TESTIMONIALS

What They’re

Saying

Dr. Monica Schointuch is an exceptional provider. She is very detailed, knowledgeable, and is very kind and passionate. She is amazing and is exactly the kind of provider I have been looking for. She is transparent and answers all my questions while still providing support and encouragement. She really cares about her patients and seems to make a difference.

I could write a novel, however to sum this up … my husband and I went through every emotion possible. We tried anything and everything (from positions, medicines, etc.) and finally after 7 years of infertility, 2 miscarriages, and 3 IUIs later, Carolina Conceptions helped my husband & I get our rainbow baby! He’s now 2 months old (as of tomorrow) and I couldn’t be more thankful for every moment we’ve had with him. He’s the best thing to ever happen to us and is growing like a weed already. I remember the first moment we heard his heart beat and all the things we had to go through just to get to this point.

I was cleaning out my 6 month old’s dresser today and came across our “graduation gift” which was a baby hat and magnet. And it reminded me to write my review. So here it is. We are extremely grateful for Carolina Conceptions. Everyone there, from the receptionists to the Drs were so kind and empathetic to our situation. We had struggled for 2 years of unexplained fertility before this. We realize we were extremely blessed by getting pregnant on our first IUI try. It was a blessing to find a clinic like Carolina Conceptions. We now have a 6 month old (today!) and cannot believe how much joy he has brought to our lives. We will forever be grateful to CC for helping us through this process.

I am beyond grateful to Carolina Conceptions and Dr. Schointuch for helping me finally achieve my dream of becoming a parent after years of struggles with other fertility clinics. From day one, the staff was incredibly welcoming, professional, and supportive. They made me feel at ease and encouraged throughout every step of the process. The personalized care and attention I received gave me the confidence I needed during such an emotional journey. I can’t thank Dr. Schointuch and the entire team enough for making this dream come true. I highly recommend Carolina Conceptions to anyone struggling with fertility—they truly care and are amazing at what they do!
