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.

Four years ago my husband and I began our fertility journey. We were seen by a doctor close to home who discouraged me and made me feel less of woman for not being able to get pregnant. I call RMACT and from my first phone with the scheduler I was hopeful again. Working with Dr Richlin and his team was a wonderful experience. He explained everything from day one and always would tell me not to worry he was on the journey with us. After multiple fails of IUIs and IVF we are beyond happy to be expecting our little man in Feb/2022. We worked closely with him and his nurse Cathy, Lisa from billing, Sammy our patient navigator and Amber who always greeted us with a cheerful welcoming attitude. I am a hard stick but the phlebotomist always got me and I applaud their skills. I will never be able to gather the words to express how grateful and blessed we feel to have met this amazing group of people. You all will have a place in our hearts forever.

Dr Richlin is a wonderful Doctor who truly cares about his patients. We had such a great experience at RMA both with the staff who are all so lovely and Dr Richlin. They made a daunting experience much more manageable and the multiple appointments more enjoyable. I could not recommend RMA and Dr Richlin more.

Dr. Richlin (and the entire RMA of CT team) was absolutely incredible. Their patience, knowledge, and kindness helped my husband and I through one of the most trying times in our lives, and we are forever grateful for the growing family that they have helped us to create. Dr. Richlin truly cares about his patients and takes the time to explain everything clearly. He even Skyped with my husband at work to go over test results! I felt at ease every time I left their office, knowing we were in the best hands. I can not recommend him and the RMA staff highly enough!

I couldn’t be more grateful for Dr. Richlin and the knowledgeable, caring and helpful staff at RMACT. They took a year-long, painful, difficult process and made it as manageable as possible, and always put this anxious mama-to-be at ease. I so appreciate everything they have done for my family and I, and look forward to visiting with baby girl in the spring!

My husband and I sought out Dr. Richlin after having 3 IUIs done at another fertility clinic with no luck. He and the staff at RMA are tops. They really took the time to look into our benefits and found out that we could have back to back procedures at no additional cost. My previous doctor also suggested I may have an ovulatory issue but was reluctant to change my regimen, insisted on IVF. Dr. Richlin changed my meds and approach. We are now 10 weeks pregnant and only have Dr. Richlin to thank!

I couldn't have been happier with Dr. Richlin and the entire RMACT team. They took care of me through a difficult year of infertility and I never once doubted that the outcome would be successful. Dr. Richlin's kind and professional manner is wonderful and he instills a confidence in you that the process will work if you stick with it. I'm thrilled to now be over three months pregnant with identical twins all thanks to Dr. Richlin and his team!
