    I have been going to FCNE since April and have completed 2 cycles. The doctors and nurses have been wonderful. The early-morning monitoring appointments at the Leominster satellite office are excellent. Chelsea is wonderful, always makes me feel at ease, and quickly answers any questions we have. When we lost our first baby to miscarriage, everyone was very supportive and helped me prepare to try again. It has been a wonderful experience, and I would recommend them to anyone.

    I strongly recommend avoiding Dr. Amir Mor. He was not helpful at all. He did not want to answer my questions, told me in an irritated tone that we were ‘repeating ourselves,’ and told me to use Google and do my own research. I expected a doctor like this to have empathy and want to help others, but the opposite was true. I am going to another clinic.

    This clinic is absolutely terrible and not worth visiting. Do not go to any FCNE clinic; they only want to take your money.

    They made my lifelong dream come true. Thank you so much.

    After seeing another Latino review, I have to say that I did not feel Mary Kelley-Webber's questions were targeted. In fact, I found them very informative in setting expectations about procedural and health requirements. I personally wish more offices had someone like her. Most IVF offices in the Greater Boston area are difficult to reach, and Mary Kelley-Webber's prompt, informative responses made my partner and me strongly consider Fertility Solutions New England. At the moment, our first cycle feels more like a race against time because we hope to use our employer-funded benefits during this calendar year, and FSNE is fully booked this December. We may consider them for our next cycle next year. My only hesitation is that their availability seems more limited than other clinics in the area. That concerns me somewhat because everything, at least for women, must be timed within our cycles, making scheduling flexibility and availability essential.

    My husband and I had an appointment this summer and were excited to have a consultation and begin the family-planning process. We carefully completed the pre-visit questionnaire and made sure to explain our situation and what we wanted to discuss in great detail. My husband and I need to use donor sperm, so we were not TTC in the traditional way, if you know what I mean. We were excited to discuss our options, where to begin, and what the next steps would be. The consultation was virtual, so we opened Zoom. Dr. Hill joined and immediately asked, “How long have you been trying to become pregnant without success?” I was somewhat shocked because we had carefully completed a form explaining in detail that we had not. I clarified our situation, and he replied, “Oh, then what are we discussing today?” Dr. Hill then realized he should review the printed information from our form in front of him. While reviewing my statistics, including my age and height, he stopped abruptly when he reached my weight and said, “Oh. Your weight is quite high, so we need to go straight to the big guns and do full IVF. Unless you can commit to losing 15–30 pounds, but even then...” I immediately felt like crying. I am 5 feet 10 inches tall and wear a size 14. I know perfectly well that I am not petite, but being told that I was too heavy to have a baby without using the “big guns” was excessive and extremely tactless. At that point, Dr. Hill told me we would need various tests and that I should call on the first day of my next cycle to schedule “probing” on day three. He quickly asked, “Okay, well, any questions?” and ended the Zoom call while already standing up from his desk. Overall, our call lasted 8 minutes. It ended with us feeling shocked and ashamed, and certainly no further along on the path to becoming parents, something we had wanted for so long. A call we had been so excited about ultimately felt deeply traumatic. To make matters worse, there was no follow-up, and we also received a $500 bill. I am still not sure what it was for.

    I wish I could give zero stars. The service was terrible, especially from Dr. Moore. What an awful doctor. There were incorrect charges, and when I requested all my medical information, they acted as though they were trying to hide something. There was no transparency at all!
    Oct 23, 2024
    I could not even get through to schedule an appointment! The call disconnected, and I was told to chat with AI instead of a real person. You may as well go online and fill everything out, although it felt like I might as well hand over my left kidney! Making an effort to provide “good customer service,” as you hear during the first 30 calls to these people, is clearly not a priority for them.

    My wife and I had our first child through FCNE. The best part of our experience was conceiving our daughter on the first attempt. I remember most of the staff being friendly and easy to work with. We are very grateful that they helped us have our first child. What dissatisfied me was that during our first egg retrieval, I asked the doctor we worked with, Plante, whether the embryos could be tested for abnormalities and sex. She snapped at me and responded so judgmentally that I felt the question was inappropriate. Our other interactions were pleasant enough, but she sharply criticized me when I raised this subject, which embarrassed me. A few years later, after we had our daughter, we spent about $5,900 on embryo testing. Several months later, Dr. Plante called to discuss the treatment results. My wife was at work and could not answer, so the doctor left a voicemail saying she had “bad news.” We tried to call back but encountered repeated obstacles and were told we would have to wait a month to reach the doctor and learn what had happened. When we finally spoke with the doctor during a virtual appointment one month later, I raised the issue: leaving a voicemail and then disappearing for a month was both inconsiderate and unprofessional. I felt their response to my complaint was very poor and showed almost no empathy. About five years have now passed, and their charges have reached the point that we must make the difficult decision whether to keep or discard our remaining embryos. Storage costs $800 per year, far more than before, and continue to increase annually. When we first began working with FCNE, they offered embryo donation, but they have apparently stopped. We are now on our own, although they will charge a $250 transfer fee if we find a donation option ourselves. If we want to discard the embryos, they require a notarized statement approximately one month before the payment date. They have made an already difficult situation even harder and seem to lack compassion. They have earned tens of thousands of dollars from us, so their practices appear commercially greedy. I believe it is unethical not to honor the donation policy that patients relied on when joining years ago, believing they would receive help if they ever faced this decision.

    Some people are kind and helpful, while others are not. When dealing with something like this, the last thing you want is someone acting impatient when you are simply trying to schedule an appointment.
    Sep 30, 2025
    Every time I approach the front desk, the staff make me feel as though I am bothering them. They never smile. I had previously heard good things about them, but honestly, after reading other reviews, I am glad to know I am not the only person who feels this way.

    They refused to investigate my issue and hung up on me.

    I wish I could give a negative rating. Avoid FCNE at all costs! Our experience involved medical gaslighting, negligence, and poor care, making an already difficult journey even harder. Staff frequently made mistakes, including forgetting to schedule laboratory tests, failing to communicate treatment steps, and giving conflicting advice. There were also incorrect insurance details, no accountability, and complete disregard for the emotional strain of fertility difficulties. We constantly had to advocate for ourselves, yet matters were still delayed or mishandled. After changing clinics, we were told FCNE had missed important tests, and now we must restart the entire process. The emotional strain combined with poor medical care made it almost impossible to trust them. I would not recommend this clinic to anyone.
    Nov 13, 2025
    This clinic is extremely unprofessional. We met with Dr. Gargiulo and found him very unprofessional. A doctor who speaks badly about colleagues behind their backs comes across as immature. He constantly boasted about his experience and other accomplishments, making him seem narcissistic. Communication at this clinic is very poor. If you do not believe me, read the lowest-rated reviews, which confirm this. The billing and insurance department is also unprofessional and uncommunicative, and patients become the scapegoats. Although I provided my insurance information, they did not bill my insurer and instead classified me as self-pay. I was extremely disappointed by this experience and would never recommend this clinic to anyone.
    Oct 31, 2025
    I wish I could give negative stars. Do not go here! Do not go!!! The worst communication, the worst clinic, and the worst process—I am completely disgusted by everything about them.

    I would give zero stars if I could. The service is cold and unreliable. Their phone recording promises "excellent customer service," but you will not find it here. The staff sets completely unrealistic expectations and knows nothing about each patient's specific treatment plan. No one knows who you are or where you are in treatment, and different nurses give different advice. The doctor assigned to you may not be the one actually responsible for your care, and follow-up is extremely poor. The only award on the wall is from 2012, probably the last time they provided good service. It is no surprise they have not won another since. Seriously, go elsewhere.
    Jan 21, 2026
    Terrible service, excessively long phone waits, and completely unprepared operators. They treated us very poorly, said they had no interpreter, and made no effort to help us.
    Feb 12, 2026
    Absolutely terrible experience. Stay away. This medical facility is disgusting.
    Feb 17, 2026
    If I could give a negative rating, I would. Extremely unprofessional, and they do not care about patients. Stay away from this place.

    This clinic made mistakes during all four attempts, and many things were overlooked. Make sure every detail is handled properly.

    The best fertility treatment facility. They are kind and informative. Their care team was very helpful and made the entire process less stressful. An excellent choice!

    I recommend going elsewhere for your fertility needs. My husband and I had been trying to conceive for a year and decided to see a fertility doctor. My OB-GYN had already performed basic hormone testing and found nothing abnormal, but my husband's testing prompted him to seek further evaluation. We completed the online pre-appointment form and described what we already knew. They made me the primary patient because I would be the one carrying the pregnancy. Our first appointment lasted only 15 minutes. The doctor asked me basic questions I had already answered on the form—whether I smoked or drank—but asked my husband even fewer questions. He then declared that the only issue was my age—I was 35—and ordered a series of tests for me. My husband asked about his own testing, including sperm count and hormone levels, and the doctor said we could do it if we wanted. His hormone testing turned out to be only an STI screening, and he had to drive to a clinic an hour away for semen analysis because the nearby office did not offer it. My husband still has not received the results. When he called, they told him we had to submit a release-of-results form (?). Then we received a $450 bill. We spoke with two other couples who initially went to New England Fertility Center but left for another clinic because they were dissatisfied with their care. Overall, I felt the doctor lacked compassion and treated us like a paycheck rather than patients discussing a sensitive issue. Save your time and money and go elsewhere.

    I really liked Fertility Solutions itself; they were personable and professional. Since the merger, I have become just a number. Every time I call, the front desk is very rude and unhelpful. They made me create a complete "new patient" profile because they could not "find" my previous records. 3 months later, we were able to access our old records...🫠. When I called to ask about their COVID vaccine policy at the request of our surrogacy agency, the front desk woman did not know, which was fine, and transferred me to the nurses' station. Instead of reaching someone there, I left a voicemail. According to their policy, I should have received a response by the end of the day. Unsurprisingly, I never got a call back. I am always someone else's problem. The company truly does not care as long as it meets its quotas.
    Feb 12, 2026
    Just, no.
    Nov 22, 2024
    I called to ask for information because I do not know much about these matters, and the woman who answered was very rude and condescending. She should not treat patients that way, especially regarding sensitive issues like these. She made me feel very embarrassed.

    Dr. Vitiello is excellent and direct! Michelle M. in finance/insurance went above and beyond to help me obtain IVF authorization/referral. The sonographers and lab technicians were also very kind, especially considering how early we arrived. The nurses quickly responded about prescription refills and any questions I had. The portal is excellent! So far, I have had a wonderful experience! Update: I recently had my beautiful twin daughters! I could not be more grateful!

    I saw Dr. Hill in February 2023. I had been receiving fertility treatment since January 2021 and still had 6 months remaining on a 12-month waiting list for my local REI team, so I thought I would stay with friends and receive treatment in New Hampshire. Dr. Hill looked at my BMI—we all know it is unreliable, and mine was not especially high—said nothing could be done until I lost weight, offered medication options because I have PCOS, and ended the appointment after 7 minutes. A few months later, my local team reviewed my two-miscarriage history—not just my BMI—and said chromosomal abnormalities in the embryos were likely responsible. They began treatment, and I am now six months pregnant. You can go to FCNE, but find a provider who considers the whole person. We are more than our BMI, and infertility treatment is not one-size-fits-all.
    May 20, 2023
    The staff here are wonderful! They are very friendly and easy to talk to. Claire, Vanessa, Lynn, and the other women are the best. Thank you for everything you do and for being such kind people. I truly appreciate all of you. Linda M.

    We are actively preparing for an IVF cycle and feel that Dr. V is very professional! She made us feel that she had carefully reviewed our complete medical history and tailored the treatment plan to us. The patient portal is easy to use, and every department responds quickly. We are very excited about the next steps!

    They constantly change things so I have to spend more money. I have been patient, but they provide no information about next steps. I work in social services and understand that they are busy, but I still keep my clients informed about their cases. Here, I am not a person; I am only a source of money. I am now trying to obtain my personal information and find another program to work with. My husband has cystic fibrosis, and it has been nearly a year since his sperm retrieval. Once again, I am being asked to complete bloodwork and many tests I have already completed countless times. If you want a transparent fertility team, do not come here.
    Sep 16, 2024
    Dr. Weiss and Dr. Vitirllo were compassionate. She performed my transfer, and my child is now 4 years old. They listened and addressed the problem.
    Jul 14, 2023
    I had a very good egg-freezing experience with Dr. Plante and her team. Everything was smooth, informative, and professional.
    Feb 12, 2020
    I had a terrible experience with Dr. Robert Weiss at FCNE. It was a complete waste of time and money. He never read my chart before speaking with me, was inattentive and dishonest, had a terrible bedside manner, and showed no compassion. After two failed IUIs, two failed IVF implantations, one twin miscarriage, and a year, I left FCNE several thousand dollars poorer and without a child. I might attribute this to bad luck, but I changed fertility centers and became pregnant after the first implantation thanks to the remarkable concept of 'protocol adjustment,' instead of Dr. Weiss simply doing the same thing over and over. A bad person, a bad doctor, and a terrible experience caused my mental health to deteriorate completely. I do not know how he sleeps at night.

    Sep 10, 2024
    Even with IVF, I had only a 3% chance at age 42. Dr. Hill and his excellent team worked with my husband and me—and the rest of our team—to bring our sweet, beautiful, intelligent girl into the world. It still feels like a dream. His embryology team is first-rate. I could not recommend them more highly.
    Jul 11, 2023
    After my wife was found to have a uterine problem, we naively chose this clinic because it offered a free third cycle if the first two were unsuccessful. We were then sold every special test and procedure, like a car salesman manipulating his target. We were emotionally distressed and vulnerable, and this clinic knows how to exploit people's suffering. They have practically turned it into a science. After spending more than $30,000 and enduring a painful year-long process, we were told that our two beautiful, healthy, fully tested embryos had both died—both transfers failed. Because we had agreed to all the expensive testing, we were then told we no longer qualified for the free third cycle. So we are now worse off than before and $30,000 poorer. This clinic is nothing but a cash cow for negligent doctors who put desperate couples through misery. My wife was one of many people sent into an empty hallway filled with construction equipment and no staff present, where she waited another two hours after receiving confusing directions. If you are the father, expect to be completely disregarded throughout the process. Your pain and feelings mean nothing to them. They repeatedly misspelled my wife's name and never considered her autoimmune condition. They use a one-size-fits-all protocol, and you are absolutely just a number and a paycheck. I hope this review persuades at least one inexperienced couple not to choose this place. My wife and I are now going to CCRMI, which is night and day compared with this clinic, and we feel hopeful there. Please avoid this clinic!!!!!! Save yourself the time, money, and heartache. They are so cold and unprofessional.

    This fertility clinic does not allow children to accompany patients to routine appointments such as blood draws and ultrasounds. I understand that the policy is intended to create a safe and emotionally sensitive environment for providers and patients. However, it creates a real challenge for patients who already have children, requiring them to arrange childcare merely to attend a quick appointment. I raised this issue with Dr. Hill's care team and was pleased to receive a call from the director of patient services, who was professional, listened well, and promised to share my feedback with her team. This three-star rating does not reflect the quality of care provided, but I hope my review helps patients with children who are exploring their options!
    Jun 24, 2026
    谨防误导信息。我曾与约瑟夫·希尔医生进行过远程医疗咨询。他引用了一项极其过时的研究，该研究声称选择性血清素再摄取抑制剂（抗抑郁药）与自闭症有关，但这一说法已被证伪，纯属无稽之谈。他还无视了我们之前在另一家诊所进行的为期四年的试管婴儿治疗记录，那次治疗最终成功怀孕。他认为这些信息“无关紧要”。
    Jan 28, 2025
    I was unhappy with my consultation. I scheduled an IUI consultation, but Dr. Hill focused on IVF throughout. When I clarified that my consultation was only for IUI, Dr. Hill said IUI was a waste of time and money. If the goal is to discourage couples from IUI, why offer it? I found Dr. Hill's approach overly promotional, presenting IVF as the only viable option.
    Jul 29, 2024
    I contacted FCNE through its online portal to ask about IUI. I had already completed fertility testing through my OB/GYN and started a medicated cycle, but could not undergo IUI because my insurance required it to be performed by a reproductive endocrinologist. I explained this in the portal. Soon afterward, their director of concierge services emailed me about the consultation and required testing. The email said, "For female patients, because of anesthesia requirements, we require a BMI below 36% because we are an outpatient facility." I replied, repeating that I had already been tested and had a treatment plan. I told them my BMI was above 36% and asked whether that automatically excluded me from all services even though I was not seeking anything requiring anesthesia. The director replied with a very brief email stating they would not treat me or even consult with me about services until my BMI was below 36%. This place needs to seriously improve its understanding of its patient population. I have dealt with endometriosis for years, which directly contributed to weight gain, along with chronic physical discomfort, lack of answers, dismissive healthcare providers, and stress. Now I am also coping with infertility. All of these significantly contribute to weight gain. Their patients come to them during emotionally stressful times, yet they offered no support. I understand that they must follow certain guidelines and policies, but the insensitive way they communicated this was appalling. At minimum, they could offer resources and support to help people seeking fertility services become eligible, or provide alternatives. Such a rapid and harsh rejection is inappropriate when a family already feels desperate about being unable to conceive.
    May 25, 2024
    I went through the process of creating embryos with donor sperm, and it was a great experience. I did not need to ask many questions because the information was thorough and relevant. The only drawback was that Dr. Hill speaks very quickly and has a lot of information to provide. I usually recorded the calls so I could review them later. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend them!
    Feb 28, 2024
    Treatment is extremely expensive, and the care team is very rude. You never know who will respond to your messages, no one is direct, and there is constant passive-aggressive rudeness and insensitivity while they drain your wallet. I did conceive successfully, but I cried every time I had to speak with them. They need sensitivity training and perhaps an entirely new staff. They are condescending and still do not answer your questions. It took them a week and four replies, yet no one bothered to actually review a PDF of lab results I sent for evaluation. Constant nonsense and belittling.
    Feb 21, 2024
    Do not go here; they are scammers and thieves. They tell you the first consultation is free, but it is not. They say you can arrange a payment plan and continue treatment, but that is a lie. My wife and I have been seeing them for months, met the doctor only once for the "free" initial consultation, and were forced to repeat a series of tests we had already completed and that were in our medical records, simply so they could charge for doing them again. We now owe them hundreds of dollars and have received virtually nothing. They froze our account until it is paid in full, so we cannot continue treatment. I say continue treatment, but we were never able to begin because they did nothing for us beyond the initial consultation and repeating tests already completed. They are not trying to help you have a child; they are only taking your money.
    Aug 8, 2025
    The worst customer service I have ever encountered. They have very strict weight requirements and provide no help at all. The staff are extremely rude and mean.
