Institute for Reproductive Health

Me and my husband first visit was Thursday they are all so sweet and caring, Doctor King was so nice and I loved how she cared and asked us questions to start our journey to becoming parents. Looking forward to going back to help get our family started.

My wife and I went to IRH in Louisville In February 2023, we are now expecting our baby girl April 2024! We are so grateful to IRH.. Dr. Michael Awadalla is a kind and wonderful doctor. IRH took the time to explain all of our options and the whole staff is very caring for everyone’s personal situation.We could not be more happy with the results! We would definitely recommended for anyone with infertility issues.

We have IRH to thank for our two precious children. After more than a year of trying to conceive, we scheduled with IRH in 2021 welcomed our daughter later that year. In 2023 when looking to grow our family, we met with the team at IRH once again and now we have been blessed with a son. Everyone in this office goes above and beyond. We are so thankful for this group! I would highly recommend this office if you are experiencing difficulty in TTC.

IRH provided great communication and bedside manner throughout our experience. They also worked with Progyny insurance well. We did IUIs and medicated cycles before moving onto IVF, currently pregnant our first FET. Thanks so much to IRH staff and the doctors that made this possible for our family!

We received our miracle after starting the process with IRH. Dr. Awadalla and the team made the entire process seamless from start to finish. It was the best experience I have ever had at a fertility clinic, and I had been to three prior to IRH. I will forever be grateful I took the leap to call and schedule an appointment.

We have been with IRH for about a year now. Every time we have gone to this location they have been very welcoming and efficient. When we walk in we are seen pretty quickly and all the doctors are friendly. We have seen almost every doctor there and I have no complaints at all. They have been kind and understanding through all of our fertility issues and miscarriages. I would recommend IRH to anyone struggling with having a baby.

I cannot say thank you enough to all the doctors and nurses at IRH. Getting a second opinion was the best decision my husband and I made in our fertility journey. After almost 7 years of struggling with infertility we are pregnant with our first baby. This would not have been possible without the expertise from the doctors at IRH.

My husband and I were trying for about 1.5 years when we decided to meet with a fertility doctor. The doctors and staff with IRH are amazing, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Luckily after 3 rounds of letrozole shots, we found out we were expecting. Every couple is different but I’m very happy with my experience with IRH. They were NOT quick to jump to IUI or IVF. We started at the beginning step. I am now 29 weeks pregnant! Highly recommend.

IRH is top notch. The physicians and staff are professional, compassionate, and kind. So thankful for this new Louisville location! We didn’t mind driving to Cincinnati for treatment but this new office has made our IRH experience even better! They’re the best. I will sing their praises forever - they gave me my son and now we have a daughter on the way!

The entire staff at IRH is amazing. They are all so caring and attentive. We had been seeing an RE in Lexington, and after a year we were no closer to having a baby than we were when we started. We were about to give up when a client of mine recommended IRH. I called and scheduled a consultation and we seen Dr. Scheiber. He seemed so hopeful that we had a good fighting chance at conceiving, which gave us some hope that we had lost. Our consultation was September 9th, we had an IUI September 23rd, and by October 4th I found out I was pregnant! I now have a happy, healthy 2 month old. We will be forever grateful for Dr. Scheiber and the whole IRH team.

We loved our experience at IRH! We had been to one other fertility place before we heard about IRH. And the other place was nowhere near as good as IRH. The doctors, nurses, staff were all exceptional! Very helpful, compassionate, and understanding. All 3 if the male doctors we used at IRH were amazing! They really feel for their patients! Today, literally today, we have two beautiful 6-year-old daughters(twins) who celebrated their birthday. We cannot imagine our lives without them and they would not have been made possible without the help from IRH! Thank you for everything and giving us these two special blessings!

We had a great consultation with Dr Scheiber! My husband and I both really liked him. He took the time to answer all of our questions and actually listened to our symptoms/issues. We were their first patients at their new Louisville office! The staff was very welcoming and we were very pleased with our decision to switch to IRH after multiple failed treatments at another local clinic.

We originally spent about 6 cycles with a local, much smaller, clinic. We never felt like people, just numbers. We decided to go with IRH and jump straight into IVF. From the beginning we felt a huge difference. Dr. Scheiber is the most personable doctor I’ve ever met! Even though this was a MUCH bigger clinic than the first one we used, we always felt heard and like they knew who we were. It was such a nice change! Oh and we have a perfect 9 month old baby boy thanks to them from our first transfer. Their prices are super competitive(the other office would have cost us about twice as much!) and their success rates are great too.

Dr. Michael Awadalla is a knowledgeable doctor. I have been extremely impressed with IRH. This is our third round of ivf and first time at IRH. My previous ivf clinic we had two failures and I was told that we would need donor eggs. Dr. Awadalla did not believe this and put me on a different protocol for stimulation. We were able to have a more successful retrieval . I am currently pregnant because of this.

What a blessing that IRH now has offices in Louisville! 6 years ago, IRH helped us achieve our dream of becoming parents, and we welcomed twin boys into our home. While we were happy to make that drive to Cincinnati, its amazing that more people now have access to their services with a Louisville office. We cannot speak highly enough of of the doctors and staff at IRH. They are a true blessing!

Dr. O’Leary and the incredible team of doctors and nurses at IRH helped us start our family and give us our miracle identical twins! All of the doctors and staff are so caring and genuine and help ease your questions and fears along the journey. We are so grateful for everyone on the IRH team and we would recommend them to anyone!

IRH was there for us during a very emotional time in our life. We were facing a situation that we never hoped to face when we got married, but everyone at IRH treated us with compassion and empathy. The doctors are so knowledgeable and provided the best evidenced based treatments. They listened to my vents, helped to dry my tears, and answered my 1billion questions. I don’t wish infertility on anyone, but I 100 recommend IRH if you happen to be in this awful infertility club.

We absolutely love IRH! We wouldn’t have our first son without them and when we got pregnant on our own with our second, they welcomed us into their office again just to monitor the pregnancy for the first few weeks! They truly care about each patient and are excited for every single baby conceived.

The Staff is very responsive and communication is quick. The one star review is bc I felt like they were quick to discuss and push IVF. The 2 rounds of IUI I had the first one was a waste bc of the follicle size and timing (confirmed by a second opinion) and the second one did not take- due to a missed diagnosis by IRH. I felt like it was very cookie cutter and not patient specific. My gut told me something was being missed and wanted to discuss my concerns w an MD. I was told it would be one month out before I could get an appt, however, they could get me in immediately for an IUI (cash pay procedure) which I could then address the dr. After that I followed my gut and sought out a second opinion. Thankfully, the second place I went was quick to perform an in office test that confirmed why I had RPL and unexplained infertility. Had I stuck w the treatment plan IRH had discussed I would have paid $20k for IVF that would have never worked. Perhaps in Cincinnati it’s better care but the louisville office I would be cautious of. They have no hospital privileges in town and failed to disclose that in the beginning.This journey is complicated and challenging and a medical doctor who knows your chart is essential. I asked one MD if I needed to take medication after my 2nd IUI his response was “I don’t know, I haven’t looked at your chart, what did the original dr who saw you say?” I laughed and said you’re the physician performing the procedure can you pls look and let me know. I never heard back… I also discussed my concerns about having multiples and basically my concern was dismissed and told I was being unreasonable and asked how badly do you want a child?Overall my experience was subpar, not patient specific, and everything felt very transactional as opposed to guided and cared for.If you only want IVF, this is the place.

Love this place and people!! Everyone we came in contact with were so helpful and positive and as we all know infertility is a very disheartening journey. But 8 months after our first visit with them we are expecting our first child! Dr. Sherif Awadalla & Dr. Scheiber were so kind and personable and we cannot thank them and their staff enough!! Nurses are AMAZING! Always timely with returning phone calls and messages and in a time of stress that is extremely appreciated!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

Dr. Burwinkle and the whole team at Institute for Reproductive Health in Cincinnati, OH are amazing and played a huge part in bringing our sweet miracle into our lives.We look back on our time at IRH with fondness and tell people all the time about the kindness and compassion of the team who held our hand every step of the way.We highly recommend this facility and team!

We had an amazing experience with everyone here. God is working through these doctors. It took 2 cycles and we are we are pregnant. Im so happy our friends recommended us to IRH.

Dr. Scheiber and the entire staff are the reason we have our two babies. I can’t say enough good things about everyone at IRH! I am so grateful that my Louisville OB/GYN recommended we drive all the way to Cincinnati to see Dr. S. Louisville is so lucky to have this practice in town because they are amazing!

They are making it Impossible to schedule. We have filled out our forms - once again- called everyday, multiple times a day- they transfer the call back & forth & i have to leave yet another msg & wait on a call. Now theyre saying my partner hasnt filled out his forms - his info was attached to mine- we filled it out together & it wouldnt let me send it unless it was ALL filled out so yea- it was completed. Waited on another call to be returned for them to say its not on our end, its the coordinator on THEIR end they’re waiting for to sign. Its been back & forth. Ive done multiple iui’s here with no success- trying to get the point where i can try again. Really wish I had started elsewhere. Its been money down the drain anyway. ** Dr. Thomas Burwinkle was the best doctor I couldve asked for, who I met during the first visit.

14 years ago, my husband and I decided we definitely needed help conceiving. IRH was highly recommended to us and from the first appointment onward we were educated, treated with the utmost professionalism, but most importantly, cared for with compassion. Today, after a successful IVF treatment, we enjoy our gift.....12 year old Mallory, who is the light of our our lives. Thank you, Dr. Awadalla and team of experts for your expertise. Because of you, we are called Mama and Daddy!

Absolutely love the doctors and staff here! They make you feel comfortable and hopeful. We drove from eastern Kentucky and it was definitely worth it. We had IVF at IRH and thankfully it was successful! We now have a one year old son. We couldn’t be more grateful!

We have nothing but wonderful things to say about the entire IRH experience. We were fortunate enough to work with the Cincy, Florence and Louisville offices! All were beyond kind, patient, always available and professional. We cant thank the doctors and staff enough for their help and support in helping us create a family!

IRH Did exactly what they said they would. I had a few bumps in the road but they all lead me to a successful pregnancy on our first try. I was so excited to hear I was pregnant. My baby is now 3 months old. I would highly recommend Dr Burwinkel. He was great. Thanks for giving me my miracle baby.

The doctors and staff and IRH are nothing short of amazing! From the very beginning they were helpful and kind in our journey to grow our family! We are so thankful for this team and have been blessed with two healthy baby boys!

My family began with IRH in 2009. With the help of Dr Awadalla, we conceived our daughter in 2011. We went back and had our son in 2016. During these times, my husband was severing active duty in Air Force. We traveled from Texas, Japan, and Florida for the expertise of IRH. We were blessed in 2019 to welcome our surprise baby. We are so grateful to IRH for helping us build our family!

After trying to conceive for a year (doing all the things) we took the trek to Cincinnati from Lexington because we heard so many good things about IRH. We got an US and plan on day 1 which I was very thankful for. Soon after we got those 2 lines all wannabe moms hope for. Now here we are today thankful for their medical knowledge and plan that gave us our 1st baby!

We love IRH! Thanks to the great staff there (especially Dr. Awadalla) we were able to achieve our dreams of becoming parents. We will always recommend this place to anyone experiencing infertility.

I was a patient with The Institute for Reproductive Health this year after suffering two losses before being seen. I was a patient of Dr. Awadalla’s he was very kind and understanding and listened to every concern I had. He was able to diagnose me with a medical condition I had always thought I had for years, but no other doctor would listen to me. I had been trying to conceive for 2 years and am now happily pregnant with a healthy baby and no complications. I thank IRH everyday for the opportunity to treat me and allow me to become a mother. I will never see another Reproductive Endocrinologist after seeing them. They will forever be my go to doctors.

The Institute for Reproductive Health has an outstanding staff of caring professionals. All of the physicians are very knowledgeable, kind, and caring. I cannot express in words how much I appreciate Dr. Awadalla. Dr. Awadalla provides excellent care. He listens to his patients concerns, he offers very thoughtful advice, and genuinely cares about his patients. Thank you so much.

IRH is an absolutely amazing place! Infertility is such a tough road block for so many couples. The staff at IRH is truly behind you every step of the way! I highly recommend!

Wonderful experience start to finish with this practice. They are truly up-to-date on science and research for IVF and even acknowledged how traumatizing the process of infertility can be! I’m so happy I found this place after a horrible experience with a clinic in Louisville. I’m due with our baby boy in March of 2021.

My wife and I went to the institute for reproductive health to complete our family. The staff were kind and considerate. Dr. Scheiber and Dr. Burwinkel both have an amazing bedside manner. I would highly recommend the practice to LGBT couples 🏳️‍🌈. Our daughter is now 9 months old.

They are the best! Dr. Awadalla was great to work with; I hated to leave and move on to my regular OBGYN. He even called after my twins were born to say congratulations. I will always be thankful to everyone here for helping us start our family.

My wife and me made an appointment here for a second opinion. We left here feeling so confident after meeting with Dr. Awadalla . He was so personable took the time to go over all options. We absolutely will be back and appreciate the time he took to explain everything.

Would recommend IRH to anyone having fertility issues. We saw Dr Awadalla mainly but did meet with all doctors over our time there - they are all very knowledgeable, kind, and wonderful! So thankful for our 2 babies

We wouldn’t have our 3 children without IRH. I highly recommend them to anyone who may be considering seeking a fertility specialist. There was a minimal wait once arriving at the office for each appointment and all of the staff was kind and empathetic.

Love all the doctors here. Ive seen them all at one point or another. They have given me my whole world (my first born after 6 years of trying), and are making my world expand with a second (due March 2021). Love the new Louisville satellite office. It is extremely convenient. Highly recommend!

I am a patient here. Dr. Scheiber is great, but the rest of the interactions Ive had here with all of the staff have led to more stress on an already stressful process. Each nurse and receptionist acts like I am inconveniencing them when I call, if I can get through at all. Routine requests by my doctor from outside of the office are treated like Im asking them to move mountains

Dr Awadalla, nurses, and staff are all wonderful! My husband and tried to conceive for 5 years through different Drs in Lexington. We were referred to Dr Awadalla, by a friend of ours, and was able to conceive three beautiful boys because of him.

I highly recommend to everyone. Dr. A and Dr. Burwinkle helped us conceive our baby boy due in July 2021. We cannot thank these doctors enough for making our dreams come true of becoming parents.

Absolutely can not say enough good things about IRH. So happy that they opened a location so close to us! Thankful to all their staff for our miracle boy and can’t wait for another great experience!

The staff was very helpful and friendly. They explained all processes thoroughly. They ensured that everything was done professionally and courteously. Our process resulted in a successful pregnancy!

Fought infertility for 7 years. Attempted IUI but couldn’t go through, had to do IVF.This office is absolutely amazing and blessed me with my amazing son 💙

I have never felt so heard and taken care of! After seeing several obgyns through the years and never receiving any answers.. this team finally has helped me! I feel so excited for the future!

The most experienced and caring medical team around! Always available and happy to answer questions, have great success rates, and provide more affordable payment options for those who do not have insurance coverage.

Thank you IRH for never giving up on me and giving my miracle baby. All the doctors and nurses will always have a special place in my heart.

The best physicians and staff anywhere! They truly are miracle workers and I am forever grateful for their help in making our dreams of a family come true.
