Misleading business practices. I was told I would only need to pay $60 total for a visit, Aetna…read morespecialist fee. Got a bill for $335, because Aetna put it all in my deductible. Obviously Aetna sucks, but I never should have been told it would be a total of $60 for my visit. I should have been told it was a $60 upfront fee, but there may be a further payment required. I called and was told I should have read the entire, long contract I was handed when I arrived for my visit. It said that I was responsible for any additional costs after my insurance provider processed the bill. I *had* read that, and *had* asked the question of "how much will I actually have to pay, worst case scenario" specifically because I had read that and was worried. I was assured $60 would be all I owe. So I signed it. Probably a moment of weakness on my part, shame on me for trusting this practice. I'm now legally on the hook for $330 for a session that only led to "you need an endoscopy", when I was assured by an employee of Digestive Health Associates that I would only owe my deductible of $60. On paper DHA can claim no misleading practices (unless I had thought to record my conversation with the receptionist). So can Aetna. But no party in this supposed "healthcare" industry cared at all about me, and for that, I recommend looking elsewhere for a more ethical & caring practice.

When you start reading reviews for IVF clinics--especially larger ones like Boston IVF--you'll see…read moreeverything from glowing five stars to stories of heartbreak. After going through it myself, I've learned that it's not really about the clinic itself. It's 100% about the team you work with. And if you're lucky enough to work with Dr. Emily Seidler and her incredible team then you've found the gold standard. We had a really difficult start at Boston IVF and came close to switching clinics entirely. The care we first received was impersonal and left us feeling completely lost. At first, we thought we could tolerate that if it got results--but over time, we realized our specific needs, questions, and goals weren't even being considered. The doctor was focused on what they assumed we wanted, rather than actually listening and working with us to maximize our outcomes. And then we met Dr. Seidler--and everything changed. Dr. Seidler is one of those incredibly rare people who is both deeply brilliant and genuinely kind. She doesn't just follow a set protocol--she pays attention. And I mean, really pays attention. When I did my first egg retrieval under a different doctor, we ended up with 7 eggs--and a massive insurance headache. We felt completely failed by the system. Then we met Dr. Seidler. She took the time to understand us--our goals, our history, our insurance limitations--and helped us make smart, thoughtful decisions that were truly in our best interest. Under her care, my next retrieval produced 22 eggs. That wasn't luck--that was her tracking how my body was responding and adjusting the protocol with care and precision. She stayed engaged, curious, and genuinely invested. She noticed things. She remembered things. She made us feel like we actually mattered--not just as patients, but as people. That kind of brilliance and humanity in one person? It's honestly a unicorn-level combo. And then there's Robin and Nikki, the two amazing nurses who make up the rest of this dream team. These women are absolute rocks. IVF is emotional, confusing, and full of logistical twists and turns, and they helped us navigate all of it with so much grace, clarity, and PATIENCE. They fielded every voicemail, email, and question (and yes, I had many!), and always responded with such kindness and patience, like I wasn't being overwhelming--even when I 100% was. Their kindness didn't come from a script--it came from presence. From actual care. And you can feel the difference. Thanks to this team, I felt supported, seen, and in incredibly capable hands at every stage. Their combination of expertise, compassion, and steadiness helped me stay grounded through a process that is anything but predictable. They didn't just guide me through treatment--they held me through it, with so much heart. And now, after three egg retrievals and three embryo transfers, I'm sitting here, 20 weeks pregnant, feeling this little baby kicking (!!) as I type--and the gratitude I feel is hard to put into words. I know I will carry this team's impact with me for the rest of my life. Dr. Seidler, Robin, and Nikki didn't just help us get here--they gave us the gift of feeling truly cared for in the most vulnerable moments. I will never forget what they've done for our family. If you're wondering whether Boston IVF is right for you--my honest advice is this: don't just look at the clinic, look at who you'll be working with. The right team makes all the difference. And with Dr. Seidler and her team, you'll be in the best possible hands. Their care changed everything for us.

I find the front staff to be extremely kind and helpful, the lab has always done a good job with blood draws (and I'm someone who gets that feeling of being in a tunnel typically, and I've done really well with them even while still having trouble at other labs). Dr. Ortiz in particular is caring, takes the time to listen and answer questions, and is very careful and thorough. When some of my results were borderline he sat down with the practice and talked the details over to make sure we were on the right track.
