Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

If you have endometriosis run the other way!
I couldn’t even get a visit because his receptionist said he had a waiting list. She stated that endometriosis could be treated by any Ob-gyn. I stated that wasn’t the case. She was very rude and disrespectful. She doesn’t need to be working with women with female reproductive health issues if she has a dismissive and hateful attitude. Endometriosis is not a disease that is managed well by Ob-gym’s they just put you on birth control and call it a day. If you have endometriosis stay far away from this office because the staff acts like it’s not a big deal. Ironically, this office came highly recommended from an endometriosis group. What a joke.

We came to Dr. Wilshire and his team after a failed IVF at a separate clinic. From the office staff to medical staff, they are helpful and show empathy. Dr. Wilshire was especially helpful explaining things in simple terms without feelings of judgment. We now have 2 boys, both IUI and IVF have been successful. We are forever grateful.

Dr. Gilbert Wilshire is an amazing fertility doctor and human being. He is the reason we have our twins, who are now 23 years old! At the time he practiced in New Jersey and we were very fortunate to have been referred to him when we were struggling to have children. He even came to the hospital to visit and meet the babies once they were born. We are forever indebted to this doctor.

Dr. Wilshire and his staff are fantastic. I was first referred to him when I had an ectopic pregnancy. He recommended removing one of the damaged fallopian tubes and ultimately that was a great decision. He always made sure to give me all of the information and options available to us. His staff, especially Kim, made us feel like they really cared about my husband and I, giving us big hugs when we got sad and ultimately great news. I was even a bit sad to have to be transferred to a regular OBGYN once I hit 12 weeks. Great staff and highly experienced!

I had a previous miscarriage before I heard of Dr. Wilshire. I ended up getting pregnant before seeing Dr. Wilshire, but he saw me up until my 9th week of pregnancy. Hands down, it was the most comfortable experience of my life. The staff made me feel so welcome, and the atmosphere was incredible. I would definitely recommend Dr. Wilshire to anyone. I will be staying in touch with him, as well as his staff about my progress. He made the whole process so easy and stress free! 5 stars!

We had a great experience with Dr. Wilshire and his team. Everyone was helpful and pleasant whether it is the person checking you in or the doctor himself. It is obvious that they are very knowledgeable about the subject and will keep you informed as you go through the process.

I first went to see Dr. Wilshire after hearing from a coworker how much he had helped her with her fertility issues (she had twins). After a few failed IUI's, Dr. Wilshire and his nurses voiced concerns that I may have endometriosis. Though I didn't have any symptoms, it turned out that I had stage 2 and also a fibroid on my uterus (now all gone!). He and his staff were extremely caring throughout our whole journey, and made me hopeful. Thanks to Wilshire and his nurses I am now 8 weeks along!

I have really enjoyed my experience with Dr. Wilshire. He listens, really seems to care, and is honest. I am coming to him after a failed IVF at a different clinic and it was a breath of fresh air to start treatment with him and his staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Wilshire and his team.

If I could give ZERO stars, I would. After 2 AIs, we conceived & had a miscarriage. While preparing for a 3 AI round, I was told paying for a third IA treatment would be "a waste of my money". We decided to trust our instincts & ignore the self righteous doctor (yes, he is a VERY pompous man). We were blessed with a beautiful baby boy! Regardless of your limited options in Mid-Missouri, GO...RUN to another clinic even if it means a longer drive.

Dr. Wilshire and his team are absolutely amazing. After 4 years of infertility, we're finally expecting our first baby. I can call the office at any time with questions, I never have to wait for a call back because I am put through to a nurse right away. I feel very comfortable with the whole team. Dr. Wilshire is keeping a very close eye on me for the first few weeks and I am confident that I would not get the same level of care at an ob at this point in my pregnancy.

My wife and I are so delighted by the care we received at Dr. Wilshire's office. Everyone was so supportive of us along our journey: Dr. Wilshire, the nurses performing procedures, and even the administrative staff. We had a fairly poor experience at our previous fertility clinic and were referred to Dr. Wilshire by a friend. We are now both pregnant at the same time thanks to him and his team! We have already begun recommending him to other friends.

Dr. Wilshire is one of the worst doctors I have ever dealt with. He is unprofessional and crass. I can't believe he still has a license. Don't waste you time on this jerk!! Plus, he misdiagnosed me and said my chances of ever getting pregnant were less than 5 percent. I went to a RE in St. Louis and now have twins!!!

Dr Wilshire and his staff were so helpful, comforting, and professional. They were easy to get a hold of, my appointments were always on time if not early, and the fully explained everything that was happening. Even better...after 1 round of IUI, we successfully conceived!

My husband and I have been seeing Dr.Wilshire and his team since 2010. I have had reconstructive surgery by him and wouldn't trust anyone else! He is a very smart and a well educated doctor! His nurses Kim, Amanda, and Marnee are extremely helpful in everything needed for any procedures being done! If it weren't for Dr.Wilshire we wouldn't have our IVF miracle! I have always recommended him to anyone that has fertility complications and I always will!
