Absolutely unacceptable experience thus far. We have been trying to schedule a new patient appointment since 2/17. After submitting all required paperwork, which took three weeks…Absolutely unacceptable experience thus far. We have been trying to schedule a new patient appointment since 2/17. After submitting all required paperwork, which took three weeks just for them to process, we are now six weeks out with no appointment scheduled, no communication, and not even a courtesy phone call. For a practice that works with individuals and couples trying to conceive, this level of delay and lack of responsiveness is beyond frustrating—it’s harmful. You are dealing with people in an incredibly time-sensitive and emotionally vulnerable stage of life, and the complete lack of urgency or empathy is deeply disappointing. This process feels dismissive and neglectful. Patients deserve clear communication, reasonable timelines, and basic respect. Do better. Update to your response: wow! The first time your business has contacted us and of course in that amount of time, it is 100% AI. How am I supposed to call your clinic to discuss if you don’t answer your phone or return calls?!We absolutely love working with Dr. Austin, Camille and their amazing staff! The fertility journey is not the easiest journey sometimes but the support they provide is exactly…We absolutely love working with Dr. Austin, Camille and their amazing staff! The fertility journey is not the easiest journey sometimes but the support they provide is exactly what we needed to keep going. We are able to have the family of our dreams because of this team. I highly recommend Dr. Austin and his team for all your fertility needs.We are going to add our voices to the resounding praise echoing off Google's walls here, at the risk of repetition. …Dr. Austin and his team are the reason my husband is on his way to better health and might have an opportunity at having his first child. If you read my other reviews, especially…Dr. Austin and his team are the reason my husband is on his way to better health and might have an opportunity at having his first child. If you read my other reviews, especially as it is to do with local primary care options - please heed my warnings! If left to local primary care options - of which my husband and I have struggled with two… I mean it with all my heart that this specialist is worth his salt and deserves all the praises. Dr. Austin’s team and their instructions for my husband have never been lacking to the extent neither of us have ever been denied a test (minus struggling to stay still in the MRI machine)… and it’s obvious Dr. Austin and his entire team cares about his patients. Especially those men who come to him that are extraordinarily unwell. For us, seeing Dr. Austin wasn’t just a chance at having a baby my husband hasn’t been gifted. But at keeping my husband alive, with quality of life; and continues to be, as we struggle to acquire appropriate primary care - Dr. Austin empowers his patients to recognize we deserve to be treated and cared for and I continue to be so grateful for his current care of my husband - All offices could learn a lot from Dr. Austin and his team - thank you for caring about us, and going the extra mile STILL, even when our insurance made things tricky… you all saw sickness and jumped to action. He and I are so so grateful. And this is aside from not having conceived yet - and maybe not ever as we are getting older - but giving him the opportunity to try, now, while there IS still time… and ALSO not be sick (the effects of low testosterone atrophy the male physique, corrupt the sperm, and cause decreased life expectancy). Just the idea of having the chance to try not being robbed from him in the name of wellness… the intricacies are so nuanced and Dr. Austin slays it - giving my husband a chance at a legacy but most importantly, a quality of life. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.First off if I could give Zero Stars I would. We have been treated so poorly by this clinic a few years ago, and people are right Kris is wonderful but Tasha needs to go she is so…First off if I could give Zero Stars I would. We have been treated so poorly by this clinic a few years ago, and people are right Kris is wonderful but Tasha needs to go she is so rude and pushy. There is another nurse in the clinic that is pushy as well. I won't go too much into our experience as we are considering filing a lawsuit against them. We are a Married Interracial Lesbian Couple and I feel they let their personal bias get in the way and we saw a good rating at the time and went here big mistake. I don't recommend this place for anyone stay away so they get closed down they should not be working with anyone when starting a family is supposed to be a happy and stress free time. I am also a Disabled Military Veteran had I known they would of helped us I would of never had us going to this clinic so this is how we are be treated now the reviews I read were appalling and the hap hazard response from the owner was ridiculous on one of the one star ratings. I remember everything about our experience there and the many harassing letters for payment you have sent it's illegal to harass someone to collect a debt just thought y'all should know that and I am now a paralegal so I know a lot about personal injury claims, scams, and fraud, and your desire to break HIPPA Laws as well, the next communication will be from our Attorney. Good Day.My provider is great. However, the front desk, telephone systems, and portal leave quite a bit to be desired, which impacts my care and communication with my provider. The front…My provider is great. However, the front desk, telephone systems, and portal leave quite a bit to be desired, which impacts my care and communication with my provider. The front desk never answers the phone, the telephone automated system loops and then disconnects the call, and even though the automated system mentions "for faster results, communicate with your provider through the portal," I still do not get timely feedback ( a week to respond). All of this hasn't just happened once but repetitively since I've been a patient. EDIT, based on clinic feedback to this review. Even since you've responded, I've continued to receive the same terrible service. Responding to a review with a positive statement of intent, isn't enough. You don't have the follow through to actually fix the problem. Ugh! For patients or potential patients reading these reviews, note that there is a very similar theme amongst the lowest of reviews. This happens with more than just one patient. They aren't addressing the issues.Have been going for almost a year now. Communication is lacking, you have to call about twice on average to get a call back on anything other than day 1 cycle info. We had to dig…Have been going for almost a year now. Communication is lacking, you have to call about twice on average to get a call back on anything other than day 1 cycle info. We had to dig for more info, nothing was just offered up about options, what things mean, what the next steps might be etc. . We have to call multiple times to receive info about tests etc. They never call us with those results. The people in the office are nice. And the nurse practitioners are usually great. It's just quite frustrating that this is the only game in town and we have zero results, no answers and don't even know what options we have.I was never a patient because the wait was so long. I emailed forms to be a patient min-January and the emailed me asking to be a patient 3rd week of April (3.5 months!) just for…I was never a patient because the wait was so long. I emailed forms to be a patient min-January and the emailed me asking to be a patient 3rd week of April (3.5 months!) just for them to call and schedule an appointment. They also had poor communication about what was missing in the forms (only that they were incomplete). WHY ARE THEY STILL DOING PAPER - THIS IS SO SLOW/INCONVENIENT! I went with Spring Fertility in Portland and they are AMAZING and I got an appointment in 3 weeks & had IUI the next cycle! However, if you do not have insurance coverage (or poor coverage) save yourself TIME and $$$ by using CNY (it is all over the forums).Dr. Austin and his staff are amazing.

I’ve never felt more cared for by any other office. Definitely a place that makes you feel understood. Everyone in the office from the business side, receptionist, & nurses all show empathy to your situation. After 7 years of infertility thanks to them and IVF I have my sweet baby boy. I would recommend them to anyone dealing with infertility.Dr. Austin and his team are amazing! He is so personable and knowledgeable. His team is so wonderful and make you feel so comfortable!

From the front desk, to support staff, and all the way to the providers, has been a great experience. Everyone is kind and caring. The providers really takes the time to get to know you.

I saw Michelle, who seemed extremely knowledgeable, even about things I usually have to educate other doctors on. I was a little nervous going too a new place, but the clean, pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel welcome and comfortable. I look forward to my next appointment.My husband and I spent 12 long years trying to start our family, but never had success.

When we made our appointment with Dr. Austin, we didn't have a lot of hope left. Our first appointment couldn't have gone any better! Dr. Austin listened to us, treated our personal situation, and gave us so much hope and excitement. With each phone call and every visit, everyone has always been nice. Front desk, lab, CMAs, and of course Dr. Austin, Sue, and Michelle, made our experience nothing short of amazing. Because of them, I have my little miracle twins. If my husband wasn't diagnosed with terminal cancer, we would already be back for another cycle of IVF.The entire staff (from Kris that answers the phone, to the fertility nurses, to the phlebotomists in the lab) take the time to get to know you personally and they truly care about…The entire staff (from Kris that answers the phone, to the fertility nurses, to the phlebotomists in the lab) take the time to get to know you personally and they truly care about your family. Dr. Austin looks at your individual situation and tailors your protocols just for you with your input, and Matt, the Embryologist is incredibly talented. They welcome questions and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. We cannot thank you enough for helping bring our daughter into the world!I could not possibly say enough good positive things about this clinic and their staff.

Each and every person has a wonderful personality and beautiful soul. I have never had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing staff members in one place. Doctor Austin, nurses Deana and Sharon (I wish I could name all the nurses), all the lab technicians, to the receptionists like Kris are all incredibly thoughtful and easy to talk to. They make people feel welcomed, comfortable and appreciated. Its easy to see that all the staff here is 100% passionate about what they do. They genuinely care about people. Egg donation has been such a positive experience here. I would never go anywhere else for it! I absolutely love this facility.

Everyone is very professional, compassionate and understanding. It's clear they enjoy their work because it shines through with the service they provide. Dr. Austin is a great person. He is a great listener and actually hears what you're saying. He spends a lot of time with each patient. As much time as it takes. I have never felt rushed or like I was just another patient. His compassion, understanding and knowledge is why we have our two beautiful children. Even when we have been late with our payments, his billing people have been very nice and understanding. The emotional rollercoaster of fertility problems is bad enough. The stress is unbelievable. Having a doctor and his staff who know and understand the stress you're under, and don't make it worse, is paramount.Dr Austin and his team are wonderful!

During my second retrieval I increased my FSH and HMG and did a micro-lupron protocol instead of the Ganirelex. This time I had 20 large follicles prior to trigger (HCG again) and they were able to retrieve 20 eggs! Of those, 16 were mature and 14 fertilized. We end up with 6 blasts this time and the PGT-a results on them were 4 "normal", and 2 abnormal.

He has even given us medical information on non-fertility related issues that was spot-on, as well. I appreciate that he is readily available and active in the practice. I wanted to try something different with our last FET, as it was our last 2 embryos. We ended up doing 2 things different with the protocol but I feel like there are probably a lot more options out there that could help, but it seemed like those were the only things that could be added to the cycle. I'm not sure that the size of the clinic allows for a lot of creativity when it comes to personalizing treatment.Dr Austin has great communication.

He is fun and down to earth. He doesn't just see his patients as people coming/going, he treats them as friends in that he likes to get to them as individuals/people. He takes the time to ask questions about how you are doing and what is new in your every day life. His ability to interact on a personal level and remember details is comforting. My husband and I have complete faith in him, as his actions have proven and continue to prove he is willing to go above and beyond in an effort to make it possible to see us grow our family.Dr. Austin and his staff are all friendly and very professional.

He explained things thoroughly. I did not feel like a number to him... Until the very end when all my embryos were gone... And I felt he gave up on me.... He was very honest. Did not sugarcoat things. I very much appreciate that! But on the other hand, he did not seem willing to try new things that I would bring to the table for him to explore. When he would quote me statisticsWe went to him [Dr. Austin] for a diagnosis of recurrent pregnancy loss.

He provided a thorough workup and gave me a copy of the note when he explained our options in detail so I could re-read it once we got home. Procedures were gentle and explained as they were performed. He performed much of the care himself - not ultrasound techs or other staff. He never made us feel rushed in asking a ton of questions and explaining his answers coherently.While I don't think that my specific fertility issue was identified by Dr. Austin, I feel as though he did do everything in his practice to help me.He [Dr. Douglas Austin] has great bedside manner and is super kind.

I don't feel like he would listen to my ideas and had to really push for labs that I wanted. I think he would be great for someone with basic infertility issues, but not unexplained. He wouldn't think outside the box and look at other avenues. When transfers didn't work he just said it was bad luck.... it took forever for them to get back to me when I had questions regarding my expected miscarriage, and they told me to just follow up with my OB regarding it. It felt like they didn't care and they never even called back to check up on me to see how I was doing after I spent well over $25,000.Dr. Austin is very kind, listens to my concerns.

An AMH test would have shown my diminished reserve. After we did the failed IUIs, no follow up was done with us as to suggesting IVF or anything further...I feel that crucial time was wasted going through multiple IUIs without any suggestion of what should be done next...Who you would meet
