An acquaintance won a lawsuit for punctured uterus and intestine about which she lied to the ER that she caused which misled their care.

I urge you to read this and the recent Google reviews before seeing Dr hersh…read more All in all, it was one of the worst medical experiences of my life. I would give a zero if I could. If you are concerned about your age, weight, fertility, etc. do your self a favor and find someone else who will be kinder and less fat phobic. She's incredibly unprofessional and rude. I especially do not recommend seeing Dr. Hersh if you are struggling with infertility, have PCOS, or are overweight/obese. On my first visit for PCOS she painted the absolute worst case scenario for fertility, telling me I would likely need to spend up to $50,000 on IVF to conceive my first child if I don't lose weight. This was before reading any of my medical records or talking to me about my concerns. I'm all for realistic information and don't want things sugar coated, but Dr. Hersh was thoughtless and hurtful. Further, I'm 34 and she told me I needed to freeze my eggs asap or else my kid would be more likely to get a host of terrible genetic conditions. I got several other opinions and they were all much more fact based on risks and said at this point my husband and I didn't need to worry about freezing my eggs upon actual medical testing. They were so much more positive and kind. Dr. Hersh also did not give me any warning before putting the clamps in during my appointment. Also the nurse couldn't figure out how to draw my blood and it took many mess ups and a supervisor to get it out. Of course it sometimes take a few tries but this was not normal.

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with VCRM. From the very beginning, I felt…read moresupported, cared for, and truly seen during such an emotional journey. After dealing with infertility for over 7 years, I truly never thought I would be able to conceive. Dr. Fady Sharara changed my life for the better--he gave me hope when I felt like there was none, and I will forever be grateful for that. His expertise, compassion, and dedication made all the difference for me. I'm so thankful for the protocol he created that worked for my situation, and I genuinely hope he can continue to help others who are just like me find their own success and happiness. A huge thank you to his wonderful nurses, Jill and Jessica, who were always there with kindness, patience, and reassurance whenever I needed it most. They made such a difference in my experience. I also want to recognize Maggie and Trisha at the front desk. No matter what kind of day I was having, they always greeted me with warmth and a smile, making me feel welcome and cared for. This journey isn't always easy, but having a team like this behind you makes all the difference. I'm beyond grateful for everyone at VCRM for their support and dedication, and I'm so excited for this new chapter ahead.

After the consultation with him and interacting with the staff, my husband and I trusted him to help us on our fertility journey. Dr. Sharara is very knowledgeable and an expert in the field, which made me feel comfortable and confident in putting our trust in him. I appreciated that he did a very thorough and comprehensive diagnostic work up to figure out the best treatment plan. As someone who is also in the healthcare field, I very much appreciate having more data. The nurses (Ava and Jessica), billing coordinator (Trish), and other staff (Maggie) were also wonderful. Compared to the brief experience that I had with a large fertility clinic, VCRM felt like a white glove service. I graduated this week from the clinic at eight and a half weeks pregnant and am incredibly grateful to Dr. Sharara and the entire VCRM team for their guidance, care, and support. I know that I'm very lucky to have only had to do one round of IVF and for the first transfer to be successful. Dr. Sharara gave me agency to decide when to start IVF (I personally didn't want to spend much time doing IUI) and was supportive of all my decisions as long as they were medically sound. I highly recommend Dr. Sharara and the entire VCRM staff!

He is a great listener, with a great bedside manner, his old office team (nurses and admin) were also the best - they were caring, always smiling, and warm - always jokes and laughs giving good energy in the office. This is no reflection on his new team but I honestly cannot speak about the current team bc I moved out of town and have not had the opportunity to engage with them. I was Dr. Kacedan's patient for 5+ yrs. The Bottom Line Up Front is He Cares!!! He has always been supportive, timely, willing to research, willing to address any questions, helpful when trying to determine the best path forward, and he has been accommodating to take a call even after I moved - A 5 ***** Star Doctor in my book!!!

She either looked over my chart, or spoke with the nurse before meeting me, and started our conversation right away addressing my situation. This may seem so small- but I can tell you it's not the norm for other physicians in the industry. I've seen the same OBGYN multiple days in a row, even while getting ready for surgery- and had them suggest multiple times that I could start a "new" medication, when I'm already on that medication. In a busy practice with lots of patients I can only imagine how difficult it is to be on time and keep things straight, but it's a terrible feeling when you're at some of your lowest moments to realize your doctor doesn't have the faintest idea who you are and couldn't be bothered to glance at your chart before scurrying into your room. Dr. Bannon made me feel like a person who mattered, and that is a lost gift. She did not make me feel rushed, and took the time to talk about my concerns and answered all of my questions. I'm so, so relieved I found her. Definitely worth the wait in trying to make an appointment and see her for the first time.

This is because she wants to see less patients, but still make the same amount of money. The healthcare system in this country leaves a lot to be desired...

Good to know you don't care about your patients unless they have enough money to be worth your time. What a disappointment. I've been seeing you since I was 14 years old and I really thought you were better than this. We live in a nation where being healthy is a privilege for the affluent, and that is truly a shame.

This team of doctors was highly recommended and when I met both Dr. Patel and Dr. Rausch, they were spectacular. They BOTH know exactly what they are talking about. I had had two miscarriages and was having trouble conceiving. Dr. Patel got right on it, no nonsense and direct to the point. I trusted her completely and by the end of last year, I delivered a healthy baby boy. Dr. Rausch saw me post partum and she was in the delivery room. I was excited to have a team of doctors that cared for me and knew their stuff! Sometime in the spring of this year, I received notification that they'd go to a concierge service which is like a membership service where you have to pay a fee to be their patient. I understand part of it is the insurance companies screwing them over so this new platform would have the patient foot the bill. I really can't blame them but as a patient I also cannot quantify the cost. Which sucks because before I moved I saw THREE doctors and no one helped me the way these brilliant doctors have. As far as their skill and knowledge goes, they truly are the best. I wish them the best, I truly did love them and the staff, I feel like we bonded through my pregnancy journey and I wish I could have stayed longer for them to help me with any future pregnancies.
