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!

Dr. Owen was truly amazing in every way. She took the time to genuinely listen and understand what we needed. She has such a caring heart and always made me feel like I was her most important patient. She carefully analyzed every result and personally called with detailed explanations, which meant so much during such an emotional process. I always felt like I was in the very best hands. Under her care, we had two successful egg retrievals, and on our first transfer, we got pregnant. We are beyond grateful -- there really aren't enough words to express how thankful we are. That said, the billing department needs significant improvement. Communication was very difficult -- phone calls often went unanswered with no callbacks, and responses were typically limited to once per day. Payments were missed on their end, so I strongly recommend tracking everything carefully. Bills were also not sent promptly. Overall, while the administrative side was frustrating, Dr. Owen made all the difference in our journey, and for that we will always be thankful.

We lost this pseudo-holiday to drive here and wait.

They called me 15 minutes before I was supposed to arrive for my appointment and said the doctor was actually in a different (further away) office so can I drive to that office instead. I said no (I was literally packing my kids in the car to drop them off at daycare and would not make it in time to the other office for my appointment time). They rescheduled me for the following day. When I got home and looked at my work calendar I realized that would not work, called back immediately (maybe 45 minutes after their initial call) and asked for another time. They said no, they can't reschedule me for this week because they already gave me the next available once (what?) I would have to wait another month at least. YOUR mistake in scheduling is not my issue. I was not offered an apology for the mistake. To be fair I am waiting for a call from the office manager to see if we can correct the issue- but still so much stress for a very easy solution....

Dr. James Kacedan is one of the best!! My review is long…read moreoverdue but I speak the truth when I say Dr. Kacedan, hands down is the BEST. 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!!!

below is my horror story with Shady Grove Fertility (SGF)…read more I had two cycles with Eric Levens at SGF, leaving me with nothing but 3 breast tumors. I have AFC of about 10, Levens retrieved 0, you don't see it wrong, zero eggs from the 1st cycle. I consulted several other doctors, all agreed this cycle should have been skipped or canceled due to a large cyst, but Levens never mentioned about the cyst during both cycles. My E2 dropped to almost close to the beginning of the cycle after the cyst disappeared and I asked him about reason, he still said it was due to low reserve of eggs and insisted a retrieval. It seems that he either didn't look at the ultrasound or was unable to interpret the results correctly. I even reminded him that I was just back from a long international trip and I was ok with skip a cycle if my physical condition was not optimal. I asked to include all FDA requested or recommended test for surrogacy, but he omitted the FDA required transmittal tests (not the usual test before cycle, but HIV, West Nile virus, etc). Basically, these two cycles will not meet my need even if they got a good embryo, partially because of my now breast condition. I also told him both of my paternal aunts had cancers and one of them died of breast cancer and I was a couple months from 40. He never mentioned a check up of breast, and suggested no steps such as using letrozole to suppress E2, which is common for patients with breast conditions. All other clinics I consulted after the two cycles recommended me to check up and it turned out out the tumors are cancers and I had double mastectomy a few months after the cycle. He would not pay attention to anything but grab money from you. Also, Dr. G from CCRM Lone Tree got me 12 eggs retrieved with 8 matured and a high grade embryo passing the PGT-A test in one cycle, as a contrast to what Levens did.

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.
