ETSU Health Fertility & Urogynecology

Infertility is not a fun journey to walk through. Dr. Ransom, and his nurse Tasha are always so pleasant. Tasha always helps when ever she can, and answers any questions you may have. I know she probably deals with alot of anxious people- but she is always so kind. Thank you both for making this hard journey as pleasant as it can be!

From the age of 12 -13 anyone in my life knows Ive always had girl issues , month long periods, sharping pain cramps and from the 1st dr I had till April of this year its always been its just hormones Ive had a chemical pregnancy, I knew something was wrong and has always been wrong but the fact that its been so hard to advocate for myself cause no matter where I went or what doctor I went to they treated me as if I was crazy and my hormones were in balanced and I need birthcontrol or some type of hormone pill , they would do bloodwork and call it a day , I cannot express how much the Healthcare system fails women everyday from the moment we start a new phase of life . When I had given up cause it felt like I had Noone to turn to. I cannot express the gratitude and joy I have to have got to meet my doctor , Dr ransom from the moment I stepped in his office and promised me he would help find out whats truly wrong and not only that done it with one test and in only 2 visits . Tomorrow I will finally be having surgery to remove my probelm that Ive lived with for YEARS , thanks to him. I can have a normal monthly , and later on I can start and have a child all because I finally got to a doctor that cared if I was still with any of the other Drs I dont know where Id be right now my mental health was decreasing every visit he wanted me to take medicine every month for 10 months till everything done what it was supposed to even tho it already didnt work the 3 months before . The amount of emotional stress I had was maxed out but after tomorrow this long journey Ive had finally comes to a end once again I can express my gratitude enough to the best doctor Ive EVER had DR Mark Ransom

Week n half ago was our first visit. The nurse in the front desk was very kind! She is an sweetheart, very helpful and patient with our questions, took her time to answer everything we needed to know. Dr Mark Ransom was so kind too. He is very knowledgeable, clearly knows what hes talking about. Very patient with my hearing disability and made sure I understood everything he was saying and very clear with instructions & what to expect in next few appointment. I left feeling hopeful.This wk, I had my 2nd appointment, all the staff are very considerate and thoughtful, sweet, kind. I feel very comfortable and calm there. Doctor is very sweet! Results came in, everything doctor assumed on his best guess in the first appointment was correct.Says a lot about his knowledgeable about fertility. Thanking the Lord for guiding us to Dr. Ransom. Praying for success!

Dr. Ransom and his staff treated us with the utmost respect. After dealing with infertility for over a year and getting nowhere with my wifes OB. We went to Dr. Ransom and he answered every question before we even had the opportunity to asked them, didnt hesitate on solutions, and had a positive pregnancy test within 2 months of seeing him. He was kind, understanding, and just came across as a very nice person. We cant recommend him enough. We will definitely go back if we decide to have another.

Dr Ransom informed me my body wasn’t producing progesterone on its own so I could not conceive and even if I did I would miscarry without it. Nurse Lexy was the nurse at all 4 of my IUI procedures back to back, after my fourth failed iui attempt he looked at my chart and asked me why they didn’t have me on progesterone! I responded with, “I thought the same thing and had said something to his nurse several times about it. His face got red and he said this time (5th iui) he would prescribe me progesterone. I’ve been on a break since that appointment, 2 in a half years ago, not to mention they keep sending me a bill for $112!! I’ve paid out of pocket every single visit and owed them nothing!! I am definitely owed 4 iui procedures or all of my money back and taking the next step

Dr. Ransom is very kind and knowledgeable. After four consecutive miscarriages my husband and I went to Dr. Ransom where he was able to help us get pregnant with our rainbow baby and carry full term. He even called after hours with bloodwork results. When it comes to infertility and miscarriage, emotions rise and it’s a sensitive subject. If you’re looking for someone to hold your hand and tell you everything is going to be okay, maybe this isn’t the right doctor for you. But if you’re looking for someone competent and who will do whatever he can to help you achieve your goal of having a baby, this is the doctor for you.

Would not return to this clinic if it was the last place for any type of refuge in the process of an end of world apocalypse. The notes they sent to my OB had false information in it which could potentially harm my health care. They prescribed me a hormone medication and advised that I could still get pregnant while taking it. I went for a follow up apt to execute a plan for my healthcare. my husband and I sat in their exam room for 2 n 1/2 hours to be told by a nurse that they could not find my paperwork and to leave and they would contact me within a week. Never heard from them after a few weeks so I called to inquire and was told unless I needed fertility treatments to not bother to even call them.Three weeks ago I went for a check up with my OB and found out I was pregnant. As you can imagine I was so excited because I was under the impression I would never be able to conceive. When my OB tried to make me an ultrasound appointment they were not able to because the fertility clinic had sent over 400 dollars worth of a collection of bills they never sent me. I paid it so that I could even receive medical care for my pregnancy. I miscarried because of the medication the clinic put me on you are apparently NOT supposed to conceive while on this medicine.

My husband and I so far have had a great experience. De. Ransom is very kind and professional and all staff members a great! Will update after our final appointment with him.

I was told I had a 5% chance or less of ever being pregnant without IVF because I have stage 4 endometriosis and my husband has low motility. I questioned a procedure that would help my husbands motility (varicocele repair) and he told us it likely wouldn’t work from what he’s seen in the past with his many years of experience, so we decided to do IVF instead. $18k later for IVF with ICSI we yielded low embryo numbers, which is not his fault, but when we went for transfer of our 2/3 embryos, he couldn’t even positively identify the catheter in the fundus of my uterus before he concluded it was okay and transferred them anyway. I was swollen still from egg retrieval, borderline OHSS. Our transfer didn’t work and from the moment it didn’t work his personality changed and he was not nearly as friendly with us in the office. I know the failed IVF was not his fault but I was very disappointed in how we were treated. The embrynologist Natalie and his medicine nurse, Michelle I think, are fantastic. The nurse was never very friendly that rounds with him, Lacie. She is very distant and seems like she has no compassion for people, especially going through infertility treatments. I always felt like I was wasting her time and getting on her nerves. We finally did get the procedure anyway to help my husbands motility after our failed IVF and we then conceived naturally 4 months later, imagine that. I will never see this man again. He is all about the money and could care less if you conceive. Do not waste you time or money. If you truly need help, go anywhere else.

GO ELSEWHERE!! I was diagnosed with Unexplained Infertility @ Quillen Women’s Clinic in 2020. Following the doctor’s advice we did the hyper-ovulation treatment using Clomid. He gave us the option of pairing that with timed intercourse or IUI. We had already spent a few thousand dollars on tests, all out of pocket because our insurance doesn’t cover fertility testing or treatment, so we opted for timed intercourse, under the doctors guidance!! They “guided” us through that twice at nearly another $2k. No baby. I gave up on Quillen and took all of my results to Carolina Fertility Clinic for a second opinion. Within 5 minutes of beginning my ultrasound Dr. Mesen @ Carolina Fertility diagnosed me with endometriosis! I am 36 years old and have always had terrible periods and included a familial history of endometriosis in my new patient paperwork for Quillen and was STILL diagnosed with Unexplained Infertility. Hyper-ovulation treatment without IUI would NEVER had worked for us!! We wasted our time and our money at Quillen. Don’t make the same mistake we did!! Go elsewhere & read the reviews!

Worst clinic ever. My wife has been seeing him for a 1.5 years where she required a monthly shot for endometriosis. We have not been able to get in for an appointment in 8 months and he has not helped us at all on our options for fertility. Though we not have to drive out of state, its well worth it to see another practice.

Dr. Ransom and staff are very thorough and understanding. After a procedure, he called me directly to inform me of the results. I have referred several others to Dr. Ransom and they have positive success stories as well.

Dr. Ransom and his team are excellent. They truly care. I highly recommend him!

They Will not support natural pregnancies after procedures and give you the run around about treatment. My pregnancy needed support with additional hcg but they were too busy trying to milk my insurance for all the money they could. I lost my baby and they didn’t care enough to return a call.

He is amazing! Extremely thoughtful and caring. Listens to you and forms a plan to fit you best.

Staff is very unprofessional. I wouldn’t given them any stars but that was not the option

Love Dr Ransom hes so caring and listens to me.

Such a great doctor and such a great atmosphere.

Horrible experience would not recommend.

Wonderful doctor!

Best doctor ever!
