Ridgewood, NJ – March 24, 2010 - Based on 2008 data just published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, The Valley Hospital Fertility Center has one of the best overall embryo implantation rates in New Jersey.
“Essentially, this means that a single embryo implanted at our Fertility Center during in vitro fertilization has an exceptionally high chance of resulting in a pregnancy,” explains Ali Nasseri, M.D., Ph.D., medical director of The Valley Hospital Fertility Center. “We are dedicated to offering personalized, compassionate services for singles and couples seeking to conceive.”

The CDC data examined rates across four age categories of women undergoing in vitro fertilization. Although some other New Jersey fertility centers may have fared slightly better in one age category or another, The Valley Hospital Fertility Center had the highest overall rates for the total age span evaluated (under age 35 to age 42). These 2008 results were similar to Valley’s 2007 rates.
“These success rates testify to the expertise and experience of our three board-certified reproductive endocrinologists/fertility specialists and to the research and dedication of our entire fertility services team,” says Margaret Robinson, R.N., administrative director of the Center.
The Valley Hospital Fertility Center is a state-of-the-art facility located at Valley’s Robert and Audrey Luckow Pavilion in Paramus. The Center’s on-site andrology, endocrinology, and embryology laboratories enable physicians and scientists to offer patients sophisticated diagnostic testing and treatment services in one convenient location. The Center’s services include infertility and reproductive endocrinology testing; minimally invasive surgical treatments; ovulation induction; in vitro fertilization; intrauterine insemination; intracytoplasmic sperm injection; testicular biopsies; preimplantation genetic diagnosis, egg, sperm, and embryo banking; gestational carriers; donor eggs; and psychological counseling and support services.
The Valley Hospital Fertility Center is affiliated with the New York University Fertility Center. The Valley fertility team conducts research independently and in collaboration with the NYU fertility team to investigate the mechanisms of infertility and to improve diagnostic testing methods, treatment modalities and protocols, and outcomes of fertility treatment. Last year, Dr. Nasseri appeared on the cover of New Jersey Monthly magazine and was named to its “Top Doctors” listing.
The Valley Hospital Fertility Center participates with most insurance companies, including Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 201-634-5400 or visit www.valleyivf.com.
