JHU Fertility tries to ride on the coat tails of JHU’s excellent hospital in Baltimore City.

The two share nothing in common beyond the name. It is the last place I would consider for fertility care.

I'm a physician who practices reproductive medicine. Stay away from JHU.

It can't be that bad, right? It's Johns Hopkins.

The name is the only reason they are still open at all.

Yes, it really is that bad.

To be fair, SGF manages that by accepting a high risk of multiples.

If anyone thinks they were a victim of medical negligence at JHU, please contact a lawyer like this one: www.arfaalawgroup.com

If JHU fertility continues to profit off the name, while not delivering results, why should they change?

It's a terrible clinic. I think they hired a new embryology lab director, so maybe they are trying to turn this thing around?

I went to the clinic in timonium and it was really strange. Tiny waiting room filled with women and tiny doctors offices with some docs and nurses just perusing their phones. Not classy at all.

I heard it's a daycare for unsupervised residents.

Yes. The residents do everything and not very well.

on what grounds? not a JH patient but how can you prove that the fertility lab was negligent?

we believe there are missing embryos

That is a Fing nightmare. I had something similar happen (a C section isthmocele that came and went on ultrasounds, but it was definitely there on the repeat C!). You are not crazy and do not let them gaslight you. I specifically requested my FET notes where the wonderful RE blurted out he saw it and never got the records, never relayed that top secret medical condition to my care providers. I too am exploring legal options. I hope you locate your missing embryos.

DP here. Hopkins fertility is really a F'ing nightmare. If you get treatment there - and if you are successful - I would invest in a genetic test to ensure they did in fact put the right embryo into your body.

Hi. I came across something that might help you. If you have 3rd party insurance order the payment history and examine the billing codes for inconsistencies. Cross check them against your records. If your clinic sent your records anywhere, or they were sent from somewhere, order copies and compare documents. They also like to release "decoy" documents. You need to specifically ask for the good stuff. E.g. embryologist report. I know my embryos each have a photo. Examine dates for discrepancies

omg. how is this place still allowed to operate??

Infertility is a tough battle and frustration can lead to find someone or something to blame.
