They are friendly and make you fell calm and like everything is under control. The rest of the staff are also very professional.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Barsky and her team at CARS. We began our fertility journey in November 2025, and throughout every step of the process, Dr. Barsky has been incredibly supportive, compassionate, and reassuring. We started with one round of IUI before moving forward with IVF, and today, May 2026 we are pregnant with two healthy twins. IVF is an emotionally and physically demanding journey, which makes it so important to trust and feel confident in the team caring for you. Every single person at the clinic made us feel supported and cared for — from the kind women at the front desk, to the phlebotomists, the nurses who assisted during egg retrieval, the embryologist and every single doctor that was involved, and of course Dr. Barsky and her entire team. Beyond being an exceptionally qualified doctor, Dr. Barsky is also a genuinely wonderful person. She listens patiently to every concern and always takes the time to address questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. Although everyone we worked with was amazing, I especially want to thank Nurse Diana and Elizabeth. Diana made every blood draw unbelievably smooth, and Elizabeth was always so responsive, helpful, and reassuring whenever we had questions or needed guidance. I am beyond grateful for the care we received and so pleased with our experience. These women made such a meaningful impact on our lives, and I truly cannot wait to introduce our babies to them one day.Dr. Makhijani and her IVF nurse Casey were absolutely incredible to work with.

After struggling for years I knew immediately that working with these two would be different. They were so supportive and kind through the process. They listened to me and cared about my husband’s and my wishes and concerns. They did everything they could to make our dreams come true and sure enough after creating a new plan and few months I was finally pregnant. Our baby is 6 weeks old now and I have these women and CARS to thank for my beautiful baby girl. Thank you!If your OBGYN, urologist, primary care doctor, geneticist, or anyone else refers you to this place, run in the opposite direction. I struggle with where to begin, but here it is.…If your OBGYN, urologist, primary care doctor, geneticist, or anyone else refers you to this place, run in the opposite direction. I struggle with where to begin, but here it is. My wife and I were referred to Dr. Lawrence Engmann at CARS in August 2024. Our relationship began with a Zoom consultation where we discussed our situation in deeply personal detail. Shortly after, we received a massive packet stamped with the headline: WELCOME TO MY TEAM. As someone who works in pharmaceutical marketing, I found that wording deeply unsettling. People seeking fertility care are vulnerable, frightened, and desperate to build families, not recruits joining someone’s personal brand. “My team” felt more like ownership than care. Unfortunately, that tone set the stage for everything that followed. When we arrived for our initial ultrasounds, we were informed that Dr. Engmann was overseas in Ghana providing care. Admirable work, yes. But when you are navigating something as intimate and emotionally fragile as fertility treatment, it would be nice to know the physician who welcomed you to his team is not just unavailable, but out of the country and completely unreachable. Instead, we were shuffled between staff members, each prefacing conversations with: “I am not your doctor. I can only tell you what the scans show.” The bedside manner at CARS is virtually nonexistent. Cold. Detached. Mechanical. It was shocking. We proceeded with two of the three cycles their finance department pre-cleared us for. Each cycle was worse than the last. Every phone call brought more bad news. I understand that bad outcomes are part of fertility treatment. I did the research, asked questions, and accepted that reality. What is unacceptable is how that news is delivered. Compassion costs nothing. Empathy is not optional in this line of work. To summarize our experience: • Our assigned doctor was absent and hands-off • Communication was impersonal and dismissive • The clinic environment felt cold and transactional • The emotional needs of patients were ignored The only bright spot was a few kind nurses who cared for my wife on retrieval days. Their compassion stood in stark contrast to the rest of the operation. Otherwise, this place felt heartless. Profit-driven. Completely devoid of humanity. Fertility clinics serve people who feel they have nowhere else to turn, people clinging to hope of bringing a child into this world. If you cannot treat those people with dignity, compassion, and care, you have no business being in this field.We owe so much to CARS. Dr. Engmann is so lovely and such an expert and was so vital to a difficult pregnancy journey. He was with us each step of the way and we felt supported…We owe so much to CARS. Dr. Engmann is so lovely and such an expert and was so vital to a difficult pregnancy journey. He was with us each step of the way and we felt supported and valued. Because of CARS we have a beautiful baby girl.

The team was fantastic throughout the entire process - from consultation, to explaining the options, to monitoring, and conception. Proud to be a member of the CARSFamily !Are these 5 star reviews paid advertisement? My wife and I haven’t had a single good experience with this facility. Call backs?

Non existent, any sort of comfort? Non existent. Going to appointments at 730am on a Friday, taking a day off from work, just to not get a follow up until the afternoon via app, no phone call, just to tell you come back Monday. Unprofessional along with your staff. When you walk out of an appointment, never ever should you hear your staff talking bad about the next patient while laughing about their situation. Its an absolute embarrassment and disgrace to people who are having a difficult time in these situations.The care we received by Dr. Schmidt was fantastic.

He never rushed appointments and always made sure all of our questions were answered. His optimism is exactly what we needed. His nurse Sierra was amazing and always returned calls quickly and updated Dr. Schmidt with my concerns. Her attitude was always positive. Our baby is our greatest blessing and can’t thank the center enough.I loved this clinic because they did not push IVF like I have heard others do.

I was able to get in fairly quickly, get all my testing (and my husbands) done within a month, and within 6 months of working with this clinic I fell pregnant after our FIRST IUI! The nurses always gave a call back, and I never had to wait long when I had an appointment. I felt very well cared for, respected, & heard. It is not the journey I wanted, but I can now appreciate the gift of life so much more now. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Grow and my nurse Samantha for helping me achieve my first pregnancy.Information management here is frightening. Not sure our Dr ever takes notes, I have to explain why were here each visit. We get different information every time we ask about the…Information management here is frightening. Not sure our Dr ever takes notes, I have to explain why were here each visit. We get different information every time we ask about the amount of frozen sperm we have stored. They finally have a patient portal for communication but it is extremely buggy, I cannot initiate a conversation in writing so all communication is over the phone and subject to mishearing/forgetting. Forms to sign are sent at the very last minute, delaying treatment. Scheduling staff loudly discusses why I'm here, as I'm waiting in the lobby, clearly violating HIPAA protocols. Very disorganized, would recommend trying Yale. Go to Yale.I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible care and support I received from Dr. Grow during my IVF journey. From the very first consultation, Dr. Grow was warm,…I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible care and support I received from Dr. Grow during my IVF journey. From the very first consultation, Dr. Grow was warm, compassionate, and genuinely invested in my wellbeing. He took the time to explain every step of the process in detail, addressing all my questions and concerns with patience and clarity. The team at the clinic was equally impressive. They were always professional, friendly, and understanding, which made the overall experience much more manageable. Dr. Grow's expertise in reproductive medicine was evident, and I felt confident in his abilities. He tailored the treatment plan to fit my unique situation, ensuring the best possible chance for success. Throughout the process, Dr. Grow was always extremely supportive. I am thrilled to share that my IVF treatment was successful, and I am now pregnant! I owe this achievement to Dr. Grow and his team's dedication and knowledge. If you are considering IVF or struggling with fertility issues, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Grow. He is a remarkable physician who genuinely cares about his patients and their journeys towards parenthood. Thank you, Dr. Grow, for making my dreams come true!Our initial appointments with Dr Godiwalla went smoothly, but our experience has significantly deteriorated since then.

Over the past two weeks, my wife and I have left multiple messages for the FSR, IVF nurse, and Dr. Godiwalla’s nurse with absolutely no response or follow-up. As an out-of-pocket patient, I expected better communication and service, especially given the significant financial investment and the sensitive nature of fertility treatment. The complete lack of responsiveness is unprofessional and unacceptable. When I’m paying privately for medical services, basic communication should be a given. Unfortunately, this practice has failed to meet even the most basic expectations for patient care follow-up. I would not recommend based on their poor communication practices.Truly the light at the end of our tunnel.

After having a not so great first leg of our infertility journey elsewhere, the moment we walked into CARS we knew this is where our infertility journey would finally end and it did! Thank you to Dr. Maya Barsky, who is a TRUE infertility HERO who carefully curated our IVF journey from start to finish and Dr. Grow who did our successful embryo transfer! Of course, a HUGE thank you to the embryologists for carefully growing our embryos and IVF RN Renee for always answering ALL the questions! CARS is truly the best, I would never recommend elsewhere. Thank you CARS, for giving my husband and I the gift of life!I cannot say enough about Dr. Engmann and this clinic - if I could give them a million stars I would!

I’m from Canada, where I’ve seen at least 5 different doctors who weren’t taking me seriously and refused to send me to a specialist for my issue. I decided to see Dr. Engmann after reading some of his publications, and I’m so glad I did. Not only did he know exactly what to do right away, but he was also the first doctor to ask me how I was doing emotionally, which was very much appreciated. He also did an incredible job at walking me through my case, answering all my questions, and ensuring I understood what he was telling me. The entire team at CARS made me feel so comfortable and at ease - I knew I was in good hands. Being from out of state, the clinic was very understanding and worked with me both in terms of finances and in terms of scheduling my appointments. I’ve never had a better experience with a medical team. Everyone is so kind and knowledgeable! I highly recommend Dr. Engmann and the Center for Advanced Reproductive Services!!Dr. Grow & Dr. Koniares are incredible and listened to me when I advocated for myself.

I have my daughter after a successful first IVF cycle because of them. The resident doctor, Dr. Chung, cost me extra money by telling me to get bloodwork done when it wasn’t necessary and nearly canceled my cycle that resulted in my daughter. Always advocate for yourself.Overall had a pretty good experience with CARS over the year and a half of treatments I had, a few things that made our experience frustrating.

Even though we wanted to go through farmington, we were assigned a dr in the Hartford office, this was frustrating as some appts needed to be there. At the beginning of our journey, some appts had very specific time slots at the hartford office which would have been impossible for almost anyone to comply with, (they would not allow any other times even booked far out) after calling farmington they agreed this was ridiculous and had any time available for said appts. I only had a bad experience with 1 nurse, all others were wonderful and all the phlebotomy techs were great too!Awesome! Very efficient and through my dr Dr. Grow was very pleasant and caring also the nurses and were wonderful. I would 10/10 recommend as they do get results I’m happy I went…Awesome! Very efficient and through my dr Dr. Grow was very pleasant and caring also the nurses and were wonderful. I would 10/10 recommend as they do get results I’m happy I went through their practice for this very sensitive area of my life.I thank god every day that a friend referred us to Dr. Schmidt for a second opinion after being falsely diagnosed and strung through the mug by another doctor. From the moment we…I thank god every day that a friend referred us to Dr. Schmidt for a second opinion after being falsely diagnosed and strung through the mug by another doctor. From the moment we first met him I knew we were in great hands! After quite a struggle I feel so lucky to finally say that I am 21 weeks pregnant and I owe all of that to Dr. Schmidt and the entire CARS team who took great care of us!!!I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Benadiva and his team.

From the initial referral to diagnostic testing, and IUI cycles, I was cared for on every level. They had great support with insurance, understanding of procedures, flexibility with appointments, and never rushing through an appointment or procedure. Their receptionists and nurses were so patient, kind, knowledge, and always always helpful. Not one part of my journey with them was negative. They were encouraging when I got unfortunate news and celebratory when things started working out. Starting a family is so stressful, do yourself a favor and pick a team of people who truly care. Pick The Center For Advanced Reproductive Services.UPDATE: Thank you! 🥰 Our perfect little baby was born and we can not be more happy. She is a dream come true.

Thank you for helping us to become parents. We will be back for more! I am so grateful we found CARS. I feel like we got a dream team working with us.

For a little over a year, I was a patient at the facility.…It is with my greatest gratitude and appreciation that I write about my experience at the Farmington, CT Branch of CARS. For a little over a year, I was a patient at the facility. Through many months of infertility struggles, my OBGYN and endocrinologist suggested CARS would be the best place for me and my husband to start our journey towards becoming a family. I was admitted and became a patient of Doctor Grow and his nurse, Krista Traub. Starting last March 2021 – they welcomed me with open arms and talked about the steps of what can be done at The Center, the staff who I’d soon get acquainted with, the types of blood work I’d need to have done and then the various procedures or options that were available. First on my list was an HSG. Dr. Grow and his team thoroughly talked me through the process and answered any questions I may have had. Although the results weren’t as planned, the team reassured me that this is a small bump in the road and that we still had options. Over my months at The Center, the staff there has become a second family to me. They’ve treated me with the utmost respect and kindness during such a challenging time. My husband and I are also battling a few additional medical challenges, so the knowledge the staff has provided to us about our options was thorough and well thought out. Along with Dr. Grow who I’ve spent many a phone call with - the one nurse who stood out the most to me was Krista. Krista also went out of her way to ensure I felt cared for and heard during my time at CARS. She would answer emails, or reply back to phone calls with efficiency. She performed my first IUI, answered and reviewed all of my blood work and when a number would come back out of range, she would speak with Doctor Grow or Lauren Bode to provide the best care possible. Krista would check in on me also knowing that my husband and I had other medical challenges and would reassure me with a phone call and email over the course of my time at the center. Because of the very private and intimate details of IUI and almost IVF – Krista was a comfort to have as a nurse. She felt like family and a friend and when there were times the IUIs didn’t work, and I didn’t want or couldn’t emotionally tell my family and friends – she was there for me the whole way. Providing me with options for a counselor, or acupuncture or even a light laugh. Her bedside manner was incredible and The Center should be very fortunate to have her. This review is simply to highlight parts of our experience that truly stood out to us and to have your team know how truly lucky you are to have them at your group and I would definitely recommend CARS.I can't say enough great things about CARS.

When my OBGYN told me we needed fertility services I was absolutely terrified. It had never crossed my mind we'd have difficulty getting pregnant. Our doctor is Dr. Grow and from the very beginning he always was straight forward and had a very calming personality. We determined we needed IVF due to male factor and throughout the terrifying process, Dr. Grow was always there. Once we were ready for our transfer, my nurse Melissa showed she had the patient of a saint when I'd continue to call her about all manner of questions or concerns. She never made me feel like I was bothering her or crazy and she always was able to put my mind at ease. Today we just graduated from our clinic with the beginnings of a healthy pregnancy and I would recommend CARS to any person who needed infertility help. They are absolutely amazing, fast to respond, make the entire process smooth and calming and always care about their patients.I don't know where to really start as my wife and I have very mixed emotions regarding our journey and the eventual outcome.

It was like night and day. From staff to clinicians, from the frequent blood draws and ultrasounds to the outpatient operations, it was truly a delight working with them.

It really does help a patient feel confident in their personal treatment plan when you have a specific team of people that are assigned to you and your needs. The staff at the Center was good at answering every single question my husband and I had and were incredible about easing any of the worries that we had. After they figured out the part of our issue with conceiving, they came up with a game plan to make our dreams come true. They were incredibly helpful and we cant thank them enough for taking us as patients and helping us make our dreams a reality!The journey of infertility is not always an easy one, but the doctors and nurses at CARS do an excellent job of guiding, supporting and encouraging you every step of the way.

They treat you like you are the only patient there. The kindness and attentiveness can’t be beat. Special thanks to nurse Peggy Demers and nurse Laura Austin. It brings tears to my eyes to think about how much I love them! I couldn’t possibly get through any of this without their support. Peggy is a God sent, always reassuring and positive and right on top of everything when you need something, even just a few kind words telling you it’ll all work out. Laura greets you with a big smile in the procedure room and treats you like you’re her best friend, her first priority is make you happy and comfortable. Dr. Schmidt always has a plan and is ready to do whatever it takes, always prepared with a next step never giving up on you. I tell EVERYONE about The Center.

I spent five months going through three rounds of IUI and I can't speak any higher of the center and it's staff. At every step I felt acknowledged, cared for, and respected.
