RMA of Colorado - Conceptions Reproductive Associates

When we first met with Dr. Bush we had already had several other procedures with other doctors. He had studied my history, empathized with my current situation, and outlined how we could be successful going forward. I felt like he genuinely cared about our case and was very confident in his capabilities.

We had been told not to expect a really human feeling with Dr Bush and that he isn't good at bedside manner. I completely disagreed with that assessment. He was very straight forward with what was going on after all our tests came back and he was honest with our options and gave us statistics of success with each given diagnosis. He gave us all medicated and unmedicated options and left the path up to us, as it should be.

Dr. O'Shaughnessy is extremely blunt. From our very first meeting she seemed extremely annoyed with any questions that myself or my husband had. I felt like my previous treatment and diagnosis from my first fertility doctor in California, was brushed aside and my medical history didn't really matter to her. She made a comment during our consultation that alluded to do my PCOS diagnosis as false and that she didn't trust my first doctor's diagnosis and would be coming to her own conclusions. I have only seen her in person three times in almost a year.all of my correspondence regarding my treatment is done through a nurse. My ultrasounds are all done by an ultrasound tech. Dr. O'Shaughnessy immediately wanted to jump into IVF without trying any other options and I had to be the one to ask for other options first. When we last met with her she thought that I had asked if I could try another round of time to intercourse and slightly chuckled at that idea because she said my only options are IVF at this point. It just felt like we were in annoyance to her and she had better things you could be doing with her time.

My heart is very tender with the topic of infertility and her cold, factual, and transactional bedside manner makes it harder. I feel like I am just another case for her.

From the moment I sat down not only did he refer to us as Mr. & Mrs he then asked what we preferred to be called. He also asked us about our journey and what we would like to do next.

I came to Dr. Bush to see if I would be able to do a FET with myself and whether I could build a lining. My previous doctor had recommended a surrogate to carry our embryos. Dr. Bush actually reviewed my oncology medical records, and came up with a plan to see if I could build a lining. In his words, he wanted to see if I had a fighting chance before we went through surrogacy. Even though he knows a surrogate will be our best chance to give our embryos, he knew that is was also important to see if I could transfer myself. He has first hand reviewed my case and came up with a 3 month plan to see if I respond to estrogen. He is giving me my chance to see what my body can do.

While Dr. Bush is known for being very direct, I felt like a human because he knew my case inside and out by the time I sat down for a consultation. He knew what our end goal was (biological children) and kept the conversation focused on that.

Dr Bush was wonderful. He was very honest in his assessment and recommendations. He gave us hope, but not false hope. He went the extra mile to make sure testing and procedures were done well

I feel like I am more of a human here. They know my name, they answer questions, and they give tons of information up front. There is no secrecy in things, it is all laid out for you.

Dr. Bush made a point to review all pertinent history and acknowledged/ validated feelings during difficult treatment outcomes.

I never met a doctor until we needed a regroup. Before that I saw nurses and nurse practitioners. The doctors seemed hands off with patients. However the staff I did interact with were nice.

Dr. Bush always remembers the specifics of our case when we meet. He explains things in a way that is easy to understand, and is willing to go into as much scientific detail as we want. I appreciate that he wants us to understand how IVF works, and how it's working in my body specifically. He also always considered my questions.

The didn't have direct contact with Dr Bush but only his nurse. But I would say that his direction and concern were noted through the interaction with his nurse.

Although he did give me a specific protocol, I wasn’t told why he made the decisions he made. It’s also unclear why we struggle to conieve when al my numbers and my husbands numbers are normal range or better.

He took the time to explain everything in layman's terms to my husband and I. It felt like he wasn't just there to up his ART score and genuinely wanted to help us. We talked about things we had tried in the past, and one he wanted to suggest since we were successful with it (but had a miscarriage), but the reactions I had to the medicine were so bad that I refused and he accepted that with genuine understanding.

Dr. Bush was amazing at explaining procedures and what to expect while going through different procedures as well as explained the statistics of IVF working! He made sure my husband and I understood everything before going on to another subject... even drew us pictures!

I first used Dr. Bush during 2013 for our first fresh IVF cycle which resulted in twins, and one frozen embryo. I came to him after being unsuccessful at another clinic which my insurance was helping to cover. My insurance didn’t cover anything at Conceptions but we wanted a second opinion. He immediately found a septum in my uterus which he removed via surgery. He is very honest and straight forward. I want a doctor this way as I hate being dragged around and given false hope. My IVF went perfectly and I became pregnant with twin boys! That IVF also resulted in one frozen embryo. Four years later we had moved out of state and were ready to do a FET. It was extremely stressful working with a clinic in my home state and relying on them to get Conceptions what they needed. One week before the scheduled FET, the nurse at conceptions called to tell me they may need to cancel...the ultrasounds and Information my clinic was sending was just not looking like I was ready. This was heartbreaking. After I hung up the phone with the nurse Dr. Bush called me himself and reviewed my entire history with me and said he felt comfortable moving forward despite the info they were given (basically the clinic here was saying my body wasn’t ready for the transfer but Dr Bush disagreed). He was right and I became pregnant with my daughter. I have never trusted a doctor like I did Dr. Bush.

Dr. Greene took time to meet me and my husband when our first doctor left the practice. He was kind, very educated, blunt but not to the point of rudeness, encouraged us to reach out to him via email if he couldn't be reached by phone, and explained why he was making changes to a protocol for better success.

Dr. Swanson was always in a hurry as most infertility doctors are but he did show empathy and was kind.

Dr. Greene (and his entire staff) was very personable. He actually sat and listened to every single question and went into so much detail when answering. We could call/email with any questions, any time. Still to this day!! He treated MY specific needs due to previous medical history and did everything to make sure our cycle worked

He was wonderful. He took a lot of time with us, answered all of our questions, and was frank with us about the predicted outcomes. He was right!

DR. Riggs took the time to explain everything is great detail. He treats you like you are part of his family. He is extremely knowledgeable and willing to talk at any time.

I absolutely LOVED Conceptions. I got 1:1 personal attention from my IVF nurse coordinator (Ericka P). She was responsive, excited and dedicated to my treatment. She often cried at every good turn before i had the chance to! I like to ask a lot of questions and know the ends and out of my treatment and she loved supplying all of the information. This office is ran SO well which keep me sane and able to get through such a difficult time.

Dr. Bush's staff of nurses were wonderful. I couldn't say anything better about the kindness they offered me - they were responsive, personable, thoughtful and just generally great. I was very sad when, at 12 weeks, I left their care for my regular OB.

Dr. Riggs never rushed us. We always had a good amount of time to speak to him and he always explained exactly what was going to happen. Also, he was ALWAYS on time, and I think that's SO important.
