Columbia Fertility Associates

It was my husband and I first visit with Dr. Sacks and we felt so comfortable. He was very knowledgeable, patient and thorough. He provided us with very detailed options to help us make decisions on best next steps. We appreciated him very much.

Just so no one has my experience take note ONLY THE DC OFFICE IS OPEN. THE N. VA AND BETHESDA OFFICES ARE CLOSED AND THERE IS NO INFORMATION ONLINE ABOUT IT. DO NOT BOOK IF DC IS NOT A REALISTIC OFFICE FOR YOU. Dr. Sacks is a 5 star doctor, but the office staff is less than. Rude, and after setting a follow up appointment then needing to cancel I was told my second appointment was never put on the books. I had to cancel because of the closed offices. Very frustrating.

I would really caution against this practice and recommend those considering making an appointment look at Yelp rather than Google reviews (maybe this says something about Google reviews being biased? The practice sends you a form asking for public feedback after your visit. They ask if it is positive or negative: if negative, you are rerouted to a private feedback form.

If positive, you post publicly!). Yelp reviews are much more in line with my experience there, particularly with admin staff. In short, they are rude and disorganized. It's been hell on earth receiving my test results: no one would call me with them and when I would call to receive them/a copy they would angrily tell me there is nothing in the system and they have no way of even checking what was sent out to the lab.

When I realized some of them were missing they told me I was supposed to come back on another day for that particular test (how could I know? no one had told me to when I was in the practice and I wouldn't have known had I not insisted upon it.). They can't even tell you how to check results. One nurse said she did not know. Another eventually said I should create an account with a particular lab. Really?

How is this not more streamlined.? I did create said account, and never received results on there either. Never had a pleasant call: I always am made to feel like I am disturbing them and/or am being unreasonable for wanting a copy of results. Still only have about 30% of my labs. I hope they don't mess up my billing. The two stars are for Dr. Sacks, who seemed like a decent doctor.

But I'm not sure this is worth the trouble: I can't imagine what this must be like if you're in it for some serious and complicated procedures (which some of the Yelp reviews describe) that require timely information.

Dr. Sacks is an angel! Incredible doctor with incredible bed side manner. He's been a shining light throughout my journey!

It was the best experience during this pandemic that I've had experience in a long time. I thank the entire staff that I encountered today they all are helpful, kind and I appreciate them and how they handle us today. Dr. Sack was just awesome, also LaShawn for providing us with needed information and for both her and Dr. Sacks making a exception for us today, we truly appreciate this experience, also thanks to the young lady that had done my blood work her energy was great

I've had one visit with Dr. Sacks and my husband and I felt respected, and acknowledged. He took the time to explain everything and wanted to be proactive about getting us started in growing our family. I'm looking forward to working with Dr. Sacks along this journey.

Dr. Sacks is fantastic! He is knowledgeable and and has the best bedside manner in the business. He has a way of making you feel like everything will be okay and that is so necessary in area of fertility treatment.

Dr. Sacks' energy was amazing from the start of our consult. He had a lot of information and we walked away from a conversation that we were a bit apprehensive about, feeling excited and encouraged. And even before the appointment, his office team made getting everything set up a breeze.

We saw a few different fertility doctors before a friend referred us to Dr. Sacks at Columbia Fertility. I knew when we started this process we needed someone who was patient, and understanding and I felt like I could trust. We knew after the first visit Dr. Sacks was the doctor for us. He's kind and optimistic while also being realistic and clear.

He let us talk through options, and I never felt like I was being pushed to do something I was uncomfortable with (which is one of the reasons we left our previous clinic). All protocols and meds were explained clearly, and there was always a nurse to answer questions when they came up. I always felt like they truly wanted the best for us - They were disappointed with us when things didn't go well, and celebrated with us when they did. I wish this wasn't the path we had to go down to start our family, but I am so grateful we were in good hands along the way.

Dr. Sacks is absolutely amazing! He's extremely knowledgeable and has a wide range of experience. He takes his time with his patients and comes with the highest recommendation possible. He will take his time to answer any of your questions and his bed-side manners are impeccable.
