Told me everything looked great had 2 perfect embryos and had them tested and still didn’t work? I think they hurried and took everybody that they could and didn’t really pay each patient that much time I will not deal with any one I had in the past I want a whole new team of nurses and doctor this is ridiculous I spent my life savings on this joke of a place for this not to work with no good explanation. But they want you to pay for all the difference test that doesn’t even guarantee you a baby why have patience do everything and nothing works. Just because your doctors or nurses that doesn’t mean you’re good ones. Lesson learned still won’t change anything or get my money or time back.Fertility clinic

I got there and they literally abandoned ship! they shut down without any notice to patients. when I got to the main baystate building it was Boston IVF, not Baystate. They were great and really apologetic for what happened but I had to start the process over as a new patient. luckily I haven’t started any treatment at baystate. i cannot believe they did not send out any noticeIn shock and worst communication.

I have been going here since Feb 2023 and had great experiences with majority of the nurses and team. After 3 IUIs didn’t work and I stated I wanted to go to IVF, they proceeded to tell me that there is a ONE YEAR waitlist to start IVF and a 3 month waitlist to even speak to the doctor. Not one nurse told me about the waitlist for IVF even though I clearly stated during the last ultrasound that if it doesn’t work I wanted to do IVF. Transferred infertility treatments to UMass Infertility.Absolutely awful. GO TO UCONN FERTILITY IF YOU NEED ANYTHING. Dr was extremely rude, told husband and I who’d been trying over a year “at least you haven’t had a crying baby” .…Absolutely awful. GO TO UCONN FERTILITY IF YOU NEED ANYTHING. Dr was extremely rude, told husband and I who’d been trying over a year “at least you haven’t had a crying baby” . Nurse then proceeded to talk about her kids the entire time. Beyond insensitive. Threw a bunch of tests with little explanation at us. Then Never called again. Was told in June no follow up scheduling due to wait to expect around September- noone ever followed up or called. We got tests done same thing noone ever called to review negative results at all we were left to review alone. Most disgusting experience I’ve ever had.In retrospect, my family's experience with the Fertility Clinic at Baystate in Springfield has been largely and consistently negative. I would not recommend pursuing IVF at this…In retrospect, my family's experience with the Fertility Clinic at Baystate in Springfield has been largely and consistently negative. I would not recommend pursuing IVF at this facility. We had been working with this practice for multiple years and in the last year they have lost 3 doctors, turn over for nurses seems high, and our interaction with the lab has also been problematic. We did not obtain a viable pregnancy from our efforts from 2 separate rounds of egg extractions, and there were problems with embryo testing, insurance paperwork filing, lack of timely communication, lack of confidence in our doctors and their availability to discuss outcomes, and disorganization in the clinic. I recognize that it's likely that those who end a relationship without a viable pregnancy may seem inclined or incentivized to post a negative review, but I would encourage anyone who is considering IVF or fertility needs to ask a lot of questions about this practice and do your homework. Again, I would not recommend this practice for your journey, and I sincerely wish the best for you.Called clinic as I was advised to do on cycle day 1multiple times within a span of 3 days without call back.

Still waiting and wondering if it’s worth taking a chance with this clinic.

The office manager called me to admit they forgot about my case and they dropped the ball(all while appologizing profusely and then did it again the following month).My doctor left to go to another practice and the office didn't follow up with me. They don't return phone calls or communicate effectively whatsoever. The stress and turmoil this has caused led me to move to another infertility clinic.My wife and I had a great experience here.

I am transgender and had previously undergone egg extraction prior to starting testosterone. When we were ready, my wife and I did reciprocal IVF and she carried our baby! I have nothing but good things to say about the doctors and staff here.My wife and I have been dealing with infertility for almost a decade.

After multiple offices, we ended up having our best cycles with Baystate Reproductive Biology Lab & IVF Unit. After taking a couple year break for our mental healths' my wife and I came back to try another round with Baystate. Coming back to this cycle, you can see an apparent decrease in the quality of care. The doctors are more frigid and the nurses seem like they couldn't care less. A disgusting and disheartening experience; nothing anyone who is facing infertility issues should have to deal with.Very troubling to be waiting 4 days for a callback. Many of us have resorted to comparing protocol notes in private facebook groups due to epic delays in returning calls. Also:…Very troubling to be waiting 4 days for a callback. Many of us have resorted to comparing protocol notes in private facebook groups due to epic delays in returning calls. Also: Protocol changed without notice, adding to confusion and stress leading up to this cycle. Calendar not received until the day I was told to start checking in. Paperwork with the calendar advises using supplements that are contraindicated for my health condition, with no warning or asterisks to speak to my doctor first. Very Stressful and NegligentBaystate is so far behind, they're causing people ready for their transfers to be late.

That means 1+ more month behind on a transfer, another month of medicine down the drain. 72 hours to return a phone call is not just a shame, it's a tragedy. Can't reach staff, can't talk to the doctor. They need to get to work.This is by far the worst medical experience I’ve experienced in my life.

Terrible communication, pushed off cycles due to them missing tests I needed, then they are short staffed so stopped donation programs. Does not feel like they care at all. The receptionists are the only ones that seem to be nice and have it together. If you can avoid it DO NOT trust this place with something so important.Dr.D helped me feel great about my decision to reverse my tubal ligation.

She has made me feel comfortable and confident in this whole process...Also always available to answer questions or concerns...I began Clomid in February 2022, two pills a day for 5 days. In March 2022, I tried Clomid again this time three pills a day for five daysShe [Dr. Cynthia Sites] was understanding and gave me a few moments to compose myself after I had been told IVF was the best option (I had gone in thinking IUI). My only complaint…She [Dr. Cynthia Sites] was understanding and gave me a few moments to compose myself after I had been told IVF was the best option (I had gone in thinking IUI). My only complaint is that I felt like she wasn’t the best communicator, specifically towards the end of appointments. It seemed like my husband and I were always left hanging a bit only being given a “call the nurses this day.” But we never really knew what was coming next. It felt a bit awkward because it seemed like that was her way of saying goodbye. Other than that, my experience with her was fine. I felt very lucky that she was the one to do my egg retrieval and embryo transfer, although it really seems to be up to chance there.Doctor Sites had clearly reviewed our file prior to meeting with us, and she did not ask redundant questions.

She had a clear plan moving forward based on that information, which she presented clearly. She thoroughly explained the process, took time to answer questions and did not rush us out the door...She was thorough in her explanation of why we would not need to pursue this (we had asked about PGS). This was the only time she was slightly curt with us.Dr Lynch is very smart and I have had a great experience so far.

She understands that I am trying to be very aggressive and I don't want to delay any new treatments or strategy, and she is helping me move forward from my most recent loss. I feel like I am in good hands with her and she will help solve my unexplained RPL.... She has called me and answered all my questions, as did the nurses. She is quick to follow up with me and is helping me choose the best path forward.She [Dr. Sites] explains everything clearly, answers any and all questions, and has a very kind and calm demeanor which is appreciated during what can be a stressful process. I’ve…She [Dr. Sites] explains everything clearly, answers any and all questions, and has a very kind and calm demeanor which is appreciated during what can be a stressful process. I’ve never felt rushed during any of my appointments with her, and she shows real concern for the comfort of myself and I’m sure other patients.... I am using clomid and a trigger to provide some control over timing as my cycles aren’t totally regular. And I am using IUI because based on age and tests there is no reason to suspect any fertility issues at this point. My first attempt was not successful, and I am in the midst of a second attempt, currently taking clomid.I think she [Dr. Sites] is a great doctor who really cares about her patients she answers all questions truthfully and honestly.

She was aggressive in treatment but not too aggressive. She listened to our concerns and provided answers to most of our questions (We're diagnosed as unexplained so there simply are not answers for everything).

While she is often behind schedule, we usually wait approximately an hour after our scheduled appointment, she takes the time with us each visit to be sure we are fully informed and that all of our questions and concerns are addressed....After our consult we had bloodwork, semen analysis, and HSG we moved directly to IVF with ICSI due to male factor.

This wasn't wildly successful, we got two eggs and one resulted in a good blast and a transfer, which didn't take. She decided to mix it up for round two and I did the patch protocol with the addition of HGH...we did decide to transfer two fresh embryos, which was recommended for someone my age.My experience with Dr. Lynch has been a great experience so far.

She has taken the time to listen to me and help me figure out what's best for me to start my family. Dr. L:ynch is straight to the point but not rude and never seems inconvenienced when I have questions. Although a busy doctor when sitting and talking with Dr. Lynch she makes you feel like your her number one priority...even if it's something you might now want to hear she always gives you lots of options and doesn't make you feel like your making the wrong decision.I rarely saw Dr sites.

Besides my first consult with her. ... I had to suggest/ask to use progesterone bc I felt my 11 day Luteal phase was too short. ... After that we met with Dr. Sites and she gave us the Diagnosis of LOR. she suggested a test to check my tubes (one of which turned out to be blocked). She then said our first course of action would be IUI (due to our insurance requirements). She explained everything well and we were satisfied. But that was i believe the only time we saw her. After that it was only nurses and US techs.We had planned to transfer 2 embryos, due to my age, but were down to only one healthy one, so it was transferred on day 5 [protocol with Dr. Kelly Lynch].
