Extend Fertility was founded on the premise that democratizing egg freezing could ultimately change the fertility industry and deliver better results. Our co-founder, Dr. Joshua Klein, was a reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist at one of the nation’s leading fertility practices. However, he observed that IVF’s low success rate for women over 40 and its high cost was disappointing for doctors and patients alike. Dr. Klein saw the opportunity to help women think more proactively about their fertility. He believed that if more women could access their younger eggs during the IVF process, more women would see successful outcomes.
Since our founding, we have helped thousands of patients on their fertility journey through egg freezing and IVF – putting them in charge of their fertility future instead of letting time dictate the path. Extend Fertility began offering egg freezing at 40% below the national average cost. By 2017, we were the largest egg freezing practice in the nation. Since then, we have expanded to offer a full range of infertility services, including IVF, in a small practice environment that is more personal, higher quality and data driven.
We believe that no one should fear what they don’t know about their own fertility. We share a passion for delivering fertility in a more caring and transparent way. Because ultimately, what we do every day has the potential to change lives.
