Choosing a fertility clinic can feel overwhelming, especially with how emotional and complex the…read moreIVF process is, but my experience with New Direction Fertility Clinic was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, Dr. Salem and his entire team created an environment that felt warm, supportive, and incredibly professional. Every interaction I had left me feeling genuinely cared for, fully informed, and completely safe. They took the time to explain each step in a way that made the process feel manageable rather than intimidating, which made a huge difference in my overall experience. Arden and Taylor were especially amazing. Both kind, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile. It's clear that everyone there truly cares about their patients, not just medically but emotionally as well. Like many people, I came into this process having read a lot of negative and scary reviews about IVF. And while it's true that it's not an easy journey, this team made it as smooth, organized, and low-stress as possible. I always felt supported and never alone in the process, which is invaluable during something like this. I was referred to this clinic for a friend of a friend out of state and traveled out of state for my treatment as well, and I can confidently say it was 100% beyond worth it. The level of care, communication, professionalism, and compassion exceeded all expectations. I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Dr. Salem and his team to anyone considering fertility treatment.

I apologize for the length of this review, but want to share my experience with New Direction. Even…read morethough my treatment time with them was short, sadly I did not have the experience that I had hoped for. I was referred by my OB/GYN for help with better management of my PCOS symptoms and the hope to get to a place where I could conceive naturally, or with minimal help/treatment. My first consultation with Dr. Derman was okay. He was professional, and initially made me feel heard. I was given two options for helping my PCOS: 1) lose weight, possibly with a GLP1 from my PCP, to see if that helped with my PCOS and allowed me to conceive or 2) jump into ovulation induction medications to get pregnant ASAP. Ultimately I chose to go the GLP1 route through my PCP and put a hold on option 2. Dr. Derman prescribed me a birth control, as he wanted me to try to regulate my cycle and I needed to be on BC if I started taking a GLP1. I started having "breakthrough bleeding" on the pill, which I was expecting. However, the bleeding lasted for 75 days. While it wasn't heavy bleeding the entire time, it was enough to have to use my menstrual cup every day for those 75 days. I reached out to the clinic a few times during those 75 days to express concern and to ask "how long is too long?" Every time I got the same answer, to continue taking the pill and that the bleeding was to be expected; that there was no concern unless I was filling my menstrual cup within a couple of hours. I discussed this with my PCP, who helped me make the decision to change my birth control pill. I started a new pill, and the bleeding stopped within 10 days. It was clear that the birth control Dr. Derman put me on was not ideal for my body...but they didn't seem to care, even when I told them the constant bleeding was taking a physical and mental toll. I decided to no longer seek any care through New Direction. To me, it felt like my care was put on the back burner since I wasn't trying to actively get pregnant. It felt like I wasn't worth their time or effort, and it was very disheartening. Sadly, this ruined their reputation for me. If I couldn't count on them to listen to a concern about a birth control pill, it doesn't instill a lot of trust that they'll be the right providers for me should I need fertility treatment.

ARMS has always made me feel like a number, a customer, a transaction. I have spent countless hours…read morecommunicating with their staff who are always unfriendly during every encounter. I have wasted thousands for mediocre service and little to no guidance or instruction during this stressful journey. I have been fear mongered by their doctor for having a known donor and not one purchased from them. I have been marked a no show for an appointment that I was signed in and waiting in the lobby for twenty minutes while the receptionists sat complaining about their work load. I have been poked and prodded by inexperienced medical assistants that can't find a vein. I have been a customer for over a year and a half and haven't had a good interaction yet. I have spent countless hours communicating with CIGNA because their billing department always finds a way to overcharge. I've sent questions regarding IVF and have been sent the IVF introduction that they send everyone because the person on the receiving end was too busy to care. (Stupid me for not knowing the process and procedure already. How dare I come to a specialist with questions.) I have been patient, hopeful, and understanding. We are all human and have off days. Maybe my expectations are too high when it comes to customer service, my body, my future, and where I spend my hard earned money. I'm truly ashamed of ARMS and everyone that represents them. "A family building families", mine already has dysfunction for free. I don't want theirs at a cost.

It's important I write this review so people understand how amazing this place is. I switched from…read moreNew Direction to Bloom and it was the best choice. First let's talk about Dr. Gordon. She is nice, confident, an expert, AND SHE CARES ABOUT YOU AND YOUR FUTURE. Shes the full package. Probably one of the best providers I've ever seen. I had an emergency surgery that came up and she approached it so swiftly, was truly empathetic, and provided the best care possible for me. I cannot say enough great things about her. Next is the support staff. Everyone here is so friendly and communicative. There is nothing more frustrating than going to a fertility clinic and having poor communication. That will not be your experience at Bloom. From Gabby, to Carmen, to Andrea, to even the nice lady at the front desk, you will be taken care of, The clinic is super clean and easy to get appointments with especially when your cycle starts. They are willing to do thorough testing before jumping to IVF and care about your goals. I literally have only good things to say about Bloom and Dr. Gordon. If I had to choose one negative thing it would be that I wish there was a way to send things directly to the doctor rather than having to schedule an appointment every time I need to update her with something, But hey, if that's my biggest concern, then I'm in a good position. Anyways, I would give this place 10 stars if I could so I hope that helps anyone in their decision-making process.

Dr. Gordon was great; however, the billing department has been extremely frustrating. My account…read morehas shown multiple inconsistent charges--$400, then $1,000, then $370. Each time I asked for clarification, I was told (three separate times) that it was a "glitch" in the system. Now my account shows a $570 balance, and I have no idea where it's coming from or whether it's even a legitimate charge. So, I reached out to them again on Monday. I would strongly recommend being cautious and not paying anything unless you receive a clear, itemized statement that shows exactly what is being billed and the date of service. Additionally, my cycle failed and reached out through their patient portal on Monday, but I never received a response. At this point, I will likely be looking for a new office.

Dr. Patel was rude and snippy the entire time. I went here seeking out guidance because I was…read morediagnosed with PCOS and was told that I would have a difficult time getting pregnant. His plan was very extreme. It involved placing stents in my fallopians tubes and flushing out my uterus. I decided to go to my OBGYN to see what she thought.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! My husband and I had a video call with…read moreDr Patel, we had spoken to the office staff ahead of time for payment. He had been recommended to me from my GBGYN, this was our first time talking to a fertility dr. Our conversation with him was all over the place, as requested by them we sent through endless medical history ahead of time. I explained everything detail of what was going on with me, he started off calling my case "boring" his words. I then re explained my issues he took that statement back quick and began to suggest every test possible. He was abrupt, rude and made us feel like just another hopeless case study. I left the call in tears in my husbands arms as he had basically said I could be going through early menopause at 30 and falling pregnant will be near impossible. Only minutes after the call ended we receive another call from there office for payment. I received another call days later to book the tests in that was then I said we would definitely not be proceeding with him. They seemed more about money then patient compassion. I would definitely not recommend this practice or doctor to any couple.

I was recently looking for a new OBGYN, to handle my pregnancy, and heard many excellent recommendations for this office so I decided to check them out. I had no idea it was the same business, since it's like night and day from my previous bad experience. The staff is fantastic, kind and professional. The office is clean, and has a wonderful atmosphere. Dr. Garza is caring and immediately put me at ease. He delivered my baby two weeks ago and it was the best possible experience. Obviously there's nothing fun about pushing an eight pound person through your hoo-ha, but Dr. Garza did an amazing job, and my recovery was fantastic. He included my husband as much as possible, and we will always have great memories of the day our daughter was born. I'm so grateful to have found this office, and am so impressed with the changes they have made in the past few years of Dr. Garza running the practice. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

Please do yourself a favor and choose a place that actually serves their patients.

There were a lot of uneasy appts, lack of communication and we felt they didn't understand our timeline. We both understand this journey isn't a fast journey but my husband is an active duty military member and he was deploying for 12 mos. We started this journey a little over 1.5 years and the last office was just dragging their feet and we voiced our concerns since he was preparing to leave last December. I went back to my primary care dr on base and they referred us to Dr Craig. His office is a lot farther from us but to be honest it is 100% worth the drive. From the very first appt with dr Craig in person was so easy and he went into great detail of all the test we did that day and wrote out a timeline txt plan. I really appreciated Dr Craig taking his time and sitting in person with me. The last office, I never met the dr in person. I did not like that at all. We asked for a sit down in person and was told those are phone appts. We did not like that. We unfortunately don't have a little baby running around yet but Dr Craig and his office have been so accommodating with our situation and have been very informative. We are hoping this next round of IUI will stick but overall we have really enjoyed our experience with the staff thus far. I highly recommend!

After being given a grim fertility prognosis from other clinics in my late-thirties, I went on to have two healthy babies (with my own eggs) at 43 and 49, under the care of Dr. Craig and his incredible staff. This was despite having numerous infertility-related diagnoses. The support and healthy optimism received made all the difference, and will never be forgotten. They were also very flexible with appointment availability around my work schedule. The IVF process was made seamless, despite the complexity and timing of everything that needs to be done. I actually loved going to my appointment, as their building is aesthetically beautiful, relaxing, and they always have good movies playing in the lobby! We also felt everyone at the clinic was on our side, never felt judged for being so old on our journey to begin parenthood. Dr. Craig is excellent at making your treatment options easy to understand, as well as executing them in a way that makes you feel you are in the best possible hands. It is very apparent that he is at the leading edge of his field and is passionate about the work he does. He has created a clinic that works together as miraculously as his treatment regimens. In short, no review could possibly relay the gratitude we have for Dr. Craig and everyone at FTC, but if we had to do it again, we wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you

I had such a terrible experience with this doctor and nurse Mary. I actually saw them back in…read moreOctober 2025 and waited to write this to see if my feelings would change. I'm not a big fan of writing negative reviews but something tells me I need to speak up about my experience with them last summer and fall. I came to them on a referral from the VA which is very difficult to get in the first place. The VA actually recommended this facility to me because they had sent many women to them in the past. I should have done more research but it was on the spot so I agreed. From the start, Mary was extremely cold and seemed like she'd rather not be there. I saw her multiple times for multiple appointments and she was never very friendly. I actually felt like I was ruining her morning to be honest. I don't think I ever saw her smile. To be fair I always had an earlier appointment so maybe she's not a morning person but as a nurse myself I know many other nurses who would love to work there so that was just very off putting. Dr. Couvares (spelling?) was even worst. He was always cold, blunt and said some things that will unfortunately stick with me forever given the nature of the business there. He talks at you not with you. He goes on and on while you're still trying to process what he is saying. I was a labor and delivery nurse for almost 7 years and even for me the lingo he used was difficult to follow. I would ask questions and felt like I was a burden. I did all my lab tests and procedures on time as they instructed me to and was after that to make a separate video appointment than my husband to go over each of our results. I wanted to be together for those because it is such a sensitive topic and I lean on him to ask questions when I'm still stuck on the crushing terminology the doctor used just a second ago. Nope, had to be separate. So I took my last video call with the doctor in a parking lot in my car alone. He proceeded to talk at me for 15 minutes about what he saw which was not good news. Then tells me my ovaries are "circling the drain" and that the chances of me getting pregnant on my own are "slim to none". He told me that I'm also not a good candidate for IVF and if I was I should use donor eggs. I just sat and listened and tried to hold back tears. He left me with no options going forward. He just said oh you appear to have some inflammation somewhere in your body but we don't know where so I'm prescribing an acyclovir for you to take. He said work on diet and exercise and proceeded to lecture me on that without asking what I have done to be healthier since starting these tests months earlier. I had actually lost 25lbs since the start and was busting my butt in the gym. I'm only 165lbs at 5ft 5 mind you. I felt insulted and discarded in that moment. I got off the call and called my husband and bawled on the phone after. This doctors words and the way he made me feel will stick with me forever unfortunately. I'm not sure if it was because I came to him on a referral from the VA or because he knew I was a nurse but I can't shake how awful the whole experience was. Afterwards, nobody followed up with me. Months went by and I just kinda gave up on the idea of having a second baby. One positive takeaway was my experience with the blonde lady was very pleasant the two times she did procedures on me. I can't remember her name but I believe she was a PA there. She was amazing. Very warm and walked me through everything with care and sensitivity. Very professional and friendly both times. Do your research and go somewhere where the entire staff from start to finish handle your situation with care and understanding. It's hard enough for us women going through struggles trying to get pregnant or stay pregnant, we don't need more hurdles in the way. I hope this helps.
