Infertile in Alaska

Hi, looking for recommendations for clinics you may have used.  We need one that does embryo transfers, wish we could do it in-state, but I'd like to at least stay as close as possible...

Have you seen Dr. Balthazar at Anchorage Women's Clinic? She's only up here for another year and is (according to many) absolutely amazing. I haven't seen her, but my friend is and loves her. She's been trying to conceive for four years and finally has gotten it figured out. :)

Good luck!!

Anchorage Women's Clinic is a great place! I've been seeing my Dr since having my daughter 6yrs ago and the clinic/dr came highly recommended from from friends and ladies in groups on other sites I'm part of. I don't know to what extent of fertility treatments and so forth that they do but I'm sure they could point you in the right direction at least. Good luck!

Late response in case you find this. Dear lord in heaven, if you haven't seen Dr Balthazar yet, you need to. I've been with her since the beginning, as an AMA Infertile and though we've had losses, she was amazing. Plus she finally figured out what was wrong, got me hooked up with PNW in Seattle for DE IVF, and I'm once again pregnant and finally may make it. 

Alaska is so lucky to have her. She is the very first RE in the state and is entirely too good to be here so far from the movers and shakers in the IF world. 

ETA: Sorry, just saw the part about FET. PNW in Seattle is the closest and best to my knowledge.

I go to Alaska Women's Health at Prov. Dr. Murry recommended a family practice physician on the Kenai that does in vitro for only 2-3 thousand if you are interested in that. That is who she actually went to... much more affordable! He is mormon and believes that every woman has the right to have children and not have to spend a ton of money to achieve that.
