Review is negative with poor IVF clinic staff experience. Staff communication was unhelpful. The receptionist was rude.

Awful. In every conceivable way. Being a patient at Shady Grove Fertility was—and I mean this with every fiber of my being—the absolute worst experience of my life. 0/10

Is it legal to have to sign a form that forfeits your right to file a reimbursement claim to your insurance company? Looking for more information, as I’ve been unable to reach anyone at the offices.
