Contrary to what was expected, the style of physician-patient communication was not found to be associated with patient satisfaction and retention in care. However, patients were highly satisfied and engaged. The actual meaning of a communication that is "patient-centered" in the ART context might be wider, including the couples' need for information, as suggested by qualitative findings.
