    这绝对是我见过最差的机构。预约不准时,要求你在不了解具体流程的情况下就预付定金,组织混乱,极其不专业。而且他们居然还负责处理如此复杂的手术,真是太糟糕了。

    布朗医生和他的协调员切尔西在我整个备孕过程中都给予了我极大的帮助!我强烈推荐他们给所有正在备孕的姐妹们!他们沟通顺畅,医术精湛,而且非常体贴!他们会耐心解答你提出的任何问题!我预计一月份就能迎来我的女儿啦!

    除了汉娜·哈特之外,整个办公室里没有一个称职的人。电话也总是无人接听,既不回电,也不接,接了就挂断。 大约两年半前,他们让我做了基因检测,然后把化验结果寄到我医保网络外的一家医疗机构。我被收取了1500美元的费用,他们事先没有告知我寄送的化验单是哪家,而且这家机构不在我的医保网络内。之后我就停止了治疗,也决定不再使用布朗诊所的服务。 六个月前,我的妇产科医生给我丈夫开了一份免费的精液分析转诊单,我们决定再给他们一次机会。他们多次打电话来安排,我们也照做了,但后来家里出了急事,我们就取消了,告诉他们我们会再打电话预约。我们再次打电话过去,负责预约的人却争辩说我们没有转诊单,尽管他们之前一直打电话来催我们。我们解释了20分钟后,她才终于安排好了。 那天早上我们早早起床去赴约,结果他们给我们安排的是初次检查。尽管我有转诊证明,而且所有材料都齐全,他们还是再次就转诊单的问题争论不休。最后他们干脆打发我们走,说他可以去做化验,但费用问题得我们自己解决。整个过程压力巨大,以至于我丈夫连个样本都没法提供。 我们又一次去预约,他们还是不知道有转诊单,我们为此争论不休,直到汉娜介入帮忙,他们才恍然大悟。即便如此,他们仍然一头雾水。 他终于在预约那天做了化验。几天后,我们再次询问,他们说结果还没出来,需要初次检查后10-14天才能出结果。于是我打电话给我的妇产科医生,重新安排我的复诊时间,因为那次复诊需要我丈夫的化验结果。又过了3个半星期,仍然杳无音讯,我再次打电话过去,他们却说结果在他去复诊的当天就已经处理完毕了。浪费我的时间,明明结果一直都在,他们却无缘无故地重新安排预约。没人打电话通知我。 没人知道是怎么回事。我建议大家千万别去这家诊所。我遇到的全是问题。

    I am grateful every day for the joy our child has brought us. When we thought all hope was gone, Brown Fertility gave us hope and answers. Because of Brown Fertility, our dream of having a healthy, beautiful baby came true. Our little one's smiles and laughter fill each day with joy. I will always be grateful to the entire staff and wonderful doctors at Brown Fertility.

    Chelsea is the best. She is an active listener and acts on my needs. I wouldn’t want to go through this process with anyone else. ❤️ ~Tee

    Horrendous experience with Dr Brown. Constantly waiting 40 minutes for appointments, it’s clear they only see you as a number. Avoid, for sure.
    Apr 4, 2026
    I had an appointment with them, and they later rescheduled it online. I waited an hour and a half for the doctor. They sent me for laboratory tests, which I completed in November 2025, but it is now April 2026 and they have never contacted me. I tried calling, but the customer service staff were extremely rude and treated me like a fool.

    This clinic's finance department is appalling. Do not spend your money here. Find a more transparent and honest provider and entrust your hard-earned money to a more reputable clinic. There are several fertility clinics nearby. It has been 9 months since my last procedure, and this clinic still has not refunded my out-of-pocket payment even though my insurance covered most of the cost. They finally responded only after I repeatedly requested an itemized bill, and even then the response was vague. I believe this clinic is a complete scam that exploits women who desperately want children and will pay any price. I would never recommend this clinic to anyone.

    Words cannot express my gratitude to the clinical team at Brown Fertility. From the beginning, we felt their unwavering support, attentive care, and sincere empathy. Their guidance made every step feel purposeful and manageable. Kristin, Dr. Brown, and Mikel Jean were outstanding. They were thorough, knowledgeable, and exceptionally patient, always answering every question, large or small. They made a potentially overwhelming process feel manageable and supportive. From egg retrieval through testing and transfer, we felt cared for throughout. Their communication, attention to detail, and emotional support were invaluable. I would recommend this clinical team again and again without hesitation. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had such a professional team beside us during this important journey.

    I appreciate hearing good news about new mothers, but my wife and I had a very different experience. Dr. Brown did not seem to genuinely care about us from beginning to end. He was 40 minutes late and did not communicate with us or try to identify the cause and possible options. Instead, he rushed through the visit in 5 minutes and said that if we paid, he was certain treatment would work. My results, as the male partner, were unclear. He said, “I’ve never seen this before, but I’m not concerned. The problem is clearly with my wife. Just pay, and the problem will be solved.” I had never felt like a transaction with a doctor until meeting Dr. Brown. Congratulations to the woman in the other review, but our experience was entirely different. Dr. Brown, please treat people as patients, not transactions. You were a great disappointment. I do not usually write reviews, but this is important, and I believe others should hear our experience. Never be afraid to seek a second opinion!

    I had a very poor experience with Brown Fertility, and I believe others should know about it. There were many hidden fees. The doctor did not seem to care about me. After each cycle, I had to wait a month to see the doctor, who was more than an hour late to every appointment. At several critical points in my IVF cycle, the doctor was unavailable and no substitute physician was assigned. This meant I could not obtain medical guidance when important decisions were needed about continuing the cycle. The staff could not provide that guidance, and I ultimately had to cancel the cycle. Our IVF nurse made many mistakes involving medication, testing, and other matters. The financial handling afterward was also deeply concerning. I signed a fee schedule exceeding $16000. After canceling the cycle, I received written confirmation listing the specific cancellation charges and expected refund. When the check arrived, however, it was short by several thousand dollars. Despite repeated follow-up over several months, I never received a clear explanation or resolution. I also found an error in my records stating that the cycle had been canceled because of a spontaneous pregnancy. This was untrue and very upsetting to see. After repeated unsuccessful attempts to resolve these matters directly with the clinic, I filed formal complaints and initiated court proceedings. This experience caused tremendous emotional and financial stress. I hope the clinic improves physician coverage, communication, and consistency in its financial processes so other patients do not have similar experiences.

    I had a wonderful experience at Brown Fertility and am truly grateful. A little about my situation: I have lean PCOS and irregular ovulation, so becoming pregnant was not easy. I first tried two IUIs, which were unsuccessful, though I understood that IUI success rates are limited. A few months later, I prepared to try IVF and met Dr. Brown. Based on my history and age, he told me he believed I could become pregnant. He was sincere, not trying to persuade me, and that was very reassuring. From the first visit, I felt cared for and supported. He even gave me his phone number so I could contact him with questions, which meant a great deal. Soon afterward, I began my IVF cycle. At every ultrasound and appointment, I felt valued and cared for. The entire team was kind and efficient, and I never had trouble scheduling appointments or receiving the help I needed. My first fresh cycle was successful, and today I am pregnant with my first baby 🤍 I especially want to thank Kristin Giudice, who performed my egg retrieval and transfer. She was very gentle and compassionate and made me feel completely at ease. She could not attend my first ultrasound in person, but still made time to join us by video call and share that moment. I will never forget it. She truly made this experience special. Honestly, I feel spoiled because I have now transferred to my OB-GYN and hope to receive the same high-quality care wherever I go. I sincerely hope everyone who comes to Brown Fertility experiences the same care. I truly felt God’s love through the people there. I am deeply grateful to everyone at the clinic, from the front desk and nurses to the entire team. You made such an important moment in my life feel safe, supported, and even beautiful.

    This was the worst experience I have ever had. All the nurses discussed what we might try next time even though the current cycle was not over. Worse, they owe me a refund and now say I must wait 60 to 180 business days to receive it. This clinic only makes a difficult situation worse. I strongly advise everyone to stay away.

    Everyone here is wonderful. They treat me kindly and respectfully every time I visit.

    We are beyond grateful for the incredible care and support we received from Brown Fertility. After welcoming our beautiful baby boy, we can truly say this journey would not have been possible without their exceptional team. The nurses, coordinators, and physicians all went above and beyond to make us feel confident and supported, celebrating milestones right alongside us. Their attention to detail, communication, and encouragement gave us so much peace throughout our journey. Holding our baby boy now is a daily reminder of the hope and dedication Brown Fertility provides to families. We will forever be thankful for their role in helping make our dream come true and wholeheartedly recommend Brown Fertility to anyone navigating infertility or fertility treatment. Huge shoutout to Dr. Shah, Chelsea our IVF coordinator, Teena Pasion and Kristen Giudice who did most of our procedures, Pedro at the front desk and Dr Brown for their tremendous care.

    I am deeply grateful to the team at Brown Fertility. God worked through this team in such a beautiful way to help me through this journey. Dr. Rafael Cabreras and Dr. Samuel Brown provided exceptional medical care with great expertise, attentiveness, and patience, while Tayane Lemes was always kind, helpful, and supportive. Today I am holding my miracle baby, and I will always be grateful to Brown Fertility for helping me fulfill my dream of becoming a mother. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone on a fertility journey; you will receive loving, professional, and compassionate care.

    Edited to add (2025): Overall, two years later I can confirm we’ve still had a great experience with Brown fertility. They are a big operation, so it can take a minute to get through but they do care. From the nurses to the doctors, other providers, receptionists and billing, folks are kind and want to guide you along. We had a successful egg retrieval and a successful embryo transfer (currently an active, healthy adorable 1.5 yo). We’ve since gone back to try treatments again and faced some challenges. We made an appointment with Dr. Brown (switched from Dr. Duffy who is phenomenal as well due to location) to check in and he took his time to answer all questions carefully as we head into this next round. I’m confident in our choice with them and feel very lucky to be patients here. All the nurses and staff are great, but big shout out to Christine who’s always been as helpful and informative as possible. Best of luck if you’re reading this to research for your own journey. Original Post (2023): We've been working with the clinic for about 2 months for reciprocal IVF and we've had a really nice experience thus far. It's been pretty easy to get things scheduled. Whenever we've had an issue or questions, they have been incredibly responsive to calls for information or scheduling. The office staff are all very compassionate from medical to admin to finance. The pricing is pretty transparent and reasonable. Our provider is Dr. Duffy but it does seem like you may see different folks if that fits your schedule best. We have only had great interactions with folks thus far, especially Dr. Duffy, Tallymarie, and Nashari from the Tampa office. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fertility clinic.

    This is definitely the best fertility clinic in Florida. They do an outstanding job.

    Words cannot express how grateful I am to this fertility clinic. Thanks to their excellent team, I am now a mother. Every staff member made me feel supported, well informed, and genuinely cared for. Each appointment was reassuring; they never rushed and always explained every step patiently and thoroughly. Dr. Brown and the other doctors were highly professional, the nurses were kind and attentive, and the front desk team was always warm and welcoming. I will always be grateful for the care I received here. This clinic changed my life, and I would recommend it to anyone hoping to build a family. 💛

    I want to say that she helped me tremendously. Thank you, Chelsea. She was always available to answer all my questions and help me throughout this long process. It is wonderful to have someone work with you toward your goal. I would recommend her to everyone I can think of.

    Mackenzie at check, Brittany at triage and Mikel for the consult are an amazing team! Each one of them were professional, bright and knowledgeable.
    Nov 12, 2025
    Dr. Brown is simply a scammer. We paid nearly $3,000 for IUI and were told the fee included three attempts. The first failed, and when my wife called to schedule the second, they said we needed to pay another $1,750. My wife was furious. I essentially spent more than $5,000 trying to conceive and got nothing but bills. Find another doctor—Brown Fertility is definitely not a good choice.
    Nov 22, 2025
    I paid in full, but they keep emailing me saying I have not paid.

    I had an exceptional experience before Ivey and after IBS. I have 10-year-old twin boys from my first pregnancy and a 5-year-old daughter. The staff treats you like family, supporting and guiding you through every step. A fertility journey can be frightening, but with them you do not feel afraid. Dr. Brown was my doctor at every visit, and all the doctors, nurses, and even front-desk staff were wonderful. I strongly recommend Brown Fertility, whether or not you are Christian. They treat you like family and hold your hand through the journey, so you never feel alone, discouraged, or defeated. They are a blessing.
    Oct 29, 2025
    I love Brown Fertility. Our first treatment there succeeded, and we now have a healthy, beautiful daughter. They took excellent care of us and answered every question and concern thoroughly and honestly, making us feel safe and comfortable. We therefore decided to return for a second treatment.
    Oct 30, 2025
    I decided to transfer clinics, but Brown Fertility still has not refunded an overpayment from earlier visits, which I discovered myself. Obtaining my medical records was a nightmare. I would not recommend this clinic because of its lack of professionalism and the feeling that I was only a number. Update: During testing, the front desk told us an unnecessary self-pay genetic screen would cost $350, but we have now received a bill for over $2300. They also said my insurance covered my costs, yet I received the same bill. This is a scam.
    Oct 31, 2025
    If you enjoy last-minute appointment cancellations or changes, this is the place for you! Communication is also nonexistent. They were an hour late, and no one answered the phone—not a manager or anyone connected with your doctor!!!
    Oct 31, 2025
    Dr. Brown and his entire clinic team are excellent, and I would definitely choose them again. At my first visit, Dr. Brown carefully reviewed genetic testing from years earlier, when its link to infertility was unclear, and noted that I needed an additional medication to prevent neural-tube defects. He believed the findings could be significant and prescribed the highest IVF medication dose to offset their effects. We achieved a rare 100% egg-to-embryo conversion rate, although I had very few eggs remaining at age 30. Their embryologist is among the best in the world. Our first fresh embryo transfer resulted in our baby boy. He is now 6 months old, and we are scheduling another visit to transfer our remaining frozen embryos. Everyone, from reception to nurses and nurse practitioners, was excellent. They reassured me, helped me understand conception, and answered every question with exceptional expertise. All glory to God; we praise Him for bringing Dr. Brown to Jacksonville.

    When I say Brown Fertility changed our lives, I mean it with all my heart. After years of prayer and longing, and countless tears through difficult days, God led us here. From the first consultation, we felt seen, heard, and genuinely cared for—not only as patients, but as people with real dreams and hurting hearts. The IVF process can feel overwhelming and lonely, but the doctors and staff at Brown Fertility were a light. Their wisdom and compassion reminded us that we were not alone. We prayed for a miracle, and through their knowledge and God's grace, we now have the most beautiful answer to our prayers—our precious baby girl. We are now trying for our second miracle, and we trust no one but Dr. Brown and his team. Every injection, every early morning, and every moment of doubt was worth it a thousand times over. Brown Fertility gave us more than medical care—they gave us hope when our dream felt out of reach and helped lead us toward one of life's greatest blessings. If you are reading this and wondering whether it is possible, let me encourage you: do not give up. A team here will fight for you, stand beside you, and believe with you. Our little girl is living proof. With gratitude, Jesse, Beffy, and our sweet miracle daughter Lula

    I would recommend Brown Fertility to anyone struggling to conceive on their own. Every man and woman faces different fertility obstacles. In my experience, our goals and how to achieve them were clear from the beginning. The staff was wonderful. I especially want to thank Teena Pasion and Jennie Waldrep! Ms. Teena, your care, attention, and warmth truly changed my entire view of Brown Fertility. I may have been just another hopeful woman walking into the clinic, but our candid conversations about this journey and life deeply moved me! Jennie, during my FET, you always replied promptly to my emails and answered the 101 questions I asked. I am sure you receive countless emails and silly questions every hour, and I know I had some silly ones, but you were always practical and never made me feel like a bother. Thank you! Dr. Brown, you helped us on our second FET! Please continue being knowledgeable, focused, and passionate; your work is outstanding! I have read reviews saying your bedside manner is not good, but anyone who thinks that can kick rocks! I do not need you to hold my hand and discuss life and feelings. I need you to get straight to the point, and you did! Thank you!!!!

    The doctors are very irresponsible. My bloodwork showed an abnormal thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level, but no one mentioned it. A year later, after I moved to Dallas, a doctor reviewed my previous records and was shocked that no doctor at Brown Fertility had ever raised the issue. The front desk is very disorganized. They chat while checking patients in and entered someone's information incorrectly. Why did four people need to work together to correct one person's information? Check-in alone took 15 minutes. I have now waited an hour and still have not been called. I will not trust an organization this inefficient again.
    Oct 13, 2025
    My gynecologist initially referred me to Dr. Brown for a myomectomy. Dr. Brown was very kind. He answered all my questions, made me feel welcome, and provided first-rate care. My only dissatisfaction was with the front desk and other staff. You must advocate for yourself, or you may not get scheduled and could end up paying much more out of pocket, even with good insurance. I was initially told my insurance would not cover the surgery and that I had to pay out of pocket. After contacting my insurer, I learned that it was covered. During my first few appointments, no one seemed able to schedule me by phone. I repeatedly called scheduling and was always told, ‘Unfortunately, I cannot help, but I will email another member of my team.’ After considerable back-and-forth, I was finally scheduled. Several times, it seemed they did not know I was coming or did not have me on the schedule, and I had to show them an email on my phone confirming that I had an appointment that day. Overall, the facility is fine, but I must emphasize again that you need to advocate for yourself. Otherwise, you may not get appointments and could pay far more out of pocket than necessary.

    This was my worst experience with this company. Communication is poor, and there is a lack of understanding.
    Sep 23, 2025
    I waited two months for a telehealth appointment with Dr. Brown, but more than an hour after the scheduled time, the call still had not started. I called the clinic, and they asked when I would begin. I told them to cancel it because we would go somewhere that respected my time. They then said I would owe a cancellation fee, which is absurd. If I were an hour late, the doctor would not see me, but the doctor can be as late as they want. Customer service does not exist here.

    My fiancé and I had been trying to conceive for four years. After countless heartbreaks and attempts, we decided to try IVF this year. We are so grateful we did because we are finally expecting our miracle baby! I had my first IVF cycle on June 24 and am now 12 weeks pregnant. Words cannot describe our joy, all thanks to Dr. Brown and his entire staff! Kristin helped me through all my procedures, and I especially want to thank her. She was so kind and genuine and truly wonderful to have throughout the process. I would recommend this clinic to everyone!

    Stay away! This place feels like a scam and resembles a car dealership for health and conception. I booked ahead and paid $65. Afterward, an employee called and read a sales script listing tests they wanted, continuing even after I expressed discomfort. Two months later, I received another $170 bill, although the website listed a $150 self-pay visit. They billed insurance $300, of which less than half was covered. Billing then claimed self-pay was $175 while the website still said $150. Search their reviews on fertility websites; I wish I had. The stories are frightening. This clinic should be ashamed and exemplifies our healthcare crisis. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere.
    Jun 3, 2025
    This one-star rating is solely for their billing department. I was fortunate to conceive naturally before starting extensive treatment. I told the staff in February that I had conceived naturally, and they said processing would take 4-6 weeks. I followed up in April/May and was told my account had not yet been processed but they were working on it. It is now June, and I still have not received my refund. Now they tell me I must wait for the June refund board before they can update me. I do not understand what that has to do with me. The contract I signed says 4-6 weeks. When it was time for me to pay, I paid promptly. Now I feel as though I am being punished for conceiving naturally.
    Jun 26, 2025
    Well, this was our first visit, and they did not tell my wife that her insurance would not cover anything, so they wanted me to pay the full amount upfront. After we drove three hours, some advance notice would have been appreciated.

    As a traveling patient receiving detailed IVF monitoring, I must admit that describing Brown Fertility as merely "excellent" does not capture the depth of its distinction. This institution demonstrates a level of clinical and interpersonal mastery that goes beyond conventional medical practice. I benefited greatly from the privilege of consulting directly with Dr. Brown. With the precision of a diagnostic expert and the candor of a trusted confidant, he described his ultrasound findings, developed a strategic roadmap for my fertility journey, and, in an act I can only describe as academic generosity, referred me to a specialist for my upcoming procedure. His consultation was a masterful blend of extensive knowledge and empathy. This is more than a clinic offering IVF monitoring and fertility treatment; it is a center where reproductive medicine is practiced with uncompromising rigor, intellectual generosity, and profound humanity. They redefined my expectations of what true healthcare can and should be.
    Jul 4, 2025
    After 12 unsuccessful cycles trying to conceive our first child, I contacted Brown Fertility. From the first phone call, I felt supported and cared for. Every step, from the initial information appointment through all the testing, the consultation with Dr. Brown, and planning our first IUI, was handled with exceptional care. Fertility challenges are extremely sensitive and emotional, and everyone I interacted with here understood that. Hearing "This is not your fault," along with clear, fact-based explanations, was incredibly reassuring and empowering. I am very nervous about anything medical, especially new procedures. From bloodwork to the HSG, every nurse went above and beyond to comfort and reassure me. I never felt rushed; quite the opposite. I spent about an hour in the office at every appointment, had every question answered in detail, and left with a clear plan. The team's consistent follow-up ensured that I felt confident and comfortable about each next step, which meant so much to me. Although I cannot yet predict the outcome, I am very pleased with my experience so far. If you are considering fertility care, I sincerely recommend Brown Fertility and Dr. Brown. They have filled this challenging journey with hope and support.

    If you have diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) or premature ovarian failure (POF), do not go to this clinic. Dr. Cabrera was appalling and actually laughed at me when I wanted to try using my own eggs. He told me I had a zero chance of success and that donor eggs were the only option. Guess what? At 39, I became pregnant with my own eggs thanks to the excellent Reproductive Science Center in Marlton, New Jersey. Do not go to this clinic! Do not see Dr. Cabrera! He should not be practicing medicine. He is one of the coldest, most ignorant people I have ever met. He should be ashamed of how he treats people at their most vulnerable.
    Nov 11, 2024
    Thanks to Brown Fertility, we brought home a baby girl this week after trying to conceive for 8 years. For years, I opposed IVF because I feared the emotional and financial strain. I thought the chance of success was low and did not want to go through it. I eventually met a fertility specialist, Dr. Brown, who was very optimistic about our chances with IVF. At first, I wondered whether he was overly optimistic, but I decided to trust him and try. I am grateful I did! As Dr. Brown predicted, I became pregnant after our first embryo transfer. IVF is difficult, and communication during the process could honestly have been better, but I am still very glad we chose Brown Fertility Center. Thank you so much to Dr. Brown, Kevin the embryologist, Dr. Caminero, Chelsea the IVF coordinator, and all the nurses who helped us along the way!

    These people are scammers. They canceled my appointment and then refused to refund me. After fighting with them, they finally agreed to refund me after 4 months. When they eventually sent the check, it was for half the amount. I am suing them. Never use this place.
    Dec 1, 2024
    I would not recommend Brown Fertility to anyone with a pulse. If I had to describe this place in one word, it would be sketchy. I do not know how they operate. I would not trust this place with medical care and am glad we ultimately did not pursue IVF with them. Fortunately, they made too many mistakes before we began a cycle. For example, emailed questions received incomplete answers. When I called to schedule a saline ultrasound, I had to call for five or six consecutive days and was repeatedly told our “doctor was out of town and would return tomorrow.” They promised to call back but never did, so I had to take time away from work daily to follow up. Several expired licenses/certificates were posted on the wall, including at least one from the health department. When I pointed this out, a staff member said they had never posted the new ones. One day, my husband and I both left work early and drove across town for a confirmed appointment, only to be told there was no appointment and they could not fit us in. When we finally met the doctor and raised our concerns again, she looked at my husband in military uniform and said, “We trust you understand that mistakes happen all the time in the military.” What? After that visit, we left for another local clinic, the best decision we made. When I requested my records from Brown, I emailed and called repeatedly with no response and threatened to report them to Health and Human Services for violating HIPAA, which requires facilities to provide records within 30 days. I filed a complaint after not receiving them within 30 days. When I told Brown, I almost immediately received an email with my records and an apology. Reviewing them, I found my saline ultrasound report was signed by a provider I had never met rather than the person who performed it. Today, nearly a year after leaving Brown, we received notice that our personal information there had been exposed in a data breach. Imagine that! Unfortunately for Brown, the letter reminded me that I had forgotten to leave this review. I know three others who started at Brown and had similarly negative experiences. Things felt wrong from the beginning. I expect communication, timeliness, and professionalism from any healthcare provider. IVF is difficult enough, and Brown only makes it more stressful. Do not go here! I would give negative 5 stars if possible.

    I met Dr. Brown at age 39, and within months of my first IVF transfer, I was pregnant. Based on my health and data, he believed I would conceive, and he was right! In June 2023, we welcomed a healthy baby boy. I had a normal pregnancy without delivery complications. Soon afterward, we returned to discuss a second child. He again believed our chances were excellent, so we had an FET, and I am currently pregnant with a healthy baby at age 41! For our first child, I completed the entire process in Jacksonville. It was straightforward, and the doctors and nurses treated me like a queen. The second time, I lived out of state, making things more complicated, but the nurses were absolutely wonderful. They ensured I had every medication, order, date, fax number, and more. They promptly answered my countless emails and never seemed annoyed by my questions. My husband and I recommend Brown Fertility Center to anyone considering a fertility clinic. We are deeply grateful for their hard work and miracles!

    I am tired of this clinic. I had an embryo transfer in July, and it failed. I have one embryo left that needed to be biopsied immediately after the fresh transfer failed. Nearly two months later, the PGT laboratory still has not received the sample. Once they learned I would not complete my next IVF cycle with them, they treated me as though they did not care. I will not contact you again. If you want to keep my frozen embryo and not do what you should, fine. I will find another clinic willing to help.

    I am disappointed with this place. I visited once, and they said my insurance did not apply. I paid $150 for the appointment. I made no other appointment or arrangement, yet since that day they have emailed saying I owe a bill. The bill is unbelievable because I signed no contract and scheduled no further visit.

    I am 36 and struggled with infertility for three years. Brown identified the problem and gave us the best next steps. We conceived after our third IUI and expect our miracle in less than five months.

    IVF is stressful, but Dr. Brown and his staff are wonderful and work to make the process as simple as possible. Dr. Brown is very busy, but he makes time to meet patients who want to see him personally. The nurses and ARNPs are also excellent and always available to answer my questions. IVF can be emotionally exhausting, but it is reassuring to have a supportive medical team like Dr. Brown and his staff guiding you through the process. After multiple miscarriages, Dr. Brown helped me create the little miracle I am holding while updating this review.

    I am still waiting for the required lab orders so I can be added to the September transfer list. There have been repeated delays and no real answers. Dr. Shah told me in July that everything could be completed by the end of August for a September transfer, but now I have been told it may not happen until October. All documents are signed and I have done everything I can, yet I am still waiting. This could have been finished in mid-July, but billing caused another problem. I was told they would run my insurance and someone would contact me to schedule. Days later, my insurance still had not been processed, so I paid $150 out of pocket. Progyny found that I should not have paid for services covered by my plan, which they would have known if they had processed the insurance promptly. Worse, I am now delayed because the nurse who conducted my FET teaching is very busy with retrievals this week, so I may have to wait until October to transfer. If insurance is the issue, I can pay out of pocket and submit it myself. The required testing/genetic testing for my spouse and me relates to embryos already created, but no new orders have been made. That is fine; I can complete it as soon as the orders arrive. Now I am waiting for a return call, and I have already waited a long time. Update 8/8: No return call, but the issue is mostly resolved for now, so one is no longer needed. Update 8/9: Things are finally moving. I may be able to complete everything this week, including labs and arranging to move my embryos, although the transfer between facilities will happen next week. The ball is now in my court. Thankfully, the kind people at the embryo storage company are working to get my embryos where they need to go so I can transfer in September—they are putting my babies with the courier :). The lab company said they can come to draw my blood and couriered the kit as well. I appreciate these companies' support and hope Brown Fertility will cooperate once everything is completed on time. No more delays and no more excuses.

    Do not waste your time! I arrived 15 minutes early for a consultation with Dr. Caminero, prepaid $150, and waited nearly an hour past my appointment time. The doctor never appeared. Before this appointment, I visited two other doctors' offices to prepare paper records and arranged childcare so I could attend. Their disregard for patients' time is infuriating and unacceptable. I am still waiting for my refund. Also, the Tallahassee location is inside another gynecologist's office at TMH/the hospital and is not clearly marked as Brown Fertility—there is no sign at all. It is confusing, hard to find, and you must pay for parking. I will return to FIRM and Dr. Winslow. They are organized, helpful, and respectful of patients. I only wanted another perspective based on my primary care doctor's recommendation, but I regret even seeking a second opinion from this office. Update: After 10 days, I still had not received my $150 consultation refund. I called again, and their billing team said it had never been processed. This place is an absolute mess.

    I had been a patient at Brown Fertility since October 2022, and my final appointment was April 16, 2024. The clinical staff genuinely care about their patients, but I am not sure Dr. Brown and his financial managers do. Because paperwork submitted to my insurer in June 2023 was incorrect, my claim was denied while I was in the middle of a cycle. I had already been a patient for eight months, receiving regular treatment and following their policies. When the initial claim was denied, I was told I would be removed from the cycle unless I immediately paid the $8,000 balance. I begged for two weeks to appeal to insurance, but they refused and gave me five days. I paid $8K, and insurance approved the claim a week later. I then began requesting a refund. Brown Fertility refused, saying they had to wait until all insurance claims were paid before starting the process. We kept returning after several failed transfers. A transfer finally succeeded in March 2024, and we conceived twins—the only reason they received 2 stars instead of 1. After my final appointment on April 17, 2024, I called to ask when the refund process could begin. They again said after all insurance claims were paid. The remaining procedure charges were under $200, while they owed me more than $6,500. On May 1, 2024, I was told all claims had been paid and they would process the refund, although their policy allows 90–120 business days. I called again in June after hearing nothing and asked to speak with a manager to expedite it. They said absolutely no one would call. I called again in July and was told the previous manager no longer worked there, but they assured me the refund would begin immediately and I would receive a check by August 20. When nothing arrived on the 20th, I called again and was told there was no record of my July call and the refund had not begun. Three months after all claims were paid in full, it still had not started. I was then told my refund would be completed in mid-September once the doctor signed the check and that another manager would call me. That was yesterday, and still nothing. I would not recommend Brown Fertility to anyone. Although they often get results, they create more stress and heartache than a fertility clinic should. I also had appointments changed, moved, or not put on the calendar at all. You are just a number, moved in and out like cattle. Unless you have the first appointment of the day, be prepared to wait, and hope you do not have a noon appointment or you may wait hours past the scheduled time. You must pay in full before being placed on their calendar, and then you have to fight to get your money back. Good luck to anyone who goes there.
