    I saw Dr. Patel and his staff for years because of chronic stage IV endometriosis and severe infertility. Since I was 17, other doctors had told me to have a hysterectomy. After reaching a point of despair, I researched and found Dr. Patel's office. Unnecessary treatment and misdiagnoses by other doctors and hospitals had left me emotionally and financially drained, so I had learned a great deal about my condition and was not always easy to manage. When I met Dr. Patel, he had the patience, understanding, and expertise to guide and educate me. I truly felt heard and seen because of his excellent bedside manner, and he never dropped the ball. Although dealing with such severe endometriosis was overwhelming, I was amazed by his understanding and professionalism in treating a difficult case like mine. Dr. Patel and Dr. Mark Johnson, who was there at the time, reassured me at every step, even though I had many questions. I went through several rounds of IVF. Despite a success rate below 10%, I had a son in 2017 and twin daughters in 2021! Dreams do come true, and my prayers were answered. I thank God for Dr. Patel and his staff. The staff were caring, attentive, and helpful from beginning to end. Once I was in his care, the stress disappeared, and I truly believe this would not have been possible anywhere else. I cannot thank the AZ Associates staff and Dr. Patel enough. He truly cares about his patients and their families and is an expert in his field. I would never go anywhere else. Thank you, Dr. Patel and staff!

    Make sure you receive confirmation more than once. Margaret "confirmed" a procedure for me, but when I arrived, I was not even in their system. 😒 When I messaged her, she said I had never received confirmation, even though she had sent me a confirmation text directly.

    Dr. Patel is an excellent, collaborative doctor! After some unpleasant experiences with other fertility doctors, his bedside manner was a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much for caring for and helping our family! :)

    Dr. Patel and his team are highly organized and lead the field in professionalism and attention to detail. His greatest strength is his outstanding knowledge and wisdom; before beginning private practice more than 20 years ago, he headed endocrinology at Mayo. He does not sugarcoat things and is very direct. A major benefit is that your embryos remain in-house under the care of his top embryology team. We are now expecting a baby girl using my own eggs at age 45! He prepared us for the journey and kindly helped us through the low points. Honestly, IVF is not for the easily discouraged. It is heartbreaking and physically, financially, and emotionally exhausting. Dr. Patel, your office and your faith gave us the strength to stay focused. Thank you; we will always be grateful for the gift you gave us. 🤗

    Second round of IVF! We have a beautiful baby girl! Thank you, Dr. P!! You are the best!!

    Wonderful staff! They truly calm your nerves and make you laugh. They are very efficient and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Patel and his staff.

    The most caring, life-changing experience—forever grateful! From the moment I entered this fertility clinic, I knew I was in the right place. Every staff member went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Their kindness, compassion, and attention to detail made a potentially stressful process feel supported and manageable at every step. Dr. Lipskind is incredible. He is not only highly knowledgeable in his field, but also has an unmatched bedside manner. He never made me feel rushed. He explained every step in detail, answered all my questions, however small, and ensured I felt informed and empowered in every decision. His calm, thoughtful approach reassured me and made me feel like more than a patient—like someone he genuinely cared about helping. With his expert guidance and the team’s unwavering support, I became pregnant after my first IVF cycle. I followed every recommendation from Dr. Lipskind and firmly believe his thoughtful guidance and careful planning made the difference. Finding this clinic meant everything to me. I will always be grateful that they helped me achieve my dream of parenthood. If you want a fertility clinic that offers respect, compassion, and first-rate medical care, look no further. This team is absolutely trustworthy.

    Choosing CCRM/ACFS and Dr. Patel was the best decision I could have made. Dr. Patel and his wonderful team—Chelsea, Maria, Gayle, and Doreen—helped me conceive my miracle baby. They are an incredible gift to medicine and now feel like family. From our first meeting, Dr. Patel set clear expectations, which I greatly appreciated. He is direct but speaks with kindness and sensitivity. His team is excellent, communicates quickly, and treated me, a frequent questioner, with grace and compassion. The billing team was incredibly responsive. I strongly disagree with negative reviews about them: they were prompt and explained everything quickly and kindly. Every laboratory result came back quickly. The Labcorp team was professional, and even the front-desk staff were always friendly. I did not encounter one rude person. There is truly nothing negative to say. If you need fertility support, I highly recommend Dr. Patel and his team. They will become family, and you may cry when treatment ends because you will no longer see them every week. I love them, and you will too. Make the appointment. You will not regret it.

    I cannot praise or thank the ACFS team enough. We saw Dr. Lipskind for most of our journey and Dr. Reshef for two appointments because of scheduling conflicts; he was also wonderful. The front desk, nursing team, phlebotomists, and billing staff all made this journey special. Reception remembered my name, wished us luck, and shared our sadness when we returned after failed treatment. During fertility treatment you see phlebotomists often, and they were always prepared, cheerful, and friendly. I am a difficult blood draw, but they never made me feel bad. Billing was excellent, especially when I had insurance questions during our initial consultation. As our deductible period neared its end, they quickly answered questions and helped determine our next step. The nursing team had outstanding bedside manner, answered questions thoroughly, and replied quickly through the portal. Dr. Lipskind is among the most thorough, thoughtful, and kind doctors you will meet. He understands infertility patients personally, which makes him especially compassionate. At our first consultation, he identified more possible issues than any doctor had in five years. He promptly prescribed medication for my husband and me, and together we agreed on a plan and timeline. Our first IUI failed, but the second succeeded. Dr. Lipskind always ensured I felt safe and comfortable. After 3 miscarriages, we welcomed their close monitoring of the pregnancy. Even after discharge to obstetric care, when bleeding frightened us and we could not reach our obstetrician, they invited us back for an examination and said we were always welcome if we needed anything. Because of this clinic’s skill, kindness, and knowledge, we have a beautiful son. If we cannot conceive on our own next time, we will return to this team without hesitation. Thank you, ACFS!

    Dr. Reshef and nurse Maggie are amazing! I cannot say enough good things about this clinic and its staff. During this difficult journey, I always felt welcome and comfortable. They answered my questions and remained positive throughout the fertility process. I recommend Dr. Reshef and his staff to anyone experiencing infertility. He is one of the best doctors I have seen in a long time, and this clinic truly cares.

    A very disappointing experience. Interestingly, prices soared after CCRM took over. A rip-off.

    The entire team there is wonderful. Every visit is filled with attentive care. They communicate well, are warm and friendly, and make appointments a pleasant experience. I truly cannot recommend them enough.
    Jul 22, 2025
    I have never felt so comfortable or so heard. Their attention to detail and consistent communication are exemplary! This is a truly wonderful facility. Highly recommended!

    Dr. Patel was highly knowledgeable and treated us with kindness and respect throughout the visit. As this was our first time seeking help, we appreciated his clear explanation of the process and the options available. He was honest and practical, giving us a realistic understanding of what to expect without sugarcoating anything. We left the consultation feeling informed and supported.
    Aug 2, 2025
    Excellent first experience! I felt very comfortable and never rushed. They were efficient and attentive. This was the best care I have received at a clinic in a long time. The clinical staff, medical assistants, and phlebotomist were all professional, helpful, and kind!

    My experience at this clinic has been flawless. Everyone, including the front desk staff, nurses, and doctors, is very helpful and kind. It is reassuring to see familiar faces at every visit. I have visited both the Scottsdale and Gilbert locations; both are very clean and have excellent teams. It is easy to contact my provider’s clinical team with questions, and I always receive prompt answers. Dr. Kummer was very helpful throughout my care, and I highly recommend her and her team.

    I felt violated and robbed!! Dr. Evan Reshef was terrible and should not be practicing. Do not see him!! I came for an HSG and left in excruciating pain, feeling humiliated. During the procedure, he told me to ask him to stop if the pain increased or became unbearable. But when severe, crushing cramps made me repeatedly cry out, he stopped midway before I asked, leaving me confused. This happened again, prolonging my pain until they finally decided to change the catheter. The second catheter was slightly easier, but the moment he began injecting the iodine, the unbearable, constant pain returned and seemed endless. The solution flowed painfully slowly, making the procedure feel eternal. He kept interrupting to ask whether I wanted him to stop, while I just wanted him to finish the ordeal. What should have been a simple medical procedure became one of the most uncomfortable, prolonged, and unprofessional experiences of my life. It was nearly intolerable and continued to affect me long afterward. Afterward, he said he had performed many of these procedures, but it had not worked for me. My tubes might or might not be blocked, and he could not say for certain. This was devastating.
    Aug 16, 2025
    I had an excellent experience with Dr. Rashef. He answered every question, however minor, with patience and detailed information. Everyone from reception to his team was supportive and made me feel important. Fertility treatment is exhausting, so having such a strong support team was invaluable. I recommend Dr. Rashef and his team without hesitation.
    Sep 3, 2025
    I've never felt more uninformed and embarrassed. I'll be seeking help else where. I honestly can't believe they've helped anyone or could help us. I've still never talked to Mr. Patel. Would not recommend. I hope we can find someone that actually cares.

    The doctors and care team are truly incredible. I’ve very excited to start this journey. I know that God will be the deciding factor in the end but so far the whole team has been amazing and very supportive, knowledgeable, thorough with explaining, lots of patience. We are seeing Dr Reshef btw and he is phenomenal.

    I highly recommend CCRM. With Dr. Patel's help, my husband and I conceived our sweet son, due in 6/2025. He was very honest, thorough, and patient throughout the IVF process. The nurses and other staff at CCRM were wonderful and very helpful. CCRM helped us build our family, and we believe they can help others too.
    Sep 7, 2025
    They are kind and gentle and provide excellent customer service no matter who treats you. They make you feel extremely comfortable. Dr. Reshef and his team treated me with outstanding clinical care.

    I have long wanted to review the financial team's unprofessional conduct. For months, I requested an invoice for my out-of-pocket expenses, including the treatments received, treatment dates, and total amount paid, but they refused to provide one. Their excuse was that the insurance company had not fully processed the claims, which was unrelated to the out-of-pocket costs I prepaid. I no longer attend the clinic, and response times have become even longer. I recommend choosing a clinic that knows how to handle patient requests promptly.
    Oct 14, 2025
    We are deeply grateful to Dr. Patel and his team for helping us bring our beautiful son into the world through IVF. From the moment we began our journey, we felt supported and cared for. Dr. Patel is a true expert in his field, and his knowledge, skill, and attention to detail were evident at every step. He took time to explain every procedure and answer our questions, giving us confidence in the path ahead while also sharing plenty of laughter with us. The entire team was wonderful—always responsive, patient, and genuinely kind. During our first embryo transfer, we worked closely with Chelsea and Doreen, and they were a pleasure to work with. The process was sometimes long and challenging, but with the support of Dr. Patel and his team, we felt confident throughout. We are excited to begin the next chapter of our family's journey and cannot wait to welcome our next little one, thanks to Dr. Patel and his team. We will always be grateful for everything they did to help bring our son into the world! 💙

    Dr. Patel was very kind, thoughtful, and thorough in explaining all my options and the safest, most effective method we could try to achieve pregnancy while protecting both me and the baby.

    ACFS is amazing! I was a patient at this wonderful practice during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. IVF is physically and emotionally exhausting under normal circumstances, and undergoing it during a global lockdown was even harder, especially because my husband could not attend appointments with me. Dr. Lipskind and his outstanding team were exceptional throughout the process. Nurse Jennifer Singleton and the others answered all my unusual questions, laughed with me, held my hand when I needed support, and made me feel completely at ease. I am happy to say that thanks to Dr. Lipskind and his team, I welcomed a healthy, happy baby boy in January 2022. We also naturally conceived two daughters, born in 2023 and 2024. Many thanks to Dr. Lipskind, Jennifer Singleton, and all the other wonderful ACFS staff for making my dream of motherhood come true!

    I had an excellent experience completing three IVF cycles and one successful FET with Dr. Reshef and his team at this clinic. He is trustworthy, collaborative, kind, sincere, and highly knowledgeable. I truly have no complaints. After less positive experiences at two clinics in Tucson, I am very glad I transferred here. The long trip to Scottsdale was completely worth it.

    A week ago, someone posted about their unpleasant experience with financial services, and the same thing happened to me. I left about five voicemails over a week. They refused to respond, or when they did, they avoided the subject, did not answer my questions, and even pretended not to understand. I need a procedure that my regular OB-GYN does not perform, so I was referred here. Insurance does not cover it. I have told them four times, but that is beside the point. I only need a form with a written cost estimate. The front desk refused to provide one. For days, financial services promised that a financial counselor would call me. I finally said I did not want that; I only wanted a written estimate. They would not provide it, and the financial counselor never called. I told the same person about ten times that I was not asking for an itemized bill; I wanted a written estimate for the procedure. They seem to be deliberately avoiding this. Doctors do this because being deliberately vague increases the bill. This is a business first, not a clinic. I recommend going elsewhere; many of us seem to have had the same experience.

    I recently started care at this clinic, so I cannot comment on results yet. Reviews about poor communication nearly deterred me, but my experience has been the opposite. I have never encountered a healthcare organization with such smooth communication. The portal is easy to use, and I receive same-day replies. I feel well informed, my questions are answered, and everything is progressing smoothly. I look forward to continuing care here. Before every visit, all paid out of pocket, I received a cost estimate and reviewed every detail carefully.
    Mar 27, 2026
    From beginning to end, our experience with this clinic was very disappointing. Over more than a year, numerous problems ultimately forced us to seek care elsewhere. Blood draws were repeatedly difficult. I have type 1 diabetes and have blood drawn every three months without prior problems, but two phlebotomists repeatedly missed my veins. This was physically uncomfortable and clinically concerning. In addition, many medical assistants seemed uncertain or inconsistent when answering questions, adding frustration to an already stressful process. The overall experience felt impersonal. Fertility treatment is emotional and vulnerable, yet we never felt the support and care patients deserve. Interactions often felt cold and lacking in empathy. After a year, we transferred to another clinic, and the difference was remarkable. The new clinic showed us what compassionate, attentive, patient-centered fertility care should be. This experience was discouraging, especially because it was our first attempt at fertility treatment. I hope the clinic takes this feedback seriously and makes meaningful improvements to patient care and communication.

    I came to this clinic to see Dr. Nicole Kummer based on a recommendation from my trusted OB-GYN, but something felt wrong from the start. CCRM was in network with my insurance and confirmed this, yet could not provide a cost estimate before my appointment. At the clinic, the front desk required me to prepay for the procedure without a reasonable explanation. I was worried about my fertility and thought I could submit the receipt to insurance later, so I paid because I did not know whether other clinics did the same. I can now say they do not, and this clinic is far from top-tier. Dr. Evan Reshef was supposed to perform my hysterosalpingogram (HSG), but he had a student/resident “assist,” and she actually performed the entire procedure alone. I work in healthcare and understand that residents need to learn, but I paid $440 for a doctor, not a resident. She said there might be an abnormality, which the doctor disagreed with, and now I am worried. I then paid another $440 for an SHG with Dr. Ketan Patel. He and his assistant/technician were excellent. My follow-up with Dr. Kummer was mediocre; I felt like a number on an assembly line. She seemed more interested in my vacation than the treatment I was paying her to address.
    Apr 19, 2026
    Dr. Kummer and her team, Sandy and Jennifer, were outstanding. Throughout our two-year fertility journey, we consistently felt their care and consideration and greatly appreciated their dedication to our case. We are delighted to announce that we welcomed a wonderful baby boy and will always be grateful to ACFS/CCRM.
    Mar 24, 2026
    Dr. Lipskind is the best doctor I have ever met. He is kind, cared for me deeply during difficult times, and helped me welcome two wonderful sons. We will always be grateful to Dr. Lipskind and his excellent nursing team and will continue recommending him to anyone who needs help with infertility.
    Apr 8, 2026
    We spent about four months at this clinic, but unfortunately our experience was extremely disappointing. Communication was one of the greatest problems. Calls frequently went unanswered, and messages were vague and unprofessional. Once, when we were confused about the next step in treatment, the response was essentially, ‘I just do whatever the doctor says,’ which was shocking given the importance of fertility care. Pricing also lacked transparency. We repeatedly had to ask for basic financial information that should have been clear from the beginning. More importantly, we never received a clear treatment plan or guidance. After months of appointments, we still felt as if we were finding our own way. Fertility is an emotional and time-sensitive journey. We needed guidance, clarity, and care but received none of them. After seeking a second opinion elsewhere, everything changed immediately. In one visit, we received more answers, a clear treatment plan with alternatives, full cost transparency, and a personalized schedule for our situation. It showed us how much we had been missing. I rarely write reviews, but time matters in this process. If you are considering this clinic, ask detailed questions early and advocate for yourself. You deserve clear communication, a practical treatment plan, and a medical team that genuinely cares for your case and gives you the attention you deserve.
    Apr 6, 2026
    I had a consultation, but we could not use this company, which is understandable; these things happen. The doctors were pleasant. The problem is that they charged my credit card twice without explanation. I called repeatedly to ask why, but no one answered. Many reviews suggest calling the provided number for the clinic director, but that is useless because they neither answer nor return calls. Then they charged me again over the weekend! This is outrageous. I have made more than a dozen calls over more than a month just to get a simple answer.
    May 17, 2026
    I had an excellent experience at ACFS, and Anna was helpful, patient, and responsive throughout. Even when the appointment time changed, she handled it well and ensured that I was properly cared for. Her communication and customer service were outstanding. As a new patient, she made a very positive impression and gave me confidence about my upcoming appointment. I sincerely appreciate all her help. Thank you, Anna, for your kindness and professionalism!
    May 9, 2026
    Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable and exceptionally gentle during ultrasounds. I have had two successful frozen embryo transfers, and my third is coming soon. The entire medical team is wonderful.
    May 6, 2026
    The staff were very kind and scheduled me quickly. Excellent experience.
    Jun 27, 2026
    这里的员工都非常友善。从前台到护士和医生,每个人都亲切友好,乐于助人,并且真心实意地让我感到舒适,在我需要帮助的时候也尽力帮忙。特别是Anna,我的注射经常出现问题,每次注射日的安排有所变动,她总是会去询问相关人员或尽快帮我联系护士。 这一点让我印象最深刻,因为我非常重视优质的客户服务。就我而言,Lipskind医生和他的团队是我的生育治疗团队。 唯一的不足之处是患者门户网站——它的操作有点复杂,我希望它能更人性化一些。除此之外,考虑到我需要在开始癌症治疗前进行生育力保存,时间非常紧迫,我的就诊体验非常棒,我绝对会推荐这家诊所。

    May 27, 2026
    我预约了5月18日星期一的医生就诊。5月11日,我收到了七封不同的邮件,要求我在就诊前付款。我向亚利桑那州生育中心支付了176.16美元。两天后,5月13日,我接到通知,需要更换医生。我选择不改约,因为我之前做了很多功课才找到这位医生,也得到了朋友的推荐,而且我想在同意改约前有时间了解其他医生的情况。在这次通话中,他们告诉我176.16美元的款项会退还给我。考虑到退款需要时间,我等了一周才再次联系。5月20日,我致电账单部门并留言,但一直没有收到回复。今天早上,我又收到了一封包含176.16美元的收据邮件。起初,我以为这只是我5月11日付款的凭证,但收据上的日期却是今天的,这让我更加困惑和担忧。我之后再次致电账单部门并留言,但仍然没有收到任何回复。由于缺乏沟通和后续跟进,我的经历令人沮丧。我仍在等待关于最初退款状态的确认,以及关于为何我收到另一张相同金额收据的解释。我期望在整个过程中都能获得更清晰的沟通和更及时的客户服务。
    May 22, 2026
    他更多的是在告诉我这个不行,那个不行,我必须做试管婴儿,甚至可能还要代孕。我就想,医生,冷静点,这只是第一次预约,你连最近的化验结果都没有,就急着告诉我我怀不了孩子,还说费用有多高。我来这里是想弄清楚我需要做些什么才能自然受孕,确保身体一切正常。结果他却一直在说这个不行,那个不行,那些药不能吃。这些我早就知道了,因为我的所有医生都知道,他们也跟我解释过。而且他说完每句话,都会加一句“你知道的”。不,我不知道,所以我才来这里预约,感觉整个过程都很匆忙。他语速很快,让我觉得他肯定还有更重要的事要做。好吧,这样也行。他把我转诊到一家不接受保险的减肥诊所。他没问几个问题,甚至在工作人员说我丈夫必须陪同就诊时,他也没跟我丈夫说话。连我丈夫都对这位医生毫无信心。我在PrimeGYN诊所看的是一位执业护士,那是她自己的诊所,也是她的专长,但他却说她只是个普通执业护士,对妇科一窍不通。他试图打击我的信心,但我不会让他得逞。所以我现在对他的信任度非常低。我们不会再去了。我会找一位新的生育专家。一位会倾听并提供帮助的专家,而不是那种因为觉得赚不到钱就试图否定你病情的专家。所以,千万别去看帕特尔医生。他的医德太差了。

    Jun 16, 2026
    CCRM的每个人都非常友善,他们会帮助你缓解焦虑。他们会耐心地解释每一个步骤,而且非常细致周到。
    Jun 10, 2026
    我当时正在旅行,需要外部监测,整个团队都非常体贴周到,帮了我很多忙——他们把原本压力很大、充满挑战的事情(比如保险、账单、审批、日程安排等等)变得如此轻松。特别感谢Vanessa,她让一切都安排得井井有条。还要感谢Madeline,她非常体贴,同意提前安排我,这样我就可以更方便地和我在Easy Coast诊所的预约协调。万分感谢🙏🏽

    Dr. Patel and his staff are amazing! They did what two other fertility doctors could not: he helped me become pregnant. At 37, I went to HRC-Encino in California to try to conceive. Two egg retrievals and three embryo transfers were unsuccessful. After moving to Arizona, I began the IVF process again at 39 with Bloom Fertility, but I felt they were not listening to me or my concerns and were wasting my time and money by pushing me toward IUI. I left with shattered dreams and hopes. My husband encouraged me to try IVF once more, so I found Arizona Associates. Dr. Patel always took the time to listen to my concerns and helped me understand what he was doing and why.
    Jan 13, 2022
    First, if you are looking for a doctor who will coddle you and tell you that everything will be fine, he is not the right choice. He is kind and has a dry sense of humor, but if things are not going well, he will not sugarcoat them or hug you. I prefer realistic expectations, statistics, and honesty, and I do not like hugs from anyone outside my family, so he was a good fit for me. That is what you can expect from Dr. Patel. I believe my favorite nurse, Bonnie, is no longer there, but she was amazing!! Our child was born in 2019 through IVF under the care of Dr. Patel and his excellent staff. We hope to return soon for baby number two.
    Sep 15, 2021
    Worst experience ever! Dr. Patel has no bedside manner! He only wants patients with no health issues and said I should not even try to become pregnant because I am overweight, older, and have had health problems in the past. I left the appointment in tears and feeling hopeless. I may be somewhat overweight, but he spoke to me as though I weighed 600 pounds. I would give zero stars if I could.
    Jul 2, 2021
    If I could give more stars, I would. I almost decided not to use Dr. Patel because of a few negative reviews, and that would have been a major mistake. Dr. Patel, Chelsea, Doreen, Gabby, and the rest of his staff are amazing! They are knowledgeable, helpful, answer every question, organized, and responsive, especially through messages in the app. You never wait when you have an appointment; you are in and out. Dr. Patel is busy, but he clearly knows what he is doing, and his primary goal is to help you become pregnant. The best thing we did was let them work their magic, and they did. We are so grateful to Dr. Patel and his staff for helping us create this little miracle. Our due date is 1/3/22.
    Jan 23, 2021
    Many thanks to the staff and Dr. Patel. We always felt well cared for. After several IUI attempts, we finally succeeded with IVF, and we cannot thank them enough. I would not wish this situation on anyone, but if someone needs help, I highly recommend Dr. Patel!

    This was the worst experience during an already difficult time. I had received treatment for a year at a Colorado clinic, and this was one of the clinics recommended when my husband and I moved to Arizona. I consulted Dr. Patel and initially thought it would be great and that my treatment would continue without interruption. But the longer we spoke, the ruder and more condescending he became. He told me I would never become pregnant unless I lost weight; I weighed about 230 pounds. Unknown to me, I was already pregnant when we met. More than a year later, I now have a healthy 9-month-old. If you are even slightly overweight, this is not the place for you. Dr. Patel clearly does not want to help. I called my Colorado clinic, told them what happened, and suggested removing this clinic from their referral list.

    I felt violated and robbed!! Dr. Evan Reshef was terrible and should not be practicing. Do not see him!! I came for an HSG and left in excruciating pain, feeling humiliated. During the procedure, he told me to ask him to stop if the pain increased or became unbearable. But when severe, crushing cramps made me repeatedly cry out, he stopped midway before I asked, leaving me confused. This happened again, prolonging my pain until they finally decided to change the catheter. The second catheter was slightly easier, but the moment he began injecting the iodine, the unbearable, constant pain returned and seemed endless. The solution flowed painfully slowly, making the procedure feel eternal. He kept interrupting to ask whether I wanted him to stop, while I just wanted him to finish the ordeal. What should have been a simple medical procedure became one of the most uncomfortable, prolonged, and unprofessional experiences of my life. It was nearly intolerable and continued to affect me long afterward. Afterward, he said he had performed many of these procedures, but it had not worked for me. My tubes might or might not be blocked, and he could not say for certain. This was devastating.

    I saw every doctor in the practice during my IVF treatment, and each one was excellent. The staff were very attentive and guided me throughout, even when I had a hundred questions. Highly recommended for anyone considering IVF.

    I previously attended another IVF clinic, and my experience at CCRM was worlds apart—in the best way! Communication was excellent and responses were always prompt, which the previous clinic lacked. My physician was Dr. Patel, and he and his team were helpful, consistently friendly, and explained everything they were doing in detail, leaving no questions unanswered. I felt well prepared for my transfer and reassured throughout the process. I can now happily say we are expecting a baby, all thanks to the outstanding CCRM team!

    The financial department does an excellent job of clearly itemizing the upfront costs before your appointment. Dr. Patel is very thorough and takes time to answer your questions.
