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.

Amazing Team
Dr.Hirshfeld and her team are so welcoming and supportive throughout every step. Two successful transfers with detailed guidance and comprehensive communication for myself and my IPs. Super grateful we had Great experiences for both transfers.

Highly recommended
Dr. Hirshfiled has been truly a gift to our family . From the very first consultation, it was clear we were in the care of someone not only incredibly knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate. Fertility journeys can be emotionally taxing and physically demanding, but she always made us feel supported every step of the way. Thanks to Dr. Hirshfeld, we’re now expecting our second miracle baby. I was not sure if it was ever possible for us to have children and she helped to make it a reality. We are forever grateful for her dedication, expertise, and unwavering encouragement. If you're searching for a fertility specialist who treats you like more than just a patient, Dr. Hirshfeld is the one.

Thank you to Dr. Hirschfeld
After a significant loss and infertility diagnosis I turned to FCI and Dr. Hirschfeld for help. We had quite the journey together! Dr. Hirschfeld and her team were extremely knowledgable and kind throughout. She was always open to my thoughts and ideas. IVF is extremely difficult, but we never felt alone with Dr. Hirschfeld and her team behind us. I am happy to say that we're due late this year and can't thank her enough!

2 successful pregnancies
I worked with Dr. Hirshfeld-Cytron and had two successful pregnancies through IVF—one attempt, one baby each time. I now have a 20-month-old and am expecting my second baby in October. The entire process was seamless, and everything went perfectly with zero issues. I’m incredibly grateful for the care and expertise I received!

Grateful for Dr. Hirshfeld-Cytron!
My husband and I saw Dr.Hirshfeld-Cytron in 2024 for unexplained infertility. We did one round of IUI, 2 egg retrievals, and 1 embryo transfer under her care so far. I am happy to say that after our first embryo transfer, we got pregnant and now our baby boy is 2 months old! We are forever grateful for the care we received by her. During our treatment plans, she always had our personal goals and concerns in mind. As stressful as this experience was, we felt confident and optimistic in her care. She provided reassurance and made sure we were comfortable with our decisions and helped us make certain choices based on her expertise and advice. She was very reassuring during the process, especially when we would have disappointing news at times, she remained positive and provided us a plan of care for the next steps. Her team was very responsive and flexible when we needed to change certain dates or times. Couldn’t recommend her enough! You will be in great hands

IVF
Telehealth
I was recommended to FCI and Dr Hirshfeld by my OBGYN. From the ultrasound techs, the nurses, Dr Hirshfeld and the other physicians everyone was very kind, warm and welcoming in a time of sadness and despair. Dr Hirshfeld helped us along our journey to parenthood. While most of our appointments were telehealth I wish I would have met her in person sooner than I did. I felt like she was much more personable in person and she made me feel comforted and relaxed. She listened to all of our questions and didn’t seem like she was hurrying us to get to the next patient. I would recommend her to anyone seeking infertility treatment.

100% recommend
I was lucky enough to be matched with Dr Hirshfeld when I first decided to pursue IVF. While my journey was far from easy and I’m sure quite challenging for her, she didn’t give up on me. I was her patient for close to 2.5 years and every time a cycle failed she was ready to recommend something new, different and out of the box, while still being backed by research. I owe her so much for helping me finally get pregnant for the first time at 40 years old. Thanks to her (and my amazing nurse Megan) I’m almost 20 weeks pregnant! I appreciate all the help she provided more than she will ever know and I look forward to being her patient again if I decide to pursue another pregnancy. I can’t thank her or recommend her enough!

So Grateful to Dr. Hirschfeld
I went to Dr. Hirschfield after having a negative experience at another fertility clinic. Dr. Hirschfield is incredibly knowledgeable and detail oriented. I always felt that she was thinking through all the complexities of my situation. She also cares so deeply about the experience of women in this process and encouraged me to have a surgery for endometriosis for the purpose of pain management. Other doctors told me not to do it because it wouldn't change IVF outcomes but I ended up being so glad that I did it to confirm my diagnosis. Her nurses were kind and communicative and the clinic has the most amazing ultrasound techs and phlebotomists. Every family experiencing infertility has a different journey and different needs, but I was so pleased with my IVF outcomes and look forward to continue working with Dr. Hirschfield in the future.

Dr. Hirshfeld is a God sent
Words cannot express how grateful we are for Dr. Hirshfeld's expertise and compassion. After our first success, we unfortunately went to other clinics due to distance and had terrible experiences. Coming back to her after 5 years was the best decision we could have made, and she turned our dream into reality for a second time. Her thoroughness, knowledge, and empathy are truly remarkable. We will be forever thankful for everything she's done for us.

Couldn't recommend Dr. Hirshfeld More Highly
Dr. Hirshfeld is so knowledgeable, approachable, and willing to try all kinds of different treatments. She got me pregnant with my first daughter a few years ago and recently helped us conceive twins after we were told at another clinic that I would not be able to carry a baby on my own and I should seek surrogacy. Throughout my 3 year fertility journey I have learned that there is a huge discrepancy between different providers and Dr. Hirshfeld is head and shoulders above the rest.
