Valerie doesn't just do acupuncture, she digs deeper into all aspects of your lifestyle and uses a holistic approach. She is calming and very knowledgeable about her practice.

I'd recommend her and do recommend her to anyone who might be looking for natural alternatives on their fertility journey.

Unfortunately, I decided to go back to try again. This time around things have changed. They went to a HORRIBLE communication service that is all texting and you can't get a human on the phone for your life. Fast forward. I needed a procedure prior to moving forward with IUI again. Dr. Taylor/Karch wanted to get me in as soon as possible due to timing. I was NOT communicated with timely, so I lost a whole cycle and had to wait 30 days to move forward. I was sent an email with a date and time to show up also told not to eat and drink or take aspirin before the surgery. No specific timing was mentioned. Fast forward to 23.5 hours prior to the procedure I get a notification from Prelude(the trash app they REQUIRE you to communicate through). First telling me that I should not take aspirin 7 days prior and stop taking a GLP-1 10 days prior. How is this proper communication? This is LIFE OR DEATH information that was NOT PROVIDED TIMELY. I also reached out 2 weeks ago to make sure I was financially prepared for this procedure. They tell me one amount 2 weeks ago and then increase the total by $50 more dollars (totaling $1165). Again within 24 hours of my procedure the app messages me that I need to contact my insurance provider and confirm my total. Again last minute they tell me my anesthesia and room are NOT COVERED because their anesthesiologist are third party and don't accept insurance. If I had known this I would have requested the procedure be done through a covered facility and anesthesiologist. Make this make sense. This practice is horrible. I will be sure to share this on all of the review sites possible. I am unsure what has happened to this practice, but it has really gone down hill in patient communication, trust and compassion

I was blessed to be Dr. Maxson's patient and have two children through IVF. I was Dr. Gualtieri's…read morepatient for almost two and a half years. I feel like I know him better than most patients since I've seen him multiple times for pain in the right side of my uterus. During my initial consultation, he agreed to help me with laparoscopic surgery if needed. While a patient here, I was treated for endometritis, underwent a vaginal culture, and then subsequently got diagnosed with Ebstein- Barr Virus (EBV). I have been ill now for sixteen months, with my Early Antigen level always positive, and my IGG nuclear and IGM levels consistently rising. Approximately a year ago, I asked to be seen for the consistent pain I was having. I also asked to be signed off on so I could see another provider here, as I felt I wasn't being taken seriously. For about two months, my portal questions were never answered. High monocyte levels are associated with cancer and autoimmune diseases and can be caused by infections such as endometriosis. A laparoscopy can lower monocyte counts. Due to these factors, surgery sounded like a great option. During my consultation, Dr. Gualtieri was standoffish and primarily glared at me. He stated he doesn't feel comfortable performing a laparoscopy, since he is out of practice. He would not evaluate me or order me an ultrasound. As I replied kindly to a nurse while leaving, I noticed Dr. Gualtieri smirked. My heart sank, and I wasn't sure if I could ever bring myself to return. Due to being ignored and this visit, I wrote a certified letter which Dr. Gualtieri responded to a month later. Since my last visit, Dr. Gualtieri called me claiming he wasn't angry with me, only himself for not being able to help me. He promised to ask his colleagues whom they would recommend for laparoscopic surgery, but he never did. In addition, he agreed to let me see another practitioner here but never followed through. Justine recently called me to follow up and asked me to remind Dr. Gualtieri during my next appointment for referrals. I selected to reschedule my appointment for Wednesday, April 10th at 2:30 PM through the online link emailed to me. I rescheduled via the online link on Monday April 7th, at 5:50AM. My request was successfully submitted at 5:52 AM, yet I never received a return call. When I called back, Donna informed me she couldn't reschedule me. Each time I called, I was informed Heather was in a meeting and would return my calls. She never did. Approximately a week later, I received a letter from Dr. Gualtieri stating that he and his partners would not be providing me with IVF care, signed by everyone. He never gave a reason for dismissing me; however, I know the decision can't be based on cancellations since I've always cancelled at least forty-eight hours in advance. I took these pictures as proof. Dr. Gualtieri went from being kind and helpful to indifferent. I began to realize his demeanor was inconsistent, and I never knew what to expect. When I began to be treated disrespectfully, I remembered the times he seemed so caring and thought things would change. Furthermore, I trusted him and went through a lot here. I'm close to the staff, as I've known everyone here for the past seventeen years. For these reasons, although I was treated inappropriately I didn't want to come forward. Now, I have nothing left to lose as Dr. Gualtieri shunned me from the entire practice. I previously asked to speak with a manager, but I was only given the option to speak with Lisa at the front desk. Mr. Windham and Ms. Buzzell are only available to speak with patients after they are terminated. Then, they will not meet with patients to discuss problems since they are no longer part of the practice. They disregard patients and protect the doctors here, no matter the circumstances. It would have been kind of them to speak with me before everything escalated. They do not value patients, even if they have been loyal and truthful for seventeen years. I tried my best to build the same relationship I had with Dr. Maxson, which was based on mutual trust and respect. He showed me by example that I deserve a forthright, understanding, and considerate doctor. I've always planned to have another baby, yet this is impossible if I remain ill. Dr. Gualtieri consistently told me he wanted to help me with IVF, yet he never attempted to refer me to someone who could potentially help me get better and to reach out to his colleagues for advice. Instead, after being his patient for all this time, he gave up on me. It's ironic that Dr. Gualtieri dropped me now that I'm ill, as my main concern is having a future with the family I already have. My experience here has been gut-wrenching, and I don't want my story to become someone else's. In my opinion, Dr. Gualtieri does not follow the standard of care physicians here are supposed to abide by.

I may have created a "Yelp" account just to post this review, because I think the overall rating is…read morefar lower than it should be, and I'd like to share how things may have changed since the 2023 ratings. I agree with Brittany J. from last year, my experience has been very good. The staff at the Jupiter location are wonderful and very attentive (excellent quality of care) and while the process can be extremely overwhelming from a logisitcs and emotional standpoint, they were with me every step of the way, always prompt with responses through the virtual portal (can be a bit of a challenge to get hold of via telephone, I'll admit that) and from the finances aspect, they are very upfront with expected costs, try to run everything they can through insurance, and predict a higher cost for the treatment than it actually ends up being. The office space itself is nice with coffee, snacks, nice lighting, good seating (and this is true of the Margate office as well). I was recommended this clinic by my OBGYN, and I'm happy I listened.

If you're struggling with fertility, this is NOT the place to seek care or compassion. My…read moreexperience with this clinic was not only disappointing but deeply upsetting. After dealing with the emotional difficulty of trying to conceive, I called to schedule an appointment only to be met with rudeness and condescension from the receptionist Deborah. Instead of offering the basic kindness and understanding you would expect from a fertility clinic, I was spoken to in a demeaning, dismissive, and unprofessional manner. Deborah was also ALL ABOUT THE MONEY and mentioned I'd have to first fill out a form will all of my personal information to then be accepted as a patient. Hoping this was just an individual mistake, I called back to speak with the office manager. To my shock, she doubled down, refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing, and even mocked me instead of addressing the issue. No apology, no accountability, just pure disregard for the emotional toll that comes with infertility. A fertility clinic should be a place of support and empathy, not humiliation and hostility. If this is how they treat people before they even walk through the door, I can only imagine the cold, impersonal experience patients receive in their actual care. If you value respect, compassion, and professionalism, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere.

I came to Dr. Zakes as a last resort. I was in desperate need of help after being scolded by…read morephysicians for not wanting Birth control and needing a blood transfusion from how long and heavy my periods were - I needed help. I needed another way. Birth control and metformin can't be it! (they wouldn't even give me metformin unless I wanted to get pregnant) I have been struggling with PCOS and have taken birth control on/off all of my adult life. But the side effects caught up and wreaked havoc on my body. On the very long journey of seeking hormonal balance, I eventually found OvaHealth. It does appear that her main focus now is primarily fertility, male & female. So not sure about other services people have written about past reviews. I personally am not looking to get pregnant. But if you are or if you want to try something that is not going to suppress your body's natural function but help support your body naturally - definitely check it out. For the first time in over 6 years, I have had 3-4 regular cycles. It will not go past 7 days! Never thought I would be happy to get periods, but thanks to Dr. Zakes' help, I am. Dr. Zakes is knowledgeable but more importantly, she's passionate. It is very clear that she loves what she does and that it's her calling. Anything vagina - talk to her.
