Aurora Fertility Services West Allis | IVF Success Rates & Fees

About

Aurora Fertility Services - West Allis is the assisted reproductive technology (ART) clinic that Aurora Health Care operates on the second floor of 8901 West Lincoln Avenue in West Allis, Wisconsin, on Milwaukee’s west side. Aurora Health Care is a large Midwestern system now operating under Advocate Health; the fertility service is one unit inside it, and the physician profile for this site lists Aurora West Allis Medical Center as its hospital affiliation. Our dossier describes that system in general terms and records no hospital count or clinic opening date, so the founding year carried in the data block above should be read as a dataset attribute, not as evidence that this fertility program has run since that year.

The clinic’s own SART record is the substantive thing here. SART’s 2023 final clinic summary report (ClinicPKID 2376, report unit 0704) covers 424 cycles and reports cumulative live birth per intended egg retrieval across all embryo transfers: 51.9% for patients under 35, 39.2% at ages 35-37, 25.8% at ages 38-40. The over-40 band is not published for this clinic, because the age-specific case counts there fall under SART’s small-cell masking threshold; we therefore make no claim, in either direction, about outcomes over 40 here.

Because the clinic row and the national row on this page come from the same registry and the same reporting year (SART 2023 and the SART 2023 National Summary), they can be read side by side: 51.9% against 53.2% under 35, 39.2% against 39.9% at 35-37, 25.8% against 26.2% at 38-40. The clinic sits marginally below the national figure in each reported band, which is close enough that case mix and clinic size matter more than the gap itself. One definitional caveat worth keeping in mind: the clinic line is cumulative per intended retrieval across all transfers, while the national line in our dataset is keyed to fresh transfers, so the small differences are not exact like-for-like measurements.

The program is mid-scale rather than large: 424 cycles in 2023, with 932 cycles recorded as the national per-clinic average in the same dataset. We do not turn that into a multiple, because the cycle-count averages in our sources mix reporting bases. What the data does show clearly is a frozen-transfer-only pattern in what this clinic reports: the fresh-transfer cells are empty in the 2023 report because the fresh cohort was too small to publish, and CDC’s 2022 service table recorded 100% of this clinic’s embryo transfers as frozen. The clinic’s frozen figures - 80.0% under 35, 50.0% at 35-37, 60.0% at 38-40, for frozen blastocyst transfer without PGT-A, measured per single embryo transfer - describe a narrower procedure than the national frozen figures in our dataset (46.6%, 44.9%, 40.7%), so treat them as a description of what this clinic’s frozen program reported, not as a ranking against the country. Donor-related activity in 2023 was small in absolute terms: 19 frozen donor embryo cycles reported at 68.4% live birth per transfer, and one donated embryo cycle, which is too few cases to rate at all.

Two more structural facts from the same report. The Medical Director named on the 2023 SART submission is Katherine A. Green, M.D., who does not appear among the physician profiles we carry for this site. And the two physician profiles we do carry - Dr. Aida Shanti and Dr. Ellen C. Hayes - are not equally current: Hayes was no longer listed in the Aurora/Advocate physician directory when it was checked in August 2026, and now appears at other Milwaukee-area practices.

Accreditations & Awards

SART membership (Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology) - the clinic holds ClinicPKID 2376, and its 2023 final clinic summary report is published, which is why the numbers on this page exist
Lab accreditation confirmed by CDC reporting - CDC’s ART clinic data for this site records “Verified lab accreditation: Yes”, and CDC’s SART-membership field reads Yes
CAP (College of American Pathologists) - recorded in our dossier as the lab-accreditation body, with the CAP accreditation entry point as the verification link; our research pass did not query the CAP registry directly, so the confirmation runs through the CDC field rather than a certificate check at CAP
CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) - a federal requirement for clinical laboratory work of this kind, listed in our dossier as the applicable laboratory standard rather than as an award
Clinic-level awards: none. Our sources record no institutional award or ranking for the West Allis clinic itself. The physician-level listings (Castle Connolly, MKE Lifestyle, Milwaukee Magazine, Exceptional Women In Medicine) belong to individual doctors and are covered on their own pages, where they should be read as third-party magazine and directory selections rather than as clinical grading
State clinic licence: our dossier holds no Wisconsin licence number for this site, so we cannot show a verified licence record

Why Choose Aurora Fertility Services - West Allis

Hospital-system backing without a standalone-lab gamble. The clinic runs inside Aurora Health Care, whose physician profiles list Aurora West Allis Medical Center as the affiliation, and whose embryology lab shows as accredited in CDC’s reporting. If your case escalates to hospital-level care, the referral path is inside the same system.
A published outcome record you can verify yourself. The clinic submits to SART and the 2023 final report is public, so the rates on this page can be re-checked against the registry rather than taken on the clinic’s word.
Frozen transfers, not fresh ones. The 2023 report’s fresh-transfer cells are empty and CDC’s 2022 table shows all transfers frozen, which points to a lab routine built on vitrification, thawing and single-embryo transfer - the workflow associated with lower multiple-pregnancy risk, and with the option to bank embryos for later use.
Early hours, weekday schedule. Monday to Friday 07:00-16:00, closed Saturday and Sunday. For patients monitoring follicles before work, a 07:00 opening is a practical difference, not a footnote.
Language assistance at no charge. The clinic’s own location information records language assistance in several languages, including Simplified Chinese, provided free. The staff languages our dossier documents are English, Arabic and French; Chinese-language help is recorded as assistance, not as a clinician who consults in Chinese.
One phone number to get in. Appointments run through Aurora’s single fertility scheduling line, with the clinic’s own desk number as the triage contact.

IVF & Fertility Services

IVF - ovarian stimulation, monitoring, egg retrieval, fertilization and embryo transfer
ICSI - single-sperm injection used in the male-factor cases that come through the IVF program
IUI - intrauterine insemination, the clinic’s listed lower-intervention option
PGT-A - embryo genetic screening; note that the clinic’s published 2023 frozen figures are for transfers done without PGT-A, so testing is offered but the reported numbers describe the untested group
Egg freezing - oocyte cryopreservation, listed among the clinic’s reported services
Donor egg program - donor egg is listed among the clinic’s reported services; the 2023 report’s donor figures are grouped as 19 frozen donor embryo cycles
Donated embryo program - one cycle reported in 2023, too few cases to rate
Gestational carrier support - the clinic reports gestational carrier services, which is the ART-side support for patients who cannot carry a pregnancy
Donor sperm - this tag is carried in the structured service list above; our dossier’s service summary for this clinic names donor egg and donated embryo programs and does not separately document a donor-sperm program, so confirm it directly
LGBTQ+ family building - the tag above comes from our dataset. For this location, the documented evidence is thinner: one physician profile carried here lists the specialty, and that physician is no longer in the Aurora directory. Ask the clinic what it currently offers
Surgical and diagnostic scope - our sources do not document an on-site surgical suite, hysteroscopy service or andrology lab for this clinic, and we will not infer them from the system’s size

Fees & Packages

There is no published price list that our sources verify as current for this clinic. Our dossier does record Aurora’s flat-fee pricing model and a set of approximate figures, but the same entry flags those numbers as not re-checked against a current Aurora publication, and they were carried forward from earlier material rather than read off a live price page. Treated honestly, that means: budget against them, do not quote them.

IVF standard package - roughly $12,500 to $12,800 in our dossier’s figures
Frozen embryo transfer (FET) - roughly $3,500 to $3,600
Shared Success program - $22,000 for patients 35 and under, $24,000 at ages 36-37. Our dossier records the name and those two age-tiered figures only; qualifying conditions, attempt limits and refund terms are not documented
IUI - roughly $1,300
Egg freezing - roughly $8,800

What those figures do not tell you is what sits inside a cycle fee. Our sources do not state whether monitoring scans, bloodwork, ICSI, PGT-A, embryo freezing or storage are bundled or billed separately, and they document no medication cost at all. Medication is a common separate line in ART billing, but we cannot tell you from our sources how Aurora handles it here. We also found no published installment plan, financing partner or discount program for this clinic. Insurance is a genuine lever here: the physician profile we captured for this site lists multiple accepted plans, but the plan-by-plan details were not recorded, and Aurora’s own materials are not a coverage determination for you. Ask for a written quote that separates cycle fee from medications, testing, freezing and storage, and have the clinic verify your benefits in writing before a cycle starts.

Patient Journey

Our sources for this clinic give the sequence but not the calendar. What is documented:

Booking - schedule through Aurora’s patient portal or the fertility appointment line; the clinic desk number is the triage contact.
Initial evaluation - history and fertility workup, with diagnostic testing ordered for the individual case.
Treatment plan - the physician sets the protocol: IUI, IVF, a donor program or preservation.
Cycle start - stimulation and monitoring; retrieval and transfer are the two scheduled procedures.
Follow-up - pregnancy testing after transfer and, if successful, ongoing monitoring.

Everything patients actually ask about is the timing between those steps, and that is what our sources do not publish: stimulation length, scan frequency, the interval from retrieval to transfer, the wait for results, and the gap between consultation and first monitored cycle are all unrecorded here. Two things can be inferred from the data rather than from a brochure: a weekday 07:00 opening points to monitoring appointments before work, and a program whose reported transfers are all frozen means transfer happens in a later cycle than retrieval, not the same one. Ask the coordinator for the specific calendar in your protocol.

Local Legal Framework

What our dossier records for Wisconsin is brief, and we will not extend it:

Clinic licensing and professional standards - Wisconsin requires assisted reproductive clinics to hold a state practice licence, and our source notes that ART practice follows ASRM clinical guidance. No statute number is cited in our dossier and we did not verify one against a primary legal source, so treat this as general orientation rather than legal advice.
Parentage - our source states that Wisconsin law recognizes the legal parentage of married couples in this context.
Surrogacy - our source records legal limitations on surrogacy arrangements in Wisconsin. It does not cite the statute or case law behind that statement, so if a gestational carrier plan is on your table, get Wisconsin family-law counsel before any cycle starts rather than relying on this page.
Data on this page - the SART and CDC figures are registry-published outcomes for a reporting unit; they are not a state compliance finding.

If you need the actual text of a Wisconsin provision on donor gametes, embryo status or surrogacy enforceability, our sources for this clinic do not identify it, and we have deliberately not imported legal language from other clinic pages in the same state.
