Prior to coming to Emory, I tried to save money by going to MIRACLE Surrogacy in Cancun, Mexico…read more Although, they claimed that their fertility rates were on par with the United States, after 2 failed transfers, I asked them for proof/evidence for their success rates. After they couldn't provide me with anything, I decided to restart the process in the United States. Instead of being blinded by the prospects of having a baby, I decided to research fertility clinics extensively. I decided to go to Emory, since they had the highest success rates and I felt comfortable speaking with the physicians. (I reached out to ACRM, Shady Grove Fertility, Pathways Fertility, and Reproductive Biology Associates too). The other places did not have a good selection of frozen embryos to choose from and they tried to charge extra money for using 3rd party organization donor eggs. Also, a few were very pushy and tried to offer unnecessary services that I knew were not recommended based on YouTube videos I watched online. Right now, I'm passed the 1st trimester and I want to share my review before the baby comes - and I won't have the time. I wanted to give a HUGE thanks to the Patient SRVS Coordinator Lorraine Smith-Richards, Nurse Clinician Stephanie Soloway, Nurse Laura Frings (very good at keeping me updated by calling and emailing), Dr. Heather Hipp, Dr. Audrey Marsidi (embryo transferor, which was successful on the first try), and Dr. James Toner for making this process possible. I absolutely loved Dr. Toner, since he was very responsive and easy to talk to. I'm really grateful for their team for making the process easy and successful on the first try!

With some agencies it felt like I'm one of endless calls they are getting and with some it felt like the state of mind is " give us your money " and some were even shady. so I hired a consulting company that will help me to choose a reliable agency as trust was my most important priority. They were the one that recommended to contact eggspecting and I knew from my first conversation with Carrie that I want to go forward with her and I never regretted it. All along I had her full attention and patient to any questions or concerns I had. Quick response and simplifying complications I came across. From choosing the perfect donor and going through tests and eventually coming to Mexico for the technical procedure. She helped a lot not just with the must things but also with the extra ( like timing the donor and my arrival for us to have a chance to meet and even chose the coffee shop we will meet :) yes, that detailed ) The crew that eggspecting collaborating here in Mexico is absolutely amazing. The doctors did amazing ( they had it all at " first shot " despite working against the odds ) The labs here are equal or even more than what I've researched in US and so was the hospital that the delivery happened. and in every step eggspecting made sure someone was with me and walks me through it making the whole process as easy and simple as possible. And even now after the birth and after completion of all my payments Carrie is there to assist and guide and spend hours to help and answer anything I need. She's always available! So to sum it up, if I'm going to this again ( and I might do ) i'm not even looking anywhere else. They've earned my trust and respect for life. My dream came true and the credits goes to everyone involved and to Carrie especially. From me and my little girl we wish you all good fortune

When I started looking at fertility clinics I researched multiple, specifically looking at doctors…read moreand their bios. I really wanted a female doctor and found myself gravitating to Dr.Pavna Brahma. When I first found her, she was at RBA and after my first consult, I knew I wanted her to be my doctor. Dr.Brahma is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, kind and informative. I came with a list of questions and she graciously answered all of them and even diagrammed parts that were extra complicated. She never made me feel rushed, or stupid and spent the time that was needed to ensure I was comfortable. I went through my first egg retrieval with her, which netted out to one healthy embryo (after blastocyst and PGS testing). As I was going through my second retrieval, I found out Dr.Brahma had left RBA and I was given a different male doctor (Dr.Toledo). I was saddened to hear the news of her departure and nobody would tell me where she went. Dr.Toledo helped me finish out Dr.Brahmas protocol, which resulted in 4 healthy embryos. I ended up doing two transfers with Dr.Toledo, which unfortunately resulted in two failed transfers. Dr.Toledo was not able to give me good guidance on what went wrong or provide a solid plan going forward, so I went looking for a second opinion. Coincidentally, my OBGYN, recommended Dr.Brahma who I found out was at Shady Grove. I got a copy of medical records and went to Shady Grove to visit Dr.Brahma. When she saw us, she immediately embraced us, and was so welcoming, it felt like seeing an old friend. She glanced through our records and was immediately able to pinpoint areas for improvement. We ended up transferring our remaining embryos to Shady Grove and after my first transfer back with Dr.Brahma, I got pregnant. Unfortunately, it didn't progress beyond 5 weeks because the embryo quality was too low. We continued to work with Dr.Brahma and about 9 months later, I was pregnant again and this time, we made it past 6 weeks, then 8 weeks and eventually graduated from Shady Grove and released to my OBGYN. I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant and I know I wouldn't be here without Dr.Brahma. She was our saving grace. She was always very honest and open with us about our options, supported us throughout and always came to the table with a strong plan. She never let me lose faith and my husband and I firmly believe she is one of the best fertility specialists in the country. We would recommend her to anyone trying to conceive. She has every quality you would want in a doctor: empathetic, smart, well researched, incredible bedside manner, great communicator, thoughtful and thorough. Our journey to parenthood is because of her.

Pains me to leave this review but I would not recommend shady grove. If you're seeking a fertility…read morespecialist, it usually means you're already facing something that comes naturally for many others. It's an incredibly vulnerable and emotional place to be, which is why I was so disappointed with my experience at Shady Grove. My initial consultation was okay, although I didn't feel there was much bedside manner. I was reassured that the doctors were among the best, so I trusted the process. Unfortunately, from that point on, my experience became one frustration after another. I was incorrectly billed because the financial department failed to do its due diligence and check with my insurance d. Then, without any communication or transition, my physician, Dr. Bramha, went on indefinite leave. While she had only been involved in my initial consultation, I was never given a replacement doctor or someone to discuss my care with. Instead, I spent months going through mock cycles and unnecessary appointments with very little explanation. I completed three mock cycles because they couldn't determine the appropriate medication protocol. I would show up for ultrasounds feeling defeated, with no physician available to answer questions, review my progress, or provide guidance. At that point, it felt like I was simply moving through an expensive process without anyone truly overseeing my care. The only consistently positive part of my experience was the kindness shown by the woman who drew my blood and the ultrasound technician. They were compassionate and made an otherwise difficult experience a little easier. What was most frustrating was the lack of transparency. When I asked whether there were any grants or financial assistance programs available, I was immediately told no. After doing my own research, I discovered there were actually several grants available specifically for Shady Grove patients. That felt representative of my overall experience--having to find answers on my own instead of being supported by the clinic that was charging us an arm and a leg for essentially nothing. Fertility treatment is already emotionally, physically, and financially exhausting. Patients deserve clear communication, compassionate care, and honest guidance. Unfortunately, I did not receive that at Shady Grove, and I cannot recommend this practice based on my experience. Additionally, give yourself 6 weeks to get any kind of medical records to pass along.

I mean gave me a full run down of what to expect for pricing cause she was out of network. That's the only downfall - she's out of network! But the quality of care is unmatched. I saw the reviews some said they had bad experiences and some said it was awesome like mine. I will say she takes Medicaid so most of her patience are probably not educated in their health and well being like some of us others. This may cause her to share more information or "instruction" causing an eyebrow raise. At first I was like why is she telling me all this like I'm a child? (Again first impression). Then I took a step back and realized, a lot of women have no clue of their Health or the system and she does! She's the expert so I listened closely. She addressed all my concerns and actually had real reasons and conclusions to some of the issues I did not receive resolution from from previous western doctors.

There is no number to call to speak with finance. It took almost two months to get a simple prior auth with our insurance due to RBA sending incorrect records and delays with resending. Then, we needed a new prior authorization sent which again was declined due to missing information. We lost multiple months and cycles. Their clinical team is rude and provides inaccurate information. They schedule for incorrect procedures, or none at all (good luck getting a call back to schedule!) Scheduling simple tests also takes 2 to three weeks. Their app is constantly down but thats the only way to communicate with anyone. Doctors provide completely unrealistic timelines and outcomes.They are not on the same page with anyone on their admin team RBA is also more expensive than others. Go elsewhere if possible.

I wasn't going to write a review because the doctor I saw, she was amazing and I loved her…read more Unfortunately, you only see the Dr once or twice throughout the whole process for an egg retrieval and I have never had a worse experience. When I requested to speak to someone about it numerous times I was completely blown off except by the Dr who said she would express my concerns. There were issues with misrepresentation of services, surprise billing, breaking hippa by an anesthesiologist who confused me with another patient and then realized her mistake and shared some of that patients history with me as an explanation further breaking hippa. There were repeated communication failures that have resulted in financial harm, added stress and compromised medical care. When my specialist called the answering service needing to speak to my Dr the message was never sent to her, they were never directed to a Dr on call and no one spoke with him. Drs don't usually call on the weekend unless there is a serious concern which there was and had my Dr been made aware there is no doubt in my mind she would have reached out. Additional issues include: * A $280 charge for laboratory tests that were never drawn that I had to spend time and energy getting them to remove because I didn't have them done there. I uploaded results from my dr after she has them done and it only cost me about $30 * A promised billing call that never occurred * Constant incorrect pricing - they documented the FDA exam pricing in an email and then tried to overcharge me after and I had to show their staff the email so they would match it While individual staff members have been courteous, the administrative and billing practices reflect poor coordination, lack of transparency, and disregard for patient safety. I will finish the review when I have more time but if you are looking for a fertility clinic I cannot recommend them. They told me one cost and charged me another, ended up costing much more then I was told I'd spend, we're not good about communicating, didn't provide all my records when requested and the other Dr I dealt with for my removal, seemed like he had a bad bedside manner and seemed rushed and uncaring.
