This office [Vermont Cntr for Repro Med] orgot to schedule me. I had to ask for another doctor to work with because I did call in and she forgot to get me scheduled for the test that I had to wait for my period to start to get. We are three months out and still waiting to even get started on the process because more and more tests came up. They redid tests and those took months to do. They were uncomfortable tests. The stress level is there already so a clinic should have staffing every day to schedule appointments like a vets office.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Vermont Center for Reproductive Medicine.
One nurse was outright cruel. While she was measuring a follicle she said that she saw a polyp on my ovary that would have to be removed before I got pregnant. That scared me beyond belief then the DR came in and said everything was normal. It was sick.

Weaknesses, women are not able to set their period to start on a monday when the office is open and its hard to keep setting up planning while working and scheduling etc. This office forgot to schedule me.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Vermont Center for Reproductive Medicine.
My thyroid level was to be increased. Local pharm said they did not call it in. Dr on call did not schedule appointment causing a delay for another month to get a test done. The test had to be redone because the dr or tech could not get clear results. Several tests that I did not get results for so I am assuming that everything was fine like pap etc. The scare of the nurse saying there was something on the sonogram and then the dr saying everything was fine upset my husband and I.
