I just had my embryo transfer last week, and am now in the waiting period before we find out if the embryo has implanted. As I wait, I thought this would be a great time to reflect on my experience with Boston IVF and to express my gratitude to the staff. First of all, I’m just in awe of this incredible technology. I’m so grateful to those who have come before me, and have helped me get over my own nervousness by answering my questions and sharing advice. Regarding the staff, I’m really appreciative of the care I’ve gotten so far. My husband and I are working with Dr. Berger, and so our first consultation was in Quincy. We live on the MA/NH border but heard he was worth the extra drive time. Which he was! Very thorough and caring. We got two high quality embryos, which has us feeling hopeful. After that I did blood work and ultra sounds in the Waltham office. The early morning appointments really helped. The phlebotomists and ultra sound techs zipped me in quickly. For this 1st cycle, the nursing staff have always been super nice and thorough when they’d call with instructions. We decided to do genetic screening, so we did a frozen transfer. Dr. Berger did our transfer last week. So far it’s been an overwhelming, and an incredible experience. I’m so grateful to all of the staff who have played a role in helping us get to this point, including acupuncturist Lili with the Domar Center. I had an acupuncture treatment before and after the transfer, and it really helped. So, now I’ll go on with the waiting and use this outlet as a little therapy to hopefully create some good vibes! Thank you, Boston IVF and Dr. Berger and Lili!

Boston IVF was instrumental in helping us conceive our 2nd daughter. Our first came easily but after 2.5 years of trying we couldnt conceive and since I was nearing 40 we didnt want to wait any longer. We called Boston IVF and soon met with Dr. Sneeringer. She is fantastic!! The staff at Boston IVF is wonderful. After a preliminary minimally invasive procedure I got pregnant and when that resulted in a miscarriage they grieved right along with me and helped me move forward. We ended up doing the full IVF process (I used medications to grow multiple eggs, they harvested the eggs, they fertilized them with my husbands sperm and they re-inserted the now fertilized eggs into my uterus). Boston IVF helped us every step of the way from teaching me about the medications and showing us where to find detailed play by play demonstrations online, to giving updates after every blood test and ultrasound, to following up long after fertilization to see how the pregnancy was going. I cant say enough good things about Boston IVF. They felt like a family and worked with us to give us a precious gift - who is now 6 weeks and 4 days old.

I had 2 miscarriages right in a row and went to Boston IVF. Dr. Brian Berger was our first doctor, where we did IUIs and a round of IVF. He was FANTASTIC but when sold our home, his office in Quincy was too far away. We then went to Waltham Center and ended up switching doctors. I was pretty upset about the switch, as Dr. Berger was really awesome. We changed to Dr. Alper and he was great too. He always gave us straight answers and never wasted our time. Seeing that he was the founder of the clinic made us feel better too. Their Waltham office is much bigger than Quincy so it was a big change, but we loved the staff, especially Debi at the front desk. So caring and uplifting. She even gave us a hug when we saw her after we got the good news! I can’t say enough good things about the nurses there. They all felt like family and every single one reminded me of a protective mother who wanted the best for me haha. I never once felt alone. We had our baby girl five weeks ago and we are so thrilled! Highly recommend!

After having extremely upsetting experiences at two other clinics, I finally ended up at Boston IVF in Waltham. Dr. Penzias took the time to sit and explain the process, answer questions we had and help put our worries at ease. I was able to call with questions and concerns, the staff was wonderful and I finally felt positive about our situation. The other thing that was so important was the attention to detail to my specific needs. After several failed treatments this was crucial to the success of us being able to have a baby! He put thought in my individual case and came up with a plan we all felt confident and less stressed about. Only thing I would say is I wish some of the mind and body care was a little more affordable. Its upsetting and disappointing when treatment fails, but I felt like we finally had the support and attention we needed. We now have a beautiful baby boy!

I dont know if I can even come up with the words to describe the experience my husband and I had with Boston IVF. Dealing with infertility is a scary, and unknown path that can be isolating for the many couples who face it. From the very first call that we made, not knowing what questions to ask or how to get the process started, until we finally achieved our dream of becoming pregnant- we had full support from a highly educated team of providers. Every person you come in contact with is kind, understanding, and most importantly sensitive to youre specific needs as a patient. I never felt like a number, and I never felt like we were just another appointment to make a buck. For anyone battling infertility - you will not be disappointed choosing Boston IVF.

I started treatment with Dr. Thornton in February 2015. The doctors, nurses, and the entire team are very supportive, positive and realistic. We underwent treatment until November 2015 when we got pregnant with our first child. The experience at the Waltham office was just amazing - I miss seeing all their faces! We are currently (May 2017) seeking treatment out of the Worcester office for a possible second pregnancy. I love their online tracking tools for appointments and watching our cycles. Cant say enough great things. We also saw Dr. Zimon for an appt and Dr. Berger did our retrieval & transfer for our IVF cycle. An amazing team that works very well together - Id highly recommend them all if you are looking to start a family.

My husband and I have received care from all Boston IV providers that has been above and beyond. The level of professionalism, ability to understand all our needs and answered each and every question at a level comprehensible to a couple who really knows very little. Dr Sneeringer and Nurse Meg Kennedy have been by our side through the ups and some very sad downs. They always call us back the same day and take time to make sure we are comfortable with our fertitly treatments. No one really "wants" to go through fertility treatments but Id choose Boston IVF over any other provider (and we have met another provider ;( ).

Going through IVF is tough-I can sympathize and understand many peoples frustration. The doctors are good and knowledgeable, the staff was always great, the Domar center was very helpful, the place is spotless, billing and insurance is down to a science. Ive also tried RSC and there is no comparison. Its true-the doctors wont call you back unless absolutely necessary, just the nurses, but they always call you back that day. All in all, Im happy with Boston IVF, and I know lots of women who were able to conceive sooner or later.
