Dr. Barnard is SO kind! She makes you feel like you are in the driver's seat of your treatment...works to collaborate with you on the plan...is so personable...IVF with ICSI and PGT testing - I had recurrent losses due to genetic abnormalities...She was willing to do whatever I opted to do
My only negative is that I wish [Shady Grove Fertility] had better communication. My nurse was not the best at keeping me in the loop of next steps...forgot to message me frequently to tell me to stop/start medications....Long wait times for monitoring appointments...Lab staff are great at blood draws. Ultrasound staff are always friendly
