Dr. Lane and her team of highly trained fertility experts use the most modern medical technology to provide Preimplantation Genetic Screening or Diagnosis for her patients from Novato, San Francisco, The North Bay and other nearby locations.
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis or screening, or PGS/D, is a reproductive technology employed with an IVF cycle. PGS/D can be utilized for the diagnosis of a genetic disorder in early embryos before implantation and pregnancy occur.

We contact with a limited number of insurance companies. When contracting with insurance companies, providers are often forced to increase their fees to ensure maximum reimbursement. We believe that this negatively impacts that majority of our patients who are without insurance benefits. Therefore, we have chosen to not take this approach.

In addition, because of our unique patient care model, patients typically find that their care is so well stream-lined and carefully administered that their overall costs are still lower than what they “paid other places”.
