Fora Fertility's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Skillern, Dr. Crawford and all of their staff are absolutely amazing. They all are brilliant, honest, compassionate and so dang funny!! We felt so ‘seen’ and knew they were our biggest and loudest cheerleader. Our journey was not all butterflies and rainbows, but we now have our spunky, sassy and beautiful little girl. Our one regret is not finding Fora Fertility sooner❣️

Dr. Skillern makes you feel calm in a stressful situation. Her bedside manner is wonderful. I really appreciate being able to work with her through my IVF.

Words can’t fully capture how grateful I am to my clinic, @forafertility, and their incredible team. After so much hope, uncertainty, and waiting, my journey here led to a successful embryo transfer—and now, to my pregnancy. This has truly been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. From my very first appointment, I felt seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. My doctor, nurses, and every member of the staff showed not only exceptional professionalism, but also deep compassion. They celebrated each small milestone with me, reassured me during moments of anxiety, and guided me with patience and kindness every step of the way. On the day of my embryo transfer, I felt calm and confident because I knew I was in the best hands. The care, precision, and dedication of the team gave me an incredible sense of peace. And when I learned the transfer was successful, I knew I had them to thank for their expertise and unwavering support. This journey has been truly life-changing, and I am now joyfully expecting. I will forever be grateful to Fora Fertility for helping my family reach this moment and for being such an important part of this miracle❤️

Dr. Crawford and Dr. Skillern and all of the staff at Fora are so so incredible. I have been to nearly every clinic in Austin over an 8 year period, and Fora is the best: so straightforward, fact-driven, humble, hopeful, and determined to help their patients achieve their dreams for their families. I am a fangirl of Dr. Skillern and Crawford for life - these women are working science miracles, and doing it with class and love. At Fora we did IUIs, egg freezing (two cycles), and 1 IVF cycle. Each step of the way we were treated with the upmost care, empathy, and patience. Both my husband and I like to ask a lot of questions, and everyone always took their time to explain processes and medications to us. I cannot imagine the fortitude these nurses and providers must have to do this day in, day out, with all the extreme ups and downs of this kind of work, and still maintain such kindness and joy for all of the patients they see. I am so grateful for their grounding presence. Best of luck to whoever is reading this on your journey to growing your family. It's a hard choice to decide what fertility clinic to work with - these bets are eye-wateringly expensive and emotionally fraught - but I believe you're in good hands at Fora.

Fora has been great during my surrogate journey! Everything is new to me and everyone at the clinic has been informative, scheduling is great, check in and smooth process during appointments. Dr. Crawford and her team are amazing.

I really loved working with the Fora team on my fertility journey. I didn’t know much about fertility treatments the first time I stepped into their office, but I immediately felt welcomed by everyone. As a beginner to this world, I truly appreciated the information and educational content provided before treatment began—it helped me feel confident and mentally prepared for what was ahead. Appointments were efficient, and the patient portal was amazing for keeping everything organized in one place. Most importantly, I genuinely felt cared for by the entire team. Every visit and interaction was friendly, encouraging, and reassuring. I am so thankful for their work, as it has given me a sweet little boy to love—and hold in just six short months. While IVF was never part of my "plan," I’m so grateful I found Fora to help make the journey easier. I look forward to seeing them all again when it's time for baby number 2!

Fora Fertility has been a true light for us in a challenging journey, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From day one, the care and professionalism at Fora have been exceptional. Dr. Amanda Skillern has been our anchor: compassionate, clear, and incredibly thoughtful in every step of our fertility process. She took the time to really understand our history and tailored a plan that made us feel seen, safe, and hopeful. A huge shout out to our amazing care team: Rikki, Hannah, and Savannah, our coordinators and main supporters who handled every detail with empathy, precision, and so much heart. Whether it was answering questions, adjusting schedules, or just offering a kind word on hard days, they were there every step of the way. Even our anesthesiologist, Dr. Cohan, made a big impression. His calm energy and professionalism during retrieval helped ease a lot of anxiety. We felt truly cared for by the entire surgical team. We’re still in the middle of our journey, but thanks to Fora, we feel like we’re walking it with the best possible team beside us. Thank you all for making something so difficult feel a little more gentle, a little more human, and a lot more hopeful.

We LOVED Dr Skillern, Rikki and the entire staff while we were in their care. IVF was not our only option but felt like the right fit for us having had been TTC for over 9 years. We now have 2 beautiful healthy babies (who both took on their 1st transfers) and it really is thanks to this wonderful team! We really can not thank y'all enough!

Undergoing an egg freezing procedure at Fora was the best choice I could have made for myself and my health! Dr. Skillern, Dr. Crawford, Rikki and the entire nursing team made me feel so taken care of during the entire process. I love that the clinic felt like a family, I felt so looked after and had incredible results. Fora took the stress out of what typically is a quite stressful process and I’m so grateful to the team and happy I chose them as my fertility clinic of choice!

We spent several years at another large fertility clinic with no success. We were beyond exhausted, disappointed, heartbroken, and ready to call it quits. After a year long pause we contacted our insurance company to see if any other Austin area clinics were in network for a possible switch. Fora was on the list so we decided to meet with Dr. Crawford for a consultation and see if there was something our previous doctor may have missed and if there was any possibility of a viable pregnancy for us. Dr. Crawford took the time to read through years of fertility treatment records and was so warm, compassionate, and honest when speaking with us. She believed there were some things that were missed and could be done differently in my individualized treatment plan. We left the consultation meeting feeling hopeful and after many long conversations decided to try IVF one more time. We officially switched clinics and it was the absolute best decision we've ever made. The entire staff at Fora is so kind and professional. Dr. Crawford and her nursing team (Hannah, Savannah, and Mel) were always in sync and always on time. I especially appreciated the early morning appointments for monitoring and bloodwork as they were easy to schedule and squeeze in before work. The portal was foolproof and the nurses were very quick to respond when I had questions. They make you feel like a person not just a number. Although Dr. Crawford is my primary doctor, we had the opportunity to meet Dr. Skillern for my egg retrieval and a few monitoring appointments. She and her nurse Rikki were just as wonderful too. All this to say, after 6 years of fertility treatments, I'm writing this review with a healthy 10 month old. We would not have this precious baby without Dr. Crawford. Her expertise and personalized care changed our lives and there are no words to properly thank her and the team. If you're just starting your fertility journey or on the fence about switching clinics give Fora a chance. They may just change your life for the better. Thank you forever Dr. Crawford and the Fora team!
