With military medicine sometimes there is a feeling of being a number. Dr Spitzer has been great though and has thoroughly explained things through the process and always answered any questions we've had.... There could haven been a bit more communication on different aspects of procedures during different phases. Other than that Dr Sputzer has been great. I've seen others have complaints about her bed side manner not being good but I haven't experienced anything like that.

Describe the protocols Trimble Spitzer used in your cycles at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and their degree of success.
I wish there could be more protocol on specific locations and she worked in one location. The communication with The Jones Institute could be better as we didn't have the paperwork the first time due to we didn't get it from the clinic the day before. I feel like the strategies and if thkngs arent happening positively then doing something different the next time.
