Hi, We're so sorry to hear your experience with us was less than ideal but appreciate you reaching out and providing us with your honest feedback. We’d like the chance to make things right and will be reaching out to you shortly to resolve this matter.
This practice is an absolute financial trap and should be avoided at all costs. Their primary focus is collecting money, after which they provide zero post-procedure care. The treatment protocols…

Hi, We're so sorry to hear your experience with us was less than ideal but we’d like the chance to make things right - please reach out to our team as we have no record of who this is, or when you received treatment at our clinic. However, we will NOT stand for accusations of being a financial trap, providing insufficient care, or adhering outdated protocols - these claims are demonstrably FALSE, and we take them very seriously.
Ovarian rejuvenation made the egg quality worse. Targeting desperate women. Friendly and clean but don’t waste your money
