Idaho Center for Reproductive Medicine

*UPDATE* We now have two beautiful boys thanks to ICRM. Our second was born Nov 2017.* I feel terrible seeing all of the poor reviews on here. Fertility issues really do bring out the most raw, painful emotions in a person; I truly do feel for all those who turned to ICRM in their most desperate times and still were not able to conceive. My wife and I are a same-sex couple who obviously needed medical assistance conceiving. We assumed that I had no fertility issues going in, but even with careful timing, medications, switching donors, and lots of support, it still took 6 IUIs to finally conceive our son. Throughout the process I felt nothing but love and support from the entire ICRM staff. There were hugs and tears when our first IUI ended in a chemical pregnancy and hugs and tears the day we "graduated" from the fertility clinic. The staff there does absolutely everything within their power to help you have a baby. I felt like they wanted it just as badly for us as we wanted it for ourselves. Our phone calls were always returned on the same day, and we got in for a same-day appointment on several occasions- even once when I was just freaking myself out and needed to see that heartbeat on the ultrasound. The staff was always very helpful. I'm happy to announce that we now have a beautiful baby boy, born in December, 2015. Even though we now live closer to a fertility center in Utah, we look forward to working with The Idaho Center for Reproductive Medicine again when it's time for a sibling. It will be well worth the travel time. I would recommend them to anyone. To those of you who have yet to conceive: sending you lots of love and baby dust! Never give up!

I was a patient of Dr. Slater's from April-Oct 2017. We had two failed attempts through no fault of the clinic or the procedures, however I will say that the bedside manner of Dr. Slater and her medical assistant left much to be desired. I had two miscarriages and they were explained without much compassion. There were instances where I'd call, crying and with pain or questions and did not hear back from them until 6+ hours later. And many instances where they talked to me having not reviewed my chart and seemed clueless as to my plan or course of treatment. And you can NEVER reach a nurse right away.. You always have to leave a message regardless of what's happening. I had two miscarriages under their care. In the end they had no answers as to why it wasn't working.. by all accounts I was fine. The clinic's saving grace is Tammy at the front desk, who was always kind and sincere, along with Lauren the ultrasound Tec.. They treated me like more than just a paycheck. I plan to go to Utah for IVF since there is a clinic there with a high success rate and almost half the cost of IVF at the ICRM.

I cannot speak about my experience with docs or nurses but I will say my experience with the front office alone was enough to make me go out of state for a clinic that has treated me so much better. It was very difficult to find an opening, they had the smallest windows to choose from, my DH is a doc as well and I still gave them what I could in terms of available times and nothing was aligning bc they only offered certain days at 8am and that's only certain weeks on certain days bc the docs aren't working or in cycle. After some bad phone connections the receptionist used the words 'are you sure you're destined to make this appointment?' REALLY??! I've already been treated so much better at another clinic who does much more business even. I was given some flexible dates or times and financial information wasn't masked until the first consult like Idaho Reproductive tries to do. You're in the business of working with women who are very hurt and sensitive as it is I would certainly recommend hiring front office who can at least come across as empathetic and accommodating
