Technically it was with Dr. Fru, a reproductive endocrinologist from Atlanta that they bring up 4x/year for the procedures. We felt unheard and pressured to start ASAP, there was slow to no communication throughout the process (our coordinator at one point was ignoring my emails and only responding to my husband's), we had to ask multiple times for test results. The tipping point was after stimulation started, when everything is timed so delicately and things are supposed to happen at very specific times. The clinic didn't send my Day 5 ultrasound results in for review the same day, so Dr. Fru didn't adjust my meds until the next day, when I was told my body wasn't responding fast enough ironically. We increased the dosing, but still ended up with 0 viable embryos in the end. We did attempt to express our frustration, but it only led to being ignored more. We'll be doing our 2nd round out of state. Now that I've shared our story and talked to a few people who also did IVF through them, it seems like this is not a unique experience. The whole process is so incredible emotionally charged, do your research and make sure you find a provider who understands that and can be empathetic to how painful it can be.Fertility clinic

Asked all the questions that I wouldn’t have even thought of! I can’t recommend her enough! She made sure I was ok and my body was doing what it was supposed to and she recommended to call her if anything changed. Highly recommendI cannot say enough great things about Dr. Ostrom.

She is incredibly thorough and knowledgeable, and her bedside manner is unparalleled. Not only is she an exceptional doctor, but she is also a genuinely kind person. Her and her team assisted my husband and me in conceiving after many years of struggle, and she safely delivered our babies. The aftercare following their birth was outstanding. I have no words to describe Dr. Ostrom other than absolutely incredible. Her team is equally capable and friendly. I highly, highly recommend her!Dr. Ostrum is one of a kind.

I have worked with many health care professionals over the years, and she is by far the wisest, kindest, and most relatable provider I’ve encountered. I’ll always be grateful for her flexibility and expertise in delivering my baby. Even though I know she is very busy and has a complex job, I felt like I received such personalized care. Homer is so lucky to have her!!!I went to Dr. Ostrom after bleeding for 3 months straight. I had seen other OB/GYNs that told me my only option was hormonal birth control. Dr. Ostrom respected my decision to not…I went to Dr. Ostrom after bleeding for 3 months straight. I had seen other OB/GYNs that told me my only option was hormonal birth control. Dr. Ostrom respected my decision to not take BC and helped me with my PCOS with a single visit more than years of visits with other doctors. A genuinely fantastic and one of a kind doctor. I wrote this review about a year ago and Ostrom has continued to help me in ways I didn't know where possible. Since that initial visit for the first time in my life, I had regularly timed cycles. She performed two surgeries on me relating to extreme menstrual pain and for the first time EVER I started my cycle without even knowing because there was no severe pain. Historically, I have had to spend anywhere between half a day to 4 days curled up in a ball in bed and I am now able to spend my life doing the things I need and want to do during those days. I cannot thank her and her staff enough for how much they have improved my quality of life.Dr. Ostrom, Amber, and Crystal are absolutely wonderful. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to ensure my experience was not only comfortable but truly positive.…Dr. Ostrom, Amber, and Crystal are absolutely wonderful. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to ensure my experience was not only comfortable but truly positive. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made me feel completely at ease. It's clear they genuinely care about their patients, and I can't thank them enough for making my visit so pleasant.I first went to another GYN because Dr. Ostrom wasn’t accepting new patients at the time.

That provider told me my condition was “manageable” and “moderate.” My heart broke, because deep down, I knew something was really wrong. I was always tired and needed iron infusions regularly not to mention my thyroid stopped working as it should. Fast-forward about a year—I finally got in with Dr. Ostrom. From the moment I met her, I knew I could trust her. I’ve always had a strong aversion to surgery, and she truly heard me. She gave me several options and never pressured me—but when I ultimately chose to move forward with a hysterectomy, I’m so grateful I did. She was right. My pathology confirmed exactly what she suspected. I now know there was nothing I could’ve done to manage it naturally—this was something that needed to be addressed surgically. My surgery was incredibly smooth. I felt so held and taken care of through the entire process. From the moment I knew Dr. Ostrom was overseeing my care, I felt calm—because I could tell she truly cared. She checked in with me daily after surgery. She made sure my pain was well managed and answered every single question I had, without ever making me feel like a burden. I’m only four days out from surgery and doing great. And even more importantly—I finally feel heard. After years of being dismissed, minimized, and told it was “just hormones” or “normal,” I want Dr. Ostrom to know this: Thank you for believing me. Thank you for treating me like I mattered. You are an angel on earth, and I’m forever gratefulDr. Ostrom is an amazing doctor. She is compassionate, caring, and intelligent.

I love her style of talking to patients—sitting on a comfortable couch to talk instead of in a gown on an examining room table. Homer is very, very lucky to have an Ob-Gyn doctor like her. She is a gift to all women.Listen so well!! For the first time I didn’t have to repeat myself multiple times. Make me feel comfortable when talking about awkward things. Very understanding.

Didn’t make me panic with possible outcomes. Had more ideas and knowledge then any of the doctors I have seen so far. Confident but not cocky. She met me after hours to make the appointment happened. Even introduced her husband. Excited to further work together to solve the problemDr. Ostrom is so personable and really covers everything in depth. Her staff is very friendly.

She was the best doctor I’ve ever had and went above and beyond looking out for me and my pregnancy. She heard my concerns in every appointment and had such a positive approach to my care. My pregnancy was high risk and I had a lot (a lot a lot) of anxiety with it, but I felt like I could trust Dr Ostrom and her advice. I really loved the on demand mentality of care (texting was such a gift) that I received from this team, it helped me get through the hard moments. If you are looking for an OBGYN who will empower you and won’t ever shame you she’s the best. I think the least judgmental person I’ve ever met. I seriously wish she could be my doctor for everything. I’m holding the most precious baby thanks to the hard work and wisdom of this doctor and her team. You will love all of them!Dr. Ostroms office is comfortable and welcoming. The entire staff is great, and Dr. Ostrom especially goes out of her way to make sure each patient is well taken care of.
