This clinic does not publish egg-freezing pricing publicly, so we leave it blank rather than guess. Ask them to break out four numbers: cycle fee, medications, annual storage, and future thaw/transfer.
Editorial notes
VERIFIED KEEP. Dr. Polansky's REI board certification (1988) and 35+ year track record are the strongest single-doctor verification in this set. Confirmed via bayivf.com, SART detailed clinic summary (ClinicPKID=2552), and Doximity. Succession risk noted (single principal).
