CONVENIENTLY LOCATED FOR OUT-OF-COUNTRY COUPLES

For out-of-town couples and patients travelling to LifeQuest, we are conveniently located in downtown Toronto, the heart of Canada’s most exciting metropolitan city. Toronto is easily accessible by plane, train or car.

Of course, fertility treatment is your first priority while you are here. But, there are lots of things to see and do when you are not at the clinic. From restaurants, theatres, museums and art galleries, to parks, gardens, and historical sites, Toronto is safe, clean, and has much to offer.  For more information about the local area, please click here www.downtownyonge.com.

CURRENCY EXCHANGE

In considering the LifeQuest Centre and travelling to Toronto for your care, remember to consider currency exchange.  Right now, the exchange rate for the U.S. dollar in Canada is (click here FOR A CURRENCY CONVERSION SITE). When it comes to goods and services such as hotels and meals, your U.S. dollar buys more in Canada. In terms of your medical care, the cost of your infertility treatment in Canada is less than the same high quality services would cost in the United States.
