    Dr.Thornton is absolutely the best physician (I can honestly say) that I've ever had. Unlike most…read moredoctors, she came into the exam room with a huge smile and infectious positive sunny attitude. After discussing the primary reason for my visit (suspicious skin abscess), she took a moment to ask me if everything ELSE in my health was okay. It took me be surprise, to be honest!! Normally, physicians I've seen in the past have only addressed the primary reason for my visit. Never really caring about "the rest." Dr.Thornton is my new primary doctor. She is absolutely the best of the best. Highly recommended. Office is super conveniently located, great parking, and very convenient to make a quick appointment with Dr.Thornton via ZocDoc.com or calling the office. AND... they take most insurances. Nice! I LOVE this place!

    I can't say enough good things about this practice. I've been seeing Dr. Briones for over 4 years…read moreand she is the most thorough, caring and compassionate doctor. She goes above and beyond her job and has helped me in countless ways. When she was out on medical leave, I saw Dr. Patel who was also very kind and understanding. The staff working at the front desk are always very helpful and I never have to wait in this office which is amazing. I was just there yesterday and I didn't even have a chance to sit down on a chair in the waiting room as my name was called right away. Your time is valued which I greatly appreciate. They used to have an office in Coatesville which was much closer for me but it's worth the further drive to West Chester for the great care I receive. Like many doctor offices, book your appointment far in advance because their schedules get very full. I can't say enough good things about this practice and I would highly recommend Dr. Briones!

    My first visit here…read more There's a parking garage that is free however you may have to drive around a little bit until you find a spot atmosphere: bright & a little noisy Service: great! they had workers all throughout the building and signs that could guide you to where you had to go and that was very helpful . Practice: the practice I went to get service was very quick and I was in and out in no time I hope you enjoy your experience here as much as I did

    We've been Penn Med patients since 2020, & our experience at other network sites has generally been…read moresolid. This review is about our time at Penn Fertility Care specifically, navigating family planning w/ a known genetic risk -- FMR1/Fragile X syndrome -- through IVF, PGT-M, & PGT-A. Going in, we asked whether the clinic had real-world experience w/ Fragile X-related cases. We were told yes, & Dr. Anuja Dokras took on our care. All 5 consultations were virtual, w/ occasional tech hiccups -- one delay ran ~40 min. Appts were often spaced 1-3 mos apart, which, layered onto our existing anxiety, left little room to work through complex genetic questions or feel confident about next steps. Post genetic counseling & 2 stimulation cycles, we had real questions about our realistic odds of a healthy, transferable embryo from our own eggs. Cycle 1: 16 eggs, 2 embryos, neither cleared PGT-A. Cycle 2: 14 eggs, 1 embryo -- carrying the full mutation. Only once a 3rd cycle was already being floated, after repeated prodding on our end, did we get an individualized number: ~10% odds per cycle. We respect the physician's clinical judgment & know IVF can't promise outcomes. Still, we never got an early, plain-language breakdown of how age, the FMR1 premutation, & our PGT-A/PGT-M results added up together. A more candid, earlier conversation about alternatives -- donor eggs included -- before 2 costly, draining cycles might've spared our family real financial & emotional strain. At a meeting w/ clinic leadership, we raised concerns re: strategy & communication. We were shown general IVF stats from genetics, but felt these broad numbers didn't reflect our genetically complex case. We were offered a $2,500 partial reimbursement tied to admin issues -- appreciated, but it didn't touch our core concern: gaps in communication & personalization of our plan. To be clear, this isn't a claim of formal medical error -- just a candid account. We believe Penn Fertility Care, Dr. Dokras, & the HUP Patient Experience dept have real room to grow in explaining individualized odds sooner, surfacing alternatives earlier, & building a more empathetic culture for families facing complex genetic fertility cases. We're open to further dialogue & sent full documentation to Penn Medicine's CEO & VPs, requesting a review of our grievance outcome & the depts involved. We still believe in Penn Medicine's standards & hope leadership pursues a genuine, independent review & a fair resolution -- given our sense that care proceeded on incomplete informed consent. Due to char limits & platform rules, we're posting our full review & timeline elsewhere (other platforms/social). For future patients considering this clinic, our advice is included in the attached images.
