  • warning
    1. Inconsistent communication from staff
    Numerous reviews express frustration regarding the clinic's non-medical staff, indicating issues with disorganized communication and responsiveness. Patients recount experiences of unanswered emails, delayed responses, and a feeling of being treated as just a number rather than as individuals undergoing a sensitive treatment process.

  • warning
    3. Financial transparency issues
    Several reviews mention concerns about upfront payments and financial policies, with some patients unhappy about unexpected costs. This has led to feelings of being financially pressured during treatment, which can be disheartening for those already facing fertility challenges.
  • warning

I am speaking with Susan. I updated my survey because of contact issues. But I have spoken to Susan and she reassured me of prices and procedures. I’m waiting to see if my insurance covers anything.
