Advanced Reproductive Specialists of Panama City — Панама-Сити, США

I highly recommend this practice! After years of hesitation, I finally decided to seek help. Terri developed several options for us, and we successfully pursued them with coverage from Tricare. Special thanks also to Courtney and Tammy, who were wonderful! We now have a healthy daughter whom we could not have had without them. Thank you!

I will never forget this Mother's Day, thanks to Dr. Lipari, nurse practitioners Terri and Courtney, and Tammy, the wonderful nurse at Advanced Reproductive Center, because it was my first Mother's Day as a mother! In fact, last Mother's Day I learned that my little one was coming into the world, all thanks to this clinic. They made an anxious pregnancy much easier, patiently answered my endless questions, and explained complex medical concepts to my husband and me in terms we could understand. I will always be grateful to this team!

I usually visit their Jacksonville location, but I came here while visiting family. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and this location was also excellent. I would recommend it to everyone.

I highly recommend these doctors and this clinic to anyone needing infertility treatment. They listened patiently to all our concerns and gave us comprehensive guidance on the available treatment options. I am sincerely grateful for all their help.

During a surrogacy through an IVF clinic in Colorado, I received outside monitoring from Terri and her clinic. I have never felt so well cared for. They were exceptionally thoughtful, friendly, and professional. I experienced a missed miscarriage, then resumed monitoring after my second transfer. From reception and the lovely person who drew my blood to Courtney and Terri, every team member was wonderful. I will miss coming here and receiving such attentive care. Wishing the clinic continued success. Thank you!

Hello, I have read many reviews of this clinic and am looking for one to begin whatever treatment is needed. I have been with my partner for 6 years and we have not been able to conceive. I live here in Panama City, and my only difficulty is English. Does anyone there speak Spanish or could someone help me communicate?

I cannot say enough good things about all of the staff here.

I believe meaningful experiences like this deserve to be shared. First, I sincerely thank everyone at the Panama City office. They are kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and genuinely pleasant to be around, which matters when you visit often. My wife and I tried several IUI cycles. Unfortunately, they failed, but this was not the medical team's fault; my body simply did not respond as hoped. After another consultation, Dr. Lipari suspected endometriosis, which had been mentioned before. The team respected my wish to try conceiving naturally before surgery, though I occasionally regretted waiting. When Dr. Lipari performed surgery and confirmed stage 3 endometriosis, everything finally made sense. Things can improve from here. I am very grateful to Dr. Lipari and the staff. They are professional, listen patiently, and made it easy for us to voice concerns and ask countless questions. If you want a professional team that genuinely cares, this is the place.

I strongly recommend that anyone experiencing infertility meet with Terri Bishop CNM! With her help and that of the excellent doctors at JCRM Jacksonville, we became pregnant on our first IVF transfer at age 47, one year ago this month. We are very grateful that Advanced Reproductive Specialists and JCRM gave us the opportunity to receive infertility treatment at our age when other clinics would not. Everyone treated us with the utmost respect and kindness and always made us feel welcome, comfortable, and like family. We will forever be grateful to Terri Bishop CNM, Dr. Lipari, Dr. Fox, Courtney APRN, and Tammy for helping us become first-time parents to a baby boy! The Armstrong family

We had a great experience. Thank you!

They are the only reason we had our first child. Amazing!

Terry Bishop and the entire staff at Advanced Reproductive Specialists in Panama City are outstanding, and I highly recommend them. I am deeply grateful for their genuine kindness and care. I have never felt that a healthcare provider or clinic cared for me as sincerely as this clinic does. Every woman here is wonderful. They went above and beyond for me. I strongly recommend them. You need a provider who truly listens to you and your concerns. You need a clinic willing to do everything possible to help. You definitely want Terry Bishop at Advanced Reproductive Specialists. Again, I highly recommend this clinic. Every experience here has been excellent.

This clinic's policy is completely absurd. I called to schedule a new-patient appointment and check insurance information. The woman said I needed to register through the Jacksonville office. I called, and that employee said registration required a nonrefundable $100 fee. When I asked whether my insurance was accepted, she said they would tell me only after I paid the $100. Otherwise, I would have to find out myself. I was prepared to pay, but first wanted to confirm that my insurance was accepted so I could proceed with scheduling. They refused. They will do nothing unless you pay $100. Completely absurd.

This clinic has made me feel welcome since my first appointment. The entire team is wonderful. Tammy at the front desk is very kind and courteous and always responds to emails and calls. Courtney is kind and knowledgeable; she made me comfortable and was very helpful with blood draws, medication management, and insurance information. Dr. Terry is amazing! She knows what she is doing, is very attentive, and always recommends the right treatment. Dr. Terry and Dr. Fox were the only doctors during years of infertility who recommended surgery for endometriosis. I became pregnant 1 month after surgery and am overjoyed. They are by far the best fertility clinic you can find. Highly recommended!

The women at the Panama City office were extremely helpful throughout our fertility process. They were caring and encouraging every step of the way. I cannot wait to bring our little baby to meet them.

I took time to think carefully about what I wanted to say about this practice. I went to them after test results showed blocked fallopian tubes. After a telehealth appointment with a doctor in Jacksonville, they scheduled me with Terri at the Panama City office, which is close to my home. That is where things went downhill. Terri initially seemed friendly, but she was very judgmental and pushed her own agenda without truly listening to my concerns. She first told me my BMI was high at 41 and that the only way to lower it was a keto diet, but not a normal one. The document she gave me described an extremely restrictive, high-fat diet. When I explained that previous health problems made a high-fat diet unsuitable because it made me ill, she replied, "We will try it anyway." Over the next two months, she repeatedly told me I must have food-related childhood trauma because I disliked foods such as avocado and should force myself to eat them anyway. She also suggested therapy. When I said I would not do that because I had no trauma, she said I needed weekly appointments with her so she could monitor my nutrition. That was only part of it. They also said my A1C was too high at 6.1 and that I needed an endocrinology appointment before they could schedule surgery. After I called several local endocrinologists and was told my A1C was too low for them to accept me as a patient, Terri finally relented and said my primary care doctor could clear me. I obtained clearance and asked to be placed on the surgical schedule, having also lost weight and lowered my A1C, only to be told they had no surgery appointments at all. They made me go through all of this, said they had planned for two months, and then claimed they had no appointments. The team at Jacksonville Center for Reproductive Medicine does not care about you as a person. They care only about their agenda and making you follow it. Believe the other negative reviews. I wish I had. I eventually told them I was changing providers and found one I had to pay out of pocket, but the experience was far better. That provider requested my records from Jacksonville in the 12th month of last year and still has not received them. Thankfully, I had copies of most records and could provide them, but I still had to repeat some tests because they could not be bothered to send my records. Run far away from this place. I would give zero stars if I could.

We had the most wonderful experience with the staff here. Terri always responded quickly to any questions or concerns. She consistently made us feel comfortable and confident about the decisions we needed to make. I appreciated how quickly her team provided a treatment plan, ordered medications, and made changes when needed. We loved walking in, being recognized by the entire staff, and feeling that everyone was invested in our care. We drove from Pensacola for treatment and will gladly do so again when it is time to transfer any future embryos.

I am fortunate to have found such an excellent clinical team. The staff at this location are all wonderful! I am extremely grateful for everything they did for our family. Dr. Lapari and Terri are one of a kind. God bless you all!

Over the past year, I saw several doctors who seemed indifferent to my concerns. I was then referred to Advanced Reproductive Specialists in Panama City, and they completely exceeded my expectations. The three women in the office were extremely kind and compassionate and made this journey far better than I imagined. Terri Bishop stood out in particular—she was attentive and thorough and truly made me feel heard for the first time. During my initial telehealth appointment, she spent two full hours speaking with me and showed an unmatched level of care. Although they can provide care only to a certain point in pregnancy before referring you to an OB-GYN, I was genuinely sad after my final appointment because I knew I would not find another provider as wonderful as they were. I highly recommend them!

The question is whether this is a sperm bank where someone can request a donation from a friend.

Hello, I have had two ectopic pregnancies, but my gynecologist did not explain what happened. Can you help me???
