Dr Schmidt was absolutely incredible. I’m a type-A, note-taking, ask-100-questions-and-still-be-anxious person. He knew that within about 30 seconds of meeting me and quickly made me feel SO at ease. He is upbeat and positive, but knows his business is serious. I never felt uncomfortable talking about a clearly uncomfortable topic. He listened, laughed with me, answered my questions, comforted me, and gave me the attention I was internally begging for. This is a great facility with the kindest people. I’ll refer them to anyone looking for direction, help, or advice.

Had our consult with Dr. Schmidt on Friday. He was very knowledgable about our specific concerns and very optimistic about our success. I am a highly anxious person and definitely felt more at ease after talking with him and felt more optimistic myself. Our consult was Friday and, fortunately, I tested positive the day after. When his nurse called me to discuss and prepare for next steps, I let her know about my result, and she asked if I was seeing my OB or if I wanted them to manage my initial care and perform any testing. My experience with the clinic is very limited due to the circumstances but I have nothing but great things to say with my experience!

Hands down the rudest, nastiest receptionist I have ever experienced. No one answers the phone. The female doctors I experienced was uninterested, uninformative, and my assigned doctor was not even present for my implantation. No care, not personable. In and out. By far the biggest was of time and money. I wouldnt recommend these greedy money focused rude, so called specialist to my worst enemy. The fact that my amazing OBGYN believes in their services is appalling. I’m a long time nurse and was struggling to navigate the process due to their lack of investment. You are a cash cow to that office and nothing more. The worst of them all, secondary to that nasty receptionist, Dr Kennard. Wow.

My partner and I were unfortunately assigned to Dr. Kennard. When starting our infertility journey, we were told after disclosing all medical family history that DNA testing was OPTIONAL. I had previously done DNA testing because of my mother's side, but my partner had had not. My partner disclosed his fathers medical issue which Dr. Kennard insisted he must have DNA testing done, Or we could not start with IUI. This was awful because my partner did not speak with his father and honestly did not want to go through testing and extra cost. After many back and forth emails with Dr. Kennards nurse, me having to get my medical DNA results forwarded explaining they won't help us until they see my chart we finally did IUI. Unfortunately IUI did not work for us so we found ourselves sitting back in front of Dr. Kennard. she comes off as very arrogant and you leave her office feeling awful and sour which does not help the experience. We decided to do our first IVF procedure and was left heartbroken again. For whatever reason, the doctors rotate so my egg retrieval was done by a doctor I've never met before, not Kennard. 3 days later we received a phone call from yet another doctor we don't know stating every one of our embryos died on day 3 after an emergency ICSI Procedure. No other explanation except a nurse will call you tomorrow to set up an appointment with Dr. Kennard. The nurse called the next day and stated Dr. Kennard was busy and could not talk to us for two weeks so no explanation, just sorry about your luck. I call back a few days later and asked for our appointment to be moved up, we're distraught and want to know why all of our embryos just died... alas a big no from the nurse, Dr. Kennard was busy. Fast forward we meet her feeling awful about having to deal with her in person again. We wanted to know why ICSI was not done in first place given my age and history. She blew us off, printed off a piece of paper and said "I have a present for you". It was a Google print out stating ICSI has a 1% chance to cause complications. Soo very smug and seemed to be more concerned about my weight than the fact she couldn't explain why all our Embryos died. We decided to not go back and went to a different clinic. There is more to say but I've written enough.. Also, be sure to keep up on their billing department. We recieved a bill in the mail for almost 2grand that was an "accident"..

Do not bother trying to call thier office, no one will pick up no matter what time of day. I have called multiple times per day for over a week and have yet to speak to anyone. My physician also has tried calling them to no avail. Try leaving your email on the website and hope for the best. Semen analysis takes over a week to get results and costs are completely self-paid. Please go somewhere else for semen analysis, they will get results in one-two days and will charge much less.
