The Pacific Centre for Reproductive Medicine (PCRM) in Greater Victoria is at the forefront of addressing fertility challenges with personalized, holistic care.
PCRM's approach provides traditional fertility treatments that address both the emotional and medical aspects of fertility.
“One in six couples struggle with fertility – what is key is that every patient has a unique set of circumstances which require a personalized medical approach to manage,” says Dr. Ken Seethram.
“Our shared journey is meant to find out the best approach to solving infertility by having a healthy child or building a family – and each approach will be different for every single patient. From that information, our doctors create an individualized plan for their fertility."
Top-tier treatment meets affordability
As part of a wider group of fertility clinics, the Victoria branch of PCRM offers testing and monitoring, while procedure services are offered in its Burnaby location. Consolidating services into a single location fosters excellent patient outcomes and helps keep prices low for patients.
To help manage the travel needs of patients, PCRM offers a travel reimbursement of $1,000 for patients traveling to their Burnaby lab for the oocyte retrieval, and $1,000 for each embryo transfer visit.
Once a patient decides to see PCRM, the waiting times are less than 3-4 weeks, and the team focuses its care in a very comfortable and calm environment in all locations.
Comprehensive care
Boasting some of the highest success rates in the country, in line with Canadian standards, PCRM's team of fertility specialists is committed to effective results.
PCRM provides patient-first care to support each patient’s unique journey toward their ideal family, whatever that may look like.
Fertility treatments can be an emotional journey, and PCRM aims to support its patients through various avenues, including psychologist seminars and support groups. Psychologist support is often helpful for patients undergoing difficulties with conception or when considering donor sperm or donor eggs.
This includes tips on how to have conversations with family and how to navigate infertility around the holidays.
In a bid to combat the challenges faced by over 15% of patients within reproductive age, PCRM provides an array of fertility treatments and services. Utilizing the latest in diagnostic equipment and medical technology, its fertility laboratories offer a range of treatments designed for specific reproductive needs.
PCRM specializes in various fertility treatments: Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), egg freezing, and Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT). The clinics also facilitate third-party donor sperm and eggs, supporting diverse groups, including LGBTQIA+ families.
Additionally, it provides Microsurgical Sperm Retrieval (Micro-TESE) for male infertility, sperm freezing, and a dedicated Cancer Fertility Preservation program. PCRM's comprehensive approach caters to individual needs, ensuring personalized care for each patient's journey towards parenthood.
