They also really understood the idiosyncrasies with last minute scheduling when it comes to fertility stuff, which was a huge relief.

This review is long overdue! I first met Julie Gaudette in October of 2018. After a long and…read moredisappointing run of negative pregnancy test after negative test, my husband and I decided to give acupuncture a shot. After a month and a half of treatment with Julie, I was pregnant. Being an avid tracker of data I noticed that with acupuncture I had a pronounced increase in my basal body temperature around ovulation time. I was less stressed and had an overall sense of well-being. I ended up seeing Julie throughout my entire pregnancy. Every symptom I had was alleviated through acupuncture. If I had heartburn, congestion, nausea, any indigestion, you name it Julie was there. With a kind soul she provided the individualized care I desperately needed during that stressful time. My little guy is 7 months old now and I can't thank Julie enough for everything she did for us! I highly recommend the Nest and Julie

My wife and I went through this practice in 2020 and were very happy with our experience, Dr Tur Kaspa was fantastic and the staff was so wonderful and attentive. Sadly, he has retired, but we still wanted to try again to have a second child. I would be the one to conceive this time around. I had a consultation with Dr Murphy, and that was officially the last time I ever heard from her. My entire cycle was managed by staff, which would be fine if there was some consistency in the communication, but there was not. Right from the beginning, I felt Dr Murphy spoke in a way that conveyed most likely IUI wouldn't work on the first try, and she said several things about future cycles before the first cycle had even occurred. I felt from day one with her that she just didn't exude confidence in the process. The vibe with her was truly off. I live in another state, so some of my monitoring was done in another Pinnacle practice. It turned out, that practice measured follicles completely differently than Chicago, making my ultrasound results totally inconsistent. The most frustrating part was after 2 weeks of letrozole and monitoring, it was finally down to the wire when IUI would be occurring, and my patient navigator, who had been working with me since May, was going to be out of office for nearly 2 weeks. I wasn't told this until she was already gone. Then, the person who was covering for her was completely unresponsive. The last time my follicles were checked, my measurements were taken at 9am. I sent the labs and ultrasound over through the portal, and I confirmed with them that they had been received. At 3pm, I had still not heard from anyone at Pinnacle on next steps, but I had been told multiple times I should plan to trigger at night and the IUI would take place 2 days later. They knew I would have to travel from Michigan to Chicago for the IUI, so I was looking for some notice to plan when I would need to leave. At 3:30, I had to literally stalk someone at the practice, beg for a call, and finally was met with an excuse that Dr Murphy hadn't received my labs, even though hours prior I had sent them through the portal and again, confirmed they were received with a phone agent. They said they'd let me know by EOD what to do. Then I got an email about an hour later around 5pm, saying my IUI was going to be the next day at noon! I had't triggered yet, no one called me, and I had to travel from another state. I have a small child, a job, a life! I had to do my trigger shot immediately, pack, and rush out the door at 6:30pm, drive over 5 hours to Chicago, get a hotel, and call off work the next afternoon. Then, when I arrived for the IUI, I found out for the very first time Dr Murphy doesn't even do the procedure! It was an NP, which, fine, but I've literally spent a longer time in line at the McDonald's drive-thru than I did during the time for the IUI. It was in and out, no after-care advice, no communication. I didn't hear a peep from the practice for 2 weeks. They scheduled my labs again via email. No call, no asking if that time worked for me. Then I get a text that my navigator is changing yet again. So this is 3 different navigators in one cycle. I just got the call that my HCG was negative, shocker. They dropped the ball in so many ways, I am certain that they missed the window and panicked, scheduling my IUI and rushing me out. This place has simply become another corporate nightmare, buying up fertility practices all over the country but failing to instate quality control. Save your money. They don't have the time or ability. For a medical service that was entirely out of pocket, I could have lit $3000 on fire and achieved the same outcome. The best part of this practice has clearly left the building.

The very first one, is the only thing is a derivative of the only thing I'm allergic to. I'm thankful, I did my research. When I called about it, her staff was defensive and quite honestly, nasty and extremely unprofessional. Was prescribed another medication and when it wasn't called into my pharmacy, I called again and left a message. I was notified by my pharmacy that it was ready but with only 12 pills. I again did some research and called again and left a message as to why only 12 tablets. Again, pharmacy notified me that I had a prescription for 90 days. Never was given a courtesy call from the doctors office explaining anything. I was given a procedure that wasn't covered by insurance but if I paid an additional 12.5%, they would accept Care Credit. Had another issue, which I won't explain but again was not given help unless I made another appointment and spend more money. Needless to say, I'm looking for another ob/gyn!

I first met Dr. Shashoua after a failed embryo transfer that left me septic, internally bleeding, and in critical condition. I was so sick that I didn't fully understand what was happening -- I was truly dying. Dr. Shashoua stepped in with the urgency, skill, and calm confidence that only an exceptional surgeon can bring. He performed the emergency operation that saved my life, and I will forever be grateful. After stabilizing me, he did something that shows how deeply he cares about his patients: he referred me to a far better fertility doctor because he knew I needed more specialized and attentive care than I had previously received. That referral changed everything for my fertility journey. A few months later, he performed my endometriosis excision surgery and removed my tubes. These were major, life-altering procedures, and he approached every decision with precision, empathy, and extraordinary expertise. I now see him regularly to monitor and manage my endometriosis and infertility, and he continues to provide the highest level of care. What sets him apart is how closely he works hand-in-hand with my fertility doctor, ensuring that every aspect of my treatment is coordinated. My case is extremely complex and often overwhelming, but he has never once made me feel like a burden. He treats me with compassion, respect, and true dedication. If you have endometriosis, fertility challenges, pelvic pain, or any complicated gynecologic or urologic condition, Dr. Shashoua is the doctor you want in your corner. He is an extraordinary surgeon, an exceptional physician, and someone who genuinely cares about his patients' lives and futures. I owe him mine.
