After being seen at two “top” clinics, I felt like I was being pushed in circles toward a single path — surrogacy — with doctors strongly advocating for their preferred protocols, while I struggled to feel truly heard as a patient. While I was not closed off to that option, I knew for my own peace of mind I needed to try a transfer and understand what my body was capable of. From my first consult, Dr. Arnold was different. He spent nearly two hours with me, explaining my anatomy and history in a way that multiple reproductive endocrinologists and surgeons before him had never articulated so clearly. He was honest about the challenges ahead — he did not sugarcoat how difficult the road to transfer would be — but he also made it clear that he was willing to pursue that path with me. What truly sets Dr. Arnold apart is the rare combination of expertise and ownership of care. When I asked about a surgeon for the procedure he recommended, he told me he would want to perform it himself. After seeing multiple specialists, I had never encountered a physician who could seamlessly integrate both the reproductive endocrinology and surgical aspects of care. That level of continuity and accountability is incredibly rare. Throughout my treatment, he also collaborated with my acupuncturist and remained open-minded and thoughtful in his approach. There were highs and lows along the way, and at every step, I felt supported. One moment that will stay with me: during an especially difficult stretch, after receiving less-than-ideal results, I came in for what should have been a routine blood draw. Medically, I simply needed a nurse visit. But Dr. Arnold came out to greet me himself, sat with me for 15 minutes, and supported me through what I described as pre-grieving. That level of compassion is something I’ve never experienced in medicine. No matter how our journey unfolds, I have so much confidence knowing that I’m giving my family the best possible chance with a doctor who is not only exceptionally skilled, but deeply human. I recommend Dr. Arnold emphatically.
