warningWhat to watch out for at Anova Fertility & Reproductive Health?

  • warning
    1. Poor communication and follow‑up
    Many patients experience weeks‑long delays in receiving test results, appointment confirmations, or medical records. Emails and voicemails often go unanswered, and the embryology team is reported as unresponsive, leaving patients uncertain about frozen embryos and treatment plans.
  • warning
    2. Rude front‑desk and scheduling issues
    Front‑desk staff are frequently described as unfriendly, non‑empathetic, and slow to answer calls. Appointments are cancelled at the last minute, rescheduled multiple times, and doctors such as Dr. Dixon are noted for being consistently late by two to three hours.
  • warning
    3. Perceived profit‑driven practices
    Patients report hidden fees, high costs for assisted hatching and sperm kits, and aggressive stimulation protocols for egg donors that prioritize yield over safety. Several reviews allege that the clinic pushes IVF or IUI without adequate justification, focusing on revenue generation.
  • warning
    4. Inconsistent doctor conduct
    Doctor interactions vary widely; some patients find Dr. Dixon compassionate, while others describe her as rushed, dismissive, and unwilling to discuss alternatives. Dr. Prema Vaidyanathan is cited for lacking bedside manner, and Dr. Mahmoud’s virtual consultations are criticized for poor language clarity.
