Doctors are not straightforward about processes and are very avoidant of questions. We rarely get a call back in less than a week and that has pushed our timeline out so much further than we were first told by the clinic. They lost bloodwork at one point and had to make my wife come back to re-do it, which is pretty concerning. My wife has been treated terribly here and choosing this provider is a major regret for our family. They also constantly misgender me and are not receptive when I speak up about it.Fertility clinic

I have never felt so heard, valued, and genuinely cared for by a doctor or clinic. Before starting our IVF / ICSI journey, we explored multiple clinics both in-state and out-of-state. Every situation is different, but for us, it was incredibly important to understand why we were experiencing years of infertility—not just jump straight into treatment. From the very beginning, our concerns were taken seriously. We felt validated, supported, and guided every step of the way. The team provided referrals to specialists so we could truly get to the root cause, and we were ultimately able to identify male factor infertility. That level of care and thoroughness meant everything to us. Throughout the entire process, we felt seen, heard, and deeply cared for. Infertility is not an easy journey, and coming to terms with needing help to start a family can be emotional. But I can confidently say our experience with Spring Fertility was nothing short of amazing—truly magical and so special. IVF is a big investment, both financially and emotionally, but there is no price you can put on becoming a parent. Every appointment, every conversation, and every step was worth it. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you, Spring Fertility, for blessing our lives. With our due date just around the corner, our hearts are so full of gratitude.I have seen Dr Wu for exploring how my fertility is looking and if I have time to wait for children or not. Every experience I’ve had has been wonderful, informative and helpful.My experience at Spring Fertility was great. Me and my husband trying to get pregnant for 4 years now.

On our 2 years of trying, I decided to have a fertility test and I found out I’m the one who had a problem. I have a blocked fallopian tube. I was crying because I know that one, I can’t get pregnant on my own on natural way. After a year I go to other fertility test again to have a second opinion and this time they have same diagnosis. This is the time I decided to undergo an IVF. They refer Spring Fertility to me and this is the best decision I made. Because when I have my consultation last year December 16 to be exact Doctor Fisher explain to me/us how IVF works and what’s best for me. He is so knowledgeable and he really knows what he’s doing. From the front desk, the nurses especially Nurse Sarina, and medical assistant they are all friendly, nice and they treat you like a family or friend. The Salve app that they had is really helpful also for reminding your medications and appointment. You can contact them also and they answer right away. Right now I’m waiting for my embryo transfer. I love Spring Fertility definitely I gonna recommend this fertility clinic to someone who wants to have a baby through IVF because they can’t have a baby on their own or in natural way.We started our fertility journey at a different clinic, did a lot of research around local clinics and we are so glad we chose Spring. Dr. Fisher was extremely compassionate,…We started our fertility journey at a different clinic, did a lot of research around local clinics and we are so glad we chose Spring. Dr. Fisher was extremely compassionate, knowledgeable and evidence-based, and highly attentive to detail and our individual needs. Infertility is a very personal and vulnerable subject, and I felt an immense sense of trust and relief putting our care in Dr. Fisher’s hands. We would like to give a shoutout to our nurse Sarina who called us after every appointment and throughout our treatment cycles to check on us and answer all our many questions. Thank you Sarina! It was incredibly bittersweet to say our goodbyes during our graduation as Spring has been supporting us every step of the way during this challenging period of our lives. Some reasons I chose and appreciated about this clinic: - Open on weekends and holidays (many clinics are not), cycles and bodies can be unpredictable so not having to stress about when the clinic will be open/closed for monitoring or retrieval was huge - I saw the same provider for each appointment including baseline, monitoring, procedures, with the exception of weekends/holidays and if they’re unavailable (almost all other clinics rotate providers) - They have a lab on site which means you get blood draw data same day - Embryologists are on site (some clinics bring them in) - Easy communication with the nurse via the salve app - Central and easily accessible area in Portland with plenty of free parking in their lotWe had our second transfer with spring and we are now cuddling our baby boy.

We are a queer couple, we started with IUI after a few unsuccessful rounds we moved to IVF. Having all documents, results and communication via the app salve has made things a lot easier to track. We have been offered great support from the nurses, doctors and psychologist throughout the process. Thank you team!I can’t say enough wonderful things about this clinic and the entire team!

From the moment we walked in, we were treated with compassion, professionalism, and genuine care. Dr. Fisher was amazing. He took the time to explain every step of the IVF process, making sure we understood and felt comfortable throughout. We did experience a few setbacks getting my husband’s vials sent over, but the staff handled everything with care and kept us updated until it was all resolved. Their communication and dedication made what could have been stressful feel manageable and supported. I’m so grateful to have been referred to this clinic and this amazing team!We’ve been to multiple clinics throughout our fertility journey, and Dr. Wu and her team at Spring are truly exceptional.

They are unmatched in their attention to detail, thoughtful planning, efficiency, and genuine compassion. Dr. Wu is incredibly knowledgeable and meticulous — I always felt safe, cared for, and confident in her hands. I also want to give special thanks to my favorite nurse, Mikayla, who has been so wonderfully supportive, kind, and encouraging every step of the way. We’re so grateful for the care we’ve received and can’t recommend Dr. Wu and the Spring Fertility team highly enough!Run Away. This isn't where you want to start this journey.

They took tons of blood for labs and then forgot to actually order half of them (for both me and my husband). Then they sent me to LabCorp to get them redone and forgot to communicate with them as well. Their own stab lab was full of Starbucks cups and gym bags- not even sure that's OSHA compliant. The worst part is the multiple phone calls I made to them without any return. What if my call was time sensitive like so many IVF appointments are? Isn't your doctor supposed to call you back? We left this facility quickly and are having a VERY positive experience at another infertility clinic so do yourself a favor and try elsewhere first!As echoed in many other reviews the communication is HORRIBLE. They do everything via an app, which created alot of frustration in my experience. I had the initial in person…As echoed in many other reviews the communication is HORRIBLE. They do everything via an app, which created alot of frustration in my experience. I had the initial in person appointment in May. Appointment cost $350 plus bloodwork for both of us, $630. I was billed incorrectly at time of service, after adamantly telling the assistant that my insurance would not cover our bloodwork, it turns out they billed anyway. The assistant had virtually no emotional intelligence, and I left feeling very frustrated after that interaction. We were talked into bloodwork for my trans husband, which I knew was not necessary as he will not carry under any circumstance. After our appointment, I gave feedback to the very young and inexperienced coordinator that I would prefer email communication to keep the process streamlined. That feedback was ignored, and more app messages and phone calls were received. There were 2 steps (after reviewing bloodwork) before picking a donor. We did the HSG appointment as requested in LO, another $550 paid but a much better experience (not at spring). The last step before choosing a sperm donor, was a mandatory consult telling us how to have a conversation with our future child about donor conception. I feel this is a breach of privacy as well as a money grab. Several others in our group were extremely angry about this requirement, and the lack of autonomy in a community that has already endured so much. This service cost $150 and and wasted 2 hours. For non queer couples it’s a $500 consult. The greatest part of all of this was I spent the last two weeks emailing with finance as I was informed of the billing issues last week. Aka you owe us $465 in 7 days or it’s going to collections…. 5 MONTHS after the appointment! They took zero accountability for their billing errors, and instead put everything on me. This entire process has felt cold, manipulative and a complete money grab. $1130 wasted, and no closer to having a baby. The staff is far too young and inexperienced for this field. We’re trying to have a baby. This process should be the exact opposite of what it has been. Queer humans or any humans looking for safety and support, stay away.Dr. Fisher and his team including Haley, Sarina and Melanie did an excellent job.

End to end the communication was prompt and top notch. This team worked smoothly together around complex timelines to make sure I fully understood the process well ahead of time and worked things around my personal and work schedule. When the pharmacy failed to send me an injection pen, they made themselves available on the weekend to pick it up from the clinic. Dr. Fisher ran my IVF cycle and retrieved 28 eggs at age 37 with no pre-existing issues. This resulted in 4 grade A embryos that were genetically euploid. Very happy with the result and would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Fisher and Spring to family and friends.Still currently a spring patient but leaving a review as I have been very impressed with them and very happy with my care.

Dr. Fisher is my doctor and I am really happy I ended up under his care. He really individualizes the plan for what is right for you and your goals, is very attentive, and compassionate (which is so important in a Fertility doctor). I also appreciate how he will be direct with the information and include you in the decision making. His years of experience and breadth of knowledge shows. His nurse Sarina is amazing, she underwent IVF herself and is very caring. The facility is nice and though I know other people complained about the app in the comments I found it works exactly as you need it to with lots of useful information, calendar for your treatment plan, and medication reminders. Would recommend this clinic for fertility care.Infertility can be a very stressful process...my husband and I decided to start our journey with Spring, in hopes of getting some assistance and easing the process. Unfortunately,…Infertility can be a very stressful process...my husband and I decided to start our journey with Spring, in hopes of getting some assistance and easing the process. Unfortunately, Spring has felt like a nightmare to work with! Communication is SO poor and leads to a lot of unnecessary anxiety. Getting in touch with my care team on CD1 has been difficult for every cycle, often requiring 3-4 calls AND a portal message to reach someone, or not hearing back until the following afternoon (all have been on weekdays) and then having to be rushed in at the very last minute for an appointment. Basic administrative stuff is just...not done until we requested multiple times for it to be done. Additionally, at baseline or monitoring appointments, we would be told one thing by the Dr and when the nurse would call later we were told something different and given different meds, which we would then have to ask for clarification on. I even had the Dr tell me one thing at an appointment and then something entirely different at the next, making me wonder if she was looking at the right chart (or knew my response to the medication wasn't what it should be, but wanted to proceed anyway?). Needless to say, working with Spring has been a very frustrating experience and a lot of money down the drain. Looking at some of the positive reviews, I can't tell if the problem has been with my specific care team or Spring as a whole.... but I would strongly recommend going elsewhere.Super clean, lovely atmosphere, huge team, thorough care.

Pleasant experience overall and a million times better than the last place we tried. The only issue we had was lack of 100% clarity around possible meds that wouldn’t be covered under the med package and how much those would cost.I cannot thank Spring’s Fertility enough.

With dozens of duplicative appointments. Completely let down by Spring. I was told they were the only ones in the area who my insurance would cover. Every time I show up for an appointment they reassure me it’s all covered by my insurance. Then I receive monthly bills to my house, threats to send it to collections, then when I circle around with my insurance company they received nothing at all from Spring. Took several calls with the spring financial department only to be told everything was straightened out and I’d receive no more bills. Only show up to my latest appointment and still be asked to pay out of pocket because Spring dropped the ball on the insurance paperwork.I've been working with Spring and Doctor Fisher's team specifically since may 2024.

Dr. Fisher is thoughtful and thorough and worked with me on a treatment plan that fit. All the nurses and staff I worked with have been helpful and knowledgeable and my main nurse Sarina is my go to for basic questions and updates. Responsiveness is so important and I have never had to wait long for a reply, usually less than a day when I send a portal message. I also felt that the finance estimates were clear and I understood the timing of every step. Spring had a good process of teaching you each step of the IVF process and I never felt confused about what I was supposed to do. One thing I didn't realize was so important is having a clinic that is open every day, and spring will bring you in for ultrasounds or testing any day (including holidays!) which is such a relief because IVF can be so time sensitive. I also appreciate the flexibility of being able to get my blood work done before work. They have exceeded my expectations and I would absolutely recommend Spring.My experience at Spring has been phenomenal.

Prior to seeking treatment at Spring, my husband and I underwent two cycles at another prominent local clinic. I don't have any real complaints about that experience, but the personalized, detailed, one-on-one care we received from Dr. Fischer and his team at Spring was just unparalleled. Dr. Fischer is a phenomenal, detail-oriented, and incredibly kind physician. Unlike at the other clinic, my physician performed almost every single monitoring ultrasound through three egg retrieval cycles, and those monitoring appointments were more frequent and comprehensive as well. Dr. Fischer poured over my records before every appointment and made specific personalized adjustments to my treatment plan based on how my body responded. He explained every decision in great detail and answered every question I had. I never felt rushed, and I never felt like I was receiving the same standardized treatment plan as every other patient (which is the vibe at many clinics). Dr. Fischer's care team was also fantastic. I couldn't have asked for better communication or more knowledgeable resources. And the rest of the staff were lovely as well. Every nurse and phlebotomist I encountered was friendly, kind, and efficient. I don't know the ultimate results of my treatment yet, but I have no doubt whatsoever that I chose the right place to continue my care. If you are looking for the cheapest option in town, Spring probably isn't it. But if you want the most knowledgeable and detail oriented physicians I've encountered, then Spring is your place.When the OHSU office was transferred to Spring, I was assured that things would be the same. They are not. The transfer process itself was a chaotic. Then, despite your patience,…When the OHSU office was transferred to Spring, I was assured that things would be the same. They are not. The transfer process itself was a chaotic. Then, despite your patience, trust, and support, when you finally resume your treatment, the nurse constantly tells you the doctor is out of the office, so you have to wait a week. Yes, you paid full price, but you only get part-time care. This happened at almost every step, includes the time when my transfer of a genetically normal embryo failed and needed most emotional support. They don’t care about you. If you still want to make it work, and request to talk to another doctor, they tell you they need multiple internal approvals which takes forever. So you are basically stuck here. They do not care about you! Getting fertility treatment is stressful enough; you don’t need more stress from the clinic. And your fertility period is limited, if you don’t want to waste your time only because the clinic doesn’t know what they are doing, don’t come here! Update: As they correctly pointed out, for anyone who chose here because they trusted OHSU: this is a different clinic.We switched to Spring Fertility after an unsuccessful first retrieval with another clinic in PDX and couldn't be happier we made the switch. While the initial process of getting…We switched to Spring Fertility after an unsuccessful first retrieval with another clinic in PDX and couldn't be happier we made the switch. While the initial process of getting under care was a little bit bumpy with the administrative back & forth, once we were under care I couldn't have been happier with the experience and the custom level of care we received from them. We worked with Dr. Fischer and highly recommend. A big difference between Spring and the other clinic was that we directly saw or engaged with Dr. Fischer for all of our appts throughout both the egg retrieval and transfer process (excluding blood draw only appts where we only saw the phlebotomist). Every recommendation throughout the process felt tailored and custom to me vs. what felt like a rinse and repeat approach at the previous clinic. The appts were timely, the nurses were kind and the clinic is clean and easy to navigate. We are pregnant and have now graduated following a successful retrieval and first transfer. Highly recommend working with Spring and specifically Dr. Fischer. Best of luck!We loved the team here at spring fertility.

I had nothing but a wonderful experience. It was super clean and cozy. All of the staff were kind and efficient. The nurses were all amazing. The anesthesiologist was also so kind. I will say many of the negative reviews were relating to insurance which isn't springs fault, it's the insurance company patients choose. Also it seems some of the negative reviews were relating to the patients fertility clinics themselves, which again isn't spring. The other negative reviews were when this clinic just opened. I would highly recommend. Parking was easy and right out front.This clinic has a separate IVF lab and a separate surgery center that DO NOT contract with majority of insurance companies.

Also VERY POOR communication, difficult to get a hold of care team and extremely slow response time. We were patients at OHSU and their IVF clinic switched to Spring—without us knowing any better we too went along with the transfer to Spring. We loved our fertility doctor but this clinic just did not provide us with the quality care we deserve and require for such an important, vulnerable, and difficult life experience. Sadly, we now need to switch clinics again and essentially start over in order to pursue our fertility journey. Please do not waste your time here.It was an ongoing struggle to get in touch with staff, and we nearly missed a cycle because our "patient navigator" kept saying they were working on our prior authorization…It was an ongoing struggle to get in touch with staff, and we nearly missed a cycle because our "patient navigator" kept saying they were working on our prior authorization paperwork when they weren't — we called every day for a week and only once we insisted on talking to a manager did we get it sorted. We found out an hour before our trigger shot that they had prescribed only half the usual dose we received — we drove across town against the clock to get the rest. This was after their initial prescription to our specialty pharmacy didn't include ANY trigger medication at all - another error we had to catch. Did they apologize? No, they sent us a bill for the extra drugs, which of course we couldn't get covered by insurance on an hour's notice. Once we had to sit in the waiting room for 45 minutes because they wouldn't let us get an ultrasound until we paid our invoice, but they had no invoice to give us. The receptionist literally handled us a post-it note with $14 thousand-odd dollars written on it and told us that should be sufficient information for us to pay. I could go on and on — it was just awful working with their office. And they run all communication through a broken and terrible app, Salve, which is basically unusable. Very importantly — their website says that they take all these different types of insurance, but that's just their office. The lab — the expensive part — does not have the same insurance coverage, and since their finance team is remote and nearly impossible to get in touch with, we had to pay for a lot more out of pocket than we expected. When I hear of other people being able to get in touch with their fertility clinic just by calling, or that their drugs were ordered correctly and they didn't have to cross-check every last thing all the time, I'm happy for them but sad for myself as it was a part time job getting this office to do their job at all. To whoever instantly replies to these reviews wanting us to email them: We escalated our concerns all the time — to the office manager, to the practice physician, and we filled out the requested surveys and made it very clear what our experience was like, so no, we won't be emailing your office yet again.The communication leading up to my initial appointment was really great and my first appointment with Dr. Krieg was phenomenal. This is my 5th fertility clinic, 6th if you include…The communication leading up to my initial appointment was really great and my first appointment with Dr. Krieg was phenomenal. This is my 5th fertility clinic, 6th if you include messing around with Kaiser's "Infertility" office, and Dr. Krieg was the most genuine and easy to talk to. I have done so much review of the literature around RPL and most doctors have felt like I know more about my diagnosis than they do and I have felt very gaslighted in the past, but not with her. She is a 5 star clinician for sure! But trying to get my embryos transported from my old clinic to Spring has been a nightmare. Prior to being able to even get an appointment with Spring, I had to provide a lot of paperwork regarding the health of my embryos- now the "Tissue Bank" at Spring is saying they don't have those records. I reached out to the intake coordinator, who is incredibly helpful, and she assured me she uploaded all 190+ pages of records from my old clinic. I reached out to my old clinic and they have assured me they have sent everything over that the "Tissue Bank" requires, but no one is getting back to me. I have left numerous messages and all I've been told is that they still aren't seeing them. To add to the stress of all of this, my old clinic is eminently closing, and if my embryos are not transported by February 28th they will be sent to Colorado. The lack of assistance from the Tissue Bank at Spring to help with this is incredibly frustrating and making, what I thought was going to be a good choice in moving to them, feel like maybe I should've chosen a different clinic that cared and would help me navigate this.Lack of organization and management and communication.

Failed cycle and was sent to do lab however lab office I went to after driving a hour does not accept the type of lab work provided and was told to drive an additional 2 hours to go to another lab. Dr. Kornfield was personable and kind however I was not communicated/other doctors assigned never seemed to have read my chart and got different recommendation or the days agenda by appointment with mixed communication. Patient care coordinator changed and expressed that things will change and I should hear from new patient care coordinator however never got connected, terrible at connecting with time sensitive issue. Does not follow through on promises, does not provide constructive information nor feed back nor communication. Terribly managed. Especially as a facility working with treatment as sensitive as fertility absolutely 100% do not recommend. Not able to connect reason told system down, terrible “bedside” manner. Very very disappointed. Save time and emotional toll and go to a different fertility clinic.- Dr. Krieg is very kind and also gone a lot recently and probably really busy and it can come across as being not very aware of patient specifics and kind of checked out. - Dr.…- Dr. Krieg is very kind and also gone a lot recently and probably really busy and it can come across as being not very aware of patient specifics and kind of checked out. - Dr. Palmor has by far the best bedside manner of any of the doctors I worked with here. Very talented and kind and made me comfortable rather than seeming like she just needed to get whatever ultrasound or procedure over and done with asap to get onto the next thing. Compared to my interactions with other doctors, she was far superior. - The app isn’t great, there’s a lot of redundancy with so many message threads going on at once and it just takes a lot of cognitive energy to manage. I think this just reflects the general vibe of being a bit chaotic and the communication from their end not being super strong. I was able to make it work but it took a lot of energy on my part. - I think this is probably the case for many many fertility clinics - I just felt like a cog in a (money making) machine. The overall feelings I come away from the experience with are dehumanized and demoralized. It’s not any one person’s fault, or even unique to Spring I’m guessing. On the upside, I’m glad I don’t work in this industry.I’ve had a great experience with staff, communication and the facility.

The staff were friendly, my doctor knowledgeable, caring and available when needed, and my navigator and nurses prompt, kind and reassuring. Regardless of the outcome (I really believe its in God’s hands), I think for a process new to me and a newer facility, they’ve done a good job with caring for me, informing me of reasonable expectations and coordinating all of the appointments and listening. I do not doubt my doctors’ expertise and know they genuinely care about my health and my future.I was Dr Fishers patient when he was at their location in the Bay Area.

This is a new facility that just opened in the Portland area and they were incredibly supportive, thoughtful, communicative and flexible with us. What I really loved is that you have a dedicated team to help you with every step in this very vulnerable journey. I met with Dr. Fisher and I absolutely loved him. He was so informative, thoughtful, and compassionate. Excited to continue this process.I had an appointment with Spring to discuss options regarding IUI/IVF.

I knew I didn’t want to start any sort of treatment for at least a few months due to other things going on in my life, but wanted to get the necessary tests out of the way for when I was ready. I started working my way through the their Salve app, doing the informational videos, completing blood work, a HSG, etc. Pros: -I saw Dr. Wu who was very kind, knowledgeable, and direct but not judgmental. The medical assistant and lab techs were all very friendly and made me feel at ease. -The office is nice and in an easy area to get to/park. Cons: -The Salve app is not user friendly -I was expecting to be able to access some sort of summary of my visit and this is not something they offer, even upon request (my PCP was interested in seeing it as well as details of my in office ultrasound) -Patient care coordinator - I hate to say this as she seemed very nice at my appointment and I know the office is newer. But she seems to have very little knowledge of the job. Besides the initial info I was sent after my first appointment I have had to reach out to the care coordinator for everything Can I get my order so I can schedule this test? Can I see my test results that haven’t been uploaded well after they were supposed to? I’ve also received conflicting information from the care coordinator from what I read in the app or was told by the doctor, which made the process more confusing than it already was. I really liked Dr Wu, but the overall experience makes me feel very hesitant to move forward with starting IUI or IVF here. I fear that important things might be missed and don’t want to waste my time and money.Dr. Kornfield is an incredible provider! She is professional, but also approachable and personable.

I used FSH and LH injections for about 10 days and then a trigger shot. It was very successful.
