Reviews

The reviews about ARMS on Google Business are very positive.

Manal, for example, describes Dr. Moffitt as empathetic and patient. He detected her fertility problem without any initial tests. Thanks to the clinic she was finally able to get pregnant after a hard miscarriage experience. Jazmin was also patient for two years at ARMS. The staff is genuine and sweet. Employee Liz, who works with egg donors, makes the process pleasant. According to Jazmin, she doesn't feel treated like a number in contrary to what happens at other clinics. Another User N was able to get pregnant at the second IVF attempt with an adjusted protocol despite having a low ovarian reserve.
