Incredible team for helping us through this journey

Dr. Winslow,

Thank you so much to you and your incredible team for helping us through this journey. After nearly five years of unexplained losses and heartache, we are now blessed with a son. Words cannot convey the impact that you have not only made on our lives, but also on those around us. We will continue to share our positive story for years to come, in hopes of providing a little inspiration to others who struggle. We appreciate your wisdom, guidance, and patience. 

With immense gratitude,

We will definitely return when we are planning on baby number 2.

Dear Dr. Winslow,

We would like to start out be thanking you for being a wonderful doctor. In a time when couples are beaten down, disappointed, and at times feel hopeless you are a sign of hope. The first time we walked into your office, not knowing what to expect, we were greeted by a wonderful staff of smiling faces and sweet words. As we met you hope of becoming parents started to return and by the time we were having our first IUI done we felt as if you were a blessing from God himself. A few weeks later we were so excited to learn that we were pregnant and a few months later devastated at the loss of a much anticipated baby. When we returned to repeat the process you were so kind and hopeful that it would happen for us again and it did. We prayed for those 3 years for a sign and blessing and little did we know that you were a part of that plan. You have been given a gift and you use it to bless other couples with precious babies they thought would never be a part of their lives. The Lord uses you in a miraculous way. You take time to make every patient feel comfortable and valued. Most doctors would have done the procedures and not taken the time to get to know the patient, you don’t. We thank Him for leading us to you and every day when I look at our Miracle baby boy I think of how wonderful our experience was at your clinic through the ups and downs. God is working through you and all of the wonderful people at the FIRM. We will definitely return when we are planning on baby number 2. Parenthood is a dream come true and a gift we don’t take for granted. Thanks for helping our dreams come true!

Truly blessed,
BJ and AJ

My dad is loving the grandfather life!

Dear Dr. Winslow,

I have been meaning to send this letter for months now, but the beautiful reality is that I have been soaking up time with my daughter. A daughter that we prayed so long for. A daughter that wouldn’t be here without you and your team. I will never be able to find the right words to adequately convey how thankful I am for you and for FIRM. You gave us hope and the family we longed for. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Wishing you, your family, and the FIRM family a happy and healthy 2023.

Sincerely,
CG

P.S. My dad is loving the grandfather life!

Forever grateful!

Thank you! You are amazing. We are very appreciative of everything you have done for us! 

Dr. Winslow Testimonial by S & C McG

There are not enough words to say to tell you how much we LOVE and appreciate you. You are truly a God send and I’m so grateful our paths crossed. I never imaged I would be one of the many people who suffered with fertility issues but after years of trying with no success and seeing other doctors, my dream of becoming a mother was starting to fade. I remember our first consultation meeting at the Brunswick office where you told us we may have to do IVF but you believed we would be able to have our own kids. I left the office that day with more hope and joy than I had felt in a while but I also remember being concerned and told my husband there was no way we were going to be able to afford IVF. Months later, we were undergoing our first IUI cycle under your care which was successful but then I had a miscarriage 17 weeks later. We tried 2 more rounds of IUI afterwards that were unsuccessful so it was decided that I needed to take a break….that break turned to about a year or so and I had come to the conclusion that I may never be able to have my own biological children. With much prayer and encouragement from my husband and family, I decided I would try one last time. When we came back to F.I.R.M. for another consultation with you, it was your suggestion we go ahead and do IVF so we started the process. When it came time to decide to transfer 1 or 2 embryos, we sought your opinion and after discussing it with you, we decided to transfer 2 embryos on 5/15/19. Both embryos took and we were having twins!!!

The twins were due January 2020 but we had some complications along the way. At 16 weeks, I was in preterm labor and had to have a cervical cerclage; then I was placed on bed rest with hopes that I would make it to 23 weeks to receive the steroids…We  made it to 31 weeks before I ended up having an emergency c-section due to preeclampsia. The twins were born 11/29/19!!!

I could never thank you enough Dr. Winslow and the FIRM staff for your love, support, and assistance with starting our family.

Dr. Freeman Testimonial by H.F.

After a period of trying to conceive on our own with no positive results, we decided to reach out to the F.I.R.M. We were extremely happy with each doctor we met with but ultimately chose Dr. Freeman. We immediately felt at ease and in great hands with him. He was knowledgeable and informative about all options and procedures and welcomed all questions- and I had a TON!! Dr. Freeman was patient and kind when things weren’t moving along as quickly as we had hoped and kept us encouraged to continue treatment. Dr. Freeman truly cares about his patients and their outcomes. We were thrilled when he was able to give us the news that we were finally expecting! We will forever be grateful for Dr. Freeman, the nurses and staff for everything they did for us and their exceptional care. We highly recommend using Dr. Freeman!! H.F.
