second opinion

Considering a second opinion? You’re not alone. At MFC, we offer something truly different. At no other location can you find the perfect mix of personal attention from the entire staff along with the 15 years of owner/operator experience and unparalleled credentials of our chief provider, Dr. Peter Uzelac.

common reasons

If your fertility journey has been complicated by a difficult medical situation or if the delivery of care has actually added burden, we invite you to discover a different way to journey: a more expansive array of solutions delivered under the Northstar of genuine care for people. Here we list some of the most common reasons that we are called upon to render a second opinion:

Lack of (or no) diagnosis

An accurate diagnosis is paramount to successful treatment outcomes. At Marin Fertility we emphasize the importance of laying a proper foundation before we build the house.

Poor IVF cycle outcomes

When things don’t go as planned, a meticulous and in depth review can often yield multiple future action items. 

Diminished ovarian reserve management

An ovary that has lost its capacity to generate a high order number of mature follicles needs to be approached differently. If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.

Egg immaturity (too many or only immature eggs)

Dr. Uzelac has an extensive published research background and special interest in egg immaturity problems.

Need for deeper lab insight and intervention

Dr. Uzelac is one of a handful of reproductive endocrinologists to possess board certification as a high complexity lab director (HCLD).

Impersonal experience

Everyone at Marin fertility knows our patients as people. This is our North Star.

Submit all prior records

Prior to your new patient appointment, please have your prior clinic submit all records to us. We ask you to acquire formal medical records by signing a records release with them. You are also welcome to submit any of your own notes. Ask your prior center to submit a COMPLETE setting of records defined as including the following:

Clinic records

  • All female pre-treatment diagnostics (AMH, tube test, saline sonogram)
  • Any pre-treatment male partner semen analysis or advanced andrology testing (he may need to sign separate records release)
  • IUI and IVF monitoring data (any lead-in medication, stimulation medication names and dosages, dates of office visits, all ultrasounds/follicle measurements and all estradiol and progesterone levels)
  • Genetic carrier screening results (for both partners)
  • All pregnancy testing and outcomes

Laboratory records

  • Total egg numbers
  • Semen analyses on day of egg retrieval
  • Egg maturation rates
  • Fertilization rates
  • Culture outcomes
  • Preimplantation genetic testing results

The more complete the information submitted, the better we can evaluate your case

Please verify receipt of all of your records 3 business days prior to your appointment. Additional records cannot be added to a second opinion after the review process has begun. Records can be transmitted to us by yourself or by your clinic via an email to [email protected] or faxed to 415.925.9410. Do NOT send to our patient portal (www.onpatient.com).

Please note that it is your clinic’s responsibility to send records. Customarily your clinic has 30 days to send them so please schedule your consultation date accordingly. Follow ups on the progress of your initial request for records should be made directly with your prior clinic.
