Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Felt judged and criticized
Telehealth
Fertility issues are extremely personal for us and the journey is challenging. The last thing needed is a doctor who judges your preferences, feelings, and reactions to bad experiences. The first reg flag was being told our miscarriage is no big deal and to just get over it. The second red flag is being told that we can only do things one way and not having any of our preferences accounted for. I felt like I was being treated like a walking uterus as opposed to a human being with my own thoughts and emotions.

She is the best doctor at IRMS! Great experience with her, she makes you feel very comfortable and will take time to answer any questions. She always acknowledge her patients and is friendly/warm in every appointment. We loved her.

I found Dr Cekleniak to be incredibly easy to speak to and very informed on my specific situation. I am single and after many false starts finally made an appointment to see her about freezing my eggs. I thought I knew quite a bit before meeting with her but learned so much more finally meeting her face to face. I feel so much more comfortable about my decision to move forward and frankly wish I hadn't kept putting it off. I would definitely recommend seeing her!
