My partner and I had a great experience at Poma Fertility. We chose Poma after being left unimpressed with another fertility clinic, and it was a great decision. The entire staff is super friendly, and takes your concerns seriously. They are very supportive and helped us navigate the difficult journey of going through IVF and getting great results. Go in knowing that results are not garanteed, but they were very aware of latest technologies and cutting edge research. They seemed very up to date and knowledgeable in their practice.

Amazing facility! The doctors and nurses were very patient and understanding. They developed a plan that made sense for my husband and me. Within the first try, we were able to get pregnant. Now we have a 15 month old baby girl.

Poma is absolutely wonderful! We had a difficult journey in trying to conceive - 7 years worth. We had gone to another place first with no success and truthfully feeling like we were just lining their pockets. We were referred to Poma by friends of ours. From the first visit we were welcomed and felt like we mattered and they went over our options. We decided to put things on hold and eventually returned 3 years later and started our journey. We eventually got pregnant (a few months into covid starting) and just had our little boy on 4/18. We cannot thank them enough for making our dreams a reality. We have one embryo left and will be back in a year or so.Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

My husband and I are forever grateful for all POMA has done for us. With the odds not in my favor being AMA, we were fortunate to have such an amazing team help us succeed. Dr. Beesley, the nusrsing staff, and front staff played such a pivotal role in are ability to achieve our dreams of having a child. We had only one embryo, through our whole cycle, that survived, and HE is here!!! Our prayers were answered, and we couldnt have done it with out POMA. Baby boy Waylon arrived via csection on June 18th, 7lbs and 20 inches long at 39 weeks. We are over the moon!!

Linda is remarkable. Professionalism, as well as care, complimented with a personal touch. Poma does as necessary to provide more than adequate care for prospective parents, donors, and those interested.If seeking fertility treatment, Poma is a space one can expect to find the discernment, support, and genuine care required of such an exciting, sensitive process.

We had a wonderful experience at POMA. We loved that there was a flat rate for treatment which helps for planning and saving. The staff are wonderful and are always happy to answer all of your questions and take the time to be sure that you understand the answer. Everyone there works as a team and genuinely are on your side and want to help you have the best chance at starting a family.

I was very nervous to explore fertility treatment. Everyone I spoke to and who worked with me in office were so nice and supportive. I love how they ensure you are educated in your options, don’t pressure you into a particular route and are top notch personals.Any questions or concerns I had were answered very quickly and at no point did I feel like it was a inconvenience to them.Above all I appreciate how professional everyone was. As someone who has some anxiety, especially in medical settings, they really helped ease my anxiety by being transparent and personable.Everyone who I worked with: nurses, front desk, scheduling, finance and the doctors are amazing. 10/10.Plus: VERY CLEAN environment and obviously they take pride in their work.

Amazing! Thank you Poma for everything youve done for me and my wife. The staff is extremely nice and the doctors are beyond caring and amazing. Linda is the most caring person in the world!!! I have no idea why some people gave this place 1 star. People blame doctors for their eggs not getting fertilized instead of realizing theyre the problem, not the doctors. Doctors at Poma are the best fertility doctors on the West coast. I wish I could give Poma 10 stars!!!! The best, most caring place my wife and I have ever been to! Thanks to Poma we will be parents soon. Love you guys and youre amazing!!!!Update: thank you Poma for giving us our beautiful baby girl!!!! You guys are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍

Poma is a great place to work with and very accommodating. I had rated them badly before, but they explained to me why I had had a negative experience and it was mostly my fault (response below). But, an organization that takes time to help an upset patient is worth going to. Their services were great and everyone was professional. I have referred two people to them and both were satisfied too.

Poma was amazing and honest. My wife had her tubes tied after a previous marriage and we had decided we wanted a child. She was 42 years old. Dr Opsahl was very honest from the beginning and suggested donor eggs. He said we had a slim chance with her age. We wanted to try to have our own and we just welcomed a healthy baby boy Chance into the world! Thank you Poma.

This was a tough road to go down but this office was a great help. I recommend them to anyone stuck in the infertility slog.The nurses are amazing. They are helpful and kind. Blood draws are easy and painless. Results are always available on an online portal before 3pm.Financial services are available and they also have an IVF guarantee program that helps you recoup some lost money if you dont get a take home baby.Waiting area is calm, clean, and baby free. Facilities are top notch and their embryologist invented some of the technology they, and everyone else, use today.

After going to 2 other clinics in the area... I am so pleased with my care here. The staff genuinely understands the struggle their patients go through. They dont try to sell you things you dont need and their costs for what you do need are reasonably low. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

We tried another clinic in downtown Seattle and the prices were outrageous, they wanted payment right away, and we felt like they just went through a routine for their paycheck. They didnt look at as us individuals with unique circumstances.Poma however was amazing!To be honest I was a little skeptical at first because I called a few times before reaching anyone at the front desk. Which I think is due to the fact that they keep their prices cheaper, and therefore staff less. But anyway... once I got my appointment set up, they have a patient portal which makes it so easy to contact them via email (they are very responsive). They explained everything so much clearer and better than the clinic we were at before did.Its worth the hour long drive for us (and parking is free).The nurses even suggested places where we could buy our medication cheaper. And they gave me tons of samples of kosher prenatal pills (which I had a hard time finding kosher DHA prenatals online).Just after I first appointment we felt SO much calmer and relaxed about the whole process of conceiving again.I guess my main point here is that I cannot recommend them enough. Such a great and helpful Fertility Clinic. Dont go anywhere else.

Reason for going to Poma: Family Preservation (Freezing embryos in anticipation for using them in the future), or as I like to call it- Baby Insurance! :)Poma Fertility is awesome! I worked mostly w/ Dr Opsahl & Nurse Gen... both are really great, as if the entire staff! They always had time to thoroughly explain stuff to us and answer all of our questions. My husband & I have a slightly different story than the average person coming into a Fertility Clinic. I was 32 yrs old & my husband (boyfriend at the time) was 40 when we first walked into Poma for a consultation. We had been dating for a year at that point & I told my then boyfriend that I wanted to freeze my eggs b/c I knew that egg quality begins to decline after age 30 & I wasnt going to have kids anytime in the near future. My boyfriend, being very supportive, went to the consultation w/ me & we sat down to discuss all of our options w/ Dr Opsahl, including talking to the financial counselor & Nurse. The entire consultation was an hour & a half, very thorough, & we left the appt seriously considering not only freezing my eggs, but freezing embryos instead, not b/c Dr Opsahl pushed or pursued us in any way, but b/c he was just really good at explaining all the pros & cons of both & we came out of the appt w/ a much better understanding of the entire process. They did recommend that we get some basic testing (genetic testing, ovarian reserve, sperm analysis, etc) to at least assess our reproductive status (all of this was fairly inexpensive w/ insurance). But we never felt pressured to make any decisions about freezing eggs/embryos, & they basically just let us know that if we decided we wanted to proceed forward w/ any decisions, they would be there for us. Dr Opsahl was even very great with helping to guide me in making a decision about whether or not to freeze eggs or embryos, by simply asking me some really good questions for me to ponder (I was on the fence about it because my boyfriend and I had only been dating for a year... god forbid we froze embryos together & then broke up!). After giving me some good food for thought, and discussing further w/ my boyfriend, we decided that we indeed wanted to freeze embryos (b/c they have a much higher chance of surviving the defrost, & higher overall chance of success), but decided to wait about a year, until we were at least engaged or close to being engaged. We came back a year later after doing a bit of ring shopping & decided to process forward with freezing embryos. The entire process went really well. I love how easy it was to talk to Dr Opsahl & I always really appreciated his honest, direct, & compassionate approach. We were able to freeze 10 embryos, we got engaged, & 9 months later we got married (I know... scandalously untraditional!). We got pregnant 8 months after getting married (naturally! ...w/ the help of supplements, acupuncture, & Letrizole!). Our plan was to try naturally for the first one, & then consider using our frozen embryos for baby #2. Im currently 35 & pregnant w/ our first baby, & I figure by the time we try for #2 Ill probably be 37-ish. At 35 I was having a hard time ovulating & having a regular cycles; I was diagnosed w/ borderline PCOS (at age 30-31 my cycles were totally normal, but by age 32 my cycles began to change). So I wasnt even sure I would be able to get pregnant with Baby #1 naturally. Luckily I did, & now I feel really reassured know that I have 10 embryos in the freezer waiting for us when we are ready for Baby #2. From these frozen embryos we might be able to get 1 or 2 children (maybe 3 if we were really lucky). Freezing our embryos was easy and it cost a total of $13,000. It helped to take the pressure off of us to have kids NOW & gave us a lot of reassurance for the future!! If you are considering freezing eggs/embryos... do it!! And if you are considering Poma, I highly recommend them!! At the very least, go in for a consultation, learn about your fertility status, & educate yourself on your options- Youll be so glad you did!

Put off reviewing this for a while because I didnt have much to compare it to. However, after going to two other fertility clinics I can now say with some authority that there are places significantly better than Poma. I went to Poma for a consultation about freezing my eggs/ embryos to utilize later, most likely with a surrogate due to some health conditions I have. I found the staff to be rude and judgemental about my consideration of surrogacy (I guess its not up to us to determine if its medically necessary or not). Additionally for $385 all I got was an explanation of how Poma harvests their eggs, essentially information that they could and should have just provided in a pamphlet for free. I went to Kindbody in NYC (they also have offices in LA and SF) and for $300 they did an ultrasound to check current egg follicles as well as ran blood tests to check my hormones. AN ACTUAL CONSULTATION. How can you provide me with a consultation if you know nothing about my body? Poma also informed me their policy is to not allow sex selection unless a couple already has a child of one sex then they can select for another. I find this to be quite unfair, what if a person only intends to have one child? The cost was also insane compared to Kindbody where I will now be going (even with the added cost of travel and lodging its still less expensive than Poma). I also tried to follow up with questions for Poma and never recieved a call back despite several attempts. I gave it 2 stars as the nurse I spoke to there was actually quite kind and informative unfortunately didnt feel that way about the rest of the staff. I would not recommend Poma, especially if considering surrogacy they seemed quite biased against it and not knowledgeable either.Edit: after reading Pomas response I am actually quite angry. Without knowning my full medical history I was immediately met with judgement in regards to surrogacy. Its easy for them to write here after the fact what their policy is. However, the reality in the moment was without essentially any knowledge of my medical history my medically necessary decision to utilize a surrogate was both judged and brushed aside. Furthermore, I went to two other clinics and my situation and need for a surrogate was both explored and taken very seriously. I have since successfully had my eggs harvested via KindBody in NYC (18 eggs) and am very pleased.

Prior to going to POMA I consulted with 2 other fertility clinics that I wasnt excited about. From my first visit at POMA and consultation with Dr. Opsahl I was impressed with the care. The girls at the front desk always know your name as soon as you walk in the door, the nursing staff is just amazing and patient, the providers are knowledgeable and honest but with compassion and Dr. Wiemer and his team are just incredible. I cant thank POMA enough. It would take a few pages to thank them each individually but what I can say is if you are seeking honest, ethical, knowledgeable and compassionate care, POMA is the place to go. Thank you so much to Dr. Opsahl, Dr. Beesley, Meagan, Linda, Dr. Wiemer, the incredible nursing team and the administrative staff for turning a difficult process into some of the best medical care I have ever received. I am moving onto OB but I will miss the team at POMA.

Dr and staff were incredibly helpful and informative, prices are lower than others in the area, very clean facility and I had a successful outcome; a beautiful baby girl. I will be seeing them again soon, I highly recommend them

One star is way too much! These people told me that my only option was to do some of the most expensive treatments and that was my only option. Well other fertility offices said they didnt even do a blood test WOW!. When you try to get in writing they say come into the office. They seem to blame the person that isnt in the office during a visit like your spouse is the reason why shes not getting pregnant. Or your husband is mostly the problem. Your money seems to be the bottom line.

Beautiful facility with reasonable/fair pricing and friendly staff. Had consults at two other places first (Olympia and SRM) and this establishment and staff by far beat out the other two. Call as soon as you can to get a consult, they do IVF every other month.

A wonderful success story here! The staff at Poma is wonderful - especially if you have the luck of having My Linda as your nurse (she is just like having a family member guide you through the experience).

It took me 2 years to write this review. Nurses are super nice but the whole procedures were shady. They didn’t inject the sperms into the eggs instead let the sperms finds the eggs (we found this out after and no wonder) from 21 eggs only 4 got fertilized. And right before I go in for egg retrieval the Dr ask us if we will do another cycle. He made us in aweee and then 2nd cycle came he asked us same thing. I told the nurse this it is for us and right before I went into eggs retrieval the nurse pulled the Dr aside then he prescribed me the med for implantation (how come didn’t prescribed me this one on the first cycle) This time we had 19 eggs and 10 got fertilized. Total we had 14 but till day 5 only 1 survived.We decided to implant the ONLY embryo that survived and I got pregnant but then it’s failed as there were too many chromosomes. Here is another good one that few months later the office emailed us asking us to fill out the gender of baby A and gender of baby B and when is due date.Please do more research before you guys want to waste your money with this clinic as they rated themselves high but is it the rating base on pregnancy or live birth.

After a devastating, cancelled IVF cycle at a different clinic in Bellevue who told me I would most likely have to use donor eggs to get pregnant, I came to Poma for a second opinion. 4 months later I am pregnant with my own eggs and have 3 genetically viable frozen embryos from my very FIRST IVF cycle at Poma!Dr. Opsahl, Dr. Wiemer and his team are miracle workers. The staff and nurses are all incredible. You can tell that each of them truly loves and deeply cares about what they do, they are in the process with you every step of the way. You dont get that at other clinics.Infertility has so many emotional ups and downs, appointments, questions that come up, prescriptions and paperwork to fill out. It can be exhausting and confusing but Poma made everything so seamless and easy to navigate. You look forward to your appointments since everyone is always happy to see you, the office energy is amazing! That means the world to someone going through the infertility journey.Plus, you see Dr. Opsahl at every single ultrasound appointment (not just at consultation like the other clinic I went to).I could write a novel about how much I recommend Poma to anyone going through infertility. Please do your research, I personally ended up consulting with multiple clinics after my cancelled IVF prior to landing on Poma. I can 100% say from my research and all of my consultations that Poma is the place to go. Hands down.Please feel free to message me directly if you have any questions, Im more than happy to share more details, I know you probably have so many questions like I did when I was trying to find the right clinic!

I was a patient of Doctor Opsahl’s almost 3 years ago. I had to do two IVFs, one with PGS and still only had 3 embryos at the end. Thankfully the first one worked for us and the other two are frozen. We’re actually going to go forward with a frozen embryo transfer with them soon. It was a rough and emotional experience and the staff there were always so sweet and supportive. I really miss many of the girls there. Doctor Opsahl was very involved every step of the way. We are so thankful for Poma, they work in an industry where any kind of ‘failure’ is the biggest kind of heartbreak and hardship. We truly appreciated the support and kindness of Sarah and the nurses. I was shocked to see the reviews they had and had to and my own personal experience. I recommend them to everyone I know struggling with conceiving their own family.

The staff are so amazingly insightful, tactful and are very sensitive to our needs. Dr Opsahl is very thorough and explains in detail the whole process and is very honest, sincere and upfront about the chances of success. The entire staff treated us with respect and dignity... they are attentive and it is so easy to communicate with them, you never have to repeat a question as each of the nursing staff seem to be up to speed and very effective, they answer all questions thoroughly. Sara, Jessica and Amy are such angels I am so thankful to them as they made our ivf journey so much easier. I highly recommend POMA!

It seems that most of the people here that left poor reviews do not understand how many variables go into a successful IVF. It is a very delicate and complex process that can fail at any one of many points along the way, just the mere fact that you seek out IVF suggests that the odds of you having success may be low. My wife and I started this process with very low expectations so we wouldnt be disappointed with a poor result. The POMA people have been AMAZING to us throughout though, we did a ton of testing and started with an IUI which was successful the first try but ended in MC. Not their fault at all. In fact they were more determined than us to help us understand the cause, once we determined it was a genetic issue we dove into IVF and maxed out our credit cards since our insurance like most, wont cover a cent. We did two extractions and only came out with 3 viable embryos of 14, we nervously had a FET and it worked! Were at 18 weeks, not out of the woods but further than weve ever been before. Dr. Ophsalt and his staff arent miracle workers but they ARE on your team and will work very hard for you to get positive results.*****UPDATE*****We had a beautiful baby boy on 2/11, he’s almost 4months now and progressing perfectly, happy and healthy. Couldn’t be more pleased with our POMA experience and outcome.

There is no staff, they dont take or answer patient calls and questions, Dr. Opsahl wont see anyone not doing IVF, so you will never see a doctor there (though they will bill insurance for seeing one). He is also super rude/mean to everyone, patients included, as my only experience with him is him SCREAMING at a staffer from the waiting room for over-billing him. Skip!!

I dont know why POMA has so much high evaluations. I can only say that the experience there was a nightmare. I spent most of my insurance benefits and almost $20,000 cash for two cycles (self pay parts for meds and other procedures). I had 30 mature eggs and 22 of them were fertilized to embryos. But only 4 of the embryos survived to the fifth day for PGD, all of which were poor qualities(the best rate was 3BC). So none of them passed the PGD. I was then only 33 years old. The doctor blamed all the failures to my poor egg quality, but I doubt about it. I highly recommend that before you try for POMA, make a serious decision because it may waste you a lot of time and money. I can say that their attitude is nice, but without a good result, good attitude was nothing.

Thank you for my 3 lovely boys.

My family and I are so thankfully for Poma!! I am currently 6 1/2 weeks pregnant.

I dont like the service here not a good service ...

If you are looking to feel anxious, confused and generally upset during your IVF process, I would definitely recommend Poma Fertility.The extra star is because IVF worked for us! The thing I am most excited about, second to being pregnant, is not having to do IVF with Poma Fertility ever again. Please do your research and compare Poma to how others communicate and set expectations through this process. This is something I failed to do.Communication: After we paid Poma, I felt we became a number in their extremely full bucket of clients. ALL communication is restricted to an extremely clunky patient messaging portal, which is a terrible, out of date experience. Many of the messages I sent them early on would not get answered at all. Sometimes multiple people would answer them, with varying responses.. super confusing. They would say theyd call and never did. More than once they sent me instructions to take a medication starting the next morning but when I went to the pharmacy to get it would find out they never called it in.On desperate occasions Id call the front desk begging to speak to a nurse, they would get annoyed and tell me to send a portal message. I actually wasnt going to write a review at all, but the final straw was when we asked them to keep the gender a secret from us but they sent us an unmarked card announcing it was a boy..Education & expectation setting: IVF is a scary and unknown process and Poma keeps the process very vague. I understand a lot can change at the last minute within the process, but they should tell clients that from the start. There is no advanced education about how to give yourself the shots, which added stress to the process. I had 5 different medications with different needles sitting on my counter and no idea on how to use them and had never given myself a shot. I dont think I am an uptight person but that feeling is pretty overwhelming. I spent a lot of time googling things Poma should have educated me on. I used YouTube videos I found by myself on how to administer the shots in my abdomen. On one occasion, a very kind nurse showed me how to do the shots when I brought the medication into Poma and I realized I had been doing it wrong..Costs: The last issue is the lack of transparency with costs. Poma comes off like they make this clear but they really dont. My husband and I ended up paying double than what their website states. Their various options sound straightforward, but be warned they are not. Many times at the last minute I would realize I needed to order more medication (the cost is 5K each time).To say something positive, the doctors there are wonderful. Megan was a joy to be with each time and was helpful. I think they really need more focused staff to communicate.I hope this review helps someone avoid the emotional turmoil I experienced
