    This is a money making factory no care or compassion for the clients all about money. They…read moreroutinely missed my windows for needing things done and set me back multiple times due to internal communication issues. The front desk lectured me for not being 15 minutes early even though this appointment was scheduled as an emergency appointment 2 hours prior. Dr. Cross is does not explain anything and seems to not understand or care about what clients are going through during this time the compassion from her is zero. if you move forward with them, even if you ask to speak with finance multiple times, you'll be assured everything is fine then shocker it's not. they messed up our billing and put us as self pay even though finance assured us we have great insurance. the bill from them to me is almost 3,000$ and I never recieved any diagnosis or treatment. they also will not send me my results so that I can get a new doctor. This place needs to be shut down they are not complying with normal medical ethics.

    Words can't even do justice to express my gratitude to Dr Martini and the CCRM Rockville team. She…read morewas always attentive, caring, and cheered me on. She didn't let another clinic's faults impact her careful approach to treatment. And as she'd always tell me, "we are accounting for so many variables". After 5 traumatic cycles with another clinic who didn't care to make changes, Dr Martini approached my treatment with purpose and care and it was successful! She may be younger than the other doctor at my other clinic, but she is a powerhouse. I've referred so many people to her and will do so forever. I just can't believe there are doctors out there who don't care as much as she does. Thank you Dr Martini and CCRM, from the bottom of my heart.

    We went to Dr. Sharara after having multiple failures with a different clinic. Not only did he…read moretreat us with absolute care and compassion, but he was extremely thorough in exploring the causes of our infertility and treating the underlying conditions that could be impacting us. I am so grateful to Dr. Sharara. He was very honest and straightforward with us, and I really appreciated that. Our other clinic told us we had unexplained infertility, but Dr. Sharara actually did the investigative work to see what was going on. Through changes in lifestyle and medication, we were able to get five embryos! I cannot tell you how happy I am to have a chance at another pregnancy due to Dr. Sharara's diligence and care.

    From the very first day I met Dr. Fady Sharara, I felt warmly welcomed. He greeted me with a big…read moresmile, made me feel comfortable, and most importantly, made me feel heard. Fertility is not an easy topic to talk about, and going through fertility treatment can be emotionally challenging. From the beginning, he made me feel that I was in safe hands. I will never forget when he told me, "I'll do everything I can to help you become parents." Those words meant so much to me and gave me so much hope and happiness. Dr. Sharara is truly a master in his field, and I feel incredibly lucky that he was my first fertility doctor. I have heard from other people who started their fertility journey with different doctors and eventually changed doctors because they didn't feel comfortable with the way they were treated or didn't feel sufficiently supported. I am very grateful that I never had that experience. From the beginning, I felt respected, listened to, and cared for. Of course, medical knowledge and treatment are extremely important, but I personally believe that the human side matters just as much during a fertility journey. When you feel safe, supported, and confident in your doctor and your team, it can make such a difference emotionally. Constant worry and overthinking can make an already difficult journey even harder. Having a doctor who gives you hope and makes you feel that you are in good hands is priceless. Throughout my IVF journey, Dr. Sharara was always professional and supportive. He gave me recommendations about lifestyle, supplements, and different ways to improve my chances. We went through our first IVF cycle, and because I had diminished ovarian reserve, my body did not produce many eggs. In the end, we were able to have one frozen embryo. We later talked about a second cycle, and Dr. Sharara adjusted my medications and treatment approach to give me better chances. But then something truly amazing happened--I became pregnant naturally! When I shared the news with Dr. Sharara, I could see how genuinely happy he was for me. His nurses and staff were also incredibly happy and supportive. They made me feel like I was not just another patient, but part of a family. What I remember most about my experience is not only the medications, supplements, or medical treatment. It is the kindness, reassurance, and emotional support I received from Dr. Sharara and his entire team. During fertility treatment, those things matter tremendously. I will always be grateful for the way Dr. Sharara treated me and for the hope and confidence he gave me throughout my journey. I feel very lucky that he was the doctor who guided me through the beginning of this journey. I highly recommend meeting Dr. Sharara if you are going through fertility treatment. His medical expertise is exceptional, but what makes the experience truly special is the way he treats his patients--with kindness, compassion, and genuine care.

    We could not recommend Dr Payson and the care team at CCRM NoVa more highly - we came in for…read morediagnostic testing early on, which led to IVF, and went through 1 egg retrieval and 3 transfer cycles, the last of which was successful and resulted in the birth of our baby girl. Dr Payson is a brilliant and empathetic doctor who was genuinely invested in working through the nuances of our treatment plan at every step to maximize our chances of success, always available to answer questions and talk through data and research studies at our request, and paid close attention to our case throughout (including after we had graduated) to ensure we received excellent care. The nurses are kind, knowledgeable, and responsive - I had a lot of questions, especially after unsuccessful prior cycles, and Jen could not have been more helpful in talking through questions, getting us on the phone with the doctor as frequently as needed, as well as facilitating billing and the administrative side. Mark the phlebotomist is amazing (through many procedures, no one has been as dexterous in navigating my small veins), as are the rest of the nurses and staff. We would not have a baby without the excellent, compassionate, and results-oriented team at CCRM. We have many friends who have gone through IVF at other clinics, and we can confidently say this is the best fertility clinic and Dr Payson is the best fertility doctor in the DMV area.

CCRM NoVa has truly skilled doctors, but its operations team only adds to everything a woman loses in this already-trying process. It's the day after Thanksgiving, and I'm in a waiting room with 25 other women. Waiting. For hours. We each had an appointment time, which was meaningless. We lost this pseudo-holiday to drive here and wait. I'll also note, unlike any other fertility clinic I've been to, CCRM NoVa allows children in the waiting room, which to some is another marker of insensitivity. Expect competent doctors, but also expect this practice to make your already stressful experience more stressful and frustrating.

    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!

My husband and I tried to conceive for six years before initially seeking treatment at another provider in the area. After a year of being treated like a number in a baby factory at the big box fertility clinic, we decided to take a break. We were defeated, discouraged, and unsure whether we would continue in our attempts to have a child. The next year a good family friend who is also an out of state OBGYN suggested Dr Moragianni. We were able to schedule with her fairly quickly and our consultation left us feeling a renewed sense of hope! She actually listened to everything we had to say and explained things to us that we didn't know even after a year of treatment elsewhere. After our first round of bloodwork to get starred, Dr Moragianni identified an irregularity with my thyroid that had been grossly overlooked at the other clinic. She continued to monitor and work with us as I sorted out the thyroid issue with an endocrinologist. During this time we found that my ovaries were often not visible making it nearly impossible to determine egg count and quality. Based on the examination experience, I believe this was also the case at the previous clinic, only they blindly treated me without explaining the situation and therefore the treatment was continuously unsuccessful. Dr Moragianni on the other hand very clearly explained everything, presented us with options, and offered her best advice. She did not encourage us in any way to proceed with a path that was likely to be a dead end. One thing she offered and I was unaware of was egg donation. Ultimately, this made the most sense for our situation, and now we have a beautiful baby boy that I carried to full term. Thanks to Dr Moragianni, my underlying health issue was resolved (I had parathyroid surgery), my time and money were not wasted, and I was treated like the top priority patient at every visit! THANK YOU for helping us complete our family!!

As a Black woman- finding a Black GYN who made me feel genuinely cared for meant more to me than I can fully explain. I saw Dr. Okasi and immediately felt comfortable. She's professional, knowledgable, but most importantly patient & thorough. I've also been seen by Brittany Abbate, PA, for my annual this week, and she was phenomenal. She was professional, gentle, attentive and soooo informative on next steps that made the most sense. Lastly I truly appreciate Sami in the front office. I haven't met her in person to get a chance to really tell her this but she is a GEM! she's always quick in communication, emails, and text messages for any questions/ anything appt related. I truly feel like I finally a practice I've been praying for. I highly recommend Women's Wellness MD to anyone looking for compassionate professionals.

I remember telling Dr. Okasi to please use the small speculum before the exam. She nodded yes but said nothing verbally. As soon as the speculum was opened, I let out such a scream! I'm sure people in the waiting room and other parts of the office heard me, especially since this office has walls that don't connect to the ceiling (open concept). At no time did she comfort me, nothing like "breathe. Take a deep breath" or "are you ok? It's almost over". Nothing at all! I truly suspect she used the large speculum. Maybe she didn't like being told what to use. All I know is I've never yelled liked that in any of my previous examinations with other MDs. I was so embarrassed to the point that I apologized after the exam. And I shouldn't have, thinking back. Why did I apologize for pain inflicted upon me? That's why I wanted the smaller speculum! After getting in my car, I said to myself I'm never coming back here. Dr. Okasi's bedside manner was so so poor, to say the least. And the staff is not memorable. Believe what your patients tell you. We know our bodies more than you do. And if something doesn't make sense, then ask us questions for clarification.
