Dr. K’s expertise and compassionate approach made me feel confident and supported throughout my journey. P.A. Alexa was incredibly attentive, always taking the time to answer my questions and provide reassurance. The staff were warm, professional, and truly dedicated to making every visit comfortable and positive.

From our very first appointment to our last the entire staff made us feel so welcome, full of hope and that we mattered to them like a family member. Each member of the staff made such a difference in our process to having our baby, they were always so attentive to any questions I had and called me back right away. We are so sad to be moving on to our OB office, we will miss everyone here and can’t wait to see them again when the time comes for baby 2.I went here for years.

Spent thousands and I never got pregnant. There is only one good nurse there. Her name is Becky. She is amazing. She was always so supportive and caring and I could tell she was always rooting for me, even when the doctor gave up on me. And don’t get me started on the billing and the absurd nurse fees. On top of all the other stuff you may pay for or what insurance may not, they add on ridiculous fees. One time a nurse called me with results and I had questions about them, so I called and I never got a response. The billing department is extremely rude as well. I’m making payments monthly sometimes multiple times a month to pay back everything and they still are not happy. Clearly they work in billing because they have no empathy. All this place did was give me false hope and thousands in debt. I don’t recommend I can’t stress enough how much this place has hurt me. Financially, mentally and emotionally and I am so upset the amount of money I wasted here. The amount of times the so called amazing Dr. K cancelled so many of my cycles, which caused me to waste so much money on meds and appointments is insane. She messed up so bad on one of my egg retrievals, she said it herself, she was glad I didn’t have to go to the hospital. On one ultrasound after IVF had failed and I was going to try an iui with other meds, they found polyps and I needed them removed. No big deal. I was willing to do the surgery. But what made me mad is they needed a negative pregnancy test prior to scheduling anything. And it was right before the holidays so no one was available. And it was upsetting because I had to pay 50$ to obviously prove I wasn’t pregnant and the day of the surgery guess what they did a pregnancy test. That nurse owes me 50$ and I’ll never let that down. Please I beg you. Don’t go here. I have so many more terrible stories about my time here. I could go on and on. And still debt and no family.Dr. Kowalczyk was rude and she suggested unhealthy habits as ways people have successfully conceived and shared them in a positive light and things we could do to increase…Dr. Kowalczyk was rude and she suggested unhealthy habits as ways people have successfully conceived and shared them in a positive light and things we could do to increase chances. ToxicThe practitioners and staff were all so very welcoming and helpful throughout our journey. We now have a beautiful healthy baby girl and our family is complete!This place is an absolute disappointment.

The front desk staff was always very pleasant but that’s probably where the positive feedback ends. Good luck everyone meeting the actual Dr who is supposed to be so amazing. I did multiple rounds of IUI and never once met or even spoke with an actual Dr. it was all nurses. They treated me as “just a typical patient” instead of actually listening to me when I told them how my cycle works. They would schedule days for me to come in for my IUI and I would ask them if that seems right because according to my calendar, my window is closed by then. The IUI procedure every time was extremely painful. It hurt so bad and did not seem right to me that it was so painful. The last IUI there it took a very long time to get it done. It seemed like the nurses first day. After failed attempts, they finally said “yes you know what? You’re right let’s change your day” which seemed very alarming to me and left me with a feeling of “do you even know what the heck you’re doing?” Nothing was changed from round to round. I brought up possibly having endometriosis and it was brushed off. At that point I was done and reached out to another office. They got me in right away and I met with the Dr on my first visit for my consultation. We did one round of IUI that failed. However, it was absolutely painless. I had to ask the Dr if she even did it already because I couldn’t tell.. She immediately brought up being biopsied for endometriosis at that point. My results came back positive. I had my endo surgery in April and 2 months later I am now pregnant by natural conception. Don’t waste your money or your time here. They literally don’t care and just take your money and send you on your way.Have had several good experiences here.

With all fertility stuff, as a patient it is always confusing and need to ask a lot of questions, the staff is informative and always takes and returns my calls. They do this everyday and i do not so they spend time explaining it. Dr B has been my primary dr, she is a great surgeon, kind and patient. Dr K is wonderful also. Barb and Becky are the best!Let me start out with saying that the office/ nursing staff was very nice and I was always pleased with them. My negative review comes from my experience with the doctor. I first…Let me start out with saying that the office/ nursing staff was very nice and I was always pleased with them. My negative review comes from my experience with the doctor. I first was seen in fall of 2023. Was told my lab work was normal aside from and slightly high fasting glucose. The doctor said I was having fertility issues due to my weight and to cut out sugar/ exercise. I was upset but I made the changes and worked hard for months. Fast forward to April 2024. I made numerous changes, essentially eliminated sugar/processed foods, post 1 failed IUI and 1 failed timed intercourse I was frustrated. I feel there is little to show for my hard work. I speak with the doctor again (first time hearing from her since October, only because I requested the appointment) and asked about metformin, she dismisses me again. I feel in my gut this isn’t right. I decide to get a second opinion. After redoing all my tests at the new fertility clinic (all results essentially the same as a year ago) I am immediately put on synthroid and metformin. After 2 months on those medications I fell pregnant and am now 13 weeks pregnant! I am all for natural changes and feel there is a place for them… I just do not understand how my care was managed so differently and how quickly I had success at the new clinic. Never be afraid to find what works for you and advocate for yourself! I felt like I paid $1000s of dollars to be told to lose weight when that wasn’t the core issue.Two and a half years ago, I was diagnosed with infertility. As a woman, it’s hard to comprehend because you feel as if something is wrong with you. I sat in the parking lot for 10…Two and a half years ago, I was diagnosed with infertility. As a woman, it’s hard to comprehend because you feel as if something is wrong with you. I sat in the parking lot for 10 minutes, nervous to walk in and thinking I would be judged for having issues becoming pregnant on my own. I was worried I would be seen as just a number, rather than a human being. From the moment I walked into the clinic, I was welcomed with open arms, and was treated like I was a part of the family. Between the blood work, ultra sounds, surgeries, procedures, these women held my hand and hugged me through the times I wanted to give up. They went as far as to call me when they found out my one embryo had survived during PGTA testing and we’re all cheering on the phone for me. If you are looking for women who will support you through your process, then this is the clinic to go through. I can’t thank all these women and Dr. K enough for the amount of care and compassion they have given me throughout my journey.I must start by saying the front desk staff and Becky whom did nearly all of my blood draws are absolutely fantastic, however that’s unfortunately the only positive thing I can…I must start by saying the front desk staff and Becky whom did nearly all of my blood draws are absolutely fantastic, however that’s unfortunately the only positive thing I can say about this clinic! Best of luck ever seeing the “famously renowned” Dr. K and good luck seeing her “assistant” Nicole unless you specifically ask for an appointment after many failed attempts and zero amendments to your plan or medications. All ultrasounds are harsh to say the least and not very positive. All IUI are not done with guided ultrasound and by a nurse, which our first was great and the following attempts seemed to be their first day on the job! If you’re slightly over weight or obese they won’t treat you they rather want you to loose weight, as that’s seen as the only and biggest problem. I was diagnosed with PCOS by my OBGYN and primary care doctor, only to be completely ignored and again weight was the issue at hand. Be warned that if you’re only going through IUI or starting there at least, be aware you’re going to feel like you’ve fallen to the bottom of pile, because IVF patients clearly come first at this clinic; huge red flag, but no surprise that the “big money makers” are treated better and come first, as many times we were told that our appointment time was behind, because “it’s IVF time” and “there are a lot of IVF patients ahead of you and we’re slightly backed up”. Sorry that spending several thousand makes my infertility less significant…Sorry that’s just chump change after all, right?! You’ll have to contact them when they promise to call by a certain time with your results and they don’t. You’ll have to schedule your own specialty pharmacy orders for time sensitive medications, because they can’t be bothered? You’ll pay everything upfront with or without insurance, as if they don’t trust you to pay after an appointment or procedure?! You’ll have to find your own urologist, as the guy they recommend is always booked or not available at certain clinics….the list goes on and on. DO NOT COME HERE! The only positive reviews are lies or maybe their priority IVF patients, wouldn’t know because I refuse to pay them any more money for false hope! False hope is all you’re left with and we took a break (mentally and financially draining) and one would think they may reach out to see if all is ok…NO, we were not IVF patients, so clearly didn’t register to them. This clinic is money hungry and of the opinion that if their lackluster/basic/same treatment plan for all works, then great and if not, oh well there’s always another sucker to try and/or another IVF patient willing to drop bigger money! NO THANK YOU! We have found a FABULOUS new clinic and will tell everyone we know dealing with fertility issues to steer clear of Michigan Center for Fertility and Women’s Health!!!There are a few great people that work here, but the miserable ones and their horrible policies for off site monitoring clients and all the hoops they make us jump through and pay…There are a few great people that work here, but the miserable ones and their horrible policies for off site monitoring clients and all the hoops they make us jump through and pay $700 out of pocket for a profit while still billing our insurance. I’m upset with myself that I’ve dealt with it for this long but I am thankful to found a clinic that does not make us “use their specific forms” “ pay an (outrageous) off site monitoring fee” “get a global referral” “meet and greet with a NP” before they will even schedule your appointment and if you show any smidge of annoyance they hang up the phone on you! Out of any medical clinic that should be compassionate and sympathetic I want it to be my fertility clinic. MIWFWH is not it, and I’m so relieved to have found a new monitoring site that seems like they actually care and want to help their patients.Very happy with our experience so far at this facility.

It has been night and day from our previous doctors office we tried. We’re still working toward a baby, but the nurses, doctors, office staff, information sharing, communication, everything, has been 10000% better! Nurse Becky has been amazing.

I did 5 IUI at this clinic and they all failed. I kept questioning timing and didn't seem like things were right. After the 5th, they wanted to do another IUI then switch to IVF. We decided to try another clinic for a second opinion and I got pregnant on the first IUI. SO glad we did, could not spend one more penny here!Had my first appointment here and the staff was amazing this was a Positive experience since the last clinic I went to was a horrible experience !

My husband and I started working with them…In honor of infertility awareness week, I wanted to share my experience working with Michigan Center for Fertility and Women's Health. My husband and I started working with them by recommendation of my doctor in February 2023. After my husband and I completed all of the testing, everything came back good or within the range they should be, and didn't show a reason we wouldn't be able to conceive naturally. However, since we had been unsuccessful on our own for a year, we decided to move forward with IUI's as recommended to increase our chances. Unfortunately, after 3 tries - we were still unsuccessful. We were nervous to go the IVF route, but are so glad we did because I'm now 21 weeks pregnant! It was a difficult experience (both emotionally and physically) but everyone at the Warren office was so positive and supportive. I want to give a shout out to our Nurse Becky, who answered every question I had with patience (there were a lot!) and made sure my husband and I had everything we needed and were prepared. Dr.K was also fantastic, and on our last ultrasound visit before "graduating" to our OB came to talk to us before we left and looked at our ultrasound photos (she was very sweet). Also, it was very convenient for me that they have multiple offices across metro Detroit. I work on the other side of town and was able to do early morning ultrasounds/blood work at the Plymouth location as well when needed. Great experience, and plan to be back!Signed up for satellite monitoring, I told the office I didn’t have insurance—I would pay out of pocket. My appointment was confirmed for 11/10.

On 11/7 I find out I DO have insurance, unbeknownst to me. I call and leave the billing department a message letting them know I have insurance (Medicaid) on the same day. They finally call me back on 11/9, the day before my appointment, and tell me BECAUSE I have Medicaid, they can’t accept me as a patient, even if I pay out of pocket. I have never heard of a policy like this, but that isn’t the issue. My issue is, they took 2 full days and waited to call me back and tell me that I cannot be a patient with them THE DAY BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT. So now I am scrambling to find another IVF clinic that will accept me as a satellite monitoring patient AND do my baseline labs and ultrasound NEXT DAY. Luckily, RMA of Michigan was able to squeeze me in, AND they had no issue with me paying out of pocket because they didn’t accept Medicaid either. THANK GOD I found RMA of Michigan. IVF is stressful enough without this kind of runaround. The least Michigan center of fertility could have done, was called me back sooner and gave me more time to find another office. Very unprofessional.Amazing staff that goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and help you with whatever your situation is.

Nurses, PA’s and Dr. Kowalczyk are quick to get back to you whenever you have any questions and are so reassuring on the phone and help with everything. If something comes up they always have a plan.

They were difficult to work with and gave my husband and me false information about our health. After putting us through numerous invasive procedures they refused to treat us because of a slightly elevated A1C that was being managed by a PCP. We never even had the opportunity to see the doctor. We only saw PAs and NPs. At one point they had me come in for a procedure, and after it was done they handed me a $700 bill and said I owed it then and there. They told us we would have to do insemination as well. All lies. We found a new doctor who said there is NO reason we can't conceive naturally with help inducing ovulation. This office is unprofessional, disrespectful, and simply wants to bill as much as possible. Do not let them take advantage of you. I found a new doctor who walked us through our results and what they actually meant, has been a partner in care with us, and who developed a plan for us that doesn't involve invasive procedures in order to get pregnant. We start our first cycle in a few weeks!Very disappointed with thus office. I have an appointment to talk with Mandy about some test results and I'm still waiting.

Ive been here 42 minutes and counting. What is the point of coming to get me from the front to put me in a room to just wait some more. At least in the front i know where the door is. I guess my time isn't valuable.After 4 attempts on different days I cannot get a hold of anyone to schedule inI could never get a hold of anyone regarding billing questions or when I was trying to reschedule my appointment.

I would leave messages and no one ever returned my calls. The way they handled contact during COVID was not very helpful at all and I did not feel they were very understanding of me not wanting to physically come in during the beginning of COVID.No idea what that one star review is about. They always call back! Dr. K and her team are the best! So helpful, very friendly, they are VERY BUSY but extremely responsive.Staff is knowledgeable and compassionate. Love the staff.

My takeaway was that she was fully competent but busy...I only met the doctor once before transfer and she was very clinical. She was friendlier during the transfer. That said, the nurses and PA were extremely responsive and helpful during the process, which was good enough for me.My experience was great with Dr Kowalczyk.

During my consultation and initial visits, she walked me through the process of IUI and IVF. She did a thorough check of my bloodwork, internal reproductive organs as well as gave me all of my baseline levels to begin treatment. My husband had regular semen analysis done to ensure we had the best samples to work with. She was very informative...having Dr Kowalczyk a phone call away made the process less stressful. That is what you want during this entire process.Dr. Budrys is the kind of physician every fertility patient hopes to find.

From the very beginning of my IVF journey, she treated me with genuine compassion, patience, and empathy. She never made me feel like just another appointment on the schedule. She made me feel seen, heard, and cared for as a person during one of the most emotional and vulnerable experiences of my life. As a patient, I always felt comfortable asking questions and expressing concerns because she took the time to truly listen. She explained things thoroughly, reassured me during difficult moments, and approached my care with both professionalism and kindness. Her calm and compassionate demeanor made an overwhelming process feel much less lonely and frightening. IVF can be physically and emotionally exhausting, but Dr. Budrys created an environment where I felt supported every step of the way. The care I received from her and the entire clinic made a lasting impact on me, and I will always be grateful for the humanity and compassion she brought to my experience.She [Dr. Carole Kowalczyk] was easy to talk to, very competent and able to address all of my questions and concerns.

She is kind, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. She took the time to answer my questions and took a collaborative approach. We met with Dr. Budrys at scheduled appointments and procedures, but not at regular monitoring appointments. Dr. Budrys suggested less intensive interventions first (e.g. IUI), but I was motivated to pursue IVF immediately due to male factor diagnosis and current insurance coverage for IVF.Dr. Budrys takes her time to review med history and explain in detail about your specific case.

We came to her for a second opinion of being dissatisfied with our original doctor. She was extremely welcome and made us feel comfortable and safe.

With how expensive and delicate this process is, I didn't want to waste time and neither did she. The one weakness I would say is that she is hard to get a hold of during procedure week, but that makes sense since she is pretty in demand. I could ALWAYS get through to a nurse if not her..

Dr. K was so approachable and easy to talk to about the IVF process. While it's of course a tremendous decision (both emotionally and financially), she helped us look at it as such a positive during a dark time. The confidence in herself and her team is amazing and exactly what's needed during fertility treatments.The Dr. [Kowalczyk] was the first health professional to check for things like my inability to process Folic Acid, which is a critical factor in pregnancy and a clotting factor.

I felt no stone was left unturned. She gave recommendations based on our actual situation and needs rather than steering us to trying treatments that were not appropriate. She was also sensitive to our moral/spiritual leanings.very friendly and tells you the facts but in a motherly way...don’t like that I have only physically interacted with her [Dr. Carole Kowalczyk] two times...had to go over next…very friendly and tells you the facts but in a motherly way...don’t like that I have only physically interacted with her [Dr. Carole Kowalczyk] two times...had to go over next steps/ how we are going to change my protocol with a PA instead of her...PA’s are great but after two cycles not going in your favor you just want to talk to the Dr...she has called me when I had questions about moving forward.I've always felt cared for and listened to by Dr. Kowalczyk.

Given my age and diagnosis, I decided to only met once with a physician assistant and always opted for appointments with Dr. Kowalczyk. During our appointments, she always took the time to listen to our questions/concerns and I never once felt rushed...has a great bedside manner. She is warm and is a great listener. She's always explained our next steps in great detail and has set realistic expectations. My only complaint is that I wish she was more available during the IVF process.So we actually saw her [Dr. Kowalczyk's] PA, Alex Karbowski, for our consultation and monitoring.

We got into the clinic faster this way. Alexa specializes in PCOS, my diagnosis, so her and Dr. K reviewed our testing together and created a plan. It was nice knowing both of them were overseeing our care. I never met Dr. K in person, but she did call me to confirm my lab results and protocol.
