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.
Dr. Catenacci is a wonderful doctor that I highly recommend. She is very patient and trustworthy. She was always willing to answer all of my questions. We are forever grateful to her. She worked with us for about a year going at the pace that we felt most comfortable with. Eventually, we chose to do IVF with Dr. Catenacci and we are so thankful that we did because we now have a healthy 4 1/2 year old daughter and a healthy newborn son. I would definitely recommend this doctor.

Dr. Catenacci spends time with me to answer my questions, and has a calming demeanor about her which is really nice for someone going through fertility testing. Her appts run on time and she explains everything to you. I really loved Sonya and Diana who took excellent care of me and were so nice. I love this practice.

It is my belief that people should not use the word hun in any way to refer to a female in a sentence as this word was utilized by the patriarchy to be patronizing and condescending.
However, Dr. Catenacci is very sweet. Their nurse was very kind as well and explained everything in detail.

Dr Catenacci and Dr. Irani both were very kind to myself and my wife, answered any and all questions/concerns and explained the process clearly and concisely. The nurse staff also helped by providing all dates/med amounts/schedules so the process went really smooth! 7 Weeks in very happy and pregnant!

We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Catenacci. She took the time to listen to our concerns. We felt as though she wanted our IVF cycle to be as much of a success as we did. She was positive and willing to make changes as needed. She took the time to work with us. Thank you!
