    We received care in December 2021 and January 2022 with Ohio Reproductive Medicine. Dr. Kennard was our primary physician. We met with her via telehealth and explained our concerns regarding fertility. Instead of making us feel as though she cared, she spent the first 13 minutes of our appointment telling us that we were "grandma killers" because we were not yet vaccinated for COVID. She eventually stopped when my husband asked her if she was billing us for this lecture. Our initial appointment ended with recommendations for medication and standard fertility treatment procedures. We began following protocol from a distance, due to COVID. Eventually, I became pregnant. My husband and I were overjoyed! This is what we came here for. We thought that ORM would share our sentiment. We immediately scheduled an ultrasound with them. We got in contact with my regular OB, who was worried about the pregnancy due to low progesterone. We feared the worst, but were looking forward to at least seeing a picture of our baby if anything. We had our appointment for the ultrasound with Dr. Kennard in January 2022. When we entered the office, my husband was immediately kicked out. "No family members allowed!" they said. I tried to explain that this might be the only time my husband and I could see our baby, and I wanted to experience my first ultrasound and pregnancy with my husband by my side. The front desk staff refused. We decided it was fine, COVID was a difficult time for everyone. When I got to the ultrasound room, I was crying a bit. Dr Kennard entered the room. She took one look at me and told me to “suck it up” and that it was not a big deal. She looked at the fetus and said that it doesn’t look like it’s developing correctly. I wasn’t surprised, but still somewhat heartbroken by the news. I asked her for a printout picture. She responded with “Why? Nothing is there anyway, I just said that.” I was stunned. How could anyone say such a thing? I didn’t know what to say, and was still crying, so I just said I wanted one anyway. I got out of the clinic as soon as possible. My entire experience with this clinic has been a nightmare. Please, look for another provider if you are even remotely considering this place. At the very least, please know what Dr. Kennard is really like. I don’t want any couple to go through the same thing we did. The fertility journey is difficult enough, and it doesn’t need to be complicated by blatant unprofessionalism, poor bedside manner, and incompetent staff.

    Very caring Dr. I'm always impressed with how much time she devotes to explaining things to us and how concerned she is with physical and emotional well-being. Up to date on emerging approaches to fertility issues. Amazing staff.
