Amy R. Criniti's Online Review Report Card

I went for a visit. She prescribed me letrazol and then the shot to ovulate. Then when I tried to schedule a visit for the next day to receive the shot to ovulate for Bellevue (at this point I thought I had to go back to the bellevue office the next day, why would I go somewhere else right?) they said they only had an opening in Kirkland at 11 AM the next day. I had a work meeting I couldn't miss also Kirkland was waaaay out of my way, I had to fight with the receptionist and nurses because I could have made other arrangements if I had known this before. The day of my IUI Dr. Criniti wasn't available, instead there was a jr. nurse who did'nt know what she was doing and never had done this before. I was crying and didn't hear from Dr. Criniti or anyone from SRM after that experience. Save your money and find yourself another doctor. I tried to get my money back and didn't hear a thing from them. Dr. Criniti isn't professional, she proceeded to prescribe me without knowing my health history.

She is systematic and resolved all my pregnancy related obstacles/issues .Had wonderful and result oriented experience with Dr Amy Criniti . Finally Its a baby boy for us after 13 years of long waiting... Thanks to Criniti for her support and caring...and I would recommend as excellent doctor for all un-explained infertility problems. She is always smiley, reachable and explains in detail about the problem.

If it wasn't for Dr. Criniti my fertility experience may not have been as easy. It's a very emotional and physical experience and her warm and caring spirit and optimism is really helps make a difference. She is so knowledgeable and instead of waiting for you to ask the questions, she thoroughly walks you through each step of the way explaining everything making you feel at ease with each process. I had success after IVF and while I was ecstatic to be graduating from the fertility clinic I was sad to be leaving Dr. Criniti. She is such a wonderful doctor.

Dr. Criniti was not only completely thorough and careful in her evaluation, but she also took the time to explain everything very carefully. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any fertility-related concerns.

Dr. Criniti, helped us conceive two children. We worked with her through two pregnancies over a four year period. She is geniune. Her heart and manner were a gift to two stressed out adults who wanted to have children. She made it real for us. We opted for additional genetic screening. We were a little skeptical, but during my wife's first pregnancy, she said that the screening gave her additional comfort and really helped with stress of baby making. She has our thanks and unending gratitude. She also works in a first class clinic - SRM. Tops all around. The very best!!!

Dr. Amy is the BEST - doctor - person...

I read the previous opinion a few weeks ago, and agreed with a bit of what they said, especially wishing Criniti would help "adjust my expectations" by providing more numbers. I asked her about this, and she explained -in fewer words- that every patient has different numbers, issues and stats, and that should would like to patient to focus more on the best way to treat her situation.I have had may diff experiences than the previous author, and am under Criniti's care right now! 1) As for the franchise comment, I believe that there is a small group of these doc offices, but am finding it more a benefit than a criticism. If your doc isnt available, there will be a doc who is. Further, my guess is that the larger the practice, the more likely there is to be more expensive/better equipment, and more chance for constant training protocols.2) I think it is a bit rough to rate a whole practice based upon a single doc. If that was fair, Criniti woulod mean an amazing clinic, and one of the males with whome I have dealt would make this place the pits3) Here is where I would agree with previous rater: More doc appts are necessary. As the clinic reminds us so regularly, this is a trying time, and a very difficult and scientific process. Access to nurses is a great benefit, but they do not always have the answers, nor do they have the ability advise us with the benefit of an extensive MD background. I would go so far as to say, some of the calls they are asked to make, should'nt be made by them. In fairness I had a medical issue, with which I buged her own her own time, and she was great! 2)Thanks to Criniti for being a calming, level headed and intelligent doctor and resourse. I have always found her honest and forthcoming.3)Perhaps it is best to focus on what is important- she knows her stuff, and I find out really soon if we were successful!4) About those stats, note that SRM has (according to SART and the CDC) many more complex cases that other local clincs, making their numbers lower. If you use the drop down menu at SART, you can compare the numbers with YOUR specific issue (my is ovary problems)their numbers are actually muck higher than others.! So, if a clinic cherry picks patients, then their results will be aritificially inflated.So, I fully recommend Doc Criniti, and if all the docs at the clinic were like her, there would be a lot of happy women going through IVF -TM

After spendind $18K+ on my IVF, I found out that Seattle Reproductive has the lowest success rates in our area. Some of the nurses were great, some a little grumpy. Also, SR is a chain docs clinic, not an independant. I rarely saw Criniti, her nurses do all the work. Almost reminded me of the Wizard in wizard of oz! I also never got straight answers about my condition or chances. If they were low, I would still have moved forward, but would have adjusted my expectations. If I saw Criniti more often, and felt like she was invested as a doctor, I would have felt better handled. For the pain, emotions and cost, I would have appreciated more attention and honesty.

Dr Criniti is very knowledgeable and thorough, and she has a wonderfully warm and supportive style. Her follow-up and responsiveness were incredible. I would recommend her to anyone seeking medical assistance with fertility issues.
