The infertility journey is a long and difficult process but Dr. Donesky’s office was so wonderful throughout my entire experience. I felt like they really cared about me and took awesome care of me. What I loved most was that I saw the same staff every time I went in, and I had a ton of appointments. I feel like I was in this office once a week for over a year, and I never had to wait more than a few minutes for my appointments even if I was early or late. I always saw the same receptionist, same sweet person who drew labs, and the same amazing nurse practitioner who did all my procedures and ultrasounds. I only had to go to Chattanooga twice, once for the egg retrieval, and once for the embryo transfer, and it was much more convenient than having to go to Nashville, and the office and staff there were also wonderful. They use a portal for messages and labs and stuff, and they check it and respond really quickly. Even at night or on weekends I honestly think they got back to me in six hours or less every time. They will schedule your next appointment and give you instructions on the portal but if I ever needed to reschedule my appointment, it was no problem. We did try two cycles of IUI before IVF and they were wonderful with us for those as well. IVF was very successful for us thanks to The Fertility Center, but it was still a very stressful process, and I can’t thank all the staff at this office enough for being wonderful during a challenging life experience. I would recommend this fertility clinic to anyone, and I would never go anywhere else if I need to do IVF again. Edit: I also felt that the prices for IVF were more affordable here than I’ve heard of elsewhere. We paid for a package that included up to three egg retrievals and three embryo transfers in order to get pregnant once, and that package deal was awesome. It was still a really good price even though we only needed one cycle. We made a last minute decision change in regard to making embryos and they really worked with us financially and I felt like they were extremely fair. I think it is Shirley in Chattanooga who handles the finances, and I felt like she worked really hard to help patients as much as she could.

What fertility treatments and services does Fertility Center offer? expand_more

Fertility Center provides a comprehensive suite of assisted‑reproduction and hormone‑balance services. Core fertility treatments include in‑vitro fertilization (IVF) with options such as ICSI, intrauterine insemination (IUI), and pre‑implantation genetic testing (PGT‑A). The clinic also offers IVF with donor eggs, IVF/IUI with donor sperm, and an in‑house egg donor program that follows FDA and ASRM guidelines. Additional services encompass egg, embryo, and sperm cryopreservation, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for women, testosterone replacement for men, and tubal reversal surgery. Patients can access fertility counseling, acupuncture referrals, and a financial‑consultation program that includes an IVF Refund Program and low‑interest financing options. All procedures are performed at the state‑of‑the‑art embryology lab in Chattanooga, with the Knoxville office equipped for on‑site testing and sample collection.

Does Fertility Center offer egg donation for IVF treatment? expand_more

Yes, Fertility Center runs an in‑house egg donor program that complies with FDA regulations and ASRM recommendations. Prospective donors are screened for age (21‑33 years), health, BMI, and lifestyle factors, and they undergo a thorough medical, psychological, and laboratory evaluation before being approved. Once accepted, donors receive compensation per cycle and may participate in up to six cycles. Recipient couples can select from a confidential donor database, and all donor‑egg IVF cycles are coordinated by the clinic’s reproductive endocrinologists and embryology team. The program includes mandatory counseling for recipients, and the clinic reports high pregnancy rates for donor‑egg cycles, reflecting the quality of the donor pool and the clinic’s advanced IVF laboratory protocols.

Who are the fertility doctors and specialists at Fertility Center? expand_more

Fertility Center’s reproductive team is led by three board‑certified reproductive endocrinologists. Dr. Joseph S. Bird Jr., MD, is a fertility specialist who completed a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility and now splits his time between the Chattanooga and Knoxville clinics. Dr. Barry W. Donesky, MD, also holds a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology, graduated from Loma Linda University, and serves as the clinic’s medical director, overseeing both locations. Dr. Joseph S. Bird III, MD, joined the practice after his residency in obstetrics and gynecology and now assists patients with IVF, hormone therapy, and personalized treatment plans. In addition to the physicians, the clinic employs a dedicated embryology team—including senior embryologists and an embryology lab manager—along with fertility nurses, counselors, and financial consultants who support patients throughout every step of their assisted reproduction journey.

What is the history and background of Fertility Center? expand_more
