SHADY BILLING- FRAUD AND SURPRISE BILLING This review is for…read moretheir billing department. They repeatedly attempted surprise billing and seeing other people's review, I'm not alone. For me it was a total of $1721 of extra, fraudulent charges. They also do insurance fraud- I paid for an IVF transfer which was an all inclusive bundled fee that was self pay because it was known my insurance would not cover. They still submitted to my insurance and did it in a way so that they made money from this encounter. This is illegal. I am a physician so thankfully I understand what does and does not constitute fair billing practices and can advocate for myself. I worry that others who are less aware can be taken advantage of. If you don't want to learn about surprise billing and insurance fraud, THEN DONT GO HERE. I had seen other peoples reviews before starting here and wish I had taken their warnings seriously. I ultimately had to go through the better business bureau to have this resolved.

I am extremely disappointed and frustrated. On two separate occasions, my husband arrived with a…read moresemen sample for analysis, and reception completely forgot to check him in. If he would not have spoken up, would they let him sit forever? This is a time-sensitive, deeply personal medical matter, and their negligence is unacceptable. The reception staff clearly do not understand the urgency or sensitivity of fertility testing. The staff is irresponsible and unprofessional. I strongly urge the clinic to train staff properly and implement a system that ensures patients are treated with the seriousness and respect they deserve. Not just their radicicolous message check in!

I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Dr. Dimattina has been on top of fertility research and…read moretrends since its early days. He follows the research on what is working, and does NOT take undue risks. That means you may need to be on a slower path than your anxiousness would like, but he is making measured decisions to ensure success. This may mean some out patient procedures to prepare your body, and the like. I have a beautiful, miracle baby who is now not a baby anymore at all. We have had challenges along the way, in our case some that are very rare and unexpected, and I am always met with a compasssionate phone call from Dr. D and support from his caring team. I hear of experiences / methods from other fertility practices (in the area and in other locations) and often my response is, Dr. D would never do that! Because I know his focus is on low risk, high results. His goal is a healthy baby. He's the best.

And I was right, as soon as I met Dr. DiMattina, I knew he was my doctor! He is very experienced, professional, kind, straight forward, he doesn't waste your time, tells you exactly what he can do for you and what he can not and you know what.. if you follow his advice he makes it happen! A year later, I am pregnant now with our miracle baby boy and we couldn't be more grateful! His staff both in the Arlington but especially in the Bethesda office where I went for my monitoring visits is amazing! They are all very kind, caring and professional. I always felt well taken care of and in good hands, especially Jana, my monitoring nurse in the Bethesda office is a true angel! She was always very encouraging and kind, made my visits there very pleasant, positive and fun! And you need this kind of energy and trust when you walk this journey! I would 100% recommend Dominion Fertility to anyone walking this road, go straight to them, don't waste your time and money with other clinics, they are the state of the art fertility clinic in the capital area!

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with VCRM. From the very beginning, I felt…read moresupported, cared for, and truly seen during such an emotional journey. After dealing with infertility for over 7 years, I truly never thought I would be able to conceive. Dr. Fady Sharara changed my life for the better--he gave me hope when I felt like there was none, and I will forever be grateful for that. His expertise, compassion, and dedication made all the difference for me. I'm so thankful for the protocol he created that worked for my situation, and I genuinely hope he can continue to help others who are just like me find their own success and happiness. A huge thank you to his wonderful nurses, Jill and Jessica, who were always there with kindness, patience, and reassurance whenever I needed it most. They made such a difference in my experience. I also want to recognize Maggie and Trisha at the front desk. No matter what kind of day I was having, they always greeted me with warmth and a smile, making me feel welcome and cared for. This journey isn't always easy, but having a team like this behind you makes all the difference. I'm beyond grateful for everyone at VCRM for their support and dedication, and I'm so excited for this new chapter ahead.

After the consultation with him and interacting with the staff, my husband and I trusted him to help us on our fertility journey. Dr. Sharara is very knowledgeable and an expert in the field, which made me feel comfortable and confident in putting our trust in him. I appreciated that he did a very thorough and comprehensive diagnostic work up to figure out the best treatment plan. As someone who is also in the healthcare field, I very much appreciate having more data. The nurses (Ava and Jessica), billing coordinator (Trish), and other staff (Maggie) were also wonderful. Compared to the brief experience that I had with a large fertility clinic, VCRM felt like a white glove service. I graduated this week from the clinic at eight and a half weeks pregnant and am incredibly grateful to Dr. Sharara and the entire VCRM team for their guidance, care, and support. I know that I'm very lucky to have only had to do one round of IVF and for the first transfer to be successful. Dr. Sharara gave me agency to decide when to start IVF (I personally didn't want to spend much time doing IUI) and was supportive of all my decisions as long as they were medically sound. I highly recommend Dr. Sharara and the entire VCRM staff!

MAMAS is an out-of-network practice for many, and I wish there were more guidance offered about how to navigate the insurance hurdles.

I asked a lot of questions in person as well, and I didn't receive some key information about gap exceptions that would have made the process less stressful. As expected, I received only a small reimbursement from my insurer, and it took several months of emails and calls for MAMAS to realize they had received the check from my insurer and forward it to me.
