She did not come off as overly professional...She also seems inflexible to her treatment plan. When things didn't work she didn't seem to have a menu of diff things that could be tried but just one thing that has worked for her in the past...encouraged us to try IUIs, which did not work, and then to use a controversial method for her to "under a the cycle", and then use IVF. When IVF did not work, she advised her to take blood thinners as an intervention.Fertility clinic

She changed my plan of care often without reason...Many of her statements have been disputed by my current RE who is far more evidence-based. I would never trust this physician with my life or the future of my family. Dr. Smith is not trustworthy, compassionate, or consistent in her care delivery...Her surgical notes were conflicting as well[Dr. Deborah Smith] was peasant enough, but behind on new technologies.Then we were handed off to a scatterbrained nurse who was unable to answer many of our questions... her…[Dr. Deborah Smith] was peasant enough, but behind on new technologies.Then we were handed off to a scatterbrained nurse who was unable to answer many of our questions... her prices are very high for the area. She also has a poor bedside manner. I get the impression she is only interested in making money, not helping people...the doctor and her staff are disorganized and lacking in customer care and compassion.We were diagnosed with unexplained infertility [by Dr. Deborah Smith].

We had tried clomid with timed intercourse, so she said it would be best to try a couple rounds of iui before seeking other options...We saw Dr. Smith only a couple of times during the many visits. Most of the time we met with the nurses. Dr. Smith was very blunt and to the point but did not give much detail... She didn’t show much compassion and there just wasn’t a lot of explanation of what to expect or what the options were. We mostly dealt with the nurse than with her. We have only done IUI so far but because of the lack of communication we don’t feel confident in our care from her there.She [Dr. Deborah Smith] was a godsend when I was in recovery after the surgery, and experiencing terrible bladder pain, begging for a catheter. Even though I did not meet the…She [Dr. Deborah Smith] was a godsend when I was in recovery after the surgery, and experiencing terrible bladder pain, begging for a catheter. Even though I did not meet the qualifications for a catheter, she understood that I was in extreme pain and allowed for a catheterization. I am grateful for that, as it was a traumatic situation. However, during my post-op appointment, her bedside manner was completely absent. She performed a pelvic exam so abruptly that I felt violated.I am still on DHEA and a cocktail of vitamins.

She also prescribed acupuncture for me. I really like that Dr. Smith includes holistic methods in addition to the prescriptions...can seem a little distant, but you can tell she knows her stuff so it didn't really matter to me that she wasn't more heartfelt with me. She's matter of fact and professional. Her nursing staff was stellar at the hand-holding, softer bedside manner so it kind of balanced out.I feel like Dr. Smith could have explained things a little more clearly on my level for me to understand.

I am new to all this and had no idea what questions to ask or have anything to expect. I really didn't know what to expect... The intake wasn't that extensive and she was assuming my diagnosis of PCOS was accurate. She only tested me for my cycle day 3 hormones and was already telling me about Donor eggs and such[Dr. Deborah Smith] is always very personable and knowledgeable.

Very easy to work with...is extremely knowledgeable and straight to the point. She knows exactly what to test for and the path to recommend. After only a month of seeing Dr. Smith and Emily we were blessed with a baby boy!!...Checked to make sure all vitals looked good such as vitamins levels, egg quality, sperm quality. I was extremely low in vitamins D. Started taking 50,000 IU dosage to get my levels back in order. Also took femara at 5 mg with Ovidrel shot with IUI and received positive pregnancy test!As I said Dr. Smith isn't the warmest person so if you need emotional reassurance please take a loved one with you to offer you that support ...

She really breaks down information for you and does have your safety at heart. ... We tried clomid first, a high dose due to my BMI. ...

She does rush through visits it seems to get on to her next patient. I will say that she is readily available to answer the questions we have for the nurses...Initially my wife’s clomismd dose was to low so that took two cycles to be adjusted . We were doing timed intercourse with meds. Then we were pregnant and had a miscarriage and she was very blunt and rough even though we were devastated. Then we started iui using pregnyl instead of ovidrel we used before. Two iui later no results. We’re trying a third iui then probably have to go to ivf.Dr Smith is very smart. She bases decisions off data and adjusts treatment as needed for best chances. She has been honest with us. We enjoy seeing her as she is very personable…Dr Smith is very smart. She bases decisions off data and adjusts treatment as needed for best chances. She has been honest with us. We enjoy seeing her as she is very personable as well. I feel like we are working with the best.... 1st 2 cycles cloned with iui. 1 miscarriage 1 negative. Next 3 cycles a different hormone drug and iui. All negative. Last cycle injectable follitism with iui. Also negative.... The most important thing the doctor can do is know what they are doing.She [Dr. Smith] was very good at making sure we had all the information needed in order to make the transfer sucessful.

Because she recommended an ERA we were able to get pregnant on our first transfer and not lose our only 2 embryos... We did a ERA trial transfer and my progesterone was at 6pm. Test showed that the transfer would need to be at a different time so we moved my progesterone to 6a and our transfer was successful.She doesn't take the time to let you know what's going on, what to expect moving forward, or to really talk with you at all. One failed attempt at pregnancy after the next, and…She doesn't take the time to let you know what's going on, what to expect moving forward, or to really talk with you at all. One failed attempt at pregnancy after the next, and she never once said anything encouraging to me, or offered any support emotionally about what I was going through...She [Dr. Smith] is a very blunt doctor, but I prefer a doctor that's going to tell me how it is rather than try to cover something up. She is very knowledgeable in the field of…She [Dr. Smith] is a very blunt doctor, but I prefer a doctor that's going to tell me how it is rather than try to cover something up. She is very knowledgeable in the field of infertility and could explain the procedures we were going through so that we understood everything.... She was very personable and easy to talk with about any concerns.... for egg retrieval we used Follistim, menopur and ganirelix. Pregnyl to trigger. We did the egg retrieval and retrieved 33 eggs. From those 33 only 11 were injected with sperm, the only viable sperm they could find from my husband.Dr. Deborah Smith is involved in every appointment and completes every ultrasound herself.

She is very thorough in her discussion and a very good bedside manner. She's always willing to talk and discuss your questions with you along the way... Long Lupron Protocol. This is a very common protocol used and we wanted to ensure decent egg collection. While our antral follicle count is high, the goal was to try and replicate getting close to that number. We didn't need to change much at all throughout that process from beginning to end. We weren't able to replicate my antral follicle count, but my numbers were still within her range of what's to be expected.if I ever needed to talk with Dr.Smith, I could call her on her personal phone and she would answer any questions I had. It is hard to do IVF from another state, but even though I…if I ever needed to talk with Dr.Smith, I could call her on her personal phone and she would answer any questions I had. It is hard to do IVF from another state, but even though I still felt valued. ... I lost both of my fallopian tubes so IVF is my only option. I had a very easy IVF protocol compared to some. I did not have to take as many injections or pills, but they still had me doing acupuncture, along with all the testing to help them find the best time to transfer embryos.Deborah Smith showed a lot of knowledge.

She gave us the facts, percentages, and explanations in a professional warm manner. She seemed to be a positive, caring person who always addressed our concerns. She’s helped my wife and I conceive our first child, and we couldn’t have done it without her. While our fertility has gotten worse since the our first child, we still have faith and trust that Debra will help us conceive second child.We have never felt pushed towards a certain treatment plan and in fact she [Dr. Deborah Smith] recommended IUI before moving to IVF.

It worked for our first child and now after three unsuccessful IUI rounds we are moving on to IVF...She is candid but compassionate. She spends as much time as necessary to explain your condition, proposed procedures, and likelihood of success. She makes medical determinations based on your specific case and not general statistics.Just because she [Dr. Smith] set course a particular treatment, didn't mean she was sitting back and waiting for the next step on the calendar. As the process/cycle progressed she…Just because she [Dr. Smith] set course a particular treatment, didn't mean she was sitting back and waiting for the next step on the calendar. As the process/cycle progressed she was constantly re-evaluating to ensure that we were giving our embryos the best chance at success!

Although we have always know we both had issues to overcome, noone ever suggested that before. It was one of the best suggestions we'd had. We didn't find affix for his problems, but at least now we understand the issue better...She was wonderful. Always willing to take the time to answer my questions fully.
