I tried to get pregnant for almost 10 years no luck, everyone kept turning us away, when I first went to my appointment, really wasn't happy because I thought we get turn down but dr schmickes made me and my husband like we weren't alone. Every appointment him and his staff made us feel like we were right at home and answer every question. After 10 miscarriage, me and my husband are having our rainbow baby and I have to think dr schmickes and his staff ❤️ Less

After losing our precious baby boy in 2022, we took time to heal and do our research on what fertility clinic would be best for us. We are sooo thankful to have found Fertility Partnership. There inovcell process was such a neat experience .No fertility journey is easy for anyone, but Deanna and Dr. Simckes did a great job at reassuring us we were in the right place. Everyone apart of his team treated us so well and with great understanding. While it was a very affordable option, it was more about the time and care. Dr. Simckes has a way of being able to tell you what you need to know, without shaming your lack of knowledge . We truly appreciate Deanna , she is so sweet and never left an email, call or text unanswered. and believe me, I had a lot of questions often 😂. We are currently pregnant and cannot wait to further share our success story with them.Update .Our little guy was born 01/24/2025 🩵. Thank you again to Dr. Simckes and his staff. Less

The nurses, receptionists, and doctor are all amazing. I experienced a stillbirth with my first pregnancy. I was advised to go to a larger practice. I eventually switched because the first provider was cold, unorganized, and rude. The entire process with Dr. Simckes went as smooth as it could have. I cannot express how much I appreciate the services I received.However, the billing was difficult. I met my out of pocket max and had no out of pocket costs. I tried calling multiple times, later found out a billing agency is responsible for collecting insurance. The claim needed resubmitted. Althought it was under review, they still sent it to collections. had insurance advocate for me and the issue was resolved.Overall, I would highly suggest them. If you have billing issues, save your time and make insurance fight it. Less

We had our first consult with Dr. Simckes in August 2024 due to male factor infertility. He explained all of the steps to take and possible outcomes thoroughly. He is so personable and easy to talk to. After talking with a couple other infertility doctors, we knew right away that he was the one we wanted to work with.In November, we proceeded with starting the process of the egg retrieval. Jordyn was my nurse coordinator for this and she was awesome! Answered all my questions any time of day, even on weekends. We loved her! They were able to retrieve 24 mature eggs, and we ended up with 8 embryos on ice!I actually ended up having a hysteroscopy D&C in December and a polyp was removed. I had no idea I even had a polyp, but I told Dr. Simckes some symptoms I was having and he knew it wasn’t normal and got me in right away for the procedure. Thank goodness he did.We moved forward with the frozen transfer in January, and I got pregnant on the first try! Dainelle was my coordinator for the transfer, and she was just as awesome as Jordyn- there with me every step of the way. We had one embryo that didn’t survive the thaw, but they acted fast and had another embryo thawed and ready to go by the time I was in the room, and reassured me that everything would be okay.Fast forward to now, and I am 8 weeks pregnant. Throughout the pregnancy, we have been working with Dash, the OB coordinator. She has been very reassuring with some issues I’ve had, and has taken time out of evenings and weekends to put my mind at ease several different times.Everyone at this office is so friendly. I feel so welcomed every time I walk in. Especially since they see you so much, they pretty much know who you are just by looking at you. And Dr. Simckes really knows his stuff! I love that he does all of his own ultrasounds, and everything that is done is ordered by him. I would highly recommend anyone struggling with infertility to see him. I can’t wait to go back to him when we decide to try for baby #2! Less

Dr. Simckes and all of his staff are always so nice, happy, and encouraging. You can definitely tell that they are in this practice because they want to help people to have families and not for the money. I am not from the area but do not have any clinics close, so I have to travel. I had went to another fertility clinic in the STL area where I had done 3 rounds of IVF and my transfers were unsuccessful 2 years prior. I found Dr. Simckes because I wanted to have ovarian prp done so I went to his clinic to talk with him and have it done. I immediately liked him and what he had to say and liked his plan for me. I trusted him to do two more rounds of IVF where I have had more success with him at 34/35 years old than I did at 31/32 with my old clinic. I highly recommend him and his staff. The nurses, MA, and lab tech are all fantastic.Update: I am pregnant with boy/girl twins after transferring 2 embryos. Less

Fertility Partnership was my husband and I’s second opinion before giving up on starting our family. Knowing IVF was the only way possible, was terrifying to me, and was honestly out of our price range. We were stuck and didn’t know what to do. Fertility partnership was the first place that treated us with respect and gave us options that were within reach. The staff was beyond personable, thoughtful, and truly cared about our journey to starting a family of our own. Deanna was our IVF Coordinator, who throughout our journey was there every step of the way! She was there to explain things, answer questions, and guide us in a direction that made overcoming IVF seem less overwhelming. Dash was then took over once we got to move into early pregnancy stages. She was very positive and helpful during a time that was nerve wrecking. Overall, we are beyond thankful and grateful Fertility Partnership gave us the next steps to growing our family. There are no words that I could share to explain how thankful we are to have had their expertise and guidance in our IVF journey. Less

If you want a Doctor who will make the experience fun, less stressful, has a laid back personality, but is completely honest and keeps it 100% - this is the place for you! The staff was really great about making sure you knew what to expect and next steps of the process along the entire way. Invocell was a great choice- cheapest compared to any other office in the area. Our frozen transfer was successful on the first try. Just an amazing experience from start to finish! Less

I started my journey with Dr.Simckes in 2019. He took his time to talk to me and my husband and ran every single test imaginable to figure out the best way to approach getting me pregnant. When Covid hit we took a break until 2024. We picked up right where we left off. Before I knew it I was pregnant thanks to dr simckes. The coordinators and whole office staff was super helpful and answered any questions I had. I had no problems with communication or getting the help I needed. Doc takes his time with each patient which can lead to some appointments starting later than normal, but it's worth it! Less
