Thorough, responsive and kind! Love the ambiance. Also, they are on time with their appointments and have not had to wait for longer than 15 minutes. Wonderful staff and very personalized medical practice. Thank you so much read more

Disappointing service to date. The doctors are wonderful and personable, but from an admin and support standpoint the service is not good. Lots of delays and non-responsiveness in scheduling, repeated problems with simple drop offs at the front desk. When your insurance company is more on the ball and tells you everything is approved and ready and you still wait weeks on your doctors office to give you the same info, you know something is off. read more

Again, the communication cannot even be measured because there is none. All we want to do is transfer our embryos to another clinic. Our new clinic, my wife, myself, and our insurance company have tried to reach out and nothing. Do you all have a legal team we can contact? read more

Infertility is hard. Arms made our journey of uncertainty an experience worth writing about. We received unparalleled care as they strived to overachieve in every aspect of our experience! Dr. Walmer's personalized care and treatment plan was precisely executed and well educated. He takes a vested interest in us as human beings.. I left appointments feeling heard and hopeful. Overall, Dr. Walmer provided the best experience I've had with a physician in my life!! ARMS is your MUST-GO-TO choice to make your dreams of parenthood a reality! read more

After our initial consultation in January of 2019, we are so impressed with ARMS. Talking to Dr. Walmer was like sitting down with a friend of the family. He put us completely at ease with his demeanor, the manner in which he delivered complicated information, and his understanding of the emotional decisions we are currently facing. The staff was both professional and warm. The comforting accessibility of the doctors and the staff was outlined for us thoroughly, making us feel like we wouldn't be alone in any step of our treatment. We were in search of a specific 'feel' in choosing a fertility clinic, and though we had been warned that all IVF clinics might be coldly scientific and transactional, we found quite the opposite at Atlantic and certainly felt compassionately embraced and safe. Update (April): We are now in the middle of our IVF process (working with Dr. Walmer) and have had many interactions with people who work at ARMS- from the nurses who draw blood, to teaching nurses, to embryologists and nurse anesthetists. EVERYONE has been amazingly open, kind, and nurturing. There is an incredible accessibility to our doctor and the nurses and their responses to questions seem almost immediate (24/7). I continue to be so grateful that this is where we landed. This is such a personal and vulnerable process and I can't imagine we could have found a more trustworthy or loving group. read more

We finally got our miracle baby after a miscarriage and 3 rounds of IVF! I can't thank Dr. Copland and the staff enough.

Finding the right fertility clinic for you is a bit like dating, you have to find the right fit for you. Atlantic Reproductive Medicine Specialists (ARMS) is a perfectly adequate fertility clinic. Through their care I have two beautiful girls and we can't thank them enough. Indeed, they are quite personable including the hugs and prayers, which can be charming. It is a small clinic and in many ways, this can make things more personable. Should your case be remotely complicated, however, it may be best to find a larger clinic with greater resources. In our quest for a third child I know that ARMS threw everything in their repertoire towards my case, but their medical notes left my new clinic baffled and the issues I had were not duplicated at the new clinic. My new clinic is quite large (and out of state) but large doesn't always correlate to impersonal. ARMS follows HIPAA almost to a fault, meaning all correspondence and data is sent through their portal. I rarely spoke to the nurses and ALL emails go through the portal, which is cumbersome and frustrating when you have a lot of questions (which you will). More than once the nurses at ARMS confused me with another concurrent case, and one time a nurse gave me the wrong dosing instructions. My current clinic over communicates by comparison; they contacted me by phone after every appointment and answered my emails promptly. This worked for me because I love data and being able to discuss my case with them. If you're looking for a clinic, again, ARMS is adequate and all staff are pleasant, however, I strongly recommend doing a lot of research on this and any other clinics you are considering. read more

There are not enough good things to say about this practice. The nurses are wonderful. The staff is comforting and supportive throughout the process. While we were going through treatment, these people became like a family to us as we were seeing them so much. They answered our numerous emails through their patient portal. We have been blessed with three children through IVF and an FET. Dr. Walmer is humble and will not take credit but without them, I wouldn't be where I am today. These Dr's, both Dr. Copeland and Walmer are experts in their field. Dr. Walmer has trained other OBGYN's around the area. I love Atlantic because of the unparalleled personal service that was given to us. I would not go anywhere else. read more

I cannot say enough great things about about this place and Dr. Walmer! I was extremely anxious and they were able to get me in for an appointment the next day. My OBGYN said I had "Endometriosis" an Dr. Walmer explained everything in depth and was very sweet. He kept saying that I am in the drivers seat, and I can go as fast or slow as I want. He is a brilliant man and very willing to help patients. I am so blessed to have him as my Doctor and cannot wait to see the outcome in a few months. With his help I truly think my family will be started! read more

I'm writing from the standpoint of an egg donor. I have donated with two companies before, this being one of them. I absolutely love donating for ARMS! They treated me with the same respect as they would someone who is a recipient and were very friendly. Through the whole process I felt informed and confident that they were taking precautions so that I didn't hyper-stimulate. They do everything including ultrasounds, blood work and the retrieval at their raleigh location so the cycle was very convenient. I would highly suggest atlantic reproductive medicine to anyone who is looking to become an egg donor. read more

Dr. Walmer and his staff at Atlantic Reproductive have been nothing but amazing. From the time we set foot into their office the staff has raved about how much they enjoy their jobs. Dr. Walmer is kind and compassionate and is never quick to force a specific treatment on us. We interviewed another clinic in Raleigh and it felt cold and rushed, like we were just another number. Infertility can be an incredibly stressful situation, we are so happy that we found Atlantic Reproductive. read more

Dr. Copland, as well as the entire staff at Atlantic Reproductive, exhibits the highest standard in fertility care. With such a huge life decision, we could not have asked for a better team. We never left an appointment with unanswered questions. If we needed to get in touch with someone, it was always a same-day, in depth response. I would recommend any of my friends to this practice without hesitation. read more

Words cannot even describe how wonderful this practice is. Going through fertility treatments can be an emotional roller coaster and very daunting at times. I can't imagine going through this process with any other doctor. Dr. Walmer is the most compassionate and caring doctor I have ever dealt with. But not only is he kind and caring, he is very knowledgeable, on top of new technology, and has many years of experience. The IVF lab is amazing as well. I have gone to another fertility clinic in town and the two aren't even comparable. We are finally pregnant after two years of trying and Dr. Walmer was creative in my treatment plan because we could not afford IVF again and it worked! I recommend him and Atlantic Reproductive to anyone seeking treatment for infertility. read more

Drs. Walmer and Copland have an amazing vision of providing compassionate and personalized patient care. As an infertility "frequent flier" (we've been trying to conceive since 2008, and have received care at both UNC and Duke) we have been so very pleased with the care that we've received with Dr. Copland. Just a few enormous upsides: no "learners" (medical students, residents, fellows . . . at this point, how many *more* people need to look at my lady parts?), nurses who care about you and don't treat you like you're an inconvenience, and (best of all), adequate anesthesia with a nurse anesthetist for egg retrieval and diagnostic procedures (hysteroscopy, etc). Conscious sedation just doesn't really do the job, and that's what you get at UNC or Duke. If you're paying out of pocket for infertility care, go here! read more

After years at another local practice, I cannot describe how blessed we feel to have found Dr. Copland and her team. Dr. Copland is an amazing doctor - both brilliant and incredibly caring. We were stunned when we first went in for a consultation and she had already studied our file in depth. She knew it better than we did. She takes great care to understand the uniqueness of each couple's story and to customize treatment based on even the smallest nuances and details. It is clear that both Dr. Copland and Dr. Walmer understand how difficult infertility is and have done everything they can to build their practice around personalized and empathetic care. It is rare to find a medical practice like Atlantic these days. I highly recommend them. read more

I have my precious 2 year old son due to Dr. Walmer. He and Dr. Copeland were so kind and patient. They answered all my questions and addresses any concerns I had. The staff were nice and professional. I knew they all were in our corner wanting our process to be successful. We will likely use their services again to increase our family. read more

I took a look through their website, I noticed no people of colour whatsoever. I inquired about this on their Facebook Messenger which they first read then ignored, so I asked again. They responded with "Asia, we look to match egg donors with our clients who are in need of this service at any given time.", evading the question. I asked then what this has to do with with advertising, when they then ignored again for a month. I then took another look through their website and Facebook page, and dozens of other women were asking the same question as me and were also being ignored. I posted a screenshot of the conversation to those women's responses. This is when the Atlantic Reproductive Medicine Specialists decided to respond to me. They then said as a quoted: "Asia, this is a targeted egg donor campaign aimed at serving a need we currently have." What this means is that they were only advertising White women because that's the kind of business they have or want. They want White women to donate eggs. They then blocked me so I could no longer respond. So now I will make everyone aware of the kind of business they run. This is a prime example of discrimination and it's unfortunate that this business is running things this way. If anyone wants a full-account screenshot of the conversation as proof, please contact me further information. I would not advise doing business here if you're a minority, based off of what they told me, they do not want your business. read more

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Walmer and Dr. Copland and their staff at Atlantic Reproductive Medicine. We met with Dr. Walmer back in 2012 and after 2 years of consults with Dr. Walmer and getting second opinions, we finally were given our miracle and our daughter was born on 11-14-2014. My husband and I struggled with infertility for about a year before we met Dr. Walmer. Dr. Walmer was always very honest with us about our choices and our chances to conceive. After several failed IUIs we finally began to consider donor egg IVF. We thought about trying IVF with my own eggs but decided not to take any chances of having a failed IVF attempt. Soon with Dr.Walmer's advice we agreed to try donor egg IVF. We went out and researched very good doctors and were given opinions by two doctors in North Carolina and one in Pennsylvania. After a very careful evaluation, my husband and I felt that staying with Dr. Walmer was the right decision for us. Dr. Walmer was always honest and his expertise is just amazing. Dr. Walmer, Dr. Copland, and their staff were with us every step of the way from discussing financing options, to helping us pick a donor, and understanding each step that we were taking in the donor egg IVF process. We were terrified of the procedure not working since we had experience so many failed IUIs. On February 17, 2014 we went in for our procedure and Dr. Walmer transferred a five day blastocyst. On February 24, 2014 I took a home pregnancy test that confirmed I was pregnant. From there on we have been in the most marvelous dream. Our daughter has been the best and most incredible gift we could have ever received. We know without Dr. Walmer, Dr. Copland, and their staff that we would not have our daughter today. For that we will always be indebted to them. At Atlantic Reproductive be prepared to receive the best treatment and to be treated as if you are their only patient because you as a patient matter. The infertility road is very hard. There is no guarantee that you will have a precious baby, but in situations like these it's better to have the best and not settle. Dr. Walmer, Dr. Copland, and their staff are the best because they are honest and value you as a patient. Sincerely, TA read more

I am a fairly new patient of Dr. Walmer and Atlantic Reproductive. My husband and I are already in love with them! We even have a friend who is already being seen there also. Our first appointment, Dr. Walmer took us into his office and sat with us for almost an hour. He had definitely been looking over our file and knew all about our situation. Ever since then, the patient portal has been great to use. I put my message in through the portal and receive a reply within minutes. We are so happy we found this place and can't wait for what is to come! The nurses and front desk staff are so sweet and helpful. We are so excited! read more
