BostonIVF Fertility Success

Different providers define fertility success in different ways.

At BostonIVF, we believe a healthy delivery is an important measure of a fertility center's true success.

With more than 125,000 babies born since 1986, BostonIVF's success rates and experience speak for themselves.

 

BostonIVF Embryology Science

Embryo development is essential to fertility success for people who have experienced miscarriage, unsuccessful IVF cycles, age-related infertility, or who simply want the best chance of a positive outcome.

The technology and extensive experience of the BostonIVF laboratory give patients a greater chance of pregnancy and delivery.

In addition, BostonIVF's advanced PGT-A and PGT-M genetic testing has been shown to improve success rates, reduce miscarriage, prevent inherited conditions from being passed on to future children, and shorten the overall time needed to achieve pregnancy.

BostonIVF Fertility “Firsts”

BostonIVF is one of the most influential leaders in reproductive medicine.

BostonIVF physicians and scientists are responsible for many “firsts” in fertility care.

BostonIVF's “firsts” include:

• New England's first IVF/ICSI pregnancy

• New England's first donor egg pregnancy

• Massachusetts' first birth from a frozen egg

    This review is for Dr. Ataman. She is a poor doctor and an even worse person. I do not understand why she became a fertility doctor when she seems to dislike her patients. We met her only once before having to change fertility providers. She was clearly distracted and eager to end the appointment, even though she was ten minutes late. When I tried to ask a question mid-conversation, she became angry and said, “I haven't finished. Wait until I am done before asking.” If she wanted the conversation to follow a specific structure, she could have explained that beforehand instead of scolding me. We had scheduled surgery after the consultation, but I did not trust her because asking questions seemed to upset her, so we ultimately changed clinics. She did not create an environment where I felt safe asking questions. I was left with many concerns and did not believe she would care for me properly during surgery. Her profile says, “I treat every patient and family I meet with kindness and respect as my core values.” That is laughable. She is not only a poor doctor but also entirely lacking in self-awareness. Avoid this clinic and this doctor. You will leave frustrated and hopeless.

    I just saw another doctor, and I am furious with Boston IVF. Aside from the nurses' idiotic jokes, they told me I had 11 follicles and canceled my treatment. My new clinic says they need 9-10. Other reviews say they performed retrievals for patients with only 8 eggs. The new doctor who reviewed my case said much more could have been done. Boston IVF told me to give up and adopt. During ultrasound, a nurse explained how they saw the follicles and tried to reassure me that things were working. On cycle day two, their doctor instructed me to come in, but the nurse said I was not due until the next day. I had to explain that my period began the previous morning, making yesterday day one and today the day after. If you cannot count, you should not be a nurse. In addition to all the other costs, I had to prepay for all medication. After the cycle was canceled, they said I could donate $7,000 worth of medication back to the facility. This is predatory. They are not there to help you. I might have had a chance. Now, after moving and finding a new doctor, I am trying again, but my condition has worsened. Boston IVF may have cost me my chance.

    Go anywhere but here. They completely lack compassion and treat you like a number. I know they often see poor outcomes, but their negativity was astonishing. Simply because my hCG was at the lower end of the normal range, although it was doubling appropriately, I was told it could go either way and they ordered a methotrexate panel just in case. They caused a great deal of unnecessary anxiety throughout my pregnancy. I now have a very healthy 3-month-old.

    Thanks to the kind and supportive teams at Boston IVF Providence and Waltham, I finally brought home my rainbow baby after 5 years of trying. From the moment I met Dr. Bayer, he listened to my concerns and was the first doctor to show compassion for my situation. He even presented my case to the board for additional opinions. Although I was reluctant to use donor eggs, he assured me this would improve my chance of bringing home a living baby. I am so glad I listened because I am now looking at my 3-month-old. Every nurse, phlebotomist, and ultrasound technician cared about my progress, and I am grateful I transferred to this clinic. If you are considering the next step toward pregnancy, do not hesitate. Dr. Bayer is now retired, but the other doctors provide excellent personalized care. Thank you so much for helping me become the mother of this miracle!

    Do not go here. The staff are completely rude and insincere, especially during such a difficult time for any couple facing infertility. When we told Boston IVF we were leaving, they did not care because they treat you like a number rather than a person. The billing department is unethical and told us they could not work with our insurance because it was "too picky." Their records are poorly maintained, and the place is very disorganized. This was at the Brookline/Chestnut Hill location.

    I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and was trying to determine the next steps for possibly freezing my eggs. I called and left a message. Someone returned the call and said they would call me the next day, but I never heard from them again. She was very rushed and rude on the phone. They are clearly busy, and as a healthcare worker I understand that, but no one should be made to feel this way during a difficult period in life. I will not go here or recommend it to anyone.

    Although my overall experience with Boston IVF was not good, I want to begin by saying that the nurses, phlebotomists, and sonographers I worked with were wonderful: 5 stars. Stephanie, Kristen, and Kendra, thank you for making a difficult journey easier. I was referred to Boston IVF in fall 2022. At my initial consultation, Dr. Vaughan told me IVF was unlikely to work and I might need donor eggs. This was delivered without compassion before we had attempted any treatment, leaving me shocked. Over the following months, I spoke with Dr. Vaughan 3 times. In 2 of those conversations, I felt like nothing more than a number. Only during our third and final conversation did I feel he truly listened and saw me as more than a statistic. We completed two cycles. Both failed or were canceled, and no eggs were retrieved. The first time, I was told my follicles were empty; the second time, I simply did not respond to medication. In June 2023, I sought a second opinion from Dr. Penzias at Boston IVF's Waltham location. Although he delivered the message more compassionately, it was essentially the same: the chance of this working for you is very low. By then, I had begun noticing gaps in the information I received. For example, Dr. Penzias said he woke every morning hoping to find a solution to infertility, yet he knew nothing about the extensive research on red-light therapy and fertility in Denmark and Japan or similar countries. A machine is now in Boston, one of only eight in the country. About a week before meeting Dr. Penzias, I consulted Dr. Check at the Cooper Institute in Pennsylvania. His approach was unconventional, but he believed I could become pregnant. When I asked Dr. Penzias about these methods, he referred to the "false hope" offered by the doctor and was generally dismissive of Dr. Check's approach. I felt more positive about working with Dr. Check, given his optimism about my chances, and stopped working with Boston IVF. A year later, I brought my newborn home. Contrary to what the Boston IVF doctors said, I did not need donor eggs or even IVF to conceive her. I am deeply grateful that I found Dr. Check. He treated me with kindness and compassion, his approach was very effective, and I did not follow Boston IVF's advice. Boston IVF physicians would benefit from learning more about his methods to better help the "poor responders" they see and avoid unnecessarily recommending donor eggs and high-stimulation cycles.
