Lori Turrentine Moore

Best fertility clinic! After coming from another clinic this place was amazing. The staff truly care and listen to all of your concerns. Dr Long is amazing and Dr Hammond words can't describe. We've done 2 rounds of invocell with them and currently pregnant. Couldn't have made it this far without them!

RateMDs Reviewer

Dr. Long and ACRM truely care about their patients. Their reproductive clinic shows kindness and empathy to patients in an unparalleled manner. Staff members quickly respond to questions and attend to each patient's individual needs. Wonderful doctor. Helped me when my primary doctor couldn't. Immediately found the problem and corrected it. Dr Long was able to diagnose the cause of my infertility, treat it with the required surgery, and perform 1 IUI to achieve pregnancy. The whole process was so quick but also done with such kindness and care. Once pregnancy was achieved he monitored it so closely and it felt like he cared as much as I did. I felt completely safe in his care. And his entire staff is wonderful! They knew my husband and I by name. Can't say enough good things! After 8 years of infertility, including 7 miscarriages, 2 pre-term labors, failed inseminations and multiple failed IVF--traveling all over the country to see the "best" fertility specialists, we met Dr. Long. As I type this, I hear my twin daughters playing in the background, and I have tears in my eyes. Dr. Long and his new practice, Alabama Center for Reproductive Medicine is amazing! Dr. Long truly cares about his patients and goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and informed! After years of seeing OB/GYN after OB/GYN and enduring surgeries and loss we finally sought the help of Dr Long and the Alabama Center for Reproductive Medicine...Dr Long is amazing! He is such a kind and compassionate person and will do whatever it takes for success, and will sit down and discuss at length any concerns you may have. I would recommend him to anyone trying to have a baby! We wasted over 5 years with Dr's telling us there was nothing wrong and he had it figured out in the first few visits! We are now expecting our miracle baby in January thanks to Dr Long! I love Dr. Long! I left my previous RE and started seeing Dr. Long on 3/31/11 and I got my BFP on 4/25/11. He is so compassionate, yet aggressive with treatment. I would highly recommend. Dr. Long and his entire team at ACRM are a special group of people. They truly care about each of their patients and make us all feel like we are the only ones in the practice. They care about us and their goal is to help make miracles happen - which they do every day. I previously went to another clinic in Birmingham and I have to say the patient experience is night and day in every way possible. From the front desk, to billing, to patient care - this group has been such a blessing. Dr. Long is a wonderful, caring infertility specialist. He is dedicated to his patients' success and extremely compassionate. I would recommend him to anyone!

Renee Victoria

After years of infertility, I met with Dr. Long and Dr. Hammond. That was 1/2. Had surgery 2/12. On 3/29 I found out we were pregnant. I gave birth on 11/10 to a healthy baby girl. I have ACRM to thank for that.

Sarah Elizabeth Garner

Dr. Long helped me and my husband get pregnant last year. He figured out exactly what was wrong with me and preformed my hysteroscopy and laparoscopy last April and we had our first and only IUI in May. We got pregnant on our first IUI. We used him at ART and continued to use art for the 12 weeks. Our whole experience was great and wish Dr. Long the best of luck!

Savannah Youmans Jones

Tyler Clements

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Long for several years now and have been working with Dr. Hammond since last fall. These two are incredible physicians who care deeply for their patients. With their help, we were able to get pregnant in November with Invocell/affordable IVF. Not only did they help us to conceive, they have held our hand each step of the way. Dr. Hammond has taken our calls after hours, even when she was on vacation, when my wife had complications with her pregnancy, and that meant so much to us! Of course they are brilliant and highly skilled at their job, but beyond that, infertility is a very personal matter. Having people who love and care for you the way that they have has made our journey so much easier. We have seen other doctors in the past, and I can't imagine any clinic in the Birmingham area being any greater than ACRM. From the staff, all the way to the top, ACRM exceeded our expectations of care and professionalism. Go see them!

Valerie Harper Clements

I was a patient of Dr. Long at his former practice, and followed him when he opened ACRM. He is so sincere and personal with my husband and I. The best doctor hands down. He has also selected a great team of staff!
