The Fertility Center: Knoxville, United States

I will always praise this fertility center. Thanks to them, I have two healthy, beautiful IVF babies 💕

They never respond to emails. I have sent four emails asking about a semen analysis because my wife and I are trying to conceive, but they completely ignore me. I have also seen other reviews saying they do not answer the phone.

Wonderful team! I have been receiving care here since 2024. Two couples I know strongly recommended them because we had difficulty conceiving. We thank God that we found this team. Everyone is approachable, helpful, kind, and caring. They took excellent care of my wife and me. We trusted them, followed their advice, and completed their process. We always felt welcome here. In January 2026, my wife and I welcomed a beautiful daughter. I highly recommend this center to any couple facing fertility difficulties. They will do everything they can to help couples achieve their dream of a complete family. I love this place and everyone here and cannot thank them enough. This is the best fertility center!

Infertility treatment is a long and difficult journey, but Dr. Donnely's office was extremely helpful throughout my care. I felt that they genuinely cared about me and were very attentive. What I appreciated most was seeing the same care team at every visit, which was important because my appointments were frequent. For more than a year, I felt as though I visited almost every week, yet even if I arrived early or late, I never waited more than a few minutes. I always saw the same receptionist, the same kind staff member who drew my blood, and the same excellent nurse who performed all my tests and ultrasounds. I only went to Chattanooga twice, once for egg retrieval and once for embryo transfer, which was much more convenient than traveling to Nashville. The clinic and staff there were also excellent. They use a portal for messages, test results, and other information, and they review and respond quickly. Even at night or on weekends, I felt they responded within six hours every time. They schedule your next appointment and post the instructions in the portal. Changing an appointment was never a problem. We completed two IUI cycles before trying IVF, and they were very helpful with those as well. Thanks to the Fertility Center, our IVF was successful, although it was still a stressful process. I am very grateful to every clinic staff member for supporting me through this challenging life experience. I recommend this fertility clinic to everyone, and I would definitely return if I ever needed IVF again. Update: I also found their IVF pricing more affordable than other options I researched. We purchased a package covering up to three egg retrievals and three embryo transfers to achieve one pregnancy, and it was an excellent value. Even though we needed only one cycle, the price was still very reasonable. We changed our embryo transfer decision at the last minute, and they were very helpful financially and treated us fairly. I believe Shirley in Chattanooga handles finances, and I felt she worked very hard to help patients however she could.

My experience here was absolutely wonderful! I had been looking forward to writing this review! At every visit, everyone was warm and friendly without exception. They were always kind and considerate and wanted us to become pregnant as much as we did. During those difficult days, we felt supported at every step. I am now writing this while holding my two-week-old baby. I once thought this day would never come. Thank you! I cannot wait to bring him in to meet the people who helped bring him into the world!

This place has truly been amazing. I have been through a hard journey, which I know none of this is easy for anyone, but the team has been so positive and loving and helpful towards me. The communication has been so crystal clear, and on top of that multiple people on staff have gone out of their way to check on me And message me during my journey. Dr. Donesky, Kristin, Alicia, Karen, Sydney, and everyone else at the Knoxville location has been just really gone above and beyond. Thank you to everyone making this difficult time a little less difficult.

My partner and I underwent two IUIs and two rounds of IVF under Dr. Donesky at Knoxville Fertility Center. Although the nursing and front desk staff were consistently kind and professional, I never felt fully confident in Dr. Donesky's care. He personally performed only one of my procedures, and I often felt he lacked the empathy and attentiveness that I consider essential in fertility treatment. After our first IVF cycle failed, we received no real answers, and the protocol was barely changed for the second attempt. We felt as though a template was being followed instead of receiving individualized care. One particular concern was Dr. Donesky's recommendation of “Juice Plus,” a multilevel marketing (MLM) supplement connected to someone in the office. No supporting research or medical evidence was presented. Such a recommendation felt inappropriate, especially in this sensitive, high-stakes setting. The journey itself was physically and emotionally exhausting, and unfortunately this clinic did not seem right for me. We subsequently decided to continue looking for another provider. This was my personal experience, and I know others may have different ones. I am sharing it to help people make informed decisions and sending baby dust to everyone navigating the path to parenthood.

Be sure to review the documents, ask about prices, and keep your receipts! They do poor work and do not communicate.

This Knoxville clinic is the best clinic I have encountered in the area. Everyone is friendly, kind, professional, and courteous. Receptionist Jan is very friendly and helpful. Laboratory technician Karen is also friendly and excellent at drawing blood. Nurse Alisha is kind and responds quickly to any question. Nurse Kristen is extremely knowledgeable, always explains the entire process and plan, helps with ultrasound monitoring, and answers questions quickly. Shelly on the financial team is the best and kindest person and makes everything as simple and smooth as possible. Prices are very reasonable and lower than elsewhere, while the services are even better and reflect the latest science. Dr. Donesky helped us greatly. He always finds ways to address difficult problems and makes everything simple, smooth, and successful. Every consultation with him left us hopeful and grateful. We never felt confused or lost hope because he always discussed the latest science, data, statistics, and research to give us the best chance of success. He never dismisses any patient. This Knoxville location looks small from outside, but it is a large facility where an excellent professional team works hard for many patients. They love their work and function together like a family. Thank you, Knoxville Fertility Center, for your help, excellent staff, and wonderful doctor.

Incredible staff and excellent service. I highly recommend them.

I had a good experience with the staff and doctor, although I strongly recommend that this office—and all fertility clinics—disclose the following warning. Warning for women taking Clomid: part of female fertility testing involves taking Clomid to trigger ovulation. I did not know that this increases the chance of an ectopic pregnancy. That is exactly what happened to me. At 8 weeks, I had emergency surgery at Park West and lost both the pregnancy and a fallopian tube. If I could do it again, I would skip trying to conceive during that particular cycle. Know your risks. https://academic.oup.com/biolreprod/article/80/6/1262/2557930

Nice and friendly staff.

The best fertility clinic. The entire team is friendly and knows what they are doing. I feel very safe with them. With God's help, I will begin treatment with them, confident that this time I will have my baby!
