Methodology

How Atlas comparisons work

Provider comparisons use source completeness, location clarity, correction access, state/metro context, Google/FertilityIQ ratings, and CDC ART context where matched.

What we measure

Public source coverage, location clarity, service relevance, metro context, correction access, and attributed rating context.

CDC ART context

CDC outcomes appear as clinic-level context with reporting year, cycles, and SART membership when matched.

Provider response

Every profile includes a correction or claim path before profile changes are made.

Display gate

A rating can display only when source URL, rating value, review count, and as-of date are present.

Rating display gates

When source context can display

Google rating context must include source URL, rating value, review count, and source accessed date.

FertilityIQ scorecards must include source URL, score, review count, source date, and dimension rows when available.

CDC ART context must include ClinicID, reporting year, source URL, source date, cycles, and match confidence.

Every provider profile keeps a correction path for outdated facts, source mismatches, or attribution concerns.

Methodology

How provider information is checked

The Atlas joins public provider facts with Google, FertilityIQ, CDC ART, SART membership, and professional-source data where the source match is strong enough to show.

Last checked 2026-06-02.

Ratings display only with source URL, score, count, and as-of date.

CDC ART outcomes display separately from review ratings because case mix and patient history matter.

SART membership is shown from CDC clinic profile data when matched.

Corrections route through the profile form before public facts change.
