Being of advanced maternal age (40+), having multiple uterine fibroids (11), and less than stellar labs, I knew the odds were not in my favor. However, Dr. V was completely unfazed and welcomed the challenge! Undergoing an open myomectomy followed by my first round of IVF 10 months later was not easy, but my husband and I are so grateful we had the ArkLaTex Fertility family by our side! After just one round and only one transfer we are now expecting our miracle twins... a healthy baby boy and baby girl!! From the beginning of our journey with them until our graduation from the clinic, Dr. V and his team made my husband and I feel like actual people, not just patients. We truly felt heard, seen, and cared for every step of the way. We couldn't give this clinic higher regards and highly recommend to anyone who is battling infertility.Fertility clinic

Me and wife are very grateful and definitely recommend him without a doubt. 5 Stars isn't enough for the amazing experience....After years of trying and then searching for highly rated clinics in our area ...and then the time spent going in for treatments I can honestly say that choosing Dr. Vandermolen…After years of trying and then searching for highly rated clinics in our area ...and then the time spent going in for treatments I can honestly say that choosing Dr. Vandermolen and the team at Arklatex Fertility was the best choice we could've made on our infertility journey. I am now pregnant with twins and we couldn't be happier and its all thanks to Dr. Vandermollen his team! Dr. V was always so kind and patient answering all my questions and listening to my concerns. They were also always really good about calling me back when I had any questions or concerns and I'm sure I had a lot lol! I can't say enough about how great they were with everything and I can't say enough good things about Dr. Vandermollen and his team for making something that seriously felt impossible possible lol! I will forever be greatful to Dr. Vandermollen and his staff❤️I’ll give 2 stars because we did have 1 successful round of IUI here. Unfortunately that pregnancy ended in stillbirth at 25 weeks. We paid for the package of 3 rounds of IUI. I…I’ll give 2 stars because we did have 1 successful round of IUI here. Unfortunately that pregnancy ended in stillbirth at 25 weeks. We paid for the package of 3 rounds of IUI. I called the clinic 4-5 weeks later to ask if my other 2 rounds of IUI were still open for use since I did not have a live birth, and I was told by a secretary that they had “expired.” We went through 4 additional rounds of IUI, paying round by round, all unsuccessful. No additional diagnostic testing was completed. IVF was on the table, but I refused to pay that amount of money since I had success conceiving with IUI already before. I was encouraged multiple times not to go to another clinic because “our prices are the lowest around here.” After spending an insane amount of money at this clinic I decided to try another clinic in town. They immediately performed diagnostic testing, started treatment for an extremely fixable issue, and I’m now pregnant. This was all within a month. And prices were the same. Also to add, there was an incredible amount of staff turnover. One “nurse” had all of my dates & instructions wrong for IUI and I had to teach her how it works, since it was my 3rd or 4th round. I also waited on average 30-60+ minutes to be brought back for each visit. Dr V is a knowledgable physician and I’m sure he’s doing what he knows. I wanted to like it here since I do have friends who have had positive experiences, but unfortunately that was not the case for me.After years of infertility, including multiple rounds of IUI and IVF, moving to Dr. Vandermolen's clinic changed the course of my journey.

What sets him apart is not just his expertise, it is the way he truly listens and looks at the full picture. Instead of continuing down the same path, he approached my situation thoughtfully and individualized my care in a way that made sense for my body. At the point I had decided to see him, I was focused on improving my own health, trying to find the root cause of my infertility. By the grace of God, I am now naturally 20 weeks pregnant. If you're feeling stuck, unheard, discouraged, or like you've run out of options, I cannot recommend Dr. Vandermolen enough. He gave me answers, hope, and was a shining light. Everyone's journey is different, and I pray for those who are in this situation.Absolutely ADORE Dr. V and staff! Just started seeing them in January and I have had a wonderful experience.

The doctor is so kind, compassionate and FUNNY! Fingers crossed he has the magic touch to make our baby dreams a reality! ❤️After years of treatment, I can honestly say that choosing Dr. Vandermolen and the team at Arklatex Fertility was one of the best decisions we made on our infertility journey.…After years of treatment, I can honestly say that choosing Dr. Vandermolen and the team at Arklatex Fertility was one of the best decisions we made on our infertility journey. From the very beginning, Dr. V and his staff made us feel supported, heard, and truly cared for. Dr. Vandermolen always took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process and never made us feel rushed. During some of the hardest and most emotional moments, he showed genuine compassion and understanding, which meant more to us than words can express. The entire staff at Arklatex Fertility is incredible. They are kind, knowledgeable, and always willing to help in any way they can. After years with them, they felt more like family than just a medical team. We are forever grateful for Dr. V and everyone at Arklatex Fertility. If I could go back and change anything, it would be starting with Dr. Vandermolen from the very beginning of our infertility journey. I cannot recommend them highly enough.We have spent a couple years with Dr. V and his staff. Every step of the way he listened and was encouraging. I cannot express how much they have done for us. Every appointment,…We have spent a couple years with Dr. V and his staff. Every step of the way he listened and was encouraging. I cannot express how much they have done for us. Every appointment, every procedure they were patient and compassionate. If I was scared or concerned they were there to reassure me. His staff remembers who you are, he remembers things that most doctors don't. Every appointment he took his time and listened and made suggestions. If I forgot something and had to call in the middle of the night he answered or Kam answered. We tried several options before IVF and after our second round of IVF we are officially graduating, pregnant with twins. I highly recommend anyone struggling with infertility to see Dr.V, he is the best.Unfortunately, I had a very heartbreaking and frustrating experience here. I had my first round of IVF at this clinic and drove from Arkansas for my appointments. I did make it…Unfortunately, I had a very heartbreaking and frustrating experience here. I had my first round of IVF at this clinic and drove from Arkansas for my appointments. I did make it very clear I preferred a frozen transfer and to genetically test my embryos. I did not want to rush the process, and I wanted to do everything possible to increase my odds of success. I was not listened to. The entire process was rushed, and my husband and I were pressured to do a fresh transfer. I was recommended to do things like a betadine douche that is really not commonplace practice anymore and outdated. When the transfer of two embryos completely failed, then I was then told let’s do a frozen transfer and try a biopsy next time. I asked about growth hormone to increase egg quality, and that was suggested it wasn’t tried first as it is too expensive. Wasting $30,000 on a failed round is much more expensive than adding another medication that can help. I was extremely depressed after this. Auxiliary staff treated us unprofessionally at times, like when asked about medication education it was too much trouble to discuss this. I was successful my first attempt at KindBody, and am thankful I got a second opinion. I now have a 2.5 month old I am incredibly thankful for.Dr. Vandermolen is a brilliant surgeon and is anointed by God to treat his patients. He is patient and amicable. He changed our lives with a miracle….twice. I will always love him!Dr. V and his team at Arklatex Fertility were phenomenal. My wife and I tried for two years before visiting this establishment.

My wife was diagnosed with endometriosis and two ovarian cysts. Dr. V removed them using microscopic surgery. Then, he put her on some over-the-counter medications to increase fertility. After these two steps, my wife got pregnant just 8 months later. We now have a healthy baby girl!Dr. Vandermollen and his staff are very professional, very thorough, and very knowledgeable.

But more than that they are kind and patient, happy to explain things in as much detail as you need as well as understanding and flexible when our circumstances and needs changed dramatically. They are also very good at what they do. We had success on the first attempt. Highly recommend.We saw Dr. V for the first time in 2021.

He was very thorough and did several tests before attempting an IUI. We had three IUI's, each one they added more meds or shots, and on the third IUI we got pregnant with our first little girl. She was born in April 2022. We returned to ArkLaTex Fertility in Aug 2024 to have another IUI done. He was very proactive and ran another test to check some things out before having us spend the money for shots. We got pregnant with only one IUI, and are expecting in June 2025. Our success rate is 2/4 which is pretty good! We know that God gives life but are very thankful for the help and services of Dr. V to help us get our babies! The staff has always been very helpful and kind as well. We haven't had a bad experience in all our times going to the clinic. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!If you want to get pregnant go see Dr. V! He knows what he’s doing!Dr vandermolen and his staff are the best in the areaThe absolute BEST! Dr. Vandermolen and his staff were so kind and so helpful!!

After much debating we found Dr. Vandermolen and are now pregnant with our last little blessing. We graduated the clinic yesterday and could not be more grateful! The staff are so friendly and helpful and Dr. Vandermolen is truly amazing! You feel heard and they go out of their way to make sure you understand everything. My very first apt was a telemed at 7pm going over options that lasted over an hour. He made sure to see me that day no matter how late and answered every question. I knew then it was a great fit! We got pregnant with ivf our first round!Dr V. and all the staff are amazing! You always feel like you matter as you rather than a paycheck.

No two people are the same and they value your uniqueness as a human being. Some clinics feel mechanical but here you will feel like you are among great friends! We are a two time success story thanks to ArkLaTex after years of no answers and one clinic switch from a machine to here. I can't sing their praises loud enough! Thank you to everyone at ArkLaTex for doing the impossible for our family!We tried for 3 years to get pregnant and finally reached out to Dr. V and his team and after a successful IUI , we are blessed with two babies on the way!!

The receptionist "Ms J" was the most rude, and inconsiderate person we have ever encountered. Even when we called back for questions and concerns as she initially sent the new patient forms to the wrong (incorrect) email address. So much so that we didn't even bother to cancel our appointment to try and get our 150.00 back. Consider it a tip doc because with receptionist's like the ones that you have, you will need every penny you can get!After struggling for 3 years to get pregnant, Dr.Vandermolen made it happen!

I am so very thankful and pray that God blesses Dr.V throughout his life. We did 2 IUI’s and were successful on our 2nd IUI. Dr.V monitored everything, and changed plans when things did not work. I am so, so thankful that I was led to ArkLaTex fertility. Front desk was always friendly and inviting, nurses were amazing!Our experience with Dr. Vandermolen and his staff was absolutely amazing.

The office is extremely busy, which indicated the level of success to us, yet even with that the appointment wait times were reasonable. Our conditions were evaluated and a plan was established that resulted in our pregnancy on the second attempt of IUI. During that time Dr. Vandermolen’s staff accommodated our schedule. If we decide to have a second child we will certainly be returning to this excellent Dr and his competent staff.We absolutely love Dr Vandermolen and Arklatex fertility.

After struggling to get pregnant for 10.5 years we landed here and it was the best decision we could’ve ever made. Dr. V knows his stuff and is patient centered in his care and plans (and being a nurse myself made me appreciate his approach even more.) Every appt and every blood draw I felt I was in good hands. Through a lot of prayer, Dr. V’s help and the kind staff we can announce we are expecting early May 2024!

He could’ve went right into IVF but he wanted to try all means first. he did a thorough HSG and found I had polyp and removed it, which stopped all my Irregular bleeding. then we started a few medicated cycles that didn’t work and then we went to IUI and it was successful. He saved me a ton of money. I’m so happy and thankful and I will recommend him for the rest of my life.Love Dr. Vandermolen and all of the staff at this office!

As for bedside manner.. couldn't be better. I have never felt uncomfortable or like I couldn't ask questions or state my concerns. I can't say enough about this clinic! I drive 2 hours from home to get there and I wouldn't go anywhere else, even if there was a clinic built next door to me. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for years. We are not there yet but we are hopeful and in good hands with Dr. V and his team!I can’t thank Dr Vandermolen and his office enough! We have 2 beautiful children and another on the way! After a couple of medical emergencies, I was unable to naturally conceive,…I can’t thank Dr Vandermolen and his office enough! We have 2 beautiful children and another on the way! After a couple of medical emergencies, I was unable to naturally conceive, so we automatically had to go to IVF if we wanted children. They were upfront about the procedures and the costs. The office billed our insurance for whatever they could so as not to charge us anymore. The only thing I didn’t like was the 1-2 hour wait times for appts occasionally. He was very professional at every visit and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. He is very candid so if you’re expecting emotional visits, he may not be the doctor for you, but as former military, I have no complaints.Met w/Dr. David T.

From the front desk receptionists, who always greeted me with smiling faces, remembered my name, celebrated victories with me and encouraged me through the losses to the nurses who always made me feel safe, and heard throughout my pregnancy journey, to Dr. V with his witty jokes, but so incredible care of my personal journey and walk through this process... all of it was simply seamless and above and beyond what my expectations could be! Thank you to my nurses, Dr. V., the lab, the front office, and everyone else in between for a fantastic time at Ark La Tex Fertility and for always accommodating my busy schedule to fit me in, make things work, and answer my 1 billion questions! I'd also like to add that I had a worry on a Friday afternoon, post-business hours and I received a personal call from Dr. Vandermolen about my worries and it eased my anxiety for what could have been a long weekend of worries. Thank you to this team, I can't say it enough. 5 stars all around! I can positively say that there is nothing negative about his office, his care or his results.Staff is extremely kind and takes care of your needs ❤️I would not recommend Dr. Vandermolen.

After some exams, visits and the necessary procedure in my case, I was able to get pregnant in October of the same year. I am very satisfied with all the support and attention of the whole team and Dr Vandermolen. I highly recommend this clinic. Keep in mind that due to the number of patients, some days you need to wait a little more than 30 minutes to be attended but I guarantee it is worth it.I received wonderful care every time I visited this clinic.

The staff were professional and efficient! I always felt like everyone cared so much, and they always made sure I was informed. After I became pregnant, I had spotting and they saw me immediately. Dr. Vandermolen made sure baby was safe and took necessary precautions. After I “graduated the program,” they reassured me that if I needed anything else to please contact them. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with the staff and Dr. Vandermolen.Dr. Vandermolen did not explain anything very well to me. i always left with unanswered questions.

He could have been more informative. He did not allow my husband to come to any of my visits other than the one IUI. i missed alot of work and i had horrible side effects on the medication. I mentioned the side effects and was told "it happens sometimes".He [Dr. Vandermolen] is very profissional and very confident in everything he does . He also make us feel this confidence.

He was willing to modify the plan based on our needs...seems very knowledgable and was willing to listen to us. He does go off on tangents often, telling stories and whatnot, which, when you’re very anxious about your treatment, is not a great thing as I just wanted to get to the point. But overall very good experience...be prepared to ask some specific questions about your circumstance.[Dr. Vandermolen] is compassionate towards your situation...He’s very smart and has an answer to everything.

He is meticulous about the way he reviews results, history, etc. to determine the best plan for each patient. He is upfront and does not over-promise. He explains things well and gives input but still allows you as the patient to make the best decision for you along with his input. He listens well and communicates well.He [Dr. David Vandermolen] is great! Definitely go to him...He is super caring and thorough! He always makes sure that you receive great care!

As a patient with PCOS I was hesitant at first because I felt like there was no hope for me. I mean I’m only 27 and I’m dealing with infertility...Very professional and organized and structured. There is no weaknesses that I can think of at this point. I was referred by someone else who used him To help her get pregnant.

It was the biggest thing I was worried about first, but it's now one of my favorite things about him...Since we only had 2 embryos with decent grading he was comfortable with transferring both since my risk factors are not significant...He spends much time with me discussing my options and allowing me to be a part of the treatment plan. He is extremely aware and sensitive to the fact that I do not want to have multiple embryos that we can't transfer.I felt he [Dr. David Vandermolen] was very genuine and addressed any and all of our concerns.

Even called to follow up with us on a medication change for my husband. He went over possible outcomes for a pregnancy for us this late in life. He also encouraged us to make the right decisions for us as far as future treatments. He didn’t pressure us for additional tests that’s were not necessary but we knew all the options.Dr. Vandermolen is honest, compassionate, and optimistic all in the same breath.

He knew that we had lost a previous pregnancy due to an ectopic pregnancy, so our first course of action was to take out my fibriods. In the process of waiting for surgery, I became pregnant a second time with a tubal pregnancy and lost my last tube. It was devastating, but he was there with us the entire way.Dr V [Dr. David Vendermolen] has always described every plan of action in great detail. He is confident and really knows what he is doing.

Everything that he has said to expect has happened. I feel very confident in his care and his treatment options. I have full trust in him.... My egg quality is slightly poor so we did 3 months of Clomid. The first month resulted in a chemical pregnancy.

At times he was optimistic and at times be wasn't...I liked Dr V in general but he was the only "game" in town at the time. I really wish I had a dr who was just as straightforward as he was with a better bedside manner and more faith. But I do appreciate him not trying to sell me an unrealistic dream.When I am with Dr. Vandermolen I do feel that he cares about me as a human, but it is always a very fast paced conversation and not often during my time at the office do I…When I am with Dr. Vandermolen I do feel that he cares about me as a human, but it is always a very fast paced conversation and not often during my time at the office do I actually speak to him vs nurses and front office staff... He talks very fast and very quietly when discussing serious issues. Sometimes its hard for me to even understand what he is saying due to the speed and tone! When he is not talking about something serious, he has a great sense of humor!When you finally see the doctor [Dr. David Vandermolen] in the beginning he made me feel like a human.

As our IVF process went on and he was doing so many I feel like we just got lost in the mountain of patients. We didn’t get great explanations for things from him...He also talked IVF like we had a great chance and was pretty much saying your going to get pregnant and never really talked much about the possibility of it failing. So when it failed it was a shock.Dr. Vandermolen always spends a significant amount of time with me. He does the ultrasounds/procedures himself and explains his findings very thoroughly.... Spends significant…Dr. Vandermolen always spends a significant amount of time with me. He does the ultrasounds/procedures himself and explains his findings very thoroughly.... Spends significant amount of time on each visit. Performs ultrasounds/procedures himself. Explains findings & plans thoroughly. He is educated about his profession. Bedside manner not overly loving/exciting but not bothersome for me.... Hasn't seemed interested in working with my naturopathic doctor's treatments that are to help achieve the same goals.He [Dr. David Vandermolen] seems very knowledgeable in his practice, but a lot of visits I feel like just another chart. ...

The visit we decided to do IUI as a next step, he came into the room and had not even looked at my chart to be sure of what treatments we had previously done. I had to correct him several times and tell him what we had done. Other times, he has shown decent bedside manner.Dr. Vandermolen can be very candid yet kind. He knows that if a patient is seeing him, they have usually already gone through some type of heartbreak and are fragile. He is caring…Dr. Vandermolen can be very candid yet kind. He knows that if a patient is seeing him, they have usually already gone through some type of heartbreak and are fragile. He is caring but he is also a realist. He will not sell you a false hope. He will tell you possible outcomes of the treatment that you are looking at and be ideal with you.... I saw Dr. Vandermolen for a myomectomy and an IUI. He was very straight forward with the myomectomy and was very clear on why we were removing them. The IUI, I saw his apprentice often and she was actually the one who inseminated me with his supervision. They were very clear about the amount of hormones I needed to take and why I had to take so much. The IUI was successful but it turned out to be another ectopic pregnancy.There were several times I’d be frustrated with the fact that he [Dr. David Vandermolen] seemed very unorganized...Sometimes his bedside manner isn’t the best...depending on the…There were several times I’d be frustrated with the fact that he [Dr. David Vandermolen] seemed very unorganized...Sometimes his bedside manner isn’t the best...depending on the number and quality of eggs he will determine to freeze them or do a fresh transfer...He does not like to transfer multiple embryos due to health risks. He said if I had trouble conceiving with single transfers we would move to placing two.The first time I went to Dr. Vandermolen he suspected I had endometriosis. He felt that my best treatment plan would be to have surgery to remove the endometrial tissue. We…The first time I went to Dr. Vandermolen he suspected I had endometriosis. He felt that my best treatment plan would be to have surgery to remove the endometrial tissue. We proceeded with surgery and although I did not have endometriosis I did have a lot of scar tissue from a previous surgery and he found that both of my Fallopian tubes were partially closed. He cleaned up the scar tissue and opened up my Fallopian tubes. The next month I started taking femara. The third round of femara resulted in a positive pregnancy test and I had a single live birth at the end of 2016.Dr. Vandermolen seems like a great physician. He did take good care of me, he performed my laparoscopy and diagnosed me with endometriosis. I am glad that he pushed me to have…Dr. Vandermolen seems like a great physician. He did take good care of me, he performed my laparoscopy and diagnosed me with endometriosis. I am glad that he pushed me to have that performed before starting IUI. He may not be quite as aggressive as I would prefer, however. But my case was a difficult on because I was a poor responder to the fertility drugs and had poor egg quality.I think Dr. Vandermolen is probably very smart but somewhat of a poor communicator. He also follows a standard protocol for first time patients and only adjusts after a failed…I think Dr. Vandermolen is probably very smart but somewhat of a poor communicator. He also follows a standard protocol for first time patients and only adjusts after a failed cycle...I felt like I was given the standard protocol. He only retrieves a few weeks out of the month and so he standardizes everyone to his schedule rather than doing what might be a different protocol for the patient.While under the care of Dr. Vandermolen, I honestly felt more of a friend/family type of relationship, with him as well as his staff.He [Dr. David Vandermolen] is smart has common sense. I didn't feel like he was taking advantage of our situation. He always mentored us on what our options were. He is just a…He [Dr. David Vandermolen] is smart has common sense. I didn't feel like he was taking advantage of our situation. He always mentored us on what our options were. He is just a wonderful doctor all around. He showed empathy in our time of loss but didn't dwell on it just helped us with the next steps. I am so grateful for the way he has handled our treatment. I will never go elsewhere.Dr. Vandermolen was kind, but a little bit difficult to understand sometimes. He talks very fast and uses lots of big words. When I would ask him what something meant, he would…Dr. Vandermolen was kind, but a little bit difficult to understand sometimes. He talks very fast and uses lots of big words. When I would ask him what something meant, he would explain it in almost too much detail. I appreciated that he took plenty of time with me; I never felt rushed in or out of his office. However, we would wait 2-3 hours for a consultation...Do your own research. Ask WHY he's recommending something. Ask if there are other options...The appointment right before my retreival, I was told by the doctor that, "next time, we will change up your medicine...".

That left me feeling like the whole process had already failed. I also wasn't allowed to do any monitoring at my local OBGYN...Who you would meet
