This fertility clinic is incredible! My husband and I shopped around for the best fertility Doctors in our area that ended in disappointment for a range of reasons, price, bedside manner, professionalism, competence, and etc. Thankfully, we found this clinic! The total 6 hr commute was worth it! We now have a beautiful baby and 2 embryos waiting for us! They truly made our dreams come true.

Words can not express the gratitude we have for the Fertility Center of Chattanooga! We highly recommend Dr. Donesky and his staff to all that are struggling with infertility. They went above and beyond to make our dream come true! The friendly, knowledgeable and hard working staff set the bar high and exceeded all our expectations!They worked hard around the clock; always communicating with us to ease our worries and solve all our insurance concerns. They provided tons of emotional support for an emotional journey! They are compassionate, welcoming and above all else are supportive!Thank you Dr. D and staff- our dream girl will be two this year and you made that possible! We are forever grateful!

After trying for years and going to every fertility clinic in the Nashville area we decided to make the drive to Chattanooga. During our first visit with Dr.Bird I sobbed because I knew I had found the place that I was supposed to be. Dr.Bird is amazing and with every road block we hit he was there for us, he always laid out our options after a failed transfer and always talked to us like people. The fertility center staff became a second family to us over the 2 years we were going through treatments they were there for us and helped us grieve and cheered us on when we got to graduate from the fertility clinic. We will always recommend the fertility center to people even in Nashville because it was well worth the drive.

While I did my regular visits at the Knoxville location (5 star review there for Dr. Donesky and NP Mary Katherine and team, too!), the big procedures were done at the Chattanooga location. After so many unsuccessful years of trying to conceive on our own, I was nervous and a little scared, but the staff here were comforting and took care of me. What magic they are working! We now have a healthy, happy, and thriving baby boy! I cannot thank this professional and caring staff enough. They are making dreams come true!

I am forever thankful for Dr. Donesky and his entire staff. We struggled with infertility for 3+ years before seeking their assistance with our fertility journey. After successful IVF, we received the greatest gift, our little boy. They are truly the best.

For a first time experience, this is not a place I would recommend for anyone. Literally one of the worst experience I’ve ever had. This is supposed to be a time that we look forward to. The staff is very rude, unfriendly, and unwelcoming. Sydney and Shirley are very hard to communicate with.. when explaining something or needing information or clarification they become very frustrated and rude. Definitely do not recommend this clinic at all for any mother or egg donor that’s looking for a fertility specialist.

After 8 rounds of IVF Dr Donskey never once gave up trying to find a way to make us parents. I have never seen such love and compassion from any other group of doctors. I wished I could of finished my pregnancy in their office instead of my regular OB. Shirley is absolutely incredible and made everything possible for us.

Perhaps it is because I am young (26) but I just felt like the Dr. was very condescending. He talked AT me, but did not talk with me or ask me many questions.Several instances it just really felt like the Dr. did not care.Maybe it would have been a better experience if I was older, but I had a very negative experience here.The front desk ladies and the nurses are very kind and caring. I would almost go back just for them.

We couldn’t be happier or more thankful to have our baby girl after treatments with Dr. Bird. We will forever be so grateful.

After moving and changing fertility clinics, our new doctor was very confused as to why we went with IVF given my age (27) genetic history, and health status. I explained that our previous clinic (Fertility Center of Chattanooga) told us that our best option was IVF and he proceeded to look over my files. I explained that IVF was heavily pushed, and not IUI. He was flabbergasted that out of the 65+ eggs, only two turned to embryos. He was highly confused by everything we went through.I then explained that the fertility clinic in Chattanooga said our chances with IUI would only be 3% because I didn’t have success with the egg retrieval or IVF. He said IUI had lesser of a chance than IVF, but he recommended three rounds of that (much cheaper than IVF) before moving to plan B. Low and behold, it worked the first time and we are very grateful. We welcomed our son in September.While we are so extremely happy to have our newborn, it does make me wonder about the validity of your fertility clinic. I never felt like our new clinic was stealing money or lying to us. I question why we were pushed towards IVF and deterred from IUI, especially after going over our financial constraints multiple times. We were never offered financial support or discount programs at the Fertility Center of Chattanooga. They simply led us to loans and credit cards that might have helped us. I’m very upset with the amount of money we spent for something that was so unsuccessful, only to be told that everything could’ve been done with a more cost effective method (Especially when the more cost effective method worked the first time).

Often am dismissed and unheard at TFC. I think it’s ok to ask questions especially when you are financially struggling to afford procedures there etc and I think patients deserve answers. The infertility journey is hard and emotional, but punitive communication styles or not being believed, doesn’t help.

After my visit there was a bit of a misunderstanding with the bill/charges. Shirley reached out to me and was able to clear the confusion with great concern of the situation. Courteous, clean, and professional staff!

I highly recommend Dr. Donkesky and Dr. Bird. They have phenomenal bedside manner and really want to find a solution for you. They never rush and always thoroughly explain. The staff here is amazing and always helpful! If you’re looking for a fertility doctor, this is the one!

Dr. Donesky and staff have always treated me and my husband with great respect and empathy. I feel like I’m always taken care of, even on the bad days when I’m there to discuss some hard topics or do some not-so-fun treatments. Dr. Donesky was the first Dr to finally agree to perform a lap and diagnose endometriosis, which a lot of Dr’s in the past always deduced to “unable to cope to with period pain.” When I finally found someone who would listen to me and let ME explain what was happening in MY body, they found a patient for life. (hopefully not life, praying for a baby lol)

My husband and I both have children from previous relationships and most people and even a few doctors turned their heads at us when we mentioned its been three years and we havent been able to get pregnant. From the moment we walked through the doors at the fertility clinic, we were treated like family.I have never had such an amazing experience with a Dr and Dr. Donesky and Taryn and even the financial assistant were so amazing! As stressful as infetinfert is I cant wait to go back for my next appointment!

After working for over 10 years with OB/GYN doctors to try to conceive I finally reached out to a specialty clinic. I am so glad I did! They do things different and give you a lot more options. Just 3 months after working with these great doctors I became pregnant. Now, we are parents to the sweetest little boy. Thank you Dr. Donesky and Dr. Bird for listening and caring for me. Your staff is wonderful also and genuinely cared about my husband , myself and our dreams of becoming parents.God Bless you all!!!

20 years of suffering and countless Drs seeing me, I was at wits end, sick, and tired from all my female issues. I was referred by a co-worker who had high praises from this way. I can honestly say meeting Dr Katie saved my life. We worked on a game plan and life style changes. She patiently answered my millions of questions and her kindness was so genuine.It was my experience that since I’m not pregnant, and not wanting to be a single mom most unprofessional Dr’s offices I used previously didn’t value my health, nor was I taken seriously. One nurse from a practice in GA told me and I quote “make sure you take your metformin, your time to have babies is getting shorter and shorter”. Who is the world tells a patient that???? People focus on the wrong things, and after 20+ years of not getting the help and care I needed, I had to speak up and advocate for myself, my health, and my sanity. Thank you CFC for all that you do!

I went for my first consult with Dr Donesky. He was very knowledgeable and understanding. His explanation of things such as medicines and answering questions was excellent. The atmosphere in this clinic is so warming. The ladies that work here absolutely love what they do and it sure does show!!! The email and phone call return for the staff is excellent!!!! If you have a question it is always answered in a wonderful time frame, my questions have always been answered the same day that they were asked. Infertility is a very emotional thing and couples need support, the staff in this clinic are so supportive and loving. Im from the central Arkansas area and I traveled 8 hours there and 8 hours back to go to this clinic and I would do it all over again! It was worth every single second of travel time. If you are shopping for a fertility clinic family this clinic is a great invest!!! Dr Donesky ROCKS and the ladies are awesome!!!!! Good luck and baby dust!!!!!

This was by far the worst experience I have ever encountered in health care. My wife and I are licensed health care personnel who have been in the industry for a combined 13 years. My wife chose this fertility center based on online advertisement. We had an appointment for 9 am. The parking lot was nearly empty and there was one couple before us who came and went. We went back at 10 am for our consultation after our hour wait in the empty waiting room. The office was freezing cold and there seemed to not be working heat. The physician was very thorough and explained our options very well. I was very pleased until we moved to our next person whom was a financial advisor. We received an email before coming to the office that diagnostic tests would be covered but no actual procedures. This was confirmed with this person and our rates were given. We were happy with the rates and costs and they all seemed reasonable. Our next stop was lab. While walking to the lab we noticed two employees braiding each others hair( this is not acceptable workplace behavior outside of hair salons). The lab personnel took three sticks to draw blood from my extremely fit 115 lb wife with bulging veins (I am a ICU nurse who sticks people frequently). The three sticks were ok, but it was the fact that she blamed my wife for each stick not being successful. She told her she needed to hydrate and said her veins were bad. At which point, my wife started to cry and asked to goto the bathroom. She told her to not faint on her. This was very disrespectful to say to someone who is already going through a traumatic experience. Around the same time, the financial advisor came back in to tell us that they had made a mistake and that their facility was out of network and we would be responsible for a different set of charges. The money is not an issue it is more of the incompetence. We had confirmation emails before that made statements that contradicted this. After agreeing to pay a higher rate then we originally told we went to pay. The person who handles the money was somehow now gone and appeared five minutes later with a bag of popcorn. (Also not professional behavior in my opinion). I could not wait to leave.In summary, the physician seemed very good and had a great manner. However, his office staff was the most unprofessional group I have encountered. I will never step foot in this office again in my life. Beware, you have been warned....
