Patients Say…

Dr. Witten, Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support during this stressful time. It means a lot to me to have your professional expertise on my team in the hopes of starting a family of my own soon. I appreciate your superior personalized care combined with your dedication to accurately diagnose and treat my specific fertility needs. I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you are involved with every step of this process. I value your sincerity and I am truly grateful that you perform all of the procedures yourself while educating me along the way. I am looking forward to finding the treatment that suits me best and ultimately brings my dreams of motherhood to reality soon! With much gratitude…”

“Words cannot express how thankful we are to you. After trying to have a baby with no success for three years, we were referred to you. I was terrified that you were going to tell us that you couldn’t help. Instead, you took care of us. Amazingly, only after seeing you for a few short weeks, we were pregnant. It was so much more than we could have hoped for. It was also a great joy to see how genuinely happy for us you were. We are sending you pictures of our beautiful baby girl, just like we promised. Thank you so very much for helping us have this wonderful little girl. She truly is the best thing to ever happen to us. We will always remember you.”

“Hands down the best doctor I have ever had. He is thorough and caring. We worked with him for a period of time and he almost feels like part of our family. He called us on a day his office was closed to make sure we were doing okay after having a miscarriage. I cannot stress enough how wonderful he is! Best of all, he helped us fulfill our dreams to have a healthy baby!! However, we would give him 5/5 even if we didn’t succeed in getting pregnant. He was that great!”
