Who's Who in the Infertility World?
An Infertility Starting Lineup
By Neilia Sherman
When Bethany and Daniel go to their first appointment with their RE, they will take along some questions to ask to ensure a good patient-doctor fit.

- What are your office hours? (Do they accommodate your work schedule for tests and procedures?)
- How many times will you try the same treatment before moving on in the game plan?
- Do you perform all major procedures in your office?
- What do you charge?
- What is your success rate?
