This place is fraudulent. They charged be $7,000 1 year after my treatment and keep sending me bills. Please be aware this place has went down in service ever since some of there previous doctors left. Please don’t waist your time.They won’t even answer or return your calls also and before you know it you will have a failed treatment. They will reply back to your email they are out of the office and never help you. Please stay away and don’t waist your time.

I have never had a positive experience with the receptionists here. The doctors and medical staff are wonderful, but when scheduling an appointment or handling any other administrative task I am always met with a combative and condescending conversation.

I have been trying to work with CFA to assess egg freezing, and so far they have managed to:1, bungle my insurance (leading to several hundred dollars of costs I am covered for) for routine bloodwork2, make me wait for over an hour on each appointment I had, while never even acknowledging that I was in the waiting room, standing at their desk, despite walking up and standing in front of them for 10+ minutes3, today, I received a message in their new portal from another patient, that was clearly intended for the doctor, which just screams HIPAA violation, on top of egregiously terrible administrative management. When I pointed it out, the front desk woman on the phone brushed me off and said the equivalent of, oopsie, sorrry. No customer service, no hey let me investigate this to ensure your private data is safe, nothing.Its quite a shame, as Dr. Sacks was wonderful when I met with him, but I dont think I can move forward with treatment at a place that is so painfully badly managed.

Coming to this office has been a horrible experience for me. When coming to a specialty office, or any office I expect high quality patient care. That simply does not exist here. Multiple times I have had to walk to the practice because no one answered or returned my phone calls. The admin team is not welcoming at all. They dont even acknowledge you when you enter the office. Management is by far the worst. Ive overheard people on the other end of the phone saying things such as that girl dont listen. The office manager even intentionally hung up on me over a billing disagreement. Ive addressed my issues with the doctors at this practice and there was never any resolution. Insurance and billing was a major hassle. Multiple times I had to provide details about my insurance and follow up on my claims. I would not recommend anyone to the practice because I didnt not feel like I was valued and honestly, they do not show any sence of care here. The only positive experience I had was with with Brandy, who assisted me with a procedure. This was the first time I noticed someone who smiled in this office. She was very caring and I truly appreciated working with her even though it was only one procedure. The lady who draws blood was also pleasant as well. She is very polite and you can see she loves what she does.Overall, it was a nightmare being a patient at this practice. It is conveniently located near my job which is why I chose to come here. I am now seeking treatment somewhere else.

Never in my life have I ever felt like a number the way that Columbia fertility clinic has treated me I began my official first cycle of I UI February 2024 of course that was a discrepancy due to the fact that prior none of Dr. Sacs Nursing team or administrative team reached out to me to do a follow-up appointment from my previous blood work that was examined And so I had to start my treatment on day 6 instead of day 5 The first IUI cycle failed and of course I asked Doctor Sacs what happened and he could not explain Now mind you I just did an HSG exam with him January 2024 he asked me about my right ovary but insisted that it should be nothing that will harm me getting pregnant He then assisted with my second I UI cycle suggesting that in my exam for my blood work and sonogram that I may have a little of endometriosis But never stated to go and find a second opinion But encouraged to still do the procedure because once again he said it should not prevent me from getting pregnant now mind you I have had 2 IUI cycles that have failed back-to-back And so I went to get a second opinion come to find out I had a cysts on each of my ovaries. Yet Columbia fertility wants to go behind a past application to make me pay for genetic testing that was never discussed about treatment nor my results and would still not discuss with me What is causing my infertility issues. Now mind you the week prior after the I UI injection my body is always fine according to my blood work however somewhere between day 9 today 14 of the cycle things start to take a turn and every time I reach out to speak to my Doctor who happens to be Dr. Sacs He is nowhere to be found or hes always in a meeting its always some excuse that either the front desk or his nursing team or the administrative staff has to cover for him. I encourage you to please take precautions if you decide to choose this fertility clinic because you can go miss diagnosed and have to So much emotional damage trying to conceive with this clinic only for them to take your money for fast rendered services. I know someone personally who also went to them first and they told her her tubes were blocked she went to go get a second opinion from another fertility clinic and now she has conceived threw another fertility clinic because she found out that her progesterone levels were low So I advise to any of you ladies please thoroughly do your research because Columbia fertility clinic is not it and I get that every clinic has is ups and Downs when it comes to the customer service however they lack in being redeptive of the clients needs and request and its really not enough Doctors there to care for their patients. Now I understand why he has so many frustrated customers he doesnt spend enough time to go through the process with them and help them understand what their problems are that causes infertility hes always given this optimistic view Where he wraps you up through multiple cycles whether its I UI or IVF And once you pay your money you dont see him again unless it is a rendered service so forget having a 1 on 1 consultation

This office is not it AT ALL, waiting 40-45 mins is nothing. Like you have nothing else to do, they don’t acknowledge you at all. I had to threaten to leave for the front office to check if they will be seeing me. I just left, not worth it. I’ll find another office.

All the negative reviews are accurate. I feel like I wasted so much time and money at this place with no results. They would often bill incorrectly asking me to pay for what my insurance clearly covered. They were never clear on instructions for different stages of the fertility treatments. No matter how many failed trials, I never felt like the doctor cared to find out why. It just felt like a factory and you were just another money making machine for them. I drove an hour to this place over 20 times! Its just so frustrating, I wished my body worked the way it is supposed to so I never had to deal with these people. I wish I could get all the time and money I spent back. Another year later and still no baby. Save yourself the stress and dont come here!

They charged $4,000 just for the thawing of our one frozen embryo. Avoid here.One of Dr. Sacks nurses, Iman, was communicatvie and empathetic. But the other nurse of his was awful and dismissive when we had a question. The office staff treats you badly as others described.

I had such a bitter experience here. The doctor who was the reason for my using this practice unfortunately retired and I got assigned another and that’s when the nightmare began. Every interaction with them was terrible - missed dates, delayed prescriptions and shipments, forgetting to inform me of what to do during my egg retrieval cycle, no empathy, waiting an hour+ at a time to be seen, being forgotten in an examination room one time and left on the table until I eventually walked into the hallway to see if anyone was around, very unpleasant nurses at the reception, no one answering calls, doctor not being willing to even discuss results or take the time to explain what is going on in your body. On top of everything, they billed me incorrectly for fees that my insurance had already covered, and 4 months on I don’t have a refund. The worst part is when the doctor asked me if I would ‘go off the deep end’ if I paused on my antidepressants. This was so far below the standard of care, the whole experience was appalling. I would never recommend and I hope I can transfer my eggs to another provider who cares about their patients.

I wish I could give a big fat ZERO to CFA. I came in as a surrogate for transfer, had to travel from out of state and was appalled at how bad both the nurses/doctors bedside manners were for such a delicate situation. My Intended Parents were not allowed to go with me, my husband wasnt allowed in with me, I couldnt bring a phone to document anything for them, and they gave attitude when I asked questions since this was my first time doing IVF. After transfer and confirmation of pregnancy, I had to follow up multiple times to get answers regarding acceptable cold/allergy medicine, fertility medicine adjustments, and we spent 3 MONTHS trying to get my medical records transferred to my OBs office. Each time we were told they were sent over and Id be following up after my next appt when I was told my OB didnt have them yet. What a nightmare, STAY AWAY.

Check Yelp review first. I thought about given up on my fertility treatment because of this place. I hate that I wasted so much time to do an egg extraction and storage for reciprocal IVF. I suggest soon as you see the red flags, take it as a sign. It has been a nightmare since I started with them. Always an issue with the appointments, walk-ins for blooddraw/labs, receptionists, and billing. I found myself crying or distraught after encounters with them.I call them on multiple occasions but rarely get someone to pick up the phone from the appt line. I would have to ask for an operator and cross my fingers. For me, They caused more trouble than they actually helped. And all you will get is a bunch of Im sorrysThey always have an excuse for why they mess up so much and none of it ever helped my situationOne time, I found myself waiting in the seating area for over an hour to get a blooddraw. No one ever came to get me nor did I get any updates until I finally went to Althea and asked to be checked out.The most recent issue is when they changed me to an earlier appointment from Sept 11th to the 7th. I was in good spirits thinking my luck had changed, until I received a call today to say it was a technical error and the date is double booked. Not only could I not get the 7th but I lost the appointment for the 11th. And Dr. Sacks will not be available for awhile.I cried for a bit and now I am searching for a clinic who cares about the patient.

It was the best experience during this pandemic that Ive had experience in a long time. I thank the entire staff that I encountered today they all are helpful, kind and I appreciate them and how they handle us today. Dr. Sack was just awesome, also LaShawn for providing us with needed information and for both her and Dr. Sacks making a exception for us today, we truly appreciate this experience, also thanks to the young lady that had done my blood work her energy was great

What can I say. I recently moved to the DMV area and did my research for a fertility clinic. The Columbia Fertility Clinic seemed to fit our needs. The reviews were encouraging, but my 1st consultation with Dr. Sacks was more than I imagined. He was thorough and extremely detailed. I felt like he tailored our consultation and advised me based on our personal life situation and our dynamics.I was so comfortable with our discussion. I am extremely happy with our decision to be a part of the Columbia Fertility Clinic family and look forward to working with Dr. Sacks on our journey.

This place went down terribly. It used to be in and out, very precise. I come at 7.30am because I work at 8.30. First they called the person that came after me, send me to the room and waited 45 min to be seen and still need to wait for Drs order and to go get my blood on the first floor. When Dr Buttler was here I came in, registered, a sonogram and blood all within 30 mins. No wasting time. This is too much. It’s the third visit and I keep postponing because of how long they take.I had my first visit and Dr Butler was so amazing, explained us in detail what we needed to know with drawings and everything. Super detailed and professional. I loved my experience!

I am surprised to see so many negative reviews because my experience has been truly outstanding! After not receiving the “warm and fuzzy” by Shady Grove Fertility due to age (43), I researched and found CFA. I called and immediately asked for the best doctor and was paired with Dr. Sacks. Upon my initial consult, I received the empathy, concern, and the affirmation that I needed. I understood the “statistics” but he never made me feel like a lost cause. He has a bedside manner, extremely welcoming, honest and professional. He assessed my history and records and started me on a low dose egg priming protocol which resulted in a follicle growth and egg retrieval. I have felt comfortable and peace with his medical care and his team the entire time. They have been consistent and responsive. Now I am eagerly waiting to hear the results of fertilization and when I can transfer. Also, I have had consistent correspondence from nurses and the billing department has been fabulous. No errors, no oversights. I do believe at one point they were in a bit of flux and transitioning front desk operations for a bit in the months preceding my medical care; which may be reasons for bad reviews. Also this is such a delicate and sensitive issue, time is of essence, and it can be stressful. Perhaps some people’s level of patience and tolerance may not be there. However, my experience has been great. More to come!

Upon my entrance into the facility the triage staff was very friendly! And my wait was not long at all before I seen Dr. Sacks. I was referred to Dr. Sacks by one of the best OBGYN Physicians I know, Dr. Blank of Capital Women’s Care. Although this was just my first visit, it is clear that Dr. Sacks is very skilled and wants the best for his patients. He provided his step by step detailed plans of what avenue he plans to take with me based on my unique situation, he showed physical examples of what my processes/procedures would look like, and provided approximate time frames. So far he’s everything Dr. Blank said he would be!

I had wasted several thousand dollars with this place before I decided to switch providers. Everyone from the reception to the doctor acts like they’d rather be doing something else. My appointments never began on time and they never answered the phone when I called for test results. It was a hassle to even get my medical records sent to my new doctor.

My husband and I came to Dr. Sacks for an initial conversation as we have been trying to conceive for some time, and I happen to have some issues. He was incredibly kind, caring, knowledgeable, and patient. My husband and I both agreed that if we go the fertility route, we would feel very confident about being the patients of Dr. Sacks. He is EXACTLY what one wants in a doctor, especially a doctor dealing with infertility.

Review №26

We saw a few different fertility doctors before a friend referred us to Dr. Sacks at Columbia Fertility. I knew when we started this process we needed someone who was patient, and understanding and I felt like I could trust. We knew after the first visit Dr. Sacks was the doctor for us. Hes kind and optimistic while also being realistic and clear. He let us talk through options, and I never felt like I was being pushed to do something I was uncomfortable with (which is one of the reasons we left our previous clinic). All protocols and meds were explained clearly, and there was always a nurse to answer questions when they came up. I always felt like they truly wanted the best for us - They were disappointed with us when things didnt go well, and celebrated with us when they did. I wish this wasnt the path we had to go down to start our family, but I am so grateful we were in good hands along the way.

This review is long overdue. Ive been seeing Dr Sacks for a few years now and I cant say enough good things about hi.. I was referred to him for reproductive endocrinology by my OBGYN. He is by far one my absolute favorite doctors Ive had in the course of my life. He actually listens to how I am feeling rather than push or refuse medications or treatments. Hes always willing to see me and I usually get in within a day or two. He has an incredible bedside manner and is a fantastic human being to boot. He has been the ONLY doctor to listen and solve some of the issues I was having when others brushed me off. Absolutely LOVE him. He really knows his field and is willing to try most things to get you to feel better. Wouldnt go anywhere else. Im not sure what I will do if my wife and I move out of the area because he has been incredible in every way. While Im not seeing him specifically to get pregnant but rather for endocrinology, I cant imagine my wife and I going anywhere else if we ever wanted to have a baby.

I scheduled a follow up virtual appointment a month out with Dr. Abbasi only for the doctor to arrive 10 minutes late and inform me that they did not in fact have my lab results despite me having given them my specialists contact information weeks in advance. The entire purpose of the appointment was to discuss these results. No apology for wasting a patients time, just you need to reschedule.Alas we rescheduled for a week out only for the doctor to arrive late again (only 5 minutes this time yay!) and give me results that could have been delivered via phone.I was left with the very strong impression that this office has no respect for their patients time and absolutely zero bedside manner in addition to awful communication. I would give 0 stars if I could.

Best doctor, ever. Not only does he take care of your body, but he understands that your body is affected by your emotional and mental state. Very few doctors take this extra important step. I also call him for references to other doctors in other fields, so I make sure i am going to the best in that field, and he has, time after time, referred the perfect doctor. Speaking of that, can you ask Dr. Rifka to refer a neurologist for me? Thank you so so much!

My OBGYN of 9 years at this location retired. As requested by them I make a new appointment with another doctor. When I arrive there, they tell me the other doctor also left the group and they left a voice message. Clearly a lie as I don’t have voice message set up, nor do I have any missed calls. Then they proceed to tell me to find a new Dr. / facility. I’m beyond upset.

Dr Sacks is amazing. I have a very difficult case and went to a few different clinics as well as meeting with several Drs and he was one of the few that truly cared to listen and help. He has great bedside manners and is patient and kind. The reason I am giving this clinic 2 stars however is due to their awful and unfriendly billing department in addition to their non existent customer service. I had a procedure there as they are an in-network clinic with my insurance, but they used an anesthesiologist who was out of network without my knowledge. I received a bill from the anesthesiologist, so I called my insurance company and they informed me that it is the responsibility of the clinic to check in and out of network providers prior to procedures. I called Columbias billing department to explain this to them and of course they didnt help with anything and said it was not their responsibility. I am now stuck with paying 100% out of pocket for the anesthesiology bill since the anesthesiologist was out of network. I recommend double checking to make sure EVERYONE at their clinic is in network with your plan.

Review №39

I would really caution against this practice and recommend those considering making an appointment look at Yelp rather than Google reviews (maybe this says something about Google reviews being biased? The practice sends you a form asking for public feedback after your visit. They ask if it is positive or negative: if negative, you are rerouted to a private feedback form. If positive, you post publicly!).Yelp reviews are much more in line with my experience there, particularly with admin staff. In short, they are rude and disorganized. Its been hell on earth receiving my test results: no one would call me with them and when I would call to receive them/a copy they would angrily tell me there is nothing in the system and they have no way of even checking what was sent out to the lab. When I realized some of them were missing they told me I was supposed to come back on another day for that particular test (how could I know? no one had told me to when I was in the practice and I wouldnt have known had I not insisted upon it...). They cant even tell you how to check results. One nurse said she did not know. Another eventually said I should create an account with a particular lab. Really? How is this not more streamlined...? I did create said account, and never received results on there either. Never had a pleasant call: I always am made to feel like I am disturbing them and/or am being unreasonable for wanting a copy of results.Still only have about 30% of my labs. I hope they dont mess up my billing. The two stars are for Dr. Sacks, who seemed like a decent doctor. But Im not sure this is worth the trouble: I cant imagine what this must be like if youre in it for some serious and complicated procedures (which some of the Yelp reviews describe) that require timely information.

Dr. Butler is very nice. But I have had some communication issues with staff working there throughout. You can barely reach out to them by phone and email even if we are dealing with very time sensitive matter. I several times left messages to call me back, but I have never received any call back.

Just so no one has my experience take note ONLY THE DC OFFICE IS OPEN. THE N. VA AND BETHESDA OFFICES ARE CLOSED AND THERE IS NO INFORMATION ONLINE ABOUT IT.

He was very knowledgeable and thorough with his explanations and my questions. Very nice bedside manner and would highly recommend. His staff is not as great though. After our initial consultation with the doctor, I waited an additional 20 mins to see the “financial consultant” and when we finally met, she was completely unprepared. She didn’t know if my insurance paid for any of it. I thought that was what was taking so long and the whole point of meeting with her, but she just gave me pay out of pocket prices. Something that a list could do. Also his staff in general were very dismissive and had to go up multiple times for different things and they seemed confused the majority of the time.

Signey Olson is the only reason Im giving it 2 stars. She is amazing.The staff is not. The lack of communication, miscommunication, or over poor office management has made our process such a headache. We finally received a callback after 5 weeks because I sent multiple emails about a possibly deadly diagnosis we received at another location. The team here will put you on hold for long periods of time, yet answered when I called from a second phone number while the first was still on hold. They lack care and concern, even in critical times. And the billing department is outrageous. Dont waste your time here.

Dr. Abbasi is a straight shooter and extremely patient and thorough to answer all your questions. She has a dry, no-nonsense nature about her while still maintaining a sense of warmth and compassion that is a necessity in her field. We came to her after visiting a much larger, better-marketed outfit. I didn’t want to be sold a program; I wanted all the facts and an experienced professional to help us weigh plans and come to decisions for our unique circumstance. And that is exactly what we got from Dr. A. I would recommend her without hesitation. She also has an extremely kind and professional staff.

Review №54

If you like to avoid extreme frustration then don’t go to this doctor’s office. The 4.8 overall rating of this operations makes no sense and somehow the reviews appear to be manipulated. I tried for over 3 months to make it work as I was really in need of a second opinion for my diagnosis. Every time I wanted to make an appointment, I had to try calling at least 5 time. When I finally made appt, talked to doctor and got tested, no one ever followed up to tell me the next steps even though the doctor had said a nurse will follow up. Dr Sacks seems nice but not sure how that can be useful when you never receive actual treatment.It’s very likely that you call them during their business hours and the automated message says the office is closed or that no one would answer the phone. Not sure how anyone could receive treatment at this place...

My experience at Columbia Fertility far exceeded my expectations. To say that Dr Sacks and the nurse manager Sarah C. were wonderful would be a gross understatement. They as well as all of their office staff were welcoming, approachable, and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with the egg freezing process. From our first visit with Dr Sacks we knew that CF was where we wanted to receive treatment. They did everything possible to address my concerns, answer my questions, accommodate my work schedule/vacation/ upcoming deployment, and work with my insruance. From late night email exchanges and weekend texting to spending hours on the phone with my insurance Ive never had such attentive medical care. It couldnt have been a better experience. I feel so blessed to have met them and I look forward to working with them in the future.

We have been going to Dr. Sacks for the past two years and are over the moon with the arrival of our daughter ten months ago. I do not believe in miracles, but if there were such a thing, Dr. Sacks is certainly one who does them. Our baby girl is perfect. Dr. Sacks has been there for me through the IUI and the IVF process and through the first 12 weeks f my pregnancy. It was not an easy road, but we made it happen and thanks to Dr. Sacks and his team at Columbia Fertility we are parents and loving every bit of it. Thank you Dr. Sacks.

I am so pleased with Dr. Maurice Butler because he really does care for the patient in his care. I am so fortunate to have such a wonderful doctor who understands what we are going through in our quest to have a child. His expertise really does mean a lot. As his patient for so many years, I am grateful that he is always there for us.

Very friendly, very professional. I came to this group looking for assistance and advice for egg freezing. I did not feel as though they were pushing me to freeze my eggs so they could make money. Instead, they laid out the options for me, gave me information on my latest AMH readings and suggested further testing to help me make my decisions. Would recommend. I have been working with Dr. Preston Sacks, who is a lovely individual.

That place is my paradise. Dr Butler helped me to smile. I started my journey with him in 2016 and in 2018 i gave birth to my lovely baby boy Angel. I dont remember who referred me over there. But i remembered that when i met him he received me with a smiling face and i knew i will gain my deep gift from there. He does not fake. He will tell tell you how much is your chance and will try all the best to encourage. He answers all the questions. I pray for for all couples going through that journey to be faithful. I wish you all the best.

Review №73

It’s difficult posting a public review about such a sensitive topic but I feel it’s important people know what they’re getting into before they choose this clinic. I have no other clinics to compare this to, so my experience may just be the industry standard. Treat you like cattle and then push you out the door. I’ll start with the positives, most of the nurses here are wonderful, caring and put up with a lot form hormonal and emotional people while they undertake fertility procedures. My Dr Sarhan was good, but when she went on leave I was placed with another doctor for the remainder of my treatment, including the frozen transfer. Only once in 6 months (two egg retrieval cycles and 1 transfer) did I ever sit down with a doctor. Information was passed to me not through a portal but either via phone calls or random emails. I received 2 calendars via email but no calendar for my first cycle, making injecting loads of hormones into me very confusing and overwhelming. The bedside manner of the doctor and the main nurse I worked with was awful. Didn’t bother to explain most of the procedures to me, I had to call 4 times to get them to explain the frozen transfer the day of. Due to covid, the doctor refused to see me for my last appointment when I was eight weeks pregnant because, she had no other patients that day so wasn’t coming in.I was fortunate to have very good insurance that paid for most of my procedures. The day of my second egg retrieval, the financial counselor called me and said they hadn’t received the authorization and without it I couldn’t go ahead. They were rude and insolent. They had received it weeks before and only had to ask the doctor.This business is run at its bare bones, the staff probably over worked and not given any training to deal with people. This process is physical and emotional and the tone by all in the clinic must be improved. Emails are rude if you ever get one and doctors can’t be contacted, as I said... no portal. Is it that they can’t afford the portal? At $50K a pop, with countless patients, I think that is plain greed and laziness.Ask yourself, do you want to find out if your little baby is a boy or girl via an email from a rude nurse saying ‘your one normal embryo was a male gender’? I doubt anyone wants to be reminded of their failures hearing the best news of their life.Lift your game Columbia. I wish I had gone anywhere else and will never be back. Do not recommend.

Review №76

Admin staff and nurses are terrible. My wife and I spent hours and hours over the course of our treatments either waiting for our appointments (30+ min late every single time) or calling them repeatedly to get them to do the things they said they would do (e.g. call in prescriptions to our pharmacy.) Staff repeatedly were not in during their office hours and their off hours answering service was completely useless.The problem is, Shady Grove is just as bad or worse.Frankly I dont know how people with full time jobs are supposed to undergo fertility treatment. These services are so hopelessly inefficient despite costing $20k+. Fertility treatment should be so commonplace at this point that these services run as efficiently as Lasik providers, but for some reason they dont.

Review №86

After 5 years of the most unpleasant experience (at Shady Grove) that ended with a miscarriage, I was referred to Dr. Butler at Columbia Fertility. What a difference!! They treated me like an individual and handled my case specifically to my needs. This process is not easy for anyone, but Dr. Butler and his team made my process as easy and as stress free as possible. Today I am 9 weeks pregnant and heard my babies strong heart beat for the first time!! I cried for two reasons, 1) because it was the most beautiful sound Ive ever heard, and 2) because oddly enough, I was really going to miss Dr. Butler and the staff at Columbia! As I hugged everyone on my way out the office from what was my last visit, I was so grateful for the knowledge, kindness and attention I was given to me throughout my process. I would refer anyone to this office! They are truly the best in this region.

If I could give them one star I would. First Victoria over charged me $1000 without my authorization after I authorize her to charge $550 for my remaining balance. Apparently she’s not good at math. Then front desk staffs are rude and stupid. They shouldn’t be working there. Lastly, my IVF treatment request was approved by my insurance but I was not notified that and was keep doing IUI to waste my time and money. When I called my insurance about new treatment record I learned about my approved IVF treatment and it was already expired. I’m very disappointed as I was really expecting to have a baby sooner.

Review №94

The doctors seem very smart and skilled in their field. Unfortunately, they need to invest more in the operations and overall quality of their practice.Perhaps covid led to some gaps in oversight, but my first cycle was canceled due to getting the dates wrong for my cycle. The admin/finance aspects of my experience were really disorganized. Various emails/questions to nurses went unanswered. I received emails/calls from their staff that were meant for other patients (including the update of my protocol to trigger)! Might be some issues with HIPAA here?And, for the cost of the services they provide, you would think they could invest in a solid online portal? I switched clinics and the difference in organization and response was incredible. Every question/email I sent via their portal went answered. They never messed up knowing who I was. I received schedules for my protocol, so the dates were clear to everyone.I think you can get good medical care at CFA, but given the stress and confusion that comes with IVF, Id recommend finding a clinic that is better equipped to manage the process.

Dr. Abbasi was really knowledgeable and the only fertility doctor that found out my body rejected boys and knew how to treat this condition. I was with Shady Grove Fertility for almost 4 years and never had a successful pregnancy or checked to see what the problem was. She may come of serious and stern, but thats because she has compassion for what she does and wants couples to be able to enjoy their bundles of joy. I was able to have twins (boy and girl) because of her dedication. Thank you so much!

I cant say enough good things about our experience with Columbia Fertility. Dr. Abassi and Holli were so wonderful to work with. They helped my husband and I get pregnant using donor embryos and a gestational carrier on the first try! I had so many questions and fears about IVF and this whole process and they were there at every turn with sound advice and calm patience. They truly are such a wonderful team. Holli goes out of her way to be helpful and to timely respond to emails and calls. Dr. Abassi makes herself available as well and is so knowledgeable about everything but still manages to explain it all in a way that non-doctors can easily understand. I highly recommend this practice and their donor embryo program.

The worst experience I have ever had with a medical practice. I should have read all of these negative reviews before I became a patient. The reviews are spot on - the financial department has been over-charging me for ten months. Marie Nurse and KimmyAnne Thong are so incapable and incompetent and have no idea how to manage the financials of this practice. When I discovered the mistakes and pointed it out to Marie and KimmyAnne they stopped responding to emails and wouldnt address my concerns. I even emailed all of the doctors letting them know that I was owed hundreds of dollars and they completely ignore my requests for repayment and dont respond to email. Save yourself the stress and find another practice. This place is a disaster!!

Not all doctors do that.

My wife and I are seeing Dr. Rifka for fertility treatment. We find him to be an excellent doctor, however, weve now had to abandon two planned IUI treatment attempts because we were either given incorrect or incomplete information around the steps and procedures leading up to the IUI at a point where it was too late to take further action to save the chance of moving forward that cycle. We are at the whim of the practice to tell us what we should be doing and theyre failing us.

We give Dr. Abassi and her team at the Bethesda Office of Columbia Fertility our highest recommendation without reservation to anyone who is unable to achieve a desired pregnancy.My wife is currently 22 weeks pregnant with twins and we credit this to the clinical skills and professionalism of Rafat Abassi, MD.Prior to seeing Dr. Abassi, we were patients at three other local fertility clinics attempting to get pregnant with a donor egg. At each of these clinics we wasted precious time and money and were unable to achieve our intended results.As an experienced physician I feel that I am in a good position to evaluate other physicians.I can report that Dr. Abassi welcomed our input, made high quality recommendations, and through her expertise and skill was able to achieve the intended result.We still have 6 quality frozen embryos, and hope to repeat the process again in a year with Dr. Abassi.
