Step 1 – We Provide You with Our Information

Refer your patients to our website. We can provide you with informational brochures to give your patients. If you would like informational brochures, please email info@twesb.com with your clinic’s information as well as how many brochures you would like.

Step 2 – Register Online

Your patient registers online, at no cost, to view the full profiles and photographs of ALL our donors. We can provide website integration so our egg and sperm donor database can be viewed on your clinic’s website for patient comfort and convenience.

Step 3 – We Contact You

Once your patient has worked with our trained, knowledgeable staff to select a donor, they will then complete the contract and payment. We notify you that your patient is moving forward with one of our donors.

Step 4 – Shipment

We arrange for the shipment of the ova and/or sperm. We will coordinate with your clinic to determine a good time for shipment.

Step 5 – We Come to You

For more than 25 years, we’ve taken every step possible to ensure successful pregnancies, including the optimization of the ova thawing process. If a patient is the first at your clinic to use our donor ova, we will send at our expense an embryologist from The World Egg and Sperm Bank to your lab to assist with the first thaw of the ova your patient has selected. Our Embryologist and Scientific Director also are  available to answer any technology or laboratory questions prior to our visit. We want you and your patient to succeed.

Our management team would welcome the opportunity to visit you and answer any questions you may have.
