David E. Simckes's Online Review Report Card

I flew over 4,000 miles from Hawaii to begin treatment with Dr. Simckes for Ovarian Rejuvenation/Platelet Rich Plasma, which is currently considered an experimental treatment and my VA health insurance refused to cover it. Unlike my local fertility clinic - who kept pushing donor eggs - Dr. Simckes took the time to explain to me options beyond utilizing an egg donor. I am 44 years old with a history of infertility - I have at least one blocked Fallopian tube and endometriosis - I just had 75% of my left ovary surgically removed five months ago due to a gigantic ovarian cyst…To summarize, I have less than a 1% chance of conceiving using my own eggs without the Ovarian Rejuventation/PRP treatment due to extremely poor ovarian reserve and poor egg quality due to my advanced maternal age. Dr. Simckes listened to me, explained he charges less than half what other fertility clinics charge for this novel treatment because he’s not in it for the money but to help folks (which is why he went to medical school), and explained he offers novel treatments to women in their mid 40s because other fertility clinics have told them donor eggs are their ONLY option. International clinical research indicates maternal age is not an issue when PRP “awakens” dormant eggs. I am so very impressed by Dr. Simckes and his amazing staff that I will be returning for two more Ovarian Rejuventation/PRP treatments in August and September; I even volunteered to be part of the clinical study that Dr. Simckes is organizing. Dr. Simckes was incredibly gentle and KIND during both my appointments, and took time to LISTEN to me and answer ALL of my questions. It’s been four days since my procedure, which is not nearly as invasive or painful as Egg Retrieval, and I have had some light spotting and cramping. To me and my husband, the $5K investment in three PRP treatments is worth it - Ovarian Rejuvenation WORKS - and we intend to complete two IVF cycles with Dr. Simckes before considering the egg donor option. Hopefully we will be able to conceive utilizing my eggs and have a beautiful baby within 18 months! Baby dust or bust 🤰🏼🍼✨✨✨.

Great Doctor. Answered all our questions patiently and his positive attitude was almost infectious. He restored our faith that parenthood was right around the corner for us. Extremely empathetic and professional staff. Received ovarian PRP and it was a great experience. Too soon to comment on its effects, but overall I highly recommend seeking Dr. Simckes's advice for all your fertility needs.

My wife’s trip was arduous, culminating with the final 13 weeks on hospitalized bedrest and the delivery at 32 weeks of our twin sons. Dr. Simcke’s bedside manner isn’t for everyone - he is honest, forthright and “tells it like it is”. On the other side, is a loving, caring physician and a wonderful human. One of my son’s is named after Elan and my wife’s high-risk OB, Dr. Michael Paul. The boys are about to be college sophomores. I will end our story here. I understand it may seem trite or cheesy, but without him, and Dr. Paul, none of this happens. I wish all of you success in your journeys. The pain of loss will be overcome and there will be joy and happiness on the other side. All The Best.

At our first initial consultation, he probably spent two hours with us. He was encouarging, told us we'd get pregnant very quickly. However, every other appointment after was extremely rushed, and I constantly had to remind him who I was (despite seeing him almost every other day for ultrasounds). I never felt like all of my questions were answered and always felt like I was bothering the unkind staff. The biggest problem however was when he deviated from the plan. We were going to do a series of tests before beginning IUI. I received a call that we were moving forward with IUI before the tests. Was never told why. We began treatment with a rather high dose of medication - which resulted in my producing over 6 follicles. I was then asked about selective reduction and as we were not ok with it, the cycle was cancelled. I was repeatedly berated for my decision. To add insult to injury, he admitted he didnt read my chart and we should have done the tests first. We will not be returning.

Our journey started with Dr. Simckes in 2019 and now our boy is almost 18 months old. Six months of treatments with our local fertility clinic lead us to no progress and no results. We decided to search other fertility clinics. Dr. Simckes has one of the highest reviews and one of the best bedside manners of them all. We had to travel several trips but it was the best decision we ever made. This is one exceptional, heart-warming doctor, who deeply cares, listens to you and is willing to think out of box to help in all the ways he can. Dr. Simckes asks very detailed questions and relates to his patients on a personal level. Additionally, the staff in the office is amazing. We cannot say enough good things about Denise. She is so kind, caring, and makes you feel like you are a priority with her prompt responses to all your questions. Our experience has been absolutely wonderful and we really feel that Dr. Simckes is a blessing to us. He is very thorough in his conversations with you, never making you feel like he is in a hurry and needs to get to the next patient. Everything from having your own fertility coach to Dr. Simckes’ constant research and desire to learn more about how to help you achieve a successful pregnancy, all set him far above other fertility doctors. We are forever grateful for Dr. Simckes and his staff. They are such a blessing to our entire family!

After two years of trying, we became pregnant through IVF with genetic testing on the first try with Fertility Partnership. Dr. Simckes really cares about his patients and made me feel comfortable. He didn’t treat us like a number like another nearby (and way more expensive) office did. Dr. Simckes took the time to figure out our specific fertility struggles and gave us the tools to combat those issues. Now we have our beautiful, perfect baby and we couldn’t ever thank him enough for what he’s given us. The greatest gift of all. Our hearts are so full.

The worst experience I've ever had with a doctor!
