    This is a wonderful group to work with! Because our IVF clinic is elsewhere, we came here for outside monitoring. Olesya is the best sonographer! In addition to being knowledgeable, kind, reliable, and professional, she is a lovely person. Sarah is also a superstar. She was tremendously helpful with immediate scheduling and prompt communication, which I greatly appreciated because this process requires fast responses. Everything was easy, and our results were always delivered promptly at lightning speed. Because IVF and fertility treatment are often unpredictable and stressful, having a team you know you can trust is essential. Empower unquestionably provided invaluable support. Thank you, ladies!!!! 🙏🏼🩷

    This place seemed fine at first; wherever you go, you begin with hope. Then things changed. The doctor explained things without giving real answers, using analogies instead of speaking to us like people. The nursing staff encouraged you about finances and reminded you that they honored what you had already paid, then created additional charges. My lining did not grow with oral estrogen. I advocated for myself and asked whether I could try another form, but they always insisted on the ‘calendar’ and treated every case the same, even though I do not have ovaries. I left disappointed and crying every time. You can tell they do this only for money, without a genuine passion for helping. I finally left, and my new clinic is like night and day. If you want compassion and genuine concern for your health—not a doctor who only says ‘there is not enough research on the uterus’ and provides no answers—do not come here. My package included charges for services I never received, such as labs. When I had to shorten my other transfer package ($4,200), they refunded $100! $100?! That was not even enough for the gas to drive there. Do not go here; you will be disappointed. When my first transfer failed, they made me feel like the odd one out. The physician reminded me that they had a 100% success rate, which did not make me feel better.

    I love everything about this facility. They treat me like family and always create a positive atmosphere. Communication is a top priority for them. I cannot even choose a favorite because they are all incredible: Sarah, Olesya, Cynthia, and Dr. Dan. They also offer a wonderful military package. This is a family you should not overlook.

    Absolutely the best office ever. Dr. Rychlik is very kind and understanding. He takes the time to explain everything!

    Update after the clinic responded to my original review: I greatly appreciate the clinic's thoughtful response and the intent behind this transfer. However, I want to clarify that in my case, the clinic did not communicate with me personally. I learned about it through a generic email after the transfer had already been completed. I understand the clinic's goal is to provide world-class care and a personal touch, but this experience did not reflect that. I am sharing this not to criticize the clinic's science or staff, but to advocate for more transparent, personalized communication, especially when patients entrust them with something as emotionally and financially important as embryos. I hope future transfers will be handled with more direct, patient-first communication. Original review: The clinic's lack of informed consent and communication is shocking. I previously had a successful procedure at Oma Fertility, but things have steadily worsened since the clinic was renamed Empower Fertility. Without prior notice or my consent, they transferred my embryos to another clinic even though I had paid them for embryo storage. I learned about it through an automated email, and when I called their team, they had no idea what had happened. This was more than an oversight; it was a serious violation of trust and autonomy in a process that is already extremely sensitive, private, and expensive (over $10,000). I strongly caution anyone considering this clinic because of its poor communication and inconsistency. No one should be blindsided like this.

    After nearly a decade of struggling with infertility, I feel extremely fortunate to have found Dr. Rychlik and his excellent team at Empower Fertility. From the first consultation, Dr. Rychlik's confidence and care impressed me. I will never forget him saying, “If you want a child, I can give you one.” At that moment, I felt hope for the first time in years. Empower Fertility made the entire process as easy and convenient as possible. Dr. Rychlik and his team were always ready to answer my questions and provide guidance and support at every step. Everything from lab work and ultrasounds to egg retrieval and transfer was completed in one convenient location. I also want to thank the ultrasound technician, Olesya. She is truly wonderful! Her kindness and warmth made me feel like family at every visit, and I will always remember how she helped ease this emotional journey. Thanks to Dr. Rychlik and his team, we are now proud parents of a beautiful daughter and are currently completing our second embryo transfer. We are deeply grateful for everything they have done for us. Our experience was excellent, and I highly recommend Empower Fertility to anyone facing infertility. Forever grateful!

    As an egg donor, I had two wonderful experiences at Empower Fertility! Every team member I encountered was kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone interested in donating eggs, and it will be my first choice for my next egg donation!

    My experience at Empower Fertility was first-rate from beginning to end. The staff were warm, friendly, and helpful. The doctors' exceptional skill and knowledge put me at ease throughout the process. Everyone went above and beyond to make me comfortable. The clinic is clean and welcoming, and appointments were always on time. Everything at Empower Fertility felt personalized and tailored to my needs. I sincerely recommend Empower Fertility for all your fertility needs.

    I had an excellent treatment experience with Dr. Dan. His staff were attentive, thoughtful, and helpful. I would return in the future.

    We had an excellent experience at Empower and highly recommend it! The staff were not only caring but also extremely helpful and informative throughout the process. We felt well cared for and knew they were doing everything possible to help us.

    The Empower team's help was excellent. Under their guidance, I completed one egg retrieval and two transfers. Throughout the process, they were knowledgeable, thorough, caring, helpful, and flexible. Highly recommended!

    Dr. Rychlik, Oleysa, and the clinic team were patient and understanding at every stage of our journey to have a baby boy. During our first frozen embryo transfer (FET), we suffered the heartbreaking loss of our first baby. Several years later, we tried a second frozen embryo transfer (FET), which was successful. For years, we chose Oma Fertility. We did not receive notice of its bankruptcy and lost our loan as a result, which was a major problem for us. Dr. Rychlik bought out his own shares and founded Empower Fertility. During that financial crisis, he offered us a frozen embryo transfer (FET) to make up for the loss, so my husband and I had to rebuild our trust. The new Empower Fertility clinic communicated much better with us. Sarah and Oleysa frequently responded to my emails and phone calls, and I appreciate them. The location is easy to find, the facility is modern, and it has everything needed for IVF. Our favorite person, Oleysa, guided us extensively through medication schedules, insurance coverage, and remarkably positive support. We love our baby boy and cannot wait to complete our family with another baby at our next FET.

    I am extremely grateful that I chose Empower for my in vitro fertilization (IVF) journey. From the beginning, every team member made me feel supported, cared for, and truly understood. The entire staff was not only knowledgeable but also exceptionally kind and patient, guiding me through every step—and there were many—with empathy and clarity. What could have felt overwhelming instead became an experience filled with hope and encouragement thanks to their guidance. I feel fortunate to have been cared for by such an excellent team and cannot thank them enough for everything they did for me.

    Empowered Fertility was outstanding and a major source of support on our path to pregnancy. From the beginning, the team was highly supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in our success. They patiently explained everything, answered every question, and made us feel heard and cared for at every step. Their empathy and professionalism transformed a stressful process into one filled with confidence and hope. We are deeply grateful for their guidance and support and highly recommend Empowered Fertility to any woman trying to conceive.

    After charging me and drawing blood, they became unreachable.

    Dr. Reklaitis and the Empower Fertility team are world-class. His expertise was evident from the first consultation, and his candid, confident manner was reassuring. The clinic is professional, communication is smooth, and the care is highly personalized. We are very grateful for his guidance and strongly recommend him.

    I cannot say enough good things about Empower. From the moment you enter the clinic, you feel their warm, welcoming atmosphere and encouragement. Olesya is one of the most compassionate healthcare professionals I have met, and she made the entire egg-freezing process remarkably easy. Empower follows a patient-centered approach and puts patient health and comfort first, which is truly rare. Dr. Rychlik is not only knowledgeable and confident but also reassuring throughout the process, allowing you to trust his care completely. Overall, the embryo-development process was much easier than I expected. I am incredibly grateful to have found Empower!

    I had a perfect experience here from start to finish and highly recommend it. Each staff member at the clinic made me feel comfortable and welcome. Olesya, who i worked with directly the most was kind, knowledgeable, and made me feel well taken care of. The facility is great and going through the procedure went without a hitch. Would highly recommend!

    我在 Empower Fertility 的冻卵体验非常棒。Dan 医生医术精湛，他组建了一支非常优秀的团队。初次咨询时，他们非常注重讲解，让我充分了解了所有需要的信息，让我能够充满信心地继续进行下一步，没有任何压力。Olesya 也非常出色，她既亲切又专业，整个过程中我都感受到了无微不至的关怀。他们以患者为先的精品服务理念体现得淋漓尽致。从前台的 Delilah 到取卵当天的整个手术团队，我都知道自己得到了最好的照顾。最终的结果远超我的预期，而且整个过程压力很小，副作用也极少。非常感谢整个团队！我真心希望将来有机会能用这些卵子生育，这样就能和他们有更多相处的时间了。

    Dr. Rychlik spent this initial visit criticizing the other fertility clinics in town & telling my daughter and her husband they had wasted their time and money on previous infertility care. He suggested she was psychologically damaged by the process and blamed her for not "having her head in the game." He also said if the IVF doesn't work, it would be her fault. Infertility is a difficult enough journey without adding a doctor's negativity and pomposity. Definitely not the doctor they would entrust with this delicate process.

    我在Empower的体验非常棒！Rychlik医生和Empower的整个团队在我整个生育过程中都给予了我极大的帮助。他们总是那么细心周到，而且知识渊博。Olesya医生负责我的复诊和B超检查，她真的太棒了！她让我感觉很放松，每次见到她都非常开心。我会毫不犹豫地推荐Empower Fertility，以后如果想要宝宝我还会选择他们！
