New Direction Fertility Centers - Scottsdale

About New Direction Fertility Centers - Scottsdale

Scottsdale is a consultation and monitoring office of New Direction Fertility Centers, not a full IVF clinic. The brand’s own locations page describes it as “a Scottsdale location for consultations, monitoring, and coordinated fertility treatment—supported by the same physicians, laboratory standards, and transparent pricing philosophy.” Consultations, cycle monitoring and IUI run at this address; egg retrievals and IVF are coordinated to the brand’s Gilbert clinic, its full-service site with the main IVF laboratory. The same source lists the brand’s other offices: Avondale (a West Valley satellite), Henderson in the Las Vegas area, and La Jolla, California, which our sources flag as an outside monitoring partner rather than a New Direction-operated location.

Two physicians are recorded seeing patients here. Dr. Wael Salem is assigned to Scottsdale alone, and ProIVF carries his full profile for this location. Founder Dr. Mark Amols splits his practice across Gilbert, Scottsdale and Las Vegas. The founding year carried on this page (2015) belongs to the brand, not to this address: our sources log 2015 as the year New Direction started and give no opening date for the Scottsdale office, so no “since 2015” history applies to this clinic. The office sits on the first floor of the Scottsdale Gateway I building with a step-free entrance, and its Google listing shows 4.9 stars across 33 reviews.

What the numbers on this page actually cover. Scottsdale files no SART or CDC report of its own. Every rate and count below comes from the brand’s single institutional report: SART clinic ID 2001177, member number 0971, registered to the Gilbert laboratory, with Mark Amols listed as medical director. SART 2024 Preliminary, cumulative live birth per intended retrieval across all embryo transfers, for the brand as a whole: 54.5% under 35 (224 retrievals), 42.3% at 35-37 (130), 17.0% at 38-40 (106), and 10.6% at 41 and up (133 cycles, a cycle-weighted merge of 14.9% at 41-42 and 5.1% over 42). The same report lists 1,622 cycles — a brand-wide figure shared unchanged across this brand’s satellite pages, with no split by office in our sources. It is not a count of what happens at this address.

Why these numbers are not compared to the national row on this page. The national figures (53.2 / 39.9 / 26.2 / 9.4 by the same bands) are SART’s 2023 national summary — a different reporting year. The clinic row is 2024 Preliminary, and preliminary-year data runs low by design because late-reported deliveries have not yet been counted. And the clinic row is a multi-branch brand unit, not this office. Different year, different reporting stage, different unit: no band-by-band “above” or “below” the national average is drawn here, and you should not draw one from this chart either. The 1,622-cycle figure and the 932-cycle national figure are likewise not put into ratio: one is a brand’s reporting unit across several offices, the other a national per-clinic average. The fresh-transfer and frozen-transfer rows on this page are null — our sources carry no fresh-versus-frozen breakdown for this report, so no claim about which transfer type drives these rates is made.

Accreditations & Awards

• SART member practice. The brand is SART member number 0971 and is listed in SART’s CORS ClinicSearch under clinic ID 2001177; the CDC ART portal records the unit as a SART member. That filing duty is why age-band outcomes exist publicly at all — and why they arrive as one brand-level report rather than an office-by-office breakdown
• CLIA-compliant laboratory (main campus). Our sources record the brand’s primary laboratory as meeting CLIA standards — the lab where Scottsdale patients’ retrievals and embryo cultures are performed. No certificate number appears in the captured site, and no JCI or CAP accreditation is shown on its footer or About pages in our sources; ask to see the certificate at your consult
• LifeAire air filtration at the lab your cycle runs through. The brand’s facility materials describe a LifeAire system validated, per those materials, by US Homeland Security to eliminate 99.99% of airborne pathogens and chemical contaminants. This is a vendor and clinic claim, not registry-verified data
• Single-patient incubation. Each patient’s embryos are held in their own incubator, with the clinic stating the unit rebuilds optimal temperature and pH within 3 minutes after access, against roughly 2 hours at traditional centers it contrasts itself with — again a clinic-published figure
• Patient rating. The Scottsdale listing on Google Maps carries 4.9 stars across 33 reviews, checked 2026-08-11

Why Choose New Direction Fertility Centers - Scottsdale

• Care near you, one lab behind it. Consultations, monitoring and IUI happen in Scottsdale; retrievals and transfers run through the Gilbert embryology lab, which the brand says holds the same laboratory standards. If you want the egg retrieval itself at your consultation address, this is not that office
• One physician assigned specifically to this address. Dr. Wael Salem — board-certified in both Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, with peer-reviewed publications on PCOS, preimplantation genetic testing and IVF safety — practices at Scottsdale specifically, per the brand’s physician pages and the appointment form’s Physician Preference options
• A spelled-out coordination path. The clinic’s own process puts monitoring and IUI at Scottsdale and IVF surgery at Gilbert before treatment starts, so you know which visits happen where from the first appointment
• Prices published on the site, brand-unified here. IVF at $6,500, IUI at $1,000, IVF with PGT-A at $9,700 and egg freezing at $2,500, each with a written inclusions list and a written exclusion list
• Same-day first contact. After you request an appointment online or by phone, the physician team calls back the same day for an initial conversation, per the clinic’s published process
• Worth knowing before you choose it. There is no independent Scottsdale outcome report, no published opening date for this office, and no office hours in our sources — confirm scheduling and how much of your cycle stays local at the consult

Fees & Packages

The figures below are the brand’s published package prices (website pricing block, 2026 data in our sources), and our sources record them as applying at Scottsdale. This is clinic-published pricing, not third-party verified.

Explicitly outside those prices, per the brand’s own exclusion list: pre-treatment testing, obstetric care after a pregnancy, ICSI ($600), anesthesia for IVF ($500), long-term storage (embryos $600, eggs $400, sperm $300), PGD testing paid directly to the third-party lab, and all medications. The site’s newer cost estimator puts medication at $1,500-$4,000 and PGT-A testing at $3,200 for up to 8 embryos. Insurance is handled by a financial counselor who checks your coverage alongside the fertility workup; our sources detail no insurance terms and no installment program, so ask about both directly.

Patient Journey

1. Consultation request — book online or by phone; the physician team calls back the same day for an initial conversation, then you meet at the Scottsdale office to lay out testing and a treatment roadmap
2. Fertility workup — hormone testing, ultrasound and semen analysis, while a financial counselor confirms insurance coverage and costs in parallel
3. Personalized plan — the physician sets the protocol from your results and goals; the clinic says every step and its cost is communicated in full before treatment begins
4. Cycle start — you contact the center on cycle day 1 to begin preparation; the protocol typically includes at least 21 days of oral contraception to suppress and synchronize follicles before stimulation starts
5. Monitoring in Scottsdale, procedures in Gilbert — ultrasounds and bloodwork stay local, alongside IUI; egg retrieval and embryo culture are coordinated to the Gilbert laboratory
6. Transfer and testing — frozen embryo transfer can run 6-8 weeks after retrieval; a blood hCG test about 10-14 days after transfer checks for pregnancy
7. After a positive test — follow-up continues until a fetal heartbeat is confirmed, then care moves to an obstetric provider; unused embryos stay in storage

Local Legal Framework

Our sources record four points of Arizona’s assisted-reproduction framework for this clinic and reproduce no statutory text. Practical reading:

• Surrogacy: the sources state that Title 25 of the Arizona Revised Statutes gives legal effect to surrogacy agreements, and that commercial arrangements proceed through lawful surrogacy contracts. Because this is summarized in clinic-research materials rather than verified against the statute word-for-word, retain an Arizona reproductive-law attorney before any arrangement
• Egg and sperm donation: permitted, and run on written donation agreements that our sources describe as legally protective of the parties’ rights
• Embryo testing: PGT-A and PGT-M face no special legal restriction in Arizona per our sources; standard informed consent applies
• Stored embryos: no Arizona statute in our sources fixes their legal status, so the reproductive agreements you sign set who decides on storage, transfer, donation or disposition — read those carefully
