Review of
Dr Crain seemed very knowledgeable on treatment processes and straightforward in communicating the issues in fertility we were having and best course of action. However this straightforwardness was also a weak point as the shock of infertility is very sensitive time and Dr Crain communicated in a very blunt medical speak way that didn't show any compassion for the situation.
Monitoring appointments [at REACH- Charlotte] required you to be there on a first come first serve basis in the morning for doors to open at 7am, if not there early then you would be waiting sometimes significant amount of time.... Clinic is only clinic in Charlotte and through our visits it felt like they took advantage of it. Pricing was never straightforward. When you first visit they lay it out on what your expected total cost will be for treatment, but then you're told you should probably do this test, and then another test, that eventually add up to significant amounts on top of what you already planned for. Of course you'll agree to do these tests because you want to do whatever you can to have a successful procedure, but after doing research on these items and what they were suggesting we felt like we got shafted on a number of items.
