Here and all the staff at ORM were truly great through every step of the treatment process. - Morgan H. I had a great experience with Dr. Rossi and her nurses. Currently pregnant when wasn't sure was possible. They really do the research and their recommendations for fertility issues are above and beyond the regular OB office. If you are older or suspect due to PCOS or other condition you may struggle I recommend seeing them sooner rather than later. I spent 6 months doing infertility with OB office with not much optimism or results. Switched to them, had some testing done and learned more about my fertility issues (female factor for us) and 3rd IUI was successful. Less than 6 months her patient and I had success and I am late 30's with PCOS. I genuinely recommend them to anyone. - B. We are blessed with two children thanks to Dr. Rossi and the ORM team. Dr. Rossi always went above and beyond to talk us through every step and help us make decisions along the way. Just like any health care situation, it's important to be your own advocate and ask questions and Dr. Rossi was always eager to respond. Highly recommend! - Valerie K. Dr. Rossi and her team were wonderful! We had a short journey with them but it was nothing less than wonderful! They are supportive, knowledgeable, quick to respond to questions/concerns and best of all compassionate! Highly recommend Dr. Brooke Rossi and her team. - Tiffany H.
