A preimplantation genetic diagnosis is the procedure by which a doctor or another professional analyzes the genetic compatibility of a woman's reproductive system through a fertilized egg that is destined to be implanted there. The idea behind this process is to determine whether the system will be viable for the successful attachment and development of that egg, and is important because the procedure of in-vitro fertilization of this type can be massively expensive.
Choosing a Specialist
When it comes to selecting a doctor or specialist to work with for preimplantation genetic diagnoses, your best plan is to work with someone who has the most experience available. This will enable that person to be the best possible judge of the situation that he can be. Look in the phone directory and online for specialists in your area. Because of the nature of the profession and the fact that there aren't many specialists of this type, you may also wish to look for specialists all around the country.
Setting up an Appointment
Contact the office of any specialist that looks to be suitable for your goals and financial situation. Attempt to set up an appointment; you'll likely need to provide a great deal of information that is preliminary in order to determine whether you'll even qualify for an appointment, so be sure to have your medical records and other pertinent information on hand at all times.
