? In particular, has anyone had success there?

In particular, I am looking to do an IVF there. Sorry, I am new to this Forum/website and pressed send too soon.

Any input would be helpful!

I just completed my first cycle at this clinic and it was a wonderful experience. Sure, they're having some logistical issues getting all set up, but the care is top notch and Dr. Tan is a wonderful physician. We called the clinic up and had an appointment scheduled within a week which is amazing considering the wait list at other places. Dr. Tan spent OVER an hour and patiently explained to us all the steps and types of treatments available to us. How many other doctors do you know who would spend that much time with each patient? The facilities, albeit partially under construction, also looked very new and advanced. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this centre to anyone looking for an IVF clinic.

I agree with your comments, I just completed an IVF cycle and overall had a great experience with Dr. Tan and his team. I would recommend this clinic to anyone I know and expecially to women over 40!

I agree with the previous comments.

Last September, we got pregnant on our first IVF course with egg donation, at the MRC. We were thrilled!!... Unfortunately, I miscarried at 6 4/7 weeks... We are awaiting my next period, and then we'll start our 2nd course, hopefully before Xmas.

Hi,

I'm new to this forum thing. I am at Montreal Reproductive Centre, I am currently in the middle of an IVF treatment cycle. I was wondering how is it for egg collection, that has me worried. Should I have a general anaesthetic or do they freeze you up so well down there and give you some happy drugs ?

Hi, everyone! Has there been any successes at MRC (non-donor cycles)? I am going to cycle there in January 2012, so I am wondering what to expect. I've cycled 3 times at MFC (2 cancelled and 1 failed IVF)...it would be great to know if anyone hit a home-run at MRC.

I have been at The Montreal Reproductive Centre since last July. I love this clinic and everyone who works there, Dr. Tan, the coordinators, the doctors and nurses. Everyone is so kind. Dr. Tan is an amazing doctor who knows his stuff. I highly recommend this clinic.

I posted this elsewhere, but just to be sure that the message gets out, I had my 3rd round of IVF at Dr. Tan's clinic (1st 2 at other clinics) and I had a success!

Dr. Tan took the most time with me by far, paid me the most respect as a patient by far, and was willing to investigate all possible issues to assure I became pregnant. He and his team are marvelous. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Hi, I just wanted to share my experience at the MRC. It has been very positive, from start to now. I did 2 rounds of IVF, and this second time has been successful! While I am thrilled about the outcome , what was important to me was the process of going the treatments and the care I received - and I was very happy with the treatment there. From the front desk to Dr. Tan, I never had a bad experience. The nurses are exceptionally nice and dedicated, and when you go in to the OR to do egg collection or transfer, you get the feeling that people are enjoying and are confident at what they're doing. I would suggest, like in any medical situation, that you be very organized with your dates and next steps. After all, we're all human, and my attitude was that I help in keeping on top of all calendar items and being ready with dates when I would arrive at the clinic for an appointment.
I remember when I first logged onto IVF.ca, I asked the forum "what's the catch" when it comes to the MRC. I had found this small, intimate clinic near to where I live, and I wondered was I missing something - and another forum participant, said "there is no catch." And she was right. Good luck!

if it wasnt for Dr. Tan thinking outside the box and pushing me to do immune testing (costly but you get some back with your taxes)  I would never have gotten my first POSITIVE ever!

Our daughter is almost two now!  We conceived at MRC (Now called OriginElle) and we are trying for our second.  If it wasn't for Dr. Tan's out of box thinking and expertise, we may not have continued this journey.  He is like our personal doctor on call, replying to us day and night from around the world!   I highly recommend Dr. Tan. Good luck to all!
