    My husband and I received excellent care at Carolina Conceptions throughout our journey with infertility. The doctors, nurses, billing, and administrative staff were all very responsive and helpful with any and all questions in a very timely manner. Dr. Park was very caring, straightforward, and made sure to educate us about all of our options along the way. We just welcomed our son and will never be able to express how thankful we are to this clinic!

    Earlier this year I attempted 5 iui rounds through CC. I’m not giving two stars because they didn’t work. With my blocked Fallopian tube diagnosis IUI’s were a long shot. My review is based on multiple consistent issues I had throughout those 5 months. The first was with billing. When I began there was a generous military discount, but without warning it was gone and prices dramatically increased. I also always seemed to have issues checking out or with billing. Second was that I only talked to my doctor at the consultation and for one iui procedure. Other than those two times, I got the opinion of whoever happened to be there that day. If I wanted my actual doctor’s opinion or confirmation that she agreed with the present doctor’s opinion, I had to schedule a appointment with her and pay extra just for her confirmation. The third issue I had was with ultrasounds. I have a blocked left Fallopian tube, but because of a weak right kidney, my left ovary was unfortunately the ovulation champ. Every month we found my left ovary had the larger follicles while my right only had the larger follicle on menopur one out of the 5 months. Almost without fail, every ultrasound tech would get excited looking at the left ovary and say, “You got some big ones over here!” I’d immediately feel relief thinking I actually had a shot. But then they would remember that my left tube is blocked and say, “Oh but the left tube is blocked right?” Or, I would have to tell them the left tube is blocked. It’s almost like no one read my chart which sent me on a emotional rollercoaster that would be completely avoidable. I remember having to explain my blockage to multiple techs. The fourth issue I had was with records. I ended up moving shortly after the last failed IUI and was planning on doing IVF at a new clinic. I requested my records for myself and for my new clinic. I waited the two weeks, and they were never sent. Once I’m followed up, I was told to complete the forms that I already submitted. I made it clear it was already done. Only then did they realize this and sent my records immediately. However, my records only contained my initial consultation information. It had nothing about my 5 iui attempts including medications, follicles, or if an iui was done. I had to use screenshots from my portal to get this info. Overall I felt like a number and my specific health concerns were never fully addressed or tested. I ended up at a clinic in northern VA and IVF resulted in my first ever pregnancy. I had the best experience at this clinic. CC is good if you are just starting out, but if you feel like you need more specialized care, don’t be afraid to get get a second opinion. I’ve had three friends all begin at CC and we have all gone to other clinics.

The nurses too are amazing and my experience with all the receptioniss is just wonderful! If you have any infertility problems, consult them now. They will help you and have a personalized plan for you.

    This place is the worst fertility clinic. We were treated like just a number and rushed through the expensive consultation. They would not even answer any of our questions. It was more like speaking to a lawyer than it was a doctor. The real point of frustration is when we were doing our consultation with finance we asked " okay how much will this be"? Finance person got up and we could hear her talking smack about us in the hallway to another employee criticizing for us for asking the cost instead of just starting. Edit: and the vague generic reply is exactly what i am taking about with this place. We did spend $1,000 in tests alone and each bill was a surprise since they would CRITICIZE IS EVERY TIME WE WOULD ASK ANY QUESTIONS!!! A MEDICAL PLACE THAT DOES NOT ALLOW ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PATIENT SHOULD BE SHUTDOWN! UNC FERTILITY IS WAY BETTER THAN THIS PLACE COULD EVERY HOPE TO BE.

    I had a consultation with Carolina Conceptions before we were ready to start trying due to a medical condition that causes fertility challenges. At the time I just wanted to know my options. I was advised to lose 12 pounds to be in the optimal weight range and told that would help the frequency of my ovulation (they did no bloodwork to know if I was ovulating or not). Fast forward to a year later, covid started, I hadn't lost the weight. Given that it was 12 pounds I didn't think that was a deal breaker. I had a second appointment to start the process and was told that their clinic policy was to not work with patients over a certain bmi. This was my first time hearing this. I was told that people in larger bodies are more likely go have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, etc. While that may be true I have none of those things. When I discussed with the Dr. that those were the statistics, but I, as the patient didn't have them she told me it didn't matter because it was clinic policy. She said that it was less likely I would be able to carry a baby to term based on stats for health conditions (again, none of which I have). I have since undergone IVF with Duke Fertility and have a healthy baby. Carolina Conceptions has this policy in place to bolster their live birth stats. If a clinic only takes "easy" patients then they will be less likely to have issues. I would ask the clinic make this policy public so patients don't waste their time and money meeting with doctors who have no intention of treating them. This practice does not support health at every size. If you or your partner is in a larger body or if equitable healthcare is important to you look elsewhere.

    Since I was having trouble becoming pregnant, I visited Carolina Conception last year. I met Dr. Park, and he did an amazing job. I'm here to suggest him to other women who wish to conceive. I am grateful to him for the seamless procedure; as a result, I have my baby today, and I am happier than I have ever been. Also, the nurses and the rest of the staff were outstanding as well. It's truly rewarding to become a mommy.

    Carolina Conceptions is an exceptional clinic! My husband and I received excellent care from the very start of our infertility journey. I never felt pushed to go with an option or plan I wasn't comfortable with, and I everything was always explained to us along the way. We ended up going through all the different options and found out that we needed to go with IVF. We were overjoyed to be successful in our first round. Our main doctor was Dr. Bowling, and she was incredible, kind, patient, and explained everything to us. Along our journey we would occasionally get other doctors (depending on if it was a weekend treatment) and they are all wonderful, knowledgeable and kind. In addition to great doctors, the nursing staff is wonderful! They have a number you can call with absolutely ANY questions or concerns and they always called me right back to give my advice or ease my mind. The front desk staff is so friendly and helpful, and also great with answering questions. I have had other friends who have gone to other fertility clinics, and in speaking with them, it sounds like Carolina Conceptions goes above and beyond to explain all processes and outcomes...I never felt like I was in the dark, or confused about medications--and there a lot of questions that can pop up about meds! I would 100% recommend Carolina Conceptions to anyway embarking on their infertility journey.

    Worst Doctors office I've been too. Don't expect to ACTUALLY see your doctor here. Nurses will do your ultrasounds, which means they miss if you have a polyp acting as an IUD AFTER you've done many rounds of the expensive IUI treatments. Also whoever does your ultrasound you have to actually tell them why you're there because they won't look at your chart before seeing you. Requesting to actually see your doctor in office won't get you anywhere, you have to wait til he/she can call you so there's another 100$ for a less than 5 minute phone call. Medicine doses will change randomly without even consulting patient. P.s. Don't offer military discount anymore, if you are like me and didn't even get a heads up.

    Highly recommend this group for your fertility journey! I was a patient at Carolina Conceptions for 11 months and only left because I "graduated" at 8.5 weeks with a healthy pregnancy. If it was possible, I would've wanted to stay with them my entire pregnancy! Dr. Johnson was my primary doctor, but during my time as a patient, I ended up seeing all 4 doctors for different procedures. Dr. Johnson is absolutely AMAZING and we LOVED having her as our doctor, but honestly all 4 doctors are wonderful, so you can't go wrong with any of them. After multiple miscarriages, I was a high anxiety patient, but Dr. Johnson and the staff never made me feel like I was a burden. I loved that I could email Dr. Johnson day or night and she was so quick to respond and answer any of my questions or reassure me if I was feeling anxious. Also, the entire staff (nurses, reception, lab staff) were so welcoming and reassuring. During my 11 months of MANY appointments (probably close to 100), I don't have one negative thing to say. I truly cannot say enough about how much we loved this clinic and Dr. Johnson. Go with them and you won't be disappointed!

    My review is not on the doctors' care because I never got see them. In Spring 2020, my OB sent a referral to them. I was contacted so after by "Tina" (I think that was her name). She was very thorough. We decided to postpone an initial visit due to covid. In August 2020, I called and spoke with someone in scheduling. She said I needed to fill out paperwork before she could schedule an appointment. I never received the email with the paperwork. I found out a few days later that I was pregnant, so I didn't need an appointment anyway. Fast forward to October/November 2021, my provider sent a referral to have a procedure done at this clinic. I followed up via phone call, and I was sent forms to fill out via email. After completing the paperwork, I also emailed and followed by phone (left a voicemail) because I never heard from anyone, and I needed to have the procedure at a specific time. Based on a lack of follow-up from administration, I would not recommend them unless you have time to waste.

    We wish we had come here first! We had been working with another clinic previously, and Carolina Conceptions is so much better. The folks here, from the front office staff to the nurses, doctors, and other staff members, are total pros, helpful, sensitive, empathetic, and understanding. They have made what can be such an overwhelming process so much more easy to handle, and the support they provide is so genuine and effective. Thank you!

    I absolutely love Carolina Conceptions, infertility has been a very long journey for my husband and I about 19 years. Dr. Parks office was the best decision I could have ever made, Thank you to Dr Park & his wonderful team here. This process was not an easy process, the stuff were always friendly and welcoming. Made you feel so comfortable in being able to talk to them. We are enjoying our little bundle of joy, she is 7 months now. I highly reccomend Carolina Conceptions if you are trying to conceive, Dreams do come true here at CAROLINA CONCEPTIONS.

    This practice is amazing. Great communication and service throughout our whole process of undergoing IUI from everyone that we encountered. Extra HUGE shoutout to our nurse, Mrs. Karen, for taking great care of us and being so incredibly patient and informative. We could not be more happy with the level of care rendered here. This was our very first IUI cycle and it worked!!!! Thank you Carolina Conceptions!

    My husband and I came to Carolina Conceptions after 2 years of trying to conceive. We felt like all chances were lost, but we regained hope after several meetings and tests were completed by Dr. Bowling. After 7 months of treatments (medication, trigger shot, lots of tears and prayers), we conceived our two healthy twin boys! We could not be happier with the treatment and empathy we were provided through Carolina Conceptions, we will forever be grateful that we got to grow our family in this imperfectly perfect way.

    If you're fortunate enough to have access to this clinic, it's hands down the best choice. From billing, to scheduling, to communication, to availability, I've never had a problem. I've seen multiple RE's across the nation and my best results are at this clinic. At the age of 41, I'm currently 13 weeks pregnant. After failed retrievals and transfers at other clinics, the first attempt of both brought success. Dr. Meyer was my RE for the year long process, I would have a list of questions for him with each appointment. He would answer the questions with honesty and patience. He would also send me medical journals that related to my case so I was aware of the risks and success rates of the protocols. Through the process I also had appointments with the other physicians and they are all intelligent and high capable. I cannot recommend this clinic enough and I am very fortunate to have 'stumbled' across it.

    As a first-year medical student, I had the privilege of shadowing some of the physicians, PA’s, and nurses at Carolina Conceptions. I was thoroughly impressed at how well the practice is run. Throughout my time observing, I was welcomed and treated with respect by everyone working there. The staff is extremely compassionate and works hard to meet the needs of each patient.

    They are one of the best in this area. The doctors and staff I worked with were professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. My doctor Dr. Park is extremely patient and listens to your needs. He is also one of the endocrinologists with a 5-star review in the United Health Database. I just graduated from the clinic and I look forward to working with them again in the future.

    Highly recommend Carolina Conceptions! We had the best experience working with Dr. Johnson, as well as Dr. Park and NP Karen & PA Lexie. Every visit we were welcomed with positivity from the front desk staff and continuous support from the lab techs and nurses. After three medicated IUI cycles, we are expecting our first baby thanks to the help of the incredible CC team!

    We had an amazing experience with Carolina Conceptions. Dr. Park was incredibly knowledgeable and kind through our whole time with the clinic. We were at a loss after being diagnosed with unexplained infertility, but he did a wonderful job explaining all of the options, cost implications, and success rates given our age if we were to take different routes. We ended up doing IVF and a fresh embryo transfer that led to our baby boy who was just born and is now almost a month old. We were remote patients with Carolina Conceptions, so most of our visits were virtual and we were able to do all of our monitoring closer to home just traveling to the clinic for procedures, the staff made this extremely easy and seamless working with the remote monitoring clinic. Anytime I had questions they were always returned quickly via phone call or the portal. For us it was well worth the effort of going to Carolina Conceptions from out of town! We also saw Dr. Johnson and Dr. Meyer during our round of IVF and they were both wonderful as well. We are so thankful for all of the staff that helped make our miracle possible.

    After years of infertility we decided to undergo IVF. As I am writing this my son ,who we welcomed in June of 2023, is laying in my lap. Dr. Park and the other staff were awesome. They lay everything out for you that you need to do for success and are honest about what your chances of success are, as well as your options. The online portal is easy to use. We were very pleased with our experience and they made our dreams come true.

    Great experience! They quickly diagnosed my issue and helped me conceive within four months of my initial consult with the least invasive treatment. They took my insurance and my treatment was super affordable. They can always get you in really quickly and offer virtual appts. as an option if you’re not needing to be seen in person. I didn’t give it five stars because they don’t have an online patient portal and trying to get info. on next steps requires emailing your doctor or leaving a voicemail for a triage nurse to call you back. All in all I’m very happy; I just gave birth to a healthy girl and will definitely use them to conceive any future children. Definitely ask your gynecologist for a referral to this clinic if you are having or anticipate having any difficulties conceiving.

    After 3 losses and multiple doctors, going to Dr. Johnson and going through our options was our best choice. She went over every diagnostic, option, and answered all our questions. Now my husband and I are expecting our first baby with their help and we can't be happier! I'm so sad to be moving on to my regular OB but very thankful this team was here for my family.

    Thank you to Carolina Conceptions and Dr Park. They were tremendously helpful through our infertility and IVF journey. The office was very responsive and Dr. Park took plenty of time explaining all of our treatment options and answering all of our questions. Thanks to Carolina Conceptions we just welcomed our healthy baby girl! Infertility is so difficult to navigate but I think the care at Carolina Conceptions is excellent and I would highly recommend the practice and Dr Park in particular!

    We switched to Carolina Conceptions from another clinic in late 2022 and were very happy with our experience with Dr. Johnson! We felt the office was very on top of everything including scheduling, billing, etc and we had a great experience with IVF. We welcomed our baby in August 2023!

    I would not have my little girl today if it wasn't for Carolina conceptions. Everyone at the office was so incredibly kind and patient. They listened to all of my concerns and helped me every step of the way on my fertility journey. I cannot recommend them enough!

    Carolina conceptions is a wonderful clinic. All the doctors, specifically Dr. Myers, truly care about your journey and success. From the beginning Dr. Myers was straight to the point with a protocol and along the way, him and all the other doctors, made sure I was aware of everything that was going on and changed things as needed. We had success with our first round of IVF. Dr. Myers was easy to get a hold of (even answering emails on vacation!). The staff at the front desk was easy to work with, friendly, and worked really closely with us along the way given we were paying out of pocket. Overall, our experience with Carolina Conceptions was a positive one and we highly recommend them to anyone struggling with infertility and looking for success along the way. You will experience nothing but positivity, kindness, and support along the way. There’s no better clinic in the Raleigh area.

    I’ve been a patient a Carolina conceptions since 2019. I was seen by Dr.Bowling and she did a full work-up I was found to have a uterine septum and endometriosis. The best treatment for me was to do IVF I moved forward with this treatment and at first I wanted to wait we used other treatment options like medication first. I was able to successfully get pregnant through IVF. Dr. Bowling was very patient with me I really was negative and didn’t think I would be a mom but she always encouraged me to keep trying! She told me “women that become mothers don’t give up” so I didn’t give up! I highly recommend this clinic. Dr Parker is also very nice and knowledgeable I was seen with him a few times. The office staff is very friendly and my favorite nurse was Courtney she is very compassionate and knowledgeable about infertility. I also really connected with Sandra the financial supervisor she is very down to earth! And easy to talk too! I also recommend to look on the CDC before choosing a fertility clinic you’ll find that this is one of the best in NC.
