Testimonials

Excerpts from our patients

We are so grateful for the work of the clinic in bringing out baby into the world. We feel so blessed.
Thanks so much for all your kindness and care.
Thank you for all you have done for is through our IVF journey. You have gone above and beyond what we would have expected you to and you have been a great source of calmness, reassurance, and understanding. From calling us with bad news to then calling a week later to make sure we were alright, you made a hard situation a little better by making us feel we weren't alone. In the transfer and seeing two heartbeats and reassuring a nervous and scared patient with kind words and ultrasound after ultrasound. You have been a key person through all of this for us, and not just because you are making a dream possible. You have seen us through all the highs and lows and never treated any of it as insignificant. So, this is not just a thank you, but a way to tell you that your generous acts of kindness have not gone unnoticed and everything you have done for us has not been taken for granted. Thank you for everything.
Thank you so much for all that you've done for us. We cannot express how grateful we are for everything you have done.
Regardless of the outcomes, your thoughtfulness, compassion and caring attitudes are very appreciated.
Thank you for the wonderful "magic" you performed to make our becoming parents possible. It was a long rod to travel, but we can happily sat if was worth every effort to bring our beautiful daughter into our lives. We are very grateful to you and the donor to whom we are forever indebted. Please extend our utmost thanks to her. She and you have transformed our lives in a way we never thought possible. Your help and encouragement made all the difference for us and our son would not be here if we had not met you.
Your technical expertise is obvious by my thickening waistline but beyond that is your patient concern and sensitivity. We never realized how we would grow as individuals as we went through this process...and your guidance helped us to do that.
Hi Dr. Lindheim--Just a quick not to let you know you are counted among my blessings at Thanksgiving. You have brought such job to our life with out little miracle boy. He is 10 months and all boy-go-go-go!!! He is happy, healthy, very spoiled, and such fun. I will send you my thoughts on the IVF donor process as you requested. I did not forget, just always so busy. Thanks again for all you have done. Have a wonderful holiday season.
Baby K is due and we eagerly await her arrival! We feel exceedingly fortunate to be expecting a baby. What a profound impact your hard work has made on our lives. THANK YOU!
We came to you, medical records in hand. Our last physician said, “don’t try again it’s probably an egg problem or endometriosis.”

My knowledge and gut told me that was incorrect. You listened and reviewed my records with us. You told us what we already felt, that you would do things better and differently. There were no promises made but we knew that after 3 years of trying, someone was finally sharing their vast knowledge and saying “I would give it another try if you were my wife.”

With apprehension and numerous failures fresh in our heart and mind, we took a leap of faith with you and your staff. Each visit became more comfortable because we believed in your experience and that of the other staff. After a mini meltdown during one visit, you explained to me how out of so many patients, you remembered me specifically. “I got misinformed.” You understood my feelings completely and told me so through that story.

We feel blessed to have had the courage to seek out another opinion and to have found you. You have a gift of wisdom but just as important, a gift of being able to educate, especially with the many pictures that helped us follow your words.

We take each day in this pregnancy with the knowledge that it is precious. We hoped and prayed that we would someday be in this situation and we are finally here. We know there will be more hurdles ahead but feel the longest part of the race is behind us and we could not have run it without you coaching us along. For you and your family we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Our sincere thanks.
Thank you so much for all that you’ve done for E and I during our IVF process. We both respect you immensely – your technical expertise is obvious by my thickening waistline yippee!) – but beyond that is your patient concern and sensitivity. We never realized how we would grow as individuals as we went through this process – and your guidance has helped us to do that. Your explanations and clear options helped us to make decisions that have led us toward an expanding family, and also helped us to further understand our own perspectives on my “life issues.” We always felt like people – not parents – in your care.

Thank you for the many wonderful gifts that you have given us. Please feel free to use our names for future patients who may want to talk. Very Sincerely.
Wow! What an amazing career you have. C and I want to thank you for your personal care and guidance that you have given us throughout our process to help heather and Steve become parents. You have made such a difference n our lives already.

While it’s hard to believe that nine months have passed since our last visit with you, it’s even more incredible to think about how much that visit has changed our lives. Because of remarkable efforts, a dream that had almost flickered out was brought back to life by you, your staff, and our very special donor. Now, on the eve of the birth of our child, we want to take the opportunity to send our most heartfelt expression of appreciation to all of you.

As you might guess, the past months have seemed like a roller coaster ride of emotional ups and downs ranging from total elation to near panic and everything is between. Yet, throughout, we’ve focused our attention on upholding our part of the silent bargain to do everything possible to assure that this experience results is a healthy, happy baby! Now, it simply seems like a good time to say thanks you for giving us such an amazing chance.

Thank you, Dr. Lindheim, for resurrecting out hope. Your consideration, professionalism, empathy, and humor have impressed us the whole way through. We appreciate many aspects of the working relationship. You were direct and through in out living our options from the beginning. Little things like follow-up calls (made by you) and acknowledging the value of our mutual superstitious were important. It relaxed us to know that our own quirky behavior (i.e., burying eggs in the garden, etc.) may have positively contributed to the powerful unknown forces that made this baby possible, and that we hope will continue to assist it is its successful journey to birth and through life.

We would especially like to thank our incredible donor. Her astounding kindness has brought us much happiness during these past nine months. Words on paper seem insufficient because she has given us something rather priceless. We hope that you will forward to her our deepest expression of thanks for giving us this miraculous opportunity. Her courage and generosity will forever be appreciated. While the usual decorum may have called for a note of thanks on or soon after the transfer, our superstitious concerns inhibited us from communicating our gratitude until now. Here was the most remarkable act of selfless giving that we could possibly imagine.

As closing, it’s been quiet a journey and one that we both clearly recognize couldn’t have been taken without the help of this special person as well as that of a very special group of wonderful people. Sp, on the eve of the baby’s birth, we send you all warm and heartfelt thanks. We pray that all goes well not only during these last few hours of pregnancy, but that good fortune follows this little person throughout a long and fruitful life. And, to you, may all your wonderful deeds be awarded. The same good fortune!
We feel fortunate to have had you as our physician. You are unique combination of warmth and brilliance, plus great humor. We fondly recall our time with you. You will be in our hearts forever. Warmest regards.
