THE PALM BEACH FERTILITY CENTER
Though the PBFC is aptly named for its location. PALM means: Symbol of Victory/Triumph
That is definitely the take-away when reading this review and being their patient.
Dr. Mark Denker created a state-of-the-art modern medical miracle center & comingled it with warm and fuzzy. This conception (pun intended) should be emulated by every person/place in the forever family field!
After many unsuccessful attempts @ trying to become pregnant as well as becoming foster to adopt parents with the County of Los Angeles (also failed as the kiddos were reunified with bio family members), we decided to try again as we wanted to be in control of our destiny and not do the wait/want.
I am older, it was still a dream to be pregnant. Though we live in Los Angeles, we had heard so much about the Palm Beach Fertility Center that we decided to reach out to them. From the get-go, they were nothing but completely supportive, excited and cheerleading us on. We didn't know if the end result would be IVF with an egg donor and my getting pregnant or a surrogate.
After the initial virtual meet and greet, if you will, they set us up in their portal and gave us very specific plans on what we needed to do (in Los Angeles) in order to even see if I can become pregnant. Though an emotional, physical, financial process, we were very excited as we were in charge and doing something towards our goal. It truly made us smile and gave us hope. After finishing the pre-process, it was determined that the best course of action would be to have a surrogate. On August 15th, 2024, we had a virtual meeting with Dr. Kreiner and @ that juncture, we had things to think over and said we would get back to the PBFC team by Monday, August 19th.
On Monday, August 19th, 2024, our world changed. You've heard of those that are trying IVF and suddenly get pregnant. In our case, we received a call from our FFA (out of the blue) about a pseudo safe surrender. We say pseudo as safe surrenders are a bit different and in this case, the baby born and left to die. The police took the baby to the hospital and the hospital contacted the foster/adopt agency. When the little lad was 7 weeks old, they contacted us and that was August 19th, 2024. To say the least, our lives were turned upside down and inside out. We didn't have 9 months prep time. We were so happy that this little handsome lad was alive and thriving and we wanted to make certain that it continued!!
Though we didn't continue with the Palm Beach Fertility Center, we don't know if our baby boy journey will continue as there are still many variables with this little lad (i.e., looking for bio family members). At this juncture, the PBFC has been so excited and joyous for all of us. When you're ensconced in the infertility world, those working there truly become your friends/family/fans and vice versa. Everyone @ PBFC has been so supportive. As mentioned, we don't (yet) know where this will take us, but we know we have the PBFC to call upon if they do find a bio family member for this little lad. All that is important is his well-being. We can't thank the Palm Beach Fertility Center enough for the amazing experience in our process to get pregnant and their contagious joy that spilled over on us when we shared our update. Eliza, Dr. Kreiner, Diana, Michelle are above and beyond.
If at all possible, wherever someone lives, this is the type of experience that is too important not to be in warm & fuzzy hands. I highly recommend the PBFC as the # 1 option to help us/you start a family! It's not just about the end result but the experience along the way!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
