Excellent discussion of my issue and advise on present/ future treatment.

Even on the very rough days he remained optimistic and open to try new things. I couldn’t have chosen a better doctor to go on the journey with.
It’s difficult posting a public review about such a sensitive topic but I feel it’s important people know what they’re getting into before they choose this clinic. I have no other clinics to compare this to, so my experience may just be the …

Dr. Butler took great care of me! I wanted to work with a smaller practice so I wouldn’t feel like just another number, and I definitely felt that I received individualized care by highly competent medical professionals.
If you like to avoid extreme frustration then don’t go to this doctor’s office. The 4.8 overall rating of this operations makes no sense and somehow the reviews appear to be manipulated. I tried for over 3 months to make it work as I was …
Signey Olson is the only reason I’m giving it 2 stars. She is amazing.
The staff is not. The lack of communication, miscommunication, or over poor office management has made our process such a headache. We finally received a …

Dr. Sacks is Knowledgeable & intelligent. he explains everything so easily. he is so warm. he’s the best doctor I’ve ever met. I highly recommend this doctor.
Signey Olson and Dr. Sacks are both amazing. I have so far been impressed with Columbia Fertility. Areas of improvement are the front desk and admin because lots of times I’ve waited minutes for someone to pick up only for the call to end in a busy signal. Or I’m immediately transferred to a voicemail that doesn’t exist.
Dr. Butler is very nice. But I have had some communication issues with staff working there throughout. You can barely reach out to them by phone and email even if we are dealing with very time sensitive matter. I several times left messages …

Best doctor, ever. Not only does he take care of your body, but he understands that your body is affected by your emotional and mental state. Very few doctors take this extra important step. I also call him for references to other …
What can I say. I recently moved to the DMV area and did my research for a fertility clinic. The Columbia Fertility Clinic seemed to fit our needs. The reviews were encouraging, but my 1st consultation with Dr. Sacks was more than I …

If I could give them one star I would. First Victoria over charged me $1000 without my authorization after I authorize her to charge $550 for my remaining balance. Apparently she’s not good at math. Then front desk staffs are rude and …

Dr. Sacks’ energy was amazing from the start of our consult. He had a lot of information and we walked away from a conversation that we were a bit apprehensive about, feeling excited and encouraged. And even before the appointment, his office team made getting everything set up a breeze.
It was the best experience during this pandemic that I’ve had experience in a long time. I thank the entire staff that I encountered today they all are helpful, kind and I appreciate them and how they handle us today. Dr. Sack was just …
Very friendly, very professional. I came to this group looking for assistance and advice for egg freezing. I did not feel as though they were pushing me to freeze my eggs so they could make money. Instead, they laid out the options for me, …
I was skeptical a bit coming here due to the last Fertility Dr. I had. When I came I felt welcomed and tooken care of. Dr. Sacks explained EVERYTHING! He is very passionate, caring, and I see he roots for his patents. I want to thank him for being so punctual and precise in what needs to be done.
It was my husband and I first visit with Dr. Sacks and we felt so comfortable. He was very knowledgeable, patient and thorough.
He provided us with very detailed options to help us make decisions on best next steps. We appreciated him very much.
Admin staff and nurses are terrible. My wife and I spent hours and hours over the course of our treatments either waiting for our appointments (30+ min late every single time) or calling them repeatedly to get them to do the things they …
Dr. Rifka is very nice and knowledgeable. The staff at Columbia Fertility Center are extremely lazy, careless, and really hate working with patients there. I do not recommend this place to anyone seeking treatment. Find a better place to go.
I scheduled a follow up virtual appointment a month out with Dr. Abbasi only for the doctor to arrive 10 minutes late and inform me that they did not in fact have my lab results despite me having given them my specialist’s contact …

Even on the very rough days he remained optimistic and open to try new things. I couldn’t have chosen a better doctor to go on the journey with.
It’s difficult posting a public review about such a sensitive topic but I feel it’s important people know what they’re getting into before they choose this clinic. I have no other clinics to compare this to, so my experience may just be the …

Dr Sachs is hands down the best OBGYN i’ve ever seen. I have been a patient of his for more than 7 years! A friend suggested him to me when I moved to the DC area and couldn’t be happier. He has incredible bedside manners!

The staff is courteous. Dr. Sacks is kind and easy to talk to. He is an expert in his field and it is a relief to know i have the best care for my reproductive health.
We have only great things to say about Columbia Fertility Associates specially for Dr Preston Sacks. From day one he has made us feel comfortable with the whole process. He is friendly, caring and understanding. We have one very healthy son and going back for a second try. Too bad he doesn’t deliver them as well.
Dr Sacks is an amazing Doctor, he takes time to sit with you and answer every question you have. I never feel rush and not heard. He set goals and make sure that he gives the advice to reach your goals.
Dr. Sacks and his team were wonderful. Kim is amazing and was always there to help me with my many questions. Dr. Sacks knows his stuff and helped me get pregnant despite my PCOS. We’re thrilled! We had some complications with billing, but the team resolved them.
I waited in the waiting room for a short time. The receptionist, name escapes me, was absolutely knowledgable about what to expect during my appointment. Dr. Sacks has a warm personality and comprehensively explained my options. I am thankful for Columbia Fertility Associates.

Dr. Abbass’ demeanor has really put me at eas e so i really recommend this clinic.

As his patient for so many years, I am grateful that he is always there for us.
Dr Butler is very thorough in his approach to care. He carefully reviews your medical history and provides you with options for you to make a choice. I like the fact that he sits down in his office with his patients to talk before heading …
I have seen a lot of one stars for this place get removed for no reason other than being 1 star. This place is terrible service, communication, billing and transparency.
Dr. Sacks was so kind and personable. I loved that he talked to me in his office instead of just straight going into an exam room. He was extremely knowledgeable and made sure I had all of my questions answered. I’m looking forward to having him along this journey.

He makes things easy and comfortable despite a sometimes stressful process. I highly recommend Dr. Sacks and this practice.
I have seen Dr. Sacks twice so far for consultations in his office. He has reviewed my paperwork carefully, answered my questions and taken my viewpoint into consideration, while still explaining his choices based on his medical expertise. He is very friendly and enjoys chit-chat.
My experience with Ms. Olson has been great thus far. I am confident in her care and appreciate her calm gentle demeanor and great bedside manners. However, as for the rest of the supporting staff, while there are a few shining stars, for …
Upon my entrance into the facility the triage staff was very friendly! And my wait was not long at all before I seen Dr. Sacks. I was referred to Dr. Sacks by one of the best OBGYN Physicians I know, Dr. Blank of Capital Women’s Care. …
I love Dr. Butler! He always takes the time to answer your questions thoroughly and will respond to your call or emails promptly. He is very professional and very happy we switched from Shady to Columbia – their customer service, billing office and receptionist have taken care of all of our needs! Highly recommend!
Dr. Butler took great care of me! I wanted to work with a smaller practice so I wouldn’t feel like just another number, and I definitely felt that I received individualized care by highly competent medical professionals.
If you like to avoid extreme frustration then don’t go to this doctor’s office. The 4.8 overall rating of this operations makes no sense and somehow the reviews appear to be manipulated. I tried for over 3 months to make it work as I was …
Signey Olson is the only reason I’m giving it 2 stars. She is amazing.
The staff is not. The lack of communication, miscommunication, or over poor office management has made our process such a headache. We finally received a …
My wife and I are seeing Dr. Rifka for fertility treatment. We find him to be an excellent doctor, however, we’ve now had to abandon two planned IUI treatment attempts because we were either given incorrect or incomplete information around …
Dr. Rifka sounded very knowledgeable, listened well, and made me feel confident that he had a plan for diagnosis and next steps. He was very personable and easy to talk to. It’s rare to meet a doctor who has both the expertise and a true interest in taking care of patients.
Dr. Butler is incredibly thorough, patient, and kind. He brings decades of expertise and an excellent bedside manner to appointments. Follow up care was excellent. The staff was wonderful and efficient.
This review is long overdue. I’ve been seeing Dr Sacks for a few years now and I can’t say enough good things about hi.. I was referred to him for reproductive endocrinology by my OBGYN. He is by far one my absolute favorite doctors I’ve …
Dr. Sacks is Knowledgeable & intelligent. he explains everything so easily. he is so warm. he’s the best doctor I’ve ever met. I highly recommend this doctor.
Signey Olson and Dr. Sacks are both amazing. I have so far been impressed with Columbia Fertility. Areas of improvement are the front desk and admin because lots of times I’ve waited minutes for someone to pick up only for the call to end in a busy signal. Or I’m immediately transferred to a voicemail that doesn’t exist.
Dr. Butler is very nice. But I have had some communication issues with staff working there throughout. You can barely reach out to them by phone and email even if we are dealing with very time sensitive matter. I several times left messages …
Dr. Sacks is such a warm and caring physician. He takes the time to really listen to your concerns, answer questions, and create a health plan that puts you in the center. I’ve experienced such wonderful results. He helped me become …
Dr. Sacks is an angel! Incredible doctor with incredible bed side manner. He’s been a shining light throughout my journey!
I am surprised to see so many negative reviews because my experience has been truly outstanding! After not receiving the “warm and fuzzy” by Shady Grove Fertility due to age (43), I researched and found CFA. I called and immediately asked …
I would really caution against this practice and recommend those considering making an appointment look at Yelp rather than Google reviews (maybe this says something about Google reviews being biased? The practice sends you a form asking …
What a pleasure!! Dr. Sacks understands the humane component to providing fertility care. He took the time to talk to me and has given me hope. His compassionate and pragmatic approach is so refreshing and very much appreciated. If you want …
Best doctor, ever. Not only does he take care of your body, but he understands that your body is affected by your emotional and mental state. Very few doctors take this extra important step. I also call him for references to other …
What can I say. I recently moved to the DMV area and did my research for a fertility clinic. The Columbia Fertility Clinic seemed to fit our needs. The reviews were encouraging, but my 1st consultation with Dr. Sacks was more than I …
Just so no one has my experience take note ONLY THE DC OFFICE IS OPEN. THE N. VA AND BETHESDA OFFICES ARE CLOSED AND THERE IS NO INFORMATION ONLINE ABOUT IT. DO NOT BOOK IF DC IS NOT A REALISTIC OFFICE FOR YOU. Dr. Sacks is a 5 star doctor, …
Dr. Sacks is fantastic! He is knowledgeable and and has the best bedside manner in the business. He has a way of making you feel like everything will be okay and that is so necessary in area of fertility treatment.
My husband and I came to Dr. Sacks for an initial conversation as we have been trying to conceive for some time, and I happen to have some issues. He was incredibly kind, caring, knowledgeable, and patient. My husband and I both agreed that …
If I could give them one star I would. First Victoria over charged me $1000 without my authorization after I authorize her to charge $550 for my remaining balance. Apparently she’s not good at math. Then front desk staffs are rude and …
Dr. Sacks is absolutely amazing! He’s extremely knowledgeable and has a wide range of experience. He takes his time with his patients and comes with the highest recommendation possible. He will take his time to answer any of your questions and his bed-side manners are impeccable.
We saw a few different fertility doctors before a friend referred us to Dr. Sacks at Columbia Fertility. I knew when we started this process we needed someone who was patient, and understanding and I felt like I could trust. We knew after …
I’ve had one visit with Dr. Sacks and my husband and I felt respected, and acknowledged. He took the time to explain everything and wanted to be proactive about getting us started in growing our family. I’m looking forward to working with Dr. Sacks along this journey.
Dr. Sacks’ energy was amazing from the start of our consult. He had a lot of information and we walked away from a conversation that we were a bit apprehensive about, feeling excited and encouraged. And even before the appointment, his office team made getting everything set up a breeze.
It was the best experience during this pandemic that I’ve had experience in a long time. I thank the entire staff that I encountered today they all are helpful, kind and I appreciate them and how they handle us today. Dr. Sack was just …
Very friendly, very professional. I came to this group looking for assistance and advice for egg freezing. I did not feel as though they were pushing me to freeze my eggs so they could make money. Instead, they laid out the options for me, …
I was skeptical a bit coming here due to the last Fertility Dr. I had. When I came I felt welcomed and tooken care of. Dr. Sacks explained EVERYTHING! He is very passionate, caring, and I see he roots for his patents. I want to thank him for being so punctual and precise in what needs to be done.
It was my husband and I first visit with Dr. Sacks and we felt so comfortable. He was very knowledgeable, patient and thorough.
He provided us with very detailed options to help us make decisions on best next steps. We appreciated him very much.
Admin staff and nurses are terrible. My wife and I spent hours and hours over the course of our treatments either waiting for our appointments (30+ min late every single time) or calling them repeatedly to get them to do the things they …
Dr. Rifka is very nice and knowledgeable. The staff at Columbia Fertility Center are extremely lazy, careless, and really hate working with patients there. I do not recommend this place to anyone seeking treatment. Find a better place to go.
I scheduled a follow up virtual appointment a month out with Dr. Abbasi only for the doctor to arrive 10 minutes late and inform me that they did not in fact have my lab results despite me having given them my specialist’s contact …
Dr. Sacks is the best doctor I ever met. He is very attentive and knowledgeable. I always feel very calm and comfortable after the appointments.
My first impression of this office is a great one. Everyone is so friendly. Dr. Sacks is super professional, & made things quick & easy. Can’t wait to come back & see everyone again!
I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Sacks! I immediately felt welcomed and comfortable sharing reasons for my visit. He answered all my questions with patience and understanding and I left feeling confident in the treatment plan he set forth for me. I am so grateful I was referred here!
