Reviews of Audubon Fertility

Sara Richard

Audubon Fertility has been the best fertility clinic I’ve worked with. My hometown clinic in Lafayette is wonderful, but I chose Audubon for special reasons and it has been a blessing from day one. Audubon’s staff are compassionate, knowledgeable, and responsive. Their communications through the patient portal are extremely quick and informative. Dr. Wells and Dr. Ulrich are outstanding physicians in the field of reproductive medicine. If you don’t believe me, just look up their credentials. They keep appointments on time without making the patient feel rushed, and I feel heard and understood by each of them. They take the time to provide the best possible care to each patient. And their professionalism shows through Audubon’s considerate, educated, and well-trained staff. Through the emotional highs and lows that are inevitable in fertility treatment, Drs. Wells and Ulrich have always treated me with dignity and compassion, while providing research-based options to guide my journey. No question is too small for them. People sometimes complain about pricing but out-of-pocket fertility care is simply expensive. I am so glad to have found Audubon and worked with them these last several months. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking fertility treatment.

Dr. Wells and nurse Debbie were absolutely amazing. We never felt like a number at Audubon Fertility. They were always compassionate. The care was outstanding and successful. And our questions were always answered promptly and thoroughly. If I had a question, I knew who to reach out to and that I would get an answer fast. And I had a lot of questions throughout the process. We cant thank AF enough for giving us our baby. Would definitely recommend them to a friend.

MELANIE HARMON

My husband and I are SO grateful for the entire team at Audubon Fertility! Infertility is one of the hardest things to go through, but having a doctor who understands that makes the process so much easier. Dr. Wells and her team walked us through everything they recommended for my husband and I. From the very start of our treatment we were able to build a trusting relationship with Dr. Wells. My health and concerns were ALWAYS their first priority. After just the first IUI procedure performed, We are now expecting our first baby boy due in April! We cannot wait to meet our miracle, and it is all thanks to Dr. Wells. I honestly could not have asked for a better doctor and team to go through this with. They are professional, knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate. I trusted Dr. Wells and her team in all of my aspects of my care. I cannot express into words how much joy Dr. Wells and her team has brought to our family! I would highly recommend Audubon Fertility to anybody. This has been the best decision my husband and I have ever made!

Frannie Cowan

We had such an amazing experience with Dr wells and the entire Audubon staff. It was apparent in our first consultation how personally invested she is in her patients, and she was very present to discuss all of our options. The portal made contacting nurses and staff with questions during the IVF retrieval and transfer process quick and efficient. We felt like we were in good and safe hands the entire length of our treatment. We thanks Dr Wells and the amazing staff at Audubon everyday for the gift of our miracle baby boy.

Dr. Wells and her staff (especially Debbie) were great. Our process was smooth and efficient. Dr. Wells recommended a fertility plan that she believed would give us the highest success rate and it did!! Now we have a beautiful baby boy (and 3 frozen siblings). We did have a few issues with being billed for something already paid for in our package, but they were fast to help resolve the issues. I could not recommend Audubon Fertility enough. They were wonderful.

Monique Becnel

Dr. Wells and her team were, and still are, knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and fully invested in our care and having a positive outcome. They made sure we always knew and understood every step and procedure and were empathetic to our situation. They treated us like family and we felt so comfortable being there. The environment and offices are calming and very clean. I have actually already recommended Dr. Wells to a friend, and she loves Dr. Wells as well!

Kristy JJS

Dr. Wells and her team are amazing! The fertility journey can be trying at times and Dr Wells' entire team, from the receptionists to the doctors, are willing to help in any way the can and encourage you along the way. Dr. Wells will work as best she can to get you results. I have recommended Audubon Fertility to everyone I know who is looking for a fertility dr. Thanks again to Dr Wells and the entire team for all of your help!

Janelle B

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr.Wells and her team at Audubon. I went to Audubon after an unpleasant experience at another fertility practice. The team at Audubon were so supportive and warm throughout my fertility journey. I never had to wait long for appointments and I always felt encouraged by the doctors and nurses. I highly recommend this practice for those struggling with fertility- you will be in good hands!

Ellen Smith Briscoe

We did treatments for two embyro transfers. Dr. Wells made sure we understood the procedures and likely hood of success. The clinic was great about discussing all treatment options with us once we were diagnosed with cause of infertility. Clinic staff always returned calls, and were helpful making sure that everything was in line to get medications/procedures covered

Laura Carroll

Infertility is such a delicate matter filled with frustration and high emotions. Dr Wells and her staff truly understand that this goes far beyond science and medicine. It is about creating/growing a family. We are eternally grateful to Audubon and can't recommend them enough!

Brittan Edge

Was amazing throughout the entire process. Cannot wait to meet our little boy. Dr. Wells and her team were phenomenal and helped answer all my questions. We were able to have a successful retrieval and transfer. So thankful that found them and was able to travel to go to this clinic.

Kaleigh Newman

We had a great experience at Audubon Fertility. If we lived in town we would use them for our next child. Dr. Wells and her staff were awesome to work with. A special thanks for Morgan our NP for helping us get pregnant with our little girl!

Raejean Gray

Audubon Fertility provided us with a wonderful experience through our IVF journey. The nurses made every visit very comfortable. The doctors take their time to answer any and all questions and talk through all possible options with various treatments and procedures. I believe our care team was truly the reason we were successful in our second try and will be welcoming a baby girl in May!

Joanna

We would be lying if we said we loved the clinic (who loves infertility right?!?) but we do love the staff and the care we received from the clinic. We felt well cared for. We did treatments that included medications, injections, and IUIs to list a few. We had some losses, but are forever grateful for our baby girl. Every day we watch her grow… I’m so thankful for the life of motherhood the clinic helped achieve. They don’t forget about you when you graduate either. We had a natural pregnancy occur years later. I was scared because my regular OB couldn’t see me for a few weeks. I called the clinic and they had appointments for the same day. They truly care for you and your baby’s wellbeing physically and mentally.

Stephanie Gamble

Thank you Audubon! Spoiler alert: We have two beautiful boys, all thanks to Audubon Fertility. After about 15 months of struggling with fertility, including several failed Clomid treatments with my OB/gyn, my husband and I were told we needed to seek treatment at a fertility clinic if we wanted a family. It felt like such defeat — I had failed as a woman. Nonetheless, we made the call to Audubon, and we’ve never made a better decision. It still wasn’t easy. But Dr. Wells and her team wouldn’t give up (even when I was ready to do so) until they figured out a way to get us pregnant. Now we have two beautiful and amazing boys. We cannot imagine our lives without them. If you’re at all considering fertility treatment, pick up the phone now and give Audubon Fertility a call.

Alyssa Bergeron

We love Audubon Fertility. An IVF journey can be very difficult but they made us feel very comfortable and cared for the entire time. The staff and doctors are amazing and extremely knowledgeable!

Murelle Farmer

We began our Fertility journey in 2015 when I was 35, after a year of trying with my partner with no success. We referenced the SART website to find somewhere in New Orleans and Audubon Fertility / Dr. Wells was a provider listed there. I'm so glad that we found them! We were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. We discussed various options with Dr. Wells in our initial consultation and decided that a first course of action could be IUI with ovarian stimulation to produce more follicles. We had a few unsuccessful rounds, and one pregnancy that unfortunately ended in miscarriage. We tried one more IUI that didn't succeed and we were tired, so we took a break from Fertility for a couple years. I love that Audubon didn't push us in any particular direction or pressure us to proceed with IVF immediately following the IUIs. In early 2018 when I was almost 38 we conceived naturally but the pregnancy ended in miscarriage without explanation. Given our recurrent miscarriages we decided it might be time to explore Fertility again, and discussed options with Dr. Wells. We agreed that IVF along with genetic testing of the embryos would be best to rule out any genetic factors in our losses. We went through a round of egg retrieval, ended up with 8 embryos after insemination, and after genetic testing we had 4 viable embryos. I'm so glad that the genetic testing was suggested, given that we had only about 50% viable embryos. Our first frozen embryo transfer was in June 2018, which resulted in the birth of our son in March 2019, just before my 39th birthday. We decided to go for another and had our second frozen embryo transfer in New Orleans in August 2020 which resulted in the birth of our daughter in April 2021, just before my 41st birthday. We actually had moved out of state by that time and I'm so glad we continued under the care of Audubon Fertility (I flew back to Nola for the FET) who ordered our bloodwork and ultrasounds with local labs/radiologists in the area. Both pregnancies were without complications. I am SO incredibly grateful for all that Dr. Wells, and the nursing staff (Jamie, Toni, Mandy, and others) did for us. Infertility was a very personal and emotional journey for us that spanned several years. We went through some tough times and felt really supported by everyone at Audubon. The nurses are truly angels - from around the clock support and emails about my medications, next steps, etc, to their empathy when we experienced loss. We are so blessed for the little humans Audubon helped us bring into the world and I highly recommend Audubon Fertility.

Renée Falgout

Staff is great and they all go above & beyond to make you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Had a great experience with my IVF cycle & Dr Wells. 10/10 recommend to all of our friends & family seeking fertility treatment.

Lindsey Henderson

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place. Dr. Wells and the staff walk you through all of the steps with compassion and love. Infertility and loss is hard. With three miscarriages and a diagnosis of PCOS, I came to this clinic with hope and now I am the mother of boy/girl twins because of this place! The staff here are like family. They were just as excited as I was to hear those two beautiful words “YOURE PREGANT”!

Nicole Dufrechou

Dr Wells and her staff are the absolute best. They are there for you through thick and thin. They celebrate with you during victories and are a shoulder to cry on when needed. They really care.

I don’t even know where to start… Audubon & the staff there have been beyond amazing to us. If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t have our amazing children. We are from Baton Rouge & we started our infertility journey with Audubon back in 2018. We were referred by my OB after having a horrible experience with our local Baton Rouge fertility clinic (in short, the dr there called me a needle phobe & just wanted to cut to “deal with” my blocked tubes by removing them). We scheduled a new patient meeting with Dr. Wells & the clinic worked with us to set up the meeting as a virtual visit so that we didn’t have to drive an hour an a half (one way) to the clinic. We were so thankful for this service. After the new patient visit, it was determined that we needed additional testing to get ready for IVF. That included bloodwork & a repeat HSG. I previously had an HSG at the Baton Rouge clinic & it showed that my tubes were blocked. The repeat HSG showed the same and Dr. Wells recommended surgery before continuing with IVF, BUT the goal for her was that it would be an exploratory surgery to visually check my tubes and only take them out if they truly were blocked since it’s possible for HSG tests to be wrong. During the surgery my tubes were found to be just fine & Dr. Wells didn’t just deliver that news to us, but she celebrated with us & was truly happy for us. I also want to note that because I’m not good with needles I requested that the blood that they needed for my labs be drawn during my surgery so that I didn’t have to stress about that too and they were happy to accommodate my request. We proceeded with getting ready for the egg retrieval and all the drugs/injections involved with that. The staff was amazing at teaching us how to do the injections and calmed my fears. They were caring and took time to listen when I had concerns & they didn’t make light of my fears, which was a big deal for me. After the retrieval, the staff was with us every step of the way through the terrifying 5 day wait to see how many viable embryos we would have. They made sure we knew what to expect and they updated us DAILY on the progress of our embryos. They were good at answering questions about the embryo grading and making sure we understood what it all meant. In 2019 we had our FIRST embryo transfer (our son), In 2021 we had our SECOND embryo transfer (our daughter), And just recently in December (2022) we had our THIRD embryo transfer (baby to be…). After each embryo transfer the clinic has wanted 2 blood tests to confirm pregnancy & each time they accommodated us being so far from the clinic. They sent us lab orders so we could have the testing done at our local labcorp instead of having to make the long drive to the clinic. We’ve appreciated this service so much. Our insurance doesn’t cover anything Fertility related. We knew that before we got started and Audubon was very clear with what their costs & fees were before we got started. Whenever they could, like after the HSG & my surgery, they submitted claims to our insurance to help us save money since they could use non-fertility related codes on those services to get the insurance to cover the cost. They also helped us find savings with our progesterone & estrogen, which were partially covered under our insurance if we got them through a pharmacy. They also wrote a special prescription for me to get smaller needles so that my injections weren’t as painful. Each time we have used Audubon over the years, the staff has been so good to us. They listen, they’ve made special accommodations, they’ve celebrated with us, they truly care and they love what they do. They are extremely knowledgeable and they stay up to date on training and research, which we’ve noticed over our years using their facility. We can’t thank them enough for helping us to build the family that we’ve longed for. Special thanks to Dr. Wells, Dr. Ulrich, Tori, Jamie (from 2019) & staff.

Nicole Fucci

If you and your partner are starting the IVF journey, there is no better place than Audubon Fertility. THEY ACTUALLY CARE!!!! Dr. Wells & Staff are truly miracle workers!!!

liz basta

My experience at Audubon was wonderful. I was treated with compassion and care. I will always be grateful to their team for Helping us grow our family.

Kerri Davis-Fontenot

Dr. Wells and her entire staff have been so exceptional throughout my infertility journey. Highly recommend her clinic!

Hayley Brasted

I would say, like in any private healthcare facility, remember to advocate for yourself. I tend to faint while giving blood which I of course did during my initial labs. I started to feel ill and asked for a trash can. The woman said she couldn’t let me use the small trashcan in the room and needed to find something appropriate for me. By the time she found a vessel good enough for my vomit, I threw up all over myself in my mask. I was supposed to have my financial consult that day which I would’ve been absolutely fine and happy to do after cleaning myself up a bit. They told me in a strange white woman infantilizing way that I should go home and rest so I never ended up getting my financial consult. Do not skip the consult! It’s during this they will explain to you what appointments are part of your fertility package and what are “extra.” I don’t understand why anything would be separate since I definitely would’ve never called a fertility clinic if it wasn’t for… fertility services. The doctor I met with that day also asked me in the middle of the nurse’s station if I was “really up for the process” since I fainted. I do understand that was coming from a place of concern but it felt a bit insulting considering the stakes of fertility treatment. She had an overall strange bedside manner throughout. Let me know that I would be tested for HIV but that, “Don’t worry, we do it for everyone.” I’d go ahead and suggest to never tell a patient anything that insinuates they’re not just being tested because they seem like they’d be HIV+ but that’s just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My partner who is a physician had to repeatedly tell me throughout the process that they are simply providing a service. They have the burgers, we do not. That said, Dr. Wells is great. Also shout out to Nurse G who is the world’s best phlebotomist! Never fainted with her once!

Rayna Piazza

My husband and I had the most amazing experience at Audubon Fertility. Dr. Wells was present for every one of our appointments and the staff was available through the app to answer questions in between appointments. The app was so helpful in keep everything organized from test results to medication plans. Our IVF Coordinator, Debbie, was super encouraging and answered our 10 million questions! (Thank you Debbie!!) We highly recommend this clinic for your fertility journey. They are personable, empathetic, and of course highly knowledgeable and experienced in the clinical side of fertility. We had such a positive experience from day one.

Lauren Penn

This is an excellent clinic. I’m a former patient of Dr Wells, and I came to her after a poor experience with another clinic who struggled with communication and organization. The IVF process is stressful, time sensitive, and detailed. The team at Audubon did an excellent job of walking my husband and I through the process to make it as painless as possible. Everyone on staff was kind and attentive. I don’t hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone in Nola seeking fertility treatment.

Erica Harwell

We absolutely loved our experience at Audobon Fertility! Everyone is so welcoming and caring. They work together to make sure communication between patient and doctor is so easy. Dr. Ulrich and Nurse Practitioner Morgan were so invested in helping us through the process. Everything is so conveniently located next door to the clinic (A surgery center & a lab for bloodwork) We were always quickly and on time. They answered all the questions and concerns. My wife and I are super happy we chose Audobon and I was lucky enough to get pregnant on the first try.

Chelsea Hales

We absolutely loved our experience at Audubon Fertility. The staff was always so caring and kind. Dr. Wells answered the millions of questions I had during our initial consult and never made us feel rushed. Loved them!

Abby Gerrity

I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Wells and my experience at Audubon Fertility. They gave me the gift of my beautiful, perfect little boy from our very first embryo transfer. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Sebastian Koga

The most amazing medical experience of our lives. Dr. Wells and Dr. Juneau are the most compassionate, kind, caring doctors that personally care about you, your goals as a family and your medical care and needs. These doctors and their staff set the GOLD STANDARD of fertility treatment and medical care in general. Everyone we interacted with in the office was genuinely KIND and professional. If everything in life went as smoothly and to plan as our fertility treatment, life would be absolutely dreamy. I love these doctors and their staff, and appreciate their work. Thank you Audubon Fertility! 1 year update: still thankful for our healthy baby. Thank you Audubon Fertility

Roxie Lapara

I went to Audubon after a friend suggested them over the clinic in our hometown. I was impressed with them from the minute we walked in the door. There was virtually no wait, Dr. Wells reviewed my prior history and procedures and suggested that we start with IVF. I had already had unsuccessful IUI's and I am older(fertility speaking). I always felt like every staff member treated us with respect and encouraged us the entire way. They were honest about outcomes and pricing and we had a very realistic idea of what the entire process was going to cost us. I got pregnant after my first round of IVF and gave birth to the greatest blessing of my life. We were so pleased with the clinic, nurses and doctors at Audubon that we went back for our second and are currently expecting No. 2! I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Wells, Jamie, Toni, really all of the staff from the girls at the front desk to the lab, everyone is incredibly kind and really helped keep us optimistic. You can tell that they really care about what they do and want the best outcome for their patients. These ladies are miracle workers. You will not regret the decision to go to Audubon Fertility.

Charlie Mac (SemimetalAlchemist)

Even through the roughest parts of our journey, the staff here has been amazing. Dr. Wells and Jamie have been supportive and optimistic about all of our treatments and were honest and clear about the obstacles we encountered. It took three years of hard work, but it paid off and we are greatly appreciative of the staff at Audubon.

Crystal Nugent

This Fertility Clinic Deserves 10 stars. I’ve seen these previous negative reviews that just don’t depict the level of professionalism & genuine care you receive. Just disregard them. I can say without a shadow of doubt that each and every staff member I came into contact with here was truly sweet, caring and most importantly knowledgeable in their positions. • Dr. Juneau is not only extremely knowledgeable but you can truly feel her passion for what she does. Great woman, super adorable! • Sheila is freaking amazing! You’ll think so too! So my advice is to stay positive and choose this amazing place to change your life!

Jessica Gordon

Dr Wells and the staff at Audubon are wonderful! She's a young, smart, thorough Dr and has a very caring demeanor. I've been able to email and call her directly throughout this process. The nurses are some of the nicest people I've ever met; Debbie graciously responds to my inane emails promptly and even on the weekends! Jamie and everyone I've encountered address me by name and make me feel completely comfortable. The office is lovely; the waiting area is decorated beautifully, there is a coffee/herbal tea/water station and current magazines (New Yorker, Glamour, etc) which helps this place not "feel" like a medical facility when you first walk in. The finance manager was also very nice. We paid for our IVF and PGS out-of-pocket, but there are TONS of financing options for the procedures and the medications, and even savings opportunities for cash-paying customers. (We got some pretty significant discounts on our medications, which was great.) For IVF, my procedures were right next door at Vivere Surgery Center. SUPER convenient and, again, the nurses and anesthesiologist there are incredibly nice and professional. You can really tell these folks love what they do. Even my husband (who's a total guy) feels completely at ease there and actually enjoys visiting with Dr Wells. Lastly, and most importantly, Dr Wells knows what she's doing. The medication protocol she prescribed resulted in 20+ eggs being retrieved and fertilized. And because they offer PGS testing (not all clinics do) we know exactly which embryos are healthy and viable and even know the genders! We had our first frozen embryo transferred recently and we couldn't be happier. Sorry for the long review but a place this important deserves more than just a "star rating." Best of luck to you!

Marjerrie Vincent

Amazing staff! Literally each and every step of the way is made the most pleasant an unavoidably uncomfortable situation can be! These ladies ALL go above and beyond for each patient to have both a personalized and pleasant experience! Being infertile sucks BUT Dr. Wells and her team of infertility warriors can make it all okay!

Keisha D

The best staff and providers! Great success working with their team…TWICE!

Marlene Anderson

Amazing staff! Literally the best❤️

Jennifer Krumwiede

All of the ladies who work here are amazing. I would highly recommend Dr. Wells - she is great and very personable and straight forward.

Annie Hu

Dr.Wells and her staff are a pleasure. Have recommended them to many friends and family!

Terri Williams

Great environment cool people very helpful

Annie Oddo

Amazing experience! Would recommend to anyone.

Toni Neumann

I can't say enough wonderful things about the staff and facility at Audubon Fertility. I was lucky enough to have 2 babies via IVF and while the process can be overwhelming I always felt so comfortable and the staff always greeted me by name and I felt they genuinely cared about my husband and I's journey. Highly recommend!

Brittany Hyatt

Dr. Wells, Dr. Ulrich, NP Morgan, and the staff that supports them are all absolutely wonderful. We owe this clinic everything, as they have blessed up with one beautiful child and another on the way. We have had zero miscarriages with them, zero chemical pregnancies, and zero failed cycles. We had ONE IVF cycle that resulted in a live birth and now ONE IUI cycle that has resulted in an extremely healthy pregnancy with just 10 short days to go until we have another live birth. I have heard several horror stories of other clinics and the challenges others have faced, and we never experienced any of that with this team. It also should be noted that we are an LGBTQ+ family, and have felt very comfortable, heard, and understood throughout our entire treatment there. They have always treated us like family. They know my son by name and love when we bring him with us to appointments/to visit. I could not recommend this team or this clinic enough.

Ashley Stove

Very informative and will go the extra mile to make sure you understand and are comfortable.

Mary Hartwick

Audubon fertility has been great to us. Infertility is one of the hardest things to go through. I've always felt so comfortable there and truly felt like they cared about my journey just as much as me and that makes this process so much easier. The entire staff has been extremely supportive through all the ups and downs. I am now on my IVF journey with Dr. Wells and I'm so glad I found Audubon fertility.

Lesley Touart

Everyone here is so nice. The doctors are extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. Would recommend any one seeking fertility assistance to contact this group.

Katy Hildebrand

Could not be more grateful for Audubon fertility <3 They were great to work with and did everything they could to help us. We ultimately were successful and owe it all to them!
