For the fourth consecutive year, Statista and Newsweek have partnered to identify the top fertility clinics in the US, this year awarding 140 fertility clinics. Only facilities defined as a fertility clinic and assisted reproductive technologies (ART) provider by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were considered in the scope of this project. To create a ranking, a score was calculated for each clinic. The total score is based on four data sources: Quality metrics, reputation, accreditations and patient satisfaction.
1. Quality Metrics: Assisted Reproductive Technology metrics with a focus on indicators relevant to fertility clinics published by CDC were analyzed. Data from the 2022 cycle were used because they represent the most recent fully reported and quality-assured dataset available from the CDC at the time of analysis. The Quality metrics contribute 40% towards the overall score.
2. Nationwide online survey: During the survey period from January to February 2026, Newsweek and Statista invited reproductive endocrinologists, infertility specialists, obstetricians/gynecologists working in and referring patients to fertility clinics, other medical professionals (e.g., registered nurses, laboratory assistants) and fertility clinic administrators/managers working in fertility clinics to participate in the survey. For each recommended fertility clinic, participants were asked to assess the quality of diagnosis of fertility problems, treatment of fertility problems, fertility counselling, accommodation & service, overall nurse staffing. The reputation of the clinic accounts for 40% of the overall score.
3. Accreditations: Accreditation data on fertility clinics provided by The Joint Commission (JCI), College of American Pathologists (CAP), Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) were considered with a combined weight of 15% of the overall score.
4. Patient Satisfaction: Google reviews are included in the scoring model as a proxy of patient satisfaction. It contributes 5% towards the overall score.

Disclaimer:
The rankings are comprised exclusively of clinics that are eligible regarding the scope defined in this methodology document. The ranking does not constitute an absolute quality assessment but solely reflects the results obtained from the methodology outlined herein. A mention in the ranking is a positive recognition based on the applied methodology, which relies on peer recommendations and publicly available data sources at the time of assessment. The ranking is the result of an elaborate process which, due to the interval of data-collection and analysis, is a retrospective reflection of the last calendar year. Events, developments or individual actions (affiliated/associated to the facilities) which occurred before or after the assessed period 01/03/2025-28/02/2026 were not included in the metrics and do not impact its outcome. As such, the results of this ranking should be interpreted strictly within the scope of its methodology and should not be used as the sole source of information for future deliberations.
Moreover, due to the legal restrictions, particularly regarding abortion laws and regulations regarding the legal status of embryos in the United States, metrics involving frozen embryos were methodologically excluded from the analysis. For any legal inquiries concerning applicable regulations on assisted reproduction treatments in your state, please consult the fertility clinics and/or legal counsel directly.

The information provided in this ranking should always be considered in conjunction with other available information about fertility clinics including, where feasible, direct consultations or facility visits. The ranking does not assert or imply any judgment on the quality of clinics that were not included in the evaluation.
