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. Peterson, Allison, & Tara were truly amazing and I can't thank them enough. They kept me informed, made sure all my questions were answered and helped us have conceive.

I appreciated how on schedule they were, I never had to wait past my appointment times and I always got quick responses to any questions I had. I highly recommend Pinnacle Fertility to anyone looking into IVF.

We now have a 2 year old son and pregnant with identical twin girls all from IVF treatments. A huge thank you to our coordinator Yanely, Allison, Dr. Z, Dr. Peterson and Dr. Larson. You all have been amazing throughout our journey and we owe our family to your medical expertise. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We have recommend this facility to close friends who now also have children due to IVF treatments from Pinnacle. The process is tough, but the entire staff and their system makes you feel heard, taken care of and is with you every step of the way. We highly recommend this practice.

I'm a pretty private person, so sharing something this personal publicly isn't really my style. But…read moreif this review helps even one person who's feeling overwhelmed or wondering whether they should keep going, then it's worth writing. Like so many people who walk through these doors, we were hoping for the chance to grow our family. Today, I got to bring my daughter imto the clinic to meet the team that helped make that possible, and it was a really special full-circle moment. Of course Dr. Couvarus was wonderful and incredibly knowledgable, but I especially want to recognize the incredible women on the support team. Shout out Keelin and Lindsey! They are the people you communicate with constantly throughout the process, and they truly made all the difference for me. They were always kind, patient, reassuring, and quick to answer questions. No matter how many questions I had, I never felt like I was bothering anyone. During a process that can feel incredibly emotional and uncertain, having people who genuinely care is invaluable. What stood out most to me was that I never felt like just another patient. When I came back with my daughter, everyone was genuinely excited to meet her. It reminded me that they had been invested in our journey from the very beginning, and that meant more than I can put into words. To anyone reading this who's in the middle of infertility treatments or feeling like giving up, I know how heavy that road can feel. I hope seeing reviews like this reminds you that there are success stories waiting to be written. Thank you to Dr. Couvarus and the entire team for helping us welcome our daughter into the world. Our family will always be grateful.

How do you even put into words what IVF Phoenix has given me? Dr. Covaras is part scientist, part…read moremiracle worker, and part coach. Before we even started IVF, he suggested changes that made me healthier and stronger. That alone changed my life. Fast forward: after a few IUIs, he knew it was time to move forward with IVF. He never pushed, he simply guided us with wisdom and care. Sometimes he explains things in a way that makes your head spin, but then you see the results and realize he really does know exactly what he is doing. Working with him, his wife Rhoda, and the whole staff felt like being part of a team that wanted our family as much as we did. Today I have two beautiful children because of them, and I have never been a better version of myself. If you are considering IVF, go here. They will change your life.

I would highly recommend to not use SWFC for egg freezing. There's a serious lack of patient care,…read moredisregard for patient experience, and was consistently financially predatory in my case. I used this clinic, recommended by my work's provider, for one round of egg freezing. I had some really nice nurses and positive interactions with the upstairs office, but had a really negative overall experience with the doctor/office in general. This office doesn't have any appointment reminders (no calls, texts, emails, or automation). The office kept billing my insurance because the doctor "feels like it" instead of my original coverage from work, likely because it got the office more money. I had to fight to get the billing department to correct, so unprofessional and unhelpful. I asked to have my second consultation waived since I knew I wanted to move forward after blood work, which the doctor agreed to, but then said I couldn't have notes from our conversation since I opted out. Seriously? I wanted to save myself $200 and two hours of my time, so I'm not allowed notes is poor patient care. Most importantly, I ended up getting OHSS after my retrieval and was incredibly under prepared. I never would have come into the office post retrieval (another $300 and two hours) had I been given notes from my procedure or adequate notes on how to manage OHSS. Financially predatory imo. Plus, I literally couldn't breathe normally and was told my "doctor" was too busy to see me due to new patients. Now, it's been more than a month since my retrieval, and I still have no documentation on how to access my own eggs stored here. This has been the worst patient care/experience I've had to deal with and I hope this saves some women from going through a bad experience like I did.

She is not only an adorable human being, she is also wonderful at what she does! My second pregnancy was the complete opposite of my first pregnancy, and Dr. Stadnick always took the time to explain and weigh all pros and cons of any questions I had. I love the nursing staff at this practice. For the amount of pregnant and non-pregnant women they see on a daily basis, the entire practice handles everything so beautifully and with smiles on their faces. While I'm done having babies, I'm almost tempted to have one more just for the sole pleasure of seeing Dr. Grade, Dr. Stadnick, Diselle and all the other nurses on a frequent basis again for 9 months.

I received responses to portal messages faster than I have ever experienced with any other doctor's office, and the ACFS team went above and beyond to care for me as a patient. I have zero complaints about this office, only glowing recommendations and accolades.

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!
