Reviews

At the beginning I wish that he was a bit more optimistic instead of giving facts. It would have made me feel a bit better about perusing IVF

The doctor was very personable. She described everything she was doing and I even got to watch the monitor to see what she was seeing. I thought it was nice that she has already reviewed my charts and brought up future appointments that she would be seeing me for. She even gave me tips to make my future procedures more comfortable.
