I don't usually see Dr. Letourneau, but he was the doctor that did my transfer this time. He was so kind and caring. I got emotional during the appointment and him and the staff were so nice to not make me feel silly and reinforce how special of a moment it was. So beyond grateful for the amazing care I get every time I am either in the office or simply messaging my care team.
So grateful to have ended up with Dr. Letourneau -- I am picky about my practitioners and Dr. L showed all of the care and expertise that I look for, and an expectation that we would be partners in my journey. Highly recommended!
This experience wouldn't have been so fulfilling and rewarding for my husband and me without Dr. Letourneau's knowledge, help and kindness. Thank you!

I love Dr. Letourneau. He makes you feel comfortable and is so good at teaching. Even being a nurse myself I feel like I always learn something new from him. Hands down the best provider I have been to.
I am so not a people person, nor do I like meeting new people, but this doctor was really cool. He was honest and forthcoming and very gentle about it at the same time. I'm not at all nervous about working with him in the future.

He was very kind and supportive of us. We came to him during a very upsetting time of our lives and he took the time to listen and let us ask questions and give us options. Also, followed through and checked in on us when he didn't have to- made us feel like people not just a number
Dr. Letourneau is the best fertility doctor I have worked with throughout this struggle. He educates me on practice standards and lets me make decisions based on those standards. He is calm, kind and has my best interests in mind as he guides me in making decisions. He listens to my concerns and takes the time to talk through them. I would recommend him to anyone struggling with fertility.

The fellow working with my provider had very poor bedside manner

The was very good
My concern were not addressed, and my question were not answered, and I am not being Involved in the decisions they make.
Appreciate the sincerity in the visit, especially since they knew we had just gone through a miscarriage and were so nervous
Love Dr Letourneau. Always explains things throughly, he did seem very rushed this appointment but did answer all questions
Absolutely love Dr Letourneau, I never feel rushed and he explains everything throughly
The provider never explained the thought process behind anything to me. He just said he'd talk to the team and come up with a plan that would involve action today versus continuing on and doing something tomorrow.
Love Dr L , always leaves the final choice in what we do up to me so I feel like I have a choice in what's going on
Dr. Link was incredible, but the rest of the staff was incredibly difficult to work with and created a very negative experience.
I love Dr. Maak and how personable he is! He went above and beyond to answer all of my questions and helping me work through which procedure would be the best for me.
Dr. L Was very thorough and explained everything!
I would recommend Dr. L but I would not recommend the rest of the clinic
Very informative and professional
Dr letorneau is really the best
Loved the doctor who performed our ultrasound. Kind, genuine, and super responsive!
I had an ultrasound and the PA and the doctor did amazing at explaining everything to me, they let me ask any questions I had and answered them throughly.
Felt like most of the visit was repeating my medical records again, again, and again.
Dr. Letourneau was again fantastic at explaining my condition and helping me navigate my options. He is kind and compassionate as well as very knowledgeable and explains things in an understandable way. I have complete confidence in him and his colleagues.
Very kind and friendly
My experience with Dr. Letourneau was top notch and exceeded my expectations. He took so much care in explaining things and was very personable to boot. A+++ - would definitely recommend.
Very good listener and I enjoyed him asking us our opinion and then also giving us options.
He didn't judge me, and my circumstance. That made me at ease and comfortable.
I would have expected them to hear what I wanted before telling me what they'll do.
He is phenomenal!
Dr. Letourneau is a very good doctor, and I would go back to him. I recommend him highly
Dr. Letourneau explains options and possible outcomes very clearly. He is really patient when answering questions.
It was a really bad experience for me. I suffered a lot pain to get the IUI done. The first three nurses/doctors didn't successfully perform my IUI and I still feel cramps untill today. The forth doctor was really nice and more professional.
Dr. L was wonderful. He isn't my usual provider. But He reassured me every step of the way. Pausing during the ultrasound to clarify things. Reassuring my spouse and I. He was so kind.
I'm so glad he let us come back for a second scan! We have a lot of anxiety about our baby and it was nice to have the reassurance that everything is going well.
Dr. Letourneau is a fantastic provider: he's very patient, knowledgeable, and supportive. He listens to and answers all my questions, he's very compassionate and provides excellent care!
Professional, friendly and observant. Showed concern and explained things in a detailed manner. Had the right amount of humor to keep me at easy over the procedure. Made me and my partner feel at ease
Dr Letourneau is the absolute BEST!!! Would & Will recommend him to EVERYONE!!!
Dr Letourneau is the best ! I will not regret even If I have to drive 45 miles one way and 45 miles another way in the future.
I think the staff needs to ask more questions to clarify situation when a patient complains of pain and symptoms. It feels like it was just brushed aside as normal, when later it was determined that it clearly was not. As a patient not having experienced new treatment before, it's hard to know what's normal or not.
Walked me through the whole procedure.
I was not provided with a good explanation of my results, after the procedure I felt very rushed and that they were pushing me on medications and procedures that had nor been fully explained.
still unsure of insurance issues. makes it hard to say whether I would recommend the clinic or not
Awesome doctor. He answered questions we didn't realize we had. Very kind, caring and I'm looking forward to working with him.
the Dr. was outstanding to comfort me during the appointment and point out specific things on the ultrasound that helped me see progress.
Dr. Letorneau is great: he takes time to explain the process but is also very patient and helpful answering my questions and addressing concerns.
as we are starting the process, great experience so far.
Dr Joseph Letourneau is absolutely polite and kind person. Even though it was my first visit-the beginning of my journey ,Dr seems super professional of his job
Dr Letourneau was very thorough as he discussed the process of IVF w me, during my initial appt. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient focused. I would definitely recommend Dr Letourneau to others.
I met with Meredith Humphreys, MD initially. she was very caring and answered all of my questions after miscarriage. She took the time to listen and answer all questions. Dr. Letourneau and his staff are amazing!
I had a lot of questions and Dr. Letourneau answered all of them very well and patiently.
I really liked discussing our options with this provider. we had a different consultation with someone else and they didn't answer any of our questions. out meeting with (Lautornue) was awesome! he drew pictures so we would better understand the process and he answered all the questions we had. he also made it fun.
He did an excellent job of speaking to our level of education about fertility, etc. I also really appreciated the follow up email with the next steps clearly laid out.
Out of the one hour appointment, we were waiting for 20 minutes (the resident was late), then the resident explained the process but went into too much detail that we already knew for 30 minutes. The remaining 10 minutes was spent with the doctor, which was not enough to address the questions that came up during the appointment. We will have to schedule another appointment and request to speak with the doctor for longer than 10 minutes.
he seemed knowledgeable and took my concerns seriously
Dr. Letourneau is the best fertility doctor I have ever worked with! He is thorough, discusses plans for treatment and explains his reasoning behind decisions. He listens to my concerns and takes them into account when developing my treatment plan. I would recommend him to anyone struggling with fertility.
Dr. Letourneau is awesome. He explains things very clearly, he makes me feel like we are in good hands and I am very happy with his bedside manner.
I love this office but lately I don't feel heard or understood but them.
Dr Letourneau listens and goes beyond answering just the question and explains everything in detail.
We didn't feel rushed and got all questions answered. He was great!
very thorough
he described what he saw on the US. he then told me what will probably need to happen next. I asked if the doctor would reach out to me to get going with the next step and he seemed a little uncertain.
everything was explained to me and all questions answered
Dr. Joseph Letourneau, he was wonderful, incredible, and priceless. He is the best doctor who I have never met before in my life. Even from our first visit, we were really happy and grateful for him to be our doctor in this journey.
absolutely recommend these doctors!
Dr. L and Dr. Humphries were great!
the nurse was fantastic
they made sure I was able to see the screen as they did my ultrasound and explained everything as they went and were VERY informative and helped me understand thoroughly my next steps in my care! thank you guys so much!!
overall I was given information and more. Dr. was very paciente.
Dr L is great. he walked me thru everything and what he was doing. I really like this office. but I wouldn't be sad not to come back if it ended with a pregnancy.
I really liked the care team: they were thorough, caring, and made sure my concerns were met.
Mi proceso o la razon por la cual acudi a este sitio esta en evaluacion, me ha gustado, me siento satisfecha y segura.
Dr. Laternou (Im spelling that wrong) followed up with me twice over the weekend. Ive never had a Dr. do that before and I hope he knows how appreciative I was of that.
Dr. Letourneau is an exceptionally knowledgeable and engaging provider. He spent as much time as it took to explain our options and worked collaboratively with us on establishing a plan for treatment.
I was very impressed with Dr. Letourneaus knowledge, attention to detail and willingness to listen & ask relevant questions. It was a very refreshing experience, different from the many other doctors Ive talked to about my PCOS.
Dr. Letourneau answered all my questions and explained everything clearly. He is always very helpful, trustworthy, and solution oriented.
