    我唯一的遗憾就是没有早点去Positive Steps。我在镇上另一家诊所待了将近两年,情况却每况愈下,直到我最终决定换一家诊所。Amanda在一个月内就找到了我们不孕的原因,并进行了治疗,现在我已经怀孕10周了。 之前有人跟我说Positive Steps的收费可能比较高,但实际上他们的诊断测试和人工授精(IUI)费用与其他诊所一样,而且所有工作人员都对我非常友好。 我非常感谢Positive Steps的每一个人,我会把他们推荐给所有正在为不孕不育而苦恼的人。

    Just 7 months ago, we were diagnosed with MFI, and everything felt so uncertain. From the very start, Positive Steps welcomed us with open arms. Not once did they make us feel like this wasn’t possible, they truly believed we would have our baby. Fast forward to February 2nd, we began our first IUI cycle with only 3.6 million sperm and 60% motility. Two weeks later… we got our positive. Our miracle baby 🤍 Yesterday, we graduated from Positive Steps, and I am now 10 weeks pregnant with our sweet baby. It’s such a bittersweet moment because I will miss them so much. This post isn’t just to praise their incredible facility,every single staff member is kind, supportive, and makes you feel truly cared for every step of the way. It’s also for anyone out there holding onto even the smallest bit of hope… Don’t give up. Give them a call. Give yourself the chance to have your heart filled in ways you never imagined ❤️

    I suggest sitting down and reading this review carefully. Let us go back to 2022. After several rounds of Clomid and letrozole, I was referred to Dr. Parry, who was said to be highly skilled. Dr. Parry and his team performed a Parryscope and said both my fallopian tubes were completely blocked. He recommended skipping IUI and proceeding directly to IVF. I wanted mini-IVF, but he rejected my request because he said I would not produce enough embryos. Because of the blocked tubes and cost, I went to another doctor in Dallas for IVF. Incidentally, I produced six beautiful embryos. Fast-forward to February 24, 2026. After three failed IVF cycles, no hope, and two remaining embryos I did not yet want to use, I wanted one final attempt to see whether I could conceive naturally. I pleaded with every doctor to recheck my tubes and look for other issues until I finally found one willing to do so. My tubes were not blocked at all! I was stunned. Dr. Parry's supposedly remarkable ‘Parryscope’ had convinced me that this was a new approach to fertility treatment and management. What a joke. For years I trusted him and his team and believed my tubes were blocked and IVF was necessary. I wasted so much money on IVF I never needed. I regret seeing Dr. Parry and spending money on his ridiculous Parryscope. I lost so much time because I relied on a system that was flawed from the start. Do not go to this clinic or this doctor. Think twice and go elsewhere. Absolutely not recommended!

    This amazing group of women and Dr. Parry changed our lives. From consultation through graduation, I always felt supported, safe, and cared for. They respected my decisions while offering guidance and made me feel like an old friend rather than a patient. I wish all my care could remain here forever. Thank you so much for helping us have our baby and for your constant support and encouragement. I highly recommend them!

    PSF is absolutely amazing. From the first time we walked through their doors, they treated my husband and me like family. We are so grateful that they helped us build our little family. I will always be thankful.

    My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Positive Steps Fertility in Shreveport. After trying to conceive naturally and using local resources for several years, we received treatment at Positive Steps for less than a year. Within that time, we became pregnant through intrauterine insemination (IUI) and medication—my biggest regret is not coming here sooner. Before choosing Positive Steps, we spent far too much time and energy elsewhere. From the moment we became patients, we felt reassured, cared for, and genuinely supported. Our primary provider was Amanda, a nurse practitioner, and we cannot praise her enough. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and attentive, and made us feel heard at every step of treatment. Brittany and Jeri from our care team were also wonderful—encouraging, responsive, and kind at every appointment and with every question. The front desk staff, Brandi and Caroline, were equally outstanding. They always answered every question patiently and kindly, and knew us by name by our second visit. The saddest part of this journey was ‘graduating’ from Positive Steps, because it meant saying goodbye to such an amazing team. We are now expecting two sweet baby boys, Parker and Preston, who will always know about the wonderful people who helped bring them into the world. We highly recommend Positive Steps and would refer anyone to them without hesitation. We are incredibly grateful for every step that brought us here—we only wish we had come sooner.

    Words can never express how grateful we are to Dr. Parry, Amanda, and their entire team. From our first visit, they showed extraordinary kindness, understanding, and professionalism. Because of them, we were able to fulfill our dream of becoming parents. We are incredibly grateful and highly recommend them to anyone experiencing infertility. They are the best.

    The service was terrible.

    After a frozen embryo transfer at an out-of-state clinic, I came here at 9 weeks pregnant for routine external monitoring and had a frightening, heartbreaking experience. Brittany Linton NP began the ultrasound and told me something was wrong. She then video-called Dr. Parry, who was apparently out of state, and he told me I had miscarried. I was shocked and devastated. Two weeks later, after showing no signs of miscarriage, I saw my obstetrician and learned that my baby was completely fine. My embryo transfer doctor told me: 1) had this occurred earlier in pregnancy, Ms. Linton and Dr. Parry's instruction to stop hormonal support could actually have caused a miscarriage; and 2) “no competent doctor would make this mistake at 9 weeks.” After consulting several obstetricians and radiologists, they all considered Ms. Linton and Dr. Parry extremely incompetent and careless. They failed to recognize that they were scanning another structure in my uterus and completely missed my living, healthy baby. Needless to say, I am grateful my baby is alive and healthy, but I would not wish the entirely unnecessary grief, pain, and anxiety that Dr. Parry and Ms. Linton caused my family on my worst enemy. This clinic is a rude, incompetent money-making operation. IVF is difficult enough without people like this. Edited to add: It is also shocking that this doctor took the time to write a long, rambling response to this Google review but did not bother to contact me directly or respond when my doctor tried to discuss this serious negligence with him. In his response, he casually suggested that I seek a second opinion, yet he never told me that. This man cares only about protecting his business. Disgusting.

    4 years TTC. Three different OBs could not find the problem. Six failed rounds of Clomid/letrozole. Then we met our favorite OB and lifesaver, Dr. Berken, who found the issue that three doctors had overlooked, corrected it with surgery, and referred us to Dr. Parry at Positive Steps Fertility for further testing. Dr. Parry and Sarah found several other potential issues. We attempted one IUI, but I did not respond to the medication. After multiple procedures and many moments of losing hope and breaking down, we decided to proceed directly to IVF and had the best, most positive experience. On February 27, 2023, Dr. Parry transferred 1 of our 3 embryos, and we are now nearly 11 weeks pregnant with our first! We could not be more grateful, blessed, and excited. We are fortunate to have been referred to such an excellent team of nurses and doctors. Graduating back to our OB was a sad day, but we cannot wait to visit with our baby in November! Thank you to Dr. Parry and the Positive Steps team for everything! We will be back ❤️

    My experience at this IVF clinic was very disappointing. We started treatment here last year. After reviewing our medical history, we felt hopeful and believed our chances of success were high. They insisted on PGT, so we tested four embryos. Although the results were normal, all four transfers failed to produce a pregnancy. The medication protocol was never changed, and no different approach was tried. This treatment was extremely expensive. We struggled to raise more than $20,000, and it feels like the money was wasted. Overall, I would not recommend this clinic because of its one-size-fits-all approach.

    Infertility is one of the hardest things a woman can face. I moved to Louisiana two years ago, and my husband and I immediately began searching for a fertility clinic that would be a better fit for us and our family. They truly are a dedicated, professional, and caring team. Their service is unmatched, and we are deeply grateful that they helped us add two members to our family. Thank you to the entire Shreveport and Jackson teams.

    Throughout my journey, it was hard not to dwell on the word “failure.” But my experience changed how I view that word. Do you get promoted every year you work? No. Does that mean every year was a failure? Absolutely not. Each year, you work toward something—a promotion, caring for parents, building a home, and so on. It is not failure, just a step toward success. There are always steps and goals to set and achieve. Michael Jordan played professional basketball for 15 years and won championships in six. Would you call the other nine years failures? Absolutely not. There is no failure. There are good days and bad days. Some days are yours, others belong to someone else. You may not win a championship every year, but you take a step toward your goal for the next. There is no failure. Dr. Parry and his staff deeply care about every patient who enters the clinic and help you take those steps toward your goal.

    Thanks to PSF, I have a baby girl. Thank you to all the staff who helped us along the way. Thank you, Dr. Parry, for not letting me give up and for making sure we left with a child. I will always be grateful.
