IVF Ohio Fertility Centers, Сильвания, штат Огайо, США

This place is a trap. After we experienced several recurrent miscarriages, our OB-GYN referred us here. We were scheduled for a “consultation.” They told us our insurance would not cover most services and that the consultation would cost more than $200. The consultation itself was a joke. The doctor began by asking whether we knew how common recurrent miscarriage was. Our OB-GYN had assured us that it was common, so we answered, “Common.” The doctor replied, “No, no, no. It is extremely rare. Fewer than 5% of women worldwide have this problem.” His tone showed no compassion. My wife cried for the next two days because this “doctor” made her feel that everything was her fault. The doctor quickly went over possible ways to conceive and said he fully expected us to need IVF, even though he had not reviewed any data or laboratory results. We desperately wanted to succeed, so we continued. Suddenly, we were being asked to take steps that cost money, with no transparency about the fees. I practically had to beg to get the prices. It felt like a well-oiled system designed to push people into the IVF trap as quickly as possible. I can understand the costs and other issues. They are the same everywhere in the country. What I cannot forgive is Dr. Sharma's complete lack of empathy when speaking with a woman who had just undergone a miscarriage procedure. Shame on you!

I graduated from the IVF clinic today, and my emotions are truly mixed. Dr. Shamma has always been kind, sincere, and trustworthy, and it was a pleasure working with her. The procedures and embryo transfer went smoothly and were completely painless, and the staff was always very supportive. Everyone at the clinic was friendly and quick to address any questions or concerns. The clinic feels like one warm, welcoming family.

Dr. Sharma and her team are among the most thoughtful and caring teams I have ever worked with. Our fertility journey was not easy, but they stayed with us throughout and helped us achieve our dream. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking infertility treatment.

Five stars for Dr. Sharma and his team!! IVF is extremely difficult, but the clinical staff at the Sylvania clinic were very professional and patiently explained the entire process in detail!! I recommend Dr. Sharma to anyone struggling to conceive; he is a wonderful and very caring physician!

This office is wonderful!

The clinic is pleasant and the staff are excellent. They are attentive and precise, provide accurate information and clear next steps, and effectively ease patients' anxiety. They deliver compassionate care.

Dr. Sharma is the best and helped make our dream come true. We are deeply grateful to him and his care team. This is a wonderful clinic!

Words cannot express my appreciation for Dr. Sharma and the team. They are very professional and genuinely care about their patients!

Dr. Shamma and his team were very helpful throughout our treatment.

We can’t thank Dr Shamma and his team of nurses enough. Always on call for addressing any questions and alleviating any worries. They truly made the process simple and easy for us, plus nurse Ashlee is the best!

Compared with my previous OB-GYN, Dr. Shamma and his team made my path to pregnancy much smoother. He is professional, knowledgeable, and as hopeful as the prospective parents who long to have a child. Peyton is an excellent case nurse who always responds promptly to my questions and never makes me feel like a bother. I highly recommend Dr. Shamma and his team to anyone experiencing infertility.

My wife and I are both pharmacists, and we appreciated Dr. Shamma's expert and heartfelt care. You can tell Dr. Shamma is passionate about his work, and in our opinion, his dedication is beyond measure. The office staff is professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. We had to call the after-hours number once and received a timely callback; they also followed up with us the next day. We will be back soon.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to this clinic. Becoming pregnant through IVF was not easy, but the center's careful planning, time, coordination, and attentive care made every moment more meaningful. I cannot count all the questions, emails, and phone calls I directed to them, but they responded promptly and thoroughly every time and reassured me that they wanted me to feel as comfortable as possible. Special thanks to Dr. Shamma and every nurse, technician, receptionist, and student I met, including Ashley, Olivia, and Peyton, for making each experience as comfortable as possible. I am now three months pregnant, which would not have been possible without their hard work and support. Thank you for everything and for making my dream of motherhood come true!

Infertility is painful, and choosing the right fertility clinic is essential. The IVF clinic in Sylvania, Michigan, is one I highly recommend. Dr. Sharma was wonderful. He explained every treatment option in detail and was refreshingly candid. He shared his recommendation but reassured us that the final choice was ours. IVF involves many elements and frequent clinic visits, and Dr. Sharma and his excellent team gave us the best possible experience. Because we visited several times a week, the staff became like a second family. They truly knew us and treated us as individuals, not just patients. Peyton was consistently wonderful. She answered my questions clearly and concisely, explained complex matters in an accessible way, and ensured I felt comfortable at every visit. She made IVF much easier for my husband and me. IVF is not easy, but choosing this clinic made the process so smooth that it was all worthwhile.

They canceled the appointment without notice. My husband had an appointment on Monday and emailed his information and insurance card as requested. They confirmed receipt, and on the Friday before the appointment I picked up a specimen cup for his test. When he arrived Monday, they said they had canceled the appointment Thursday afternoon because the email did not include the front of his insurance card. The front desk representative opened the email and somehow found both sides of the card there. They did not think it necessary to contact us or even mention it when I picked up the cup on Friday, a full day after they had canceled his appointment. Worse, they accused my husband of lying, saying he had not received the specimen cup and paperwork from them but had obtained them elsewhere. Their incompetence left me disgusted and shocked.

Our story has a happy ending however it was not achieved through this clinic. My wife had 2 children from a previous marriage and she got her tubes tied after her second child. She was in a bad marriage and decided that was the best option at the time. Her marriage failed and a few years later we started dating and eventually married. We decided we wanted children together as I had none of my own. We talked to several clinics and Nobody was doing tubal reversals at the time I guess for legal reasons. Ivf was our best option and we chose ivf michigan & ohio fertility centers. We did all the pretests to ensure we were good candidates for ivf. During this process is when doctors started doing tubal reversals again. We spoke to the doctor about this option again and he told us my sperm analysis showed low sperm count and that the tails of my sperm were rounded and therefore we would have little to no chance at conceiving on our own after a successful tubal reversal. So pushed for us to continue with ivf. We applied for many loans to pay for the ivf and only future family loans would finance us with a high interest high payment loan. We started the grueling process of ivf my wife had 14 eggs retrieved 10 were fertilized and only 1 made it to an embryo. We only had 1 shot. The egg transferred ended in miscarriage. We were left devastated and we couldn't possibly afford to start ivf again and the Dr just had an "oh well" attitude even though our world shattered. Still desperately wanting a child we decided to at least explore our options at a different clinic as we were not happy with our whole experience at Michigan & ohio fertility centers. Our new dr looked at my sperm analysis and said there was nothing wrong with my sperm quality and would give us a 75% chance at conceiving on our own after a successful tubal reversal. We did the reversal which is a fraction of the cost of ivf. Less than 10 months later our baby boy was born and we are so I love with him. This is truly the happiest ive ever been but the financial strain that ivf has put on our family has been difficult. The Dr at Michigan & ohio fertility centers pushed ivf on us when we clearly had a better option i guess it was a bigger payoff for him. We left Michigan & ohio fertility centers heartbroken with grief and financially ruined it was truly the biggest mistake of our lives choosing this clinic.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Shamma and his staff! I saw him twice during my pregnancy, and I would recommend him!

Several years ago, my wife and I came to this clinic as a same-sex couple seeking fertility care. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing and frustrating. Although I, a white woman, was treated professionally, my wife, a woman of color, was not shown the same respect. There was a stark contrast in how each of us was addressed and acknowledged. At one point, we were told our treatment plan involved “timed intercourse,” which clearly did not apply to us as a lesbian couple. When I asked the nurse to review the doctor's notes again, they insisted they already had and responded condescendingly rather than with care. When I tried to explain that timed intercourse was not helpful for my wife and me, the nurse talked down to me. We repeatedly had to advocate for ourselves to receive appropriate, informed guidance—something no patient should have to do. The nurse later called me back but never apologized for her rudeness or the error. She insisted that I ship sperm to the clinic. There was no proper plan or schedule. I was told, “Ship it here, and we will figure it out.” I did not trust this plan, so we chose another clinic. Instead of telling us to try timed intercourse, that clinic genuinely listened and met our needs as a lesbian couple.

If I could give zero stars, I would. The only person I would give five stars is the receptionist who communicated with me after scheduling; I believe his name was Alex. My wife and I had a telehealth appointment with Dr. Shamma. The experience was terrible. Do not come to this clinic! Before doing any tests or even meeting us in person, he told us our only option was IVF. He was very dogmatic and strongly argued that my wife's two miscarriages were because she might have an STD, which she does not. He also tried to place all the blame on her genetics, again without conducting any tests or even meeting us. He made us feel deeply ashamed that we had decided to try to conceive before going to the clinic. Then, at the end of the appointment, he made a joke about trying to get a “discount” from my wife's workplace because she was still in uniform. This doctor was extremely unprofessional.

I have worked as a surrogate with other fertility clinics as well as Ohio IVF and Gift of Life Surrogacy, and without question, this is the best! As a surrogate, I have never felt so supported and cared for. Dr. Shamm, his wife Zein, and his office team are outstanding. After some very traumatic experiences with another clinic and agency, he took time after hours to call me from home to calm my nerves and ease my anxiety. He gave me the confidence to try again, and they made it easy to trust the process. Their entire team genuinely loves what they do, which shows in the compassion and thoughtfulness they demonstrate. His nurses and office staff are wonderful people, and each was essential to my incredible experience. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are the most efficient, kind, caring, and effective team I have ever had the privilege of working with. They are very direct and honest and tell you the truth, which I appreciate. I just completed my first trimester and graduated from the IVF clinic. It is bittersweet because I will miss seeing all their faces!

Dr. Shamma and his team made the transition from one clinic to another seamless. The team provided all documents and care steps at the early appointments. Nurses were available by phone and email to answer every question. All billing information was provided in advance. We have one beautiful IVF baby and another on the way! Since joining the IVF community, we have learned a great deal and continue advocating for others by sharing our story and encouraging employers to offer IVF coverage.

From the beginning, I knew this would be a terrible experience. My husband called to schedule an analysis, but they gave us no relevant information and left us to research it ourselves. When the analysis was performed, they did not explain how long the results would take or how we would receive them. He called to ask when they would arrive, and they said Wednesday. A day later, there were still no results. He contacted them again, and they told him something completely different. They will sit on your test results for an entire week. I have friends who completed the same process and received results the same day. This place seems disorganized, and I wish we had gone elsewhere. Edit: It is now Monday, a week and a half after the analysis and 5 days after we were told we would receive the results. We still have nothing. We have been trying to conceive for four years, and this clinic experience has been absolutely terrible and heartbreaking. Even providing patients with test results is difficult for them. If we receive the results, we will go to another clinic.

I have nothing but love for IVF Michigan. Everyone is so kind! I could tell that every staff member genuinely supported me and remained hopeful at every step. What I appreciated most was that when my first transfer failed, Dr. Shamma immediately discussed changing my protocol to improve the chances for the second transfer. I have heard many horror stories from elsewhere, not this clinic, about people having to advocate constantly for themselves because their clinics refused to change anything. Their immediate response to adjust the plan gave me the confidence I needed when I had lost all hope. I also appreciated that every one of my many questions was answered promptly and respectfully. It quickly relieved my stress and anxiety and made the information easier to understand. I absolutely love this team and cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you for helping make my dream come true.

I strongly recommend Dr. Shamma. He is an outstanding professional with extensive experience who achieves results. 5 stars!

This place is terrible 😞 I had cancer three years ago, so we decided to preserve our eggs and embryos. This year I called to say we were ready to begin having a child, and they told me they had none of my embryos. They had not developed and died 3 hours after the procedure. Why did no one contact me? There was never a letter or phone call. I learned only when I called the office, and I am still fighting for answers.
