Reviews

"Dr. Osheroff and the staff are very compassionate and knowledgeable. He knows his stuff and doesn't try to push you. He is EXTREMELY thorough and in the end saved me from more heartbreak. He answered every question and always gave us all the information we needed; he was honest and I respected that. Dr. Osheroff had a great game plan and it worked! Our son was born on our first IVF cycle-a 5 day fresh transfer. He gives you his all and his staff are great. Nurse Kim Blackwell worked great with him and us. I am forever grateful to them for the best gift ever-my son!!!"
