We had a great experience working with Dr. Barbieri and the entire staff. Appointments were always punctual, phone calls and questions always answered, and in general a pleasure. Thanks ORM.

Deciding to work with ORM for our fertility needs ...

Deciding to work with ORM for our fertility needs was one of the best decisions we have ever made. From the experience with our doctors, to the reception staff and most importantly our nursing team that was there to ease our stress, answer our questions and truly be an ear to listen when we simply didn't know who to go to. Dr. Bankowski was kind, to the point and never made us feel lost in such a complex system. I tell friends who are thinking of going down the road to fertility that there's nothing more important than comfort in knowing you're working with a team of amazing professionals all working for the same goal WITH you. They truly have made the process streamlined and with the patient and their family first in mind. I thought going to a specialty pharmacy was silly, until I experienced what a world class experience feels like ... and truly what all pharmacy should feel like. Their partnership with New Era was an entirely different layer of ease that I couldn't even begin to imagine would be so important during this process. We are currently nearing the end of our first trimester, and we are proud to say we are healthy and pregnant with twins. We know this wouldn't be possible without the amazing team put together by Oregon Reproductive Medicine and I would highly recommend them to any family looking to grow. We were beyond blessed with our experience and I am proud and happy to share our story. THANK YOU ORM, Dr. Bankowski, Katie, Taylor, Darcy and Kat in the lab for always being kind and for helping be a part of our family story. We couldn't ask for a better extension to our family than the entire ORM team.

ORM fertility does not give donors an honest impre...

ORM fertility does not give donors an honest impression of the egg donation process. Only after the donors fill out applications, get accepted, and meet the family to which they are donating does ORM go over the risks of the procedure in detail. Therefore it is only after the donors are emotionally and financially invested in the process do they hear about the harm it could have to their body. The staff and doctors at ORM failed to adequately inform my partner of how should would feel after the retrieval. They said that most women return to work 24 hours after and did not mention that my partner would need another person around to care for her until those 24 hours were up. For the first 3 days after the retrieval, she was In a tremendous amount of pain, could not walk without help, and struggled to breath. I had to take off work to care for her. Eventually she needed fluid drained from the area around the ovary. The doctor made her feel bad for being nervous about the procedure and said that it was no different than having blood drawn. The doctor compared having a needle go through your vaginal wall to take out a liter of fluid to the experience of having blood drawn. All in all, it was miserable experience. Donors should be payed much more and given actual informed consent prior to the beginning of the process

My experience with this company maybe unique but still worth sharing. I'm an immigrant myself so they immediately assigned a Chinese speaker as my coordinator. But the lady is neither responsible for my questions nor is she helping on any level.

Firstly, after initial consultation with Dr. Hesler, I was very impressed. However, after I only sent this 'Chinese speaking' coordinator two questions about the financing and she just ghosted me. This immediately raised a redflag at the cost estimation stage.

Secondly, guess what, after ghosting me for three weeks, she suddenly dropped two emails asking if I had finished any pre-cycle testing?? I felt very surprised. Because she never sent me any testing forms, nor did she notified me anything. I later found the form sitting in my port myself with many confusions just looking at this long form. This lady just do the minimum 'coordination' work which she was supposed to help much better as they stated.

In addition, what kind of company would assume I already work on the process while I'm ghosted at the very early stage? This kind of service experience is very unpleasant.

Although I didn't choose them mostly due to cost, but even if I chose them, I would request to change my coordinator. I would give 1 star if it weren't for Dr. Hesler's good talk at the consultation.

And what's so funny is, the only times this lady contacted me, she spelt my name wrong, in TWO different ways! And this is so called the 'Chinese speaker' coordinator. This at least reflects how careless they are about you if not to the ignorant and disrespectful level.

Wouldn t recommend orm to anyone! Had a very horrible experience here! Seemed like no one cares! Very cold feeling. Felt like just a number. Left with a really bad feeling on the whole deal. One of the worst experience I have ever been through. Good luck if you head to ORM.

Working with Oregon Reproductive Medicine has been a smooth and flawless experience. From the time I was matched (which in and of itself was so fast!) to the recent completion of my first donor cycle, the staff as a whole at ORM are wonderful people to work with! It makes me so happy to know I am helping a family and that this family also has the great people of ORM helping making their family dreams become a reality. I will absolutely recommend their services to those who are seeking either to be a donor or to future parents looking for a little extra help in making their family complete.

We had many doubts when going here the first time. Not because anything they had done but because of our experience with a infertility doctor in Texas. But hey we re all incredible here. The front desk people were all kind and friendly, could give us the information we needed. We had someone there every step of the way for us. We had doctor Adams who is incredibly friendly and made me feel comfortable and safe through the entire process. She was able to encourage us to be positive and keep trying. Our coordinators name was Taylor who is also amazing and was able to answer any questions we ask and was extremely helpful in everything we needed from peace of mind to notes for work. I would recommend this ORM to anyone that asked. They are all great people and helped me begin my family!

As an egg donor at ORM I finally wanted to write a real review on my experience and for anyone considering using an egg donor or becoming one. I haven t donated in a few months so I wanted to write this with clarity and not pumped full of hormones. This company probably tells the intended parents how well their donors are treated but it s lies.
I feel unvalued and unappreciated by everyone at ORM and potential parents. I understand years of pain of trying to conceive and then instead of adopting or fostering children, some families want their own birth and genetic choosing.
I don t think anyone at ORM cares one bit about the egg donors who are making this process happen or the mental and physical pain they cause. Sure the money is nice but how about a little thank you or appreciation to the donors? ORM gives you a small gift card when you sign up, but when it s the holidays or after a donation they treat you like they took your eggs and shove you out the door like a walk of shame. The doctors are extremely rude to the donors and uncaring with zero bedside manner. They try to pretend this is easy and not a big deal and treat it as if this is nothing at all...they don t honor or celebrate how big of a step this is in your own life to be able to do. Do you not think donors think of their babies out there or want to be appreciated for being able to go through this process with someone?
No matter your income or your background, you have to miss school, work, time and energy, schedule your life around your appointments and injections and medications and the surgery day that is never quite definitive. Tell that to your employer and college tuition and schedule. Or if you have a family of your own. Or the days missed from discomfort, pain, nauseous feelings, extremely hard to drive with 10cm ovaries on the last few days of your appointments. I understand as a donor it s your choice to do this but I m asking for sensitivity on this. A gas card. Maybe lunch here or there. Or checking in to see how you are feeling even. If you are late at all they call email and harass you. Nikki is extremely rude and uncaring. She s very nice when she wants the donors in to collect on their data base to run their entire business, but when you are in the process, no one cares. No one tells you how you can develop cysts and health issues for the rest of your life like me.
Injections and medications make you feel depressed, bloated, in pain, sick, uncomfortable feeling like any sudden movement you could rupture your ovary and have permanent damage. You feel happy at first you are giving your genetics your life to create life, you wonder about the family and who will raise this child who has half of your personality and looks exactly like you. You wonder and you wish that someone at ORM or the potential parent of this child could reach out and say thank you. They treat you like it isn t a big deal. I feel like articles on the internet don t do it justice. But just think about these facts. Do you think the 8000.00 usd first time donors get and the maximum 10000 dollars donors gets takes away the feelings, pain, discomfort, possible job loss, stress, worry, relationship issues or anything else? All I m asking as a donor is that you care. We aren t animals!! Offer support groups. Offer therapy for free. Offer a way to support your egg donor community better. Plan holiday parties or appreciation get togethers. Maybe a thank you card at the end. Maybe a thank you for making this entire operation possible and staying healthy and doing everything you can to inject yourself, take medications, try to ensure you don t get OHSS which I got even thought they claim it won t happen and it s extremely scary and painful and the 3 Vicodin at the end of the surgery that barely covers the amount of pain you endure, or the uncontrollable sobbing your relationships have to deal with. Its depressing on the hormones and injections and it takes an entire month for them to drain out of your system after the retrieval. It s embarrassing living like this for two months.

We have been patients of ORM since 2014 when we started with IUIs to conceive our first child. Once our kiddo was old enough and we realized we d need more help for child 2, we had no doubts that ORM was the right clinic for us a second time. It took us a few rounds of IVF, but I can happily say that we just graduated with our pregnancy and have been release to an OB. Dr Bankowski and his team (Katie, Taylor, and Amelia) are amazing individuals and made us feel very cared for and respected throughout our tough journey. They were sad with us, happy with us, and willing to try different things when needed. I couldn t have asked for a better team to manage our infertility care and I wouldn t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone.

I, personally, only have good things to say about my experience at ORM. Infertility is so extremely stressful but they were with me and my husband every step of the way. We worked with Dr. Bankowski who is personal and professional. He was always willing to listen to my concerns and tell me why he was choosing a particular protocol and test or whatever. He was SUCH a good technician too when it came to the procedures.

I also had a wonderful rapport with his support staff. He's coordinator, Katie, ALWAYS answered all my questions (and I had many) and added her own experience in there as well. I never had to wait more than a few hours for a call or email back from either Katie or the nurse Taylor. I really loved working with both of them and, oddly, miss them now.

The embryologists and genetic counselors were also very helpful. In particular Serena Talcott Baughman talked with my quite extensively on the phone and via email to answer all of my concerns after we got our CCS testing back from our two retrievals. Speaking of the CCS testing, I'm so thankful we did that. All of our embryos looked wonderful but the CCS testing meant we were able to transfer one that was healthy and had the best chance of becoming a viable pregnancy. Thank goodness for science!

I was also quite impressed with Dr. Adams who did one of my retrievals. That one in particularly was very easy to recover from and she was kind and efficient.

The phlebotomists Kera and Mindy were always great too! I can have difficult veins and they always managed to get in there without much fuss. They both always had such a good attitude as well! Getting labs was never stressful.

In total it was a long road but the choices ORM helped us make ultimately lead to a positive pregnancy test and (knock on wood) hopefully a live birth at the end of our pregnancy. I thought everyone I met there was helpful and friendly and professional. They could improve the financial transparency a bit as you go through the process BUT they were spot on from the beginning about the over-all costs which is (in my opinion) what counts. There were no surprises on how much we paid in the end.

I will forever be thankful for ORM, all of their doctors, office staff, nurses, coordinators, embryologists, genetic counselors and acupuncturists (particularly Lisa Pate who I worked with through all of my IVF procedures). And I hope all those infertile couples out there find the right fit for their journey, wherever that may be!

My review can only act as a comparison between ORM fertility and the Providence Women's Health Clinic and OHSU. My wife and I went to all three in search of help to achieve fertility and have a kid. Out of the three, for some reason, we felt ORM didn't have the professionalism and concern for the patient as did the other two entities.

Everyone is so friendly too and I love that I got to help a family grow! I will definitely being doing another cycle in the future. Ten out of ten!!

As an egg donor, I felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. All procedures/assessments take place at the clinic and a majority of the communication takes place through an online portal allowing for a smooth and comfortable experience. There are multiple steps to complete in the process of being cleared as an egg donor, but these are all in place to ensure a healthy, successful procedure for both the donor and recipient!

I feel that the staff here is very friendly and concerned. I've read that not all practices give as much attention to egg donors as they do the intended parents, but I didn't feel that way at all. I had an overall positive experience.

I visited ORM as a surrogate. Marissa, Dr. Brandon and the whole team were incredibly caring and professional. My favorite part of the clinic was the location and interior. If only all hospitals were this beautiful. After appointments, we would walk or bike to local favorites, Petunia's GF bakery, the Indian food cart on Yamhill, or the art museum. My daughter had a sad face when I told her yesterday that my appointments there were done.

My only recommendation is to add a cold/hot water station for filling bottles and stocked with pregnancy friendly herbal teas. I'm not a fan of bottled water so I would fill my bottle in the bathroom sinks.

ORM was a breathe of fresh air. We had our first appointment with Dr. Fisher and he spent about 2 hours with my husband and I going over everything. I had never received so much care and attention. He was very thorough and attentive, answering all of our questions. He explained all the steps and what the next few months would entail. The staff there is also amazing and very friendly. I wouldn t go anywhere else!!

My wife and I were looking for a new fertility clinic last summer after moving back to Oregon from South Carolina. We were finally ready to try to start a family again. I came across Oregon Reproductive Medicine online and was excited that they were so LGBTQ friendly. They seemed like the perfect choice for us, so we got in touch to set up a consult.

The whole process wasn't what I would call warm and friendly from the beginning; I never actually spoke to anyone on the phone, until I submitted all of our initial paperwork. I received a phone call from a nurse shortly after I scheduled who wanted to let me know that there was no reason for me to see them until I lost weight because I wasn't a candidate for IVF. The phone call really caught me off guard and I think I said as much. I was also really upset that they hadn't bothered to get to know me/us, review any of my medical information or history, or simply ask us what type of fertility help we were looking for. They simply put me in a category based on my weight.

If they had bothered to ask, they would have learned that yes, we had tried previously to get pregnant, but were unsuccessful. I chalk that up to a very stressful job and long hours. All of my tests were perfect; there was no reason to suspect infertility. We just don't have regular exposure to sperm, so that makes getting pregnant a challenge. We couldn't have afforded IVF anyway and wouldn't have gone that route, if that was our only option.

Anyway, they didn't bother to ask, and I was so upset by how I was treated before we had even met with them, we decided not to make the hour and a half drive to Portland and I cancelled the appointment. We found a lovely midwife at the Corvallis Birth Center who helped us with a pre-conception check up, tracking ovulation, and she eventually did our IUI. I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant.

Frankly, we're really happy that they treated us so poorly. It was the push I needed to advocate for myself and find a care provider who cared about who we were as individuals. If you're looking for a caring provider, look elsewhere. This isn't the place.

Oregon Reproductive Medicine is excellent. I have always felt like a patient, or sometimes even a friend. The care and personal touch extended has been a unique, exciting experience - I'm not even an IVF patient, I'm a donor. Nikki Peters (Intake Specialist), Corby Barnes (Match Specialist), and the other team members will do what's needed to create a supportive, caring experience. The 'personalized care' section ("Our Fertility Center") is spot on. Highly recommend!

ORM is wonderful.

ORM is wonderful.

To add clarity to some of the donor reviews - Donors receive the caregiving needed while cycling at ORM.

An IVF pregnancy versus an IVF donation carries a large difference: the medical staff aren't aloof, they are helping IVF donors with standard, process oriented care (blood draw, sampling, etc). Many of these processes are straightforward and simple. This is very different than initiating surrogacy or the processes of pregnancy, which involve a different level of focus and time, a much more energy intensive process. Regardless, everyone I have observed at ORM is treated like a person and a patient. It's easy to see how the agency excels.

Very nice space.

My experience at ORM was amazing! I had been thinking about becoming a donor for years before I finally decided to meet with someone to get additional information of the process and expectations of it all. This is a big decision and commitment to make, so i was very satisfied when I was given the details and process of everything from beginning to end.
Everyone who I came into contact with, no matter how little time I spent seeing/talking to them was super caring and thorough, I was being checked in with regularly to make sure I was doing fine and that I understood everything. My questions were always answered confidently and I felt at ease the whole time. It's amazing feeling that support from people who genuinely care about what they do.

I went to one of their "free seminars" before scheduling a consultation, and I got more useful information in that hour than the year of appointments with primary care and OBGYN leading up to that.

They handled the testing efficiently, effectively, and gently. They were professional and conscious of our emotions. They treated us like humans.

And most importantly, they solved our problems. Their testing showed the root cause of our infertility, and they referred me to a surgeon to remedy.

I would give them more stars if I could.

Ive been on a emotional roller coaster since Tuesday because of Oregon Reproductive Medicine, probably one of the WORST roller coasters I've been on through our entire infertility journey.We went in this last Tuesday to get a blood pregnancy test to confirm if we could possibly pregnant or not. I was called by a associate called Jessica from ORM & she said"well we received your results & your levels aren't at 0.00 but at a low 3.675.So your pregnant."After 7 YEARS of infertility I've finally heard those 2 words every woman wants to hear. BUT it was short lived by her adding that the levels SHOULD be around 17 to 20m So your only KINDA pregnant.I stood their confused. What do you mean "kind of" pregnant?? She said they consider anything over a 2.50m a positive pregnancy but probably will turn to a negative the next time we test you.we would like you back in on Thursday 12/1/2016 to take another test to see if your levels doubled or if it dropped.) If it doubles or rises you are for sure pregnant.If it goes down unfortunately that means your not pregnant.I shook my head in shock & asked "you just told me Im pregnant" but actually not?She said because your not at 0.0 (which would mean I'm not pregnant) but above 2.50m they "consider" me pregnant. I told her thank you & hung up so distraught,& emotional my happy moment I've been begging, praying, dreaming of has come and gone & has been RUINED by ORM.
The last 2 days to vie had to wait for the next blood test to confirm again has been horrible and emotional.My husband and I went in again today and spent more money to take another blood test.Also while I was there I requested for someone to call me so I can discuss my issues i'm having with ORM so far.I was given a call around 9:30am and the lady was nice and said we can discuss your results and if you want to reschedule a different time to talk about the issues your having with ORM I completely understand & I said,well it depends on my results.She said "well Elizabeth I'm sorry to tell you,your levels dropped to a 1.37m & that means your not pregnant".I told her how DARE you guys tell me I'm pregnant when im not.What kind of policies is this.I told your her you guys are ORM, your on the radio, news, all over the internet, a state, even country known for reproductive medicine and have had hundreds of positive stories and this is how I'm treated?Your associate tells me the news I've wanted to hear for almost 7 years this December and now but I'm actually not?I told her do you even understand my story and that we have been trying this long and what this has put me through? she remained calm the whole call and understanding.She did say 3 different things, I could of been pregnant, the egg implanted, then detached.Then it was and chemical pregnancy from all my medicines raised my levels and made them think I was pregnant.Then I could of not been pregnant at all.I said your associate had the audacity to tell me I was pregnant when you weren't even sure yourself
So I spend over $172.00 the past 2 visits for them to tell me I'm pregnant but no I'm not. She also added this is a hard to tell our clients news like this and very sorry. And I said HARD FOR YOU. I'm the one going through the shots, pills, mood swings, depression, weight gain, cravings, stress at work and home, and so on and it's hard for you? This all could of been prevented if you didn't tell me I was pregnant when I actually wasn't. I also asked her why you tell people your pregnant at such a low level when I told her i don't mean to question her schooling, job or position but I I checked Google, & a positive pregnancy shouldn't be considered a positive test until over 5.0m so why did they consider a number at 3.675 a positive. She said their job is the find out early with procedures & their goal is to find out as soon as possible. I told her you should not be telling woman they are pregnant when they are not until you are 100% sure.

This place is not straight-forward with their donors. They asked about family history early on to make sure I didn t have any mental health or a prevalence of specific cancer or anything. They cleared me for every step along the way until the family history form. Nothing was different from what I had told them months ago, but they denied me and will not tell why. Hours and hours of work out into this, and they change their minds. I was honest, accessible, prompt, and courteous with them, and they were everything but.
Donors beware.

I didn t want to waste another second or emotions on this place, but since I am still waking in the middle of the night with anxiety attacks about my experience here I am hoping this will bring me closure as well as hopefully saving someone else from going through the same thing. I will keep this short and to the point with as much emotions left out as possible since I could go on and on. I went to ORM with a history of early miscarriages and a previous ectopic. Dr Barbieri was who we chose for our care. After several tests she was not sure why we had previous miscarriages but we moved forward with IVF regardless. We spent around 20k just at ORM for our one round, this did not include labs and some other tests as well as meds that we had to have in Bend, OR. I was able to get lots of eggs but unfortunately I only ended up with two embryos. I begged for more tests before our transfer date in fear I would lose both of my girl embryos since they still were not sure why I had previous miscarriages. They assured me there was nothing else we could do and that we should move forward with the transfer. I received a call from our coordinator (Stephanie) stating that we were not pregnant and that we lost both embryos at transfer. She was not very nice about it and when I asked if I could talk to a doctor they said that Dr Barbieri was out of town and the other doctors on staff did not have time. I was devistated! We returned to Dr Barbieris for a follow up consult, which they really messed up, but I won t get into that. Dr Barbieri started to discuss possible sperm/egg donors and explained to us that we could do some of her voodoo in the second round, but might not work still. Still no answers... After lots of research I asked the embryology department if the 7 of my embryos that arrested did so after the assisted hatching on day 3 and they said yes, but called to tell me that their process is the best. I thought maybe I would try another doctor at ORM but their response was you can t just go around and pick which doctor you like best, although I was paying for each consult cash it was not covered by my insurance. But I digress... I went to Seattle and met Dr Shahine and she wanted to switch some meds around, but other than that pretty much the same thing as the first round. I went to LA and met with Dr. Ashim Kumar and finally he figured out what several of my doctors could not find out for years and so many pregnancy losses. He suggested a pelvic MRI and an endometrial biopsy (EMB) The MRI came back perfect but the EMB came back positive for plasma cells. I had endometritis (not the same as endometriosis) We moved forward with him and ended up getting 7 embryos since his embryology team does not even touch the embryos till day 5/6. I did a few weeks of antibiotics and did another EMB and there was no plasma cells so he let uterine lining recover from the EMB and started the transfer injections and the first embryo we transferred stuck and I have a healthy happy 3 month old in front of me because of it. I owe Dr. Kumar my life. We also could have done two rounds with him for what I paid for one round at ORM but he nailed the first round, and you get Dr Kumar the entire time and his staff is very nice to work with unlike ORMs staff (lab techs were nice). I just can t believe a group can be so ignorant to the advances in their own field. The doctors have to send a report to CDC and I think it is called a SART report (society for assisted reproductive technology) SART.org, and that is why I chose to have a consult with Dr Kumar to begin with since when we looked into their report cards at the time he had the best numbers in the nation. These reports may guide you in choosing a place to do your round of IVF even if it means going 13 hours away from home it may be worth it. I think if you chose ORM or choose to go with ORM I really hope the best as I know how hard this is for everyone to go through and I just hope your experience won t be like mine so I share a little of my story.

My wife and I highly recommend Dr. Adams at Oregon Reproductive Medicine. She is exceptionally approachable, kind, and encouraging in addition to being an expert in the field of reproductive endocrinology. Our first time at ORM I remember working mostly with the nursing staff, which was okay, but not as comforting as our experience this time working primarily with Dr. Adams. As a clinician, Dr. Adams is engaged in every part of the process of helping her patients to become parents. I really appreciated how accessible she was. I was able to really let my guard down because of this effort she put into relationship-building and I believe it was critical to our success! We love Dr. Adams and you will too!

I have to say. Choosing to donate your eggs is a big decision. A decision that takes a lot thought. Oregon Reproductive Medicine put my mind at ease. Donating was something I always wanted to do, but I really wanted to fully understand what this process would look like. From start to finish ORM has been nothing but exceptional. They explained everything in immense detail. The staff and everyone I came in contact with was absolutely wonderful. The facility itself is clean. It s exactly how you would want it to look like.

Any questions I had were answered promptly. Even after my first donation these people became family. I can t say enough good things. If your actively wanted to explore egg donation or needed help with any infertility, please consider ORM. It will be the best decision you ll ever make.

Dr. Barbieri and her staff were very difficult to work with. For example, I had a scheduled appointment (which took weeks to get) and then after waiting for 24 minutes, was told Dr. Barbieri is actually unavailable for our appointment. I never had a consistent patient coordinator and would end up speaking to random people, having to go over the details every time. Also, good luck trying to get through to someone. Instead you will be told that someone will call you back and are expected to drop what you are doing when you finally receive a return phone call, as there is no direct line to return calls. When using their answering service, I was placed on hold for half an hour and heard the staff discussing other patients and their medical needs, as well as a conversation about Jesus and the second testament of the bible. Another time, while getting a blood draw, the technician forgot to put a piece of the equipment on and my blood came out of the tube and was dripping down my arm, on my clothes, on the floor and on my bag. I had to go home and change before returning to work, which took even more time out of my day. I could go on with other examples, but Oregon Reproductive has already wasted so much of my time and the message is clear. This place is reminiscent of a used car lot. They are happy to waste your time and take your money, selling you a dream. Once they have your cash, they could care less about your experience with them. I had several people warn me of this, but I moved forward with working with them. I wish I had not and instead gone to OHSU. Beware.

I really can t say enough great things about ORM. I recently completed an egg donation, and it was such a positive experience from beginning to end. The staff is very caring and thorough. They explained the entire process, and were able to answer all of my questions. They regularly check-in and give very detailed instructions. I felt well taken care of throughout the process.

I recently participated in ORM s egg donor program and just completed my first donation cycle. I had a friend who recommended them to me and I couldn t have been more pleased. The staff was prompt and friendly- making the whole process comfortable and kept me well informed. The information given in the donor orientation answered all my questions and gave a clear understanding of how the donation works. I was so surprised how quick and easy the surgery was. I would absolutely recommend ORM to anyone.

Be careful when dealing with this company as they are not truthful. I went through my screening to be a donor and inputed my medical history (which is nothing out of the ordinary) and they said to be specific as possible and it would not alter my eligibility. Shortly after submitting me they sent me a email just stating they can not proceed with the screening process at this time. Just very deceiving and conniving.

I ve been with ORM since 2013 and would recommend them to anybody looking to build their family through IVF. From top to bottom I had nothing but the best experience despite the ups and downs of battling infertility. Whether it was a billing or scheduling issue, needing to get in for last minute labs, or just needing someone to talk to when I was struggling, my team at ORM was there for me. Ultimately, it was a true team effort and I valued that approach at ORM. Feeling like the power of an entire team of doctors, nurses, assistants, embryologists, and staff behind you...gives you the courage to keep moving forward even when you doubt yourself. Thank you to Dr. Bankowski, Dr. Adams, RN Katie, RN Taylor, RN Judy and Kera for always taking such good care of me!
