Prior to coming to Emory, I tried to save money by going to MIRACLE Surrogacy in Cancun, Mexico…read more Although, they claimed that their fertility rates were on par with the United States, after 2 failed transfers, I asked them for proof/evidence for their success rates. After they couldn't provide me with anything, I decided to restart the process in the United States. Instead of being blinded by the prospects of having a baby, I decided to research fertility clinics extensively. I decided to go to Emory, since they had the highest success rates and I felt comfortable speaking with the physicians. (I reached out to ACRM, Shady Grove Fertility, Pathways Fertility, and Reproductive Biology Associates too). The other places did not have a good selection of frozen embryos to choose from and they tried to charge extra money for using 3rd party organization donor eggs. Also, a few were very pushy and tried to offer unnecessary services that I knew were not recommended based on YouTube videos I watched online. Right now, I'm passed the 1st trimester and I want to share my review before the baby comes - and I won't have the time. I wanted to give a HUGE thanks to the Patient SRVS Coordinator Lorraine Smith-Richards, Nurse Clinician Stephanie Soloway, Nurse Laura Frings (very good at keeping me updated by calling and emailing), Dr. Heather Hipp, Dr. Audrey Marsidi (embryo transferor, which was successful on the first try), and Dr. James Toner for making this process possible. I absolutely loved Dr. Toner, since he was very responsive and easy to talk to. I'm really grateful for their team for making the process easy and successful on the first try!

Kindbody in Atlanta is a HORRIBLE place to go for your fertility needs! We have been coming here…read morefor almost a year now but that is only because of our insurance or else we would have left this place a long time ago! The front desk staff are NEVER welcoming. Every single time I go in, they never acknowledge me or welcome me. You would think if you work in a fertility clinic the staff ESPECIALLY the front desk employees would be welcoming. Absolutely NOT HERE. The ladies that take your blood ESPECIALLY Andrea are always in a bad mood too. When I try asking Andrea any type of question, she ALWAYS responds with an attitude. We also had a horrible experience finding out we had miscarried our first time. When I went in for my first ultrasound to check the sac and heartbeat, the main ultrasound tech whispered to the other nurse that was in the room with us about our miscarry. Instead of her telling us first, we found out by them whispering it to one another. It was very unprofessional. At first, I thought the only good doctor in this clinic was Dr. Cain but later found out we are only really a number to her. It seems like she is the only main fertility doctor here and doesn't even know who is who when she is communicating with her patients. On my second transfer, I insisted I get my progesterone levels checked the day before my transfer. Dr. Cain told me they normally don't check that but would check it if I wanted to. Well they checked my progesterone level and it was on the lower side. The next morning Dr. Cain had me raise my dose a few hours before my transfer. After my transfer, they rechecked my levels and they were within range. Imagine if I never asked to get my progesterone levels checked. Overall, this place is HORRIBLE! The worst experience for such a vulnerable time in my life. I would NOT recommend this place at all! Please consider finding a caring and welcoming place for your fertility needs elsewhere!

For one appointment we went in and he kept us waiting in the cold waiting room for an 1 hour and a half and there wasn't even an apology. After that we had a 2 hours with him which he kept saying the same thing 4 or 5 times in a row. Not even one time did he look up at us. His head was looking down on the papers the whole time reading our file and there was no eye contact. The next appointment was a little better. He left me in the waiting room for 45 minutes - came in and told me that they couldn't do anything else till my sugar was under control and then left. I was mad because he could have at least told me on this phone and not wasted my time with just that I dont like to go to a doctors office and not feel like they are not talking to us. I gave 2 stars for the lady that was taking us through the steps for the ivf, because she was very sweet, but we just stopped going now because of all of this. They have a telephone line that you need to call 4 or 5 times before they even respond. I switched from my other doctor because my family doctor told me that the outcomes over here are wonderful and they have a better success rate. But their customer service and following up sucks!! They are supposed to make this process easier, not harder.

When I started looking at fertility clinics I researched multiple, specifically looking at doctors…read moreand their bios. I really wanted a female doctor and found myself gravitating to Dr.Pavna Brahma. When I first found her, she was at RBA and after my first consult, I knew I wanted her to be my doctor. Dr.Brahma is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, kind and informative. I came with a list of questions and she graciously answered all of them and even diagrammed parts that were extra complicated. She never made me feel rushed, or stupid and spent the time that was needed to ensure I was comfortable. I went through my first egg retrieval with her, which netted out to one healthy embryo (after blastocyst and PGS testing). As I was going through my second retrieval, I found out Dr.Brahma had left RBA and I was given a different male doctor (Dr.Toledo). I was saddened to hear the news of her departure and nobody would tell me where she went. Dr.Toledo helped me finish out Dr.Brahmas protocol, which resulted in 4 healthy embryos. I ended up doing two transfers with Dr.Toledo, which unfortunately resulted in two failed transfers. Dr.Toledo was not able to give me good guidance on what went wrong or provide a solid plan going forward, so I went looking for a second opinion. Coincidentally, my OBGYN, recommended Dr.Brahma who I found out was at Shady Grove. I got a copy of medical records and went to Shady Grove to visit Dr.Brahma. When she saw us, she immediately embraced us, and was so welcoming, it felt like seeing an old friend. She glanced through our records and was immediately able to pinpoint areas for improvement. We ended up transferring our remaining embryos to Shady Grove and after my first transfer back with Dr.Brahma, I got pregnant. Unfortunately, it didn't progress beyond 5 weeks because the embryo quality was too low. We continued to work with Dr.Brahma and about 9 months later, I was pregnant again and this time, we made it past 6 weeks, then 8 weeks and eventually graduated from Shady Grove and released to my OBGYN. I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant and I know I wouldn't be here without Dr.Brahma. She was our saving grace. She was always very honest and open with us about our options, supported us throughout and always came to the table with a strong plan. She never let me lose faith and my husband and I firmly believe she is one of the best fertility specialists in the country. We would recommend her to anyone trying to conceive. She has every quality you would want in a doctor: empathetic, smart, well researched, incredible bedside manner, great communicator, thoughtful and thorough. Our journey to parenthood is because of her.

I cannot recommend Shady Grove Fertility after my experience with Dr. Pavna Brahma and the complete…read morelack of accountability from SGF leadership afterward. I underwent three egg retrievals and spent more than $37,000 out of pocket, with suboptimal results. While I fully understand that fertility treatment comes with no guarantees, my concerns are about the management of my care. I have known, manageable--and disclosed--hypothyroidism, yet my thyroid was not monitored throughout any of my treatment. Thyroid function and TSH are particularly important considerations in fertility care, which makes this oversight especially concerning. During what was supposed to be my fourth retrieval, an unrelated appointment found my TSH significantly elevated at 6.78. What followed was contradictory guidance from the care team, including confusion over whether SGF's TSH threshold of 2.5 even applied to my retrieval. I ultimately stopped treatment based on their guidance and was left with more than $3,000 in medication costs. When I raised my concerns with Dr. Brahma, I was extremely disappointed by her response and what I felt was a complete lack of accountability, understanding, or willingness to work toward a solution. Even more troubling was SGF leadership's lack of response. I spent months trying to resolve this privately. After briefly speaking with administration, I was assured my complaint would be addressed. When I heard nothing, I repeatedly followed up, including six separate voicemails and portal messages. Communication completely stopped. Zero follow up. Zero acknowledgement. I never received further outreach or any attempt at a meaningful resolution. I work in healthcare operations and I find this completely inexcusable. Failing to follow up on a serious patient complaint despite repeated attempts by the patient to resolve it is both unbelievable and deeply disappointing. After three retrievals, $37,000+, serious concerns about my care under Dr. Brahma, six unanswered calls, months of escalation, and ultimately no resolution, I have zero trust in Shady Grove Fertility and strongly encourage prospective patients to look elsewhere.

I originally booked my appointment approximately two weeks in advance. However, when I later…read morechecked the system, I noticed that my appointment had been moved one week later without my knowledge or consent. I did not call your office to request any change, nor did I receive any confirmation email or phone call regarding this rescheduling. When I contacted your office to ask about this issue, I was told that the change was made at the patient's request, which is incorrect. I clearly stated that I did not request any change and asked how my appointment could be moved without my authorization or notification. Despite this, I was informed that nothing could be done, even though the mistake was not mine. I then politely requested that the staff check with the doctor to see if I could come at any time on my original appointment date, as I am flexible. I was told that the staff member would check with the doctor and call me back. Unfortunately, I never received a call. When I followed up later the same day, I was told that the staff member was still "in a meeting with the provider." When I called again several hours later, I was told to hold, and then informed that she "did not mean to call" me at all. This response was extremely dismissive and disrespectful. As of now, I am still waiting for a callback. The lack of communication, accountability, and basic courtesy from the front desk staff has been very disappointing. This situation reflects very poorly on your office's patient service standards. I hope this matter can be reviewed seriously and corrected as soon as possible. I would appreciate confirmation of my appointment status and an explanation of how this situation occurred.

There is no number to call to speak with finance. It took almost two months to get a simple prior auth with our insurance due to RBA sending incorrect records and delays with resending. Then, we needed a new prior authorization sent which again was declined due to missing information. We lost multiple months and cycles. Their clinical team is rude and provides inaccurate information. They schedule for incorrect procedures, or none at all (good luck getting a call back to schedule!) Scheduling simple tests also takes 2 to three weeks. Their app is constantly down but thats the only way to communicate with anyone. Doctors provide completely unrealistic timelines and outcomes.They are not on the same page with anyone on their admin team RBA is also more expensive than others. Go elsewhere if possible.

I wasn't going to write a review because the doctor I saw, she was amazing and I loved her…read more Unfortunately, you only see the Dr once or twice throughout the whole process for an egg retrieval and I have never had a worse experience. When I requested to speak to someone about it numerous times I was completely blown off except by the Dr who said she would express my concerns. There were issues with misrepresentation of services, surprise billing, breaking hippa by an anesthesiologist who confused me with another patient and then realized her mistake and shared some of that patients history with me as an explanation further breaking hippa. There were repeated communication failures that have resulted in financial harm, added stress and compromised medical care. When my specialist called the answering service needing to speak to my Dr the message was never sent to her, they were never directed to a Dr on call and no one spoke with him. Drs don't usually call on the weekend unless there is a serious concern which there was and had my Dr been made aware there is no doubt in my mind she would have reached out. Additional issues include: * A $280 charge for laboratory tests that were never drawn that I had to spend time and energy getting them to remove because I didn't have them done there. I uploaded results from my dr after she has them done and it only cost me about $30 * A promised billing call that never occurred * Constant incorrect pricing - they documented the FDA exam pricing in an email and then tried to overcharge me after and I had to show their staff the email so they would match it While individual staff members have been courteous, the administrative and billing practices reflect poor coordination, lack of transparency, and disregard for patient safety. I will finish the review when I have more time but if you are looking for a fertility clinic I cannot recommend them. They told me one cost and charged me another, ended up costing much more then I was told I'd spend, we're not good about communicating, didn't provide all my records when requested and the other Dr I dealt with for my removal, seemed like he had a bad bedside manner and seemed rushed and uncaring.
