pregnancy loss after donor eggs. Would not use this doctor again.

I cannot sing Dr. Mitchell-Leef’s praises loudly enough. After learning that we had infertility issues from my regular OB/GYN, we were tasked with choosing a specialist out of many in the Atlanta area. My husband, a physician, knew to look no further than Dr. Mitchell-Leef. She is quite simply a pioneer in this field, and her reputation among physicians is one of being a renowned expert. That she certainly is. During my time as her patient, she diagnosed and/or brought new light to multiple issues that impacted our fertility, including endometriosis, autoimmune disease, and a genetic blood-clotting disorder. She thoughtfully, carefully, and wisely treated each one, including performing surgery, using cutting-edge medication treatments, and treating each cycle with precision and full attention. Throughout our journey, she was a combination of direct, honest, curious, hopeful, and patient. No matter what obstacle my body presented, she developed new plans and new approaches. I have no doubt that it is because of her care and the true dedication and top-notch training of her staff that we achieved two successful pregnancies and now have two healthy, happy children. Not a day passes that we don’t feel true gratitude for Dr. Mitchell-Leef and RBA. We continue to keep in touch with our team there and love sharing updates and photos as our children grow. I never hesitate to refer friends to Dr. Mitchell-Leef and have, numerous times, recommended that women get second opinions with her when they run into challenges with other clinics and physicians. It’s also worth mentioning that RBA has, without doubt, the mostly highly trained and specialized infertility urologist in all of Georgia. We saw Dr. Witt for male factor infertility while my infertility was being managed. He was nothing short of wonderful. We now have the family we always dreamed of and long thought we’d never create, all thanks to RBA, these physicians, and their team.

Love Dr. Mitchell-Leef. She was amazingly supportive through our long journey to become parents. I had many complications, but every dead end we ran in to. I felt assured that she still had another gameplan we could try. And she didM. Her we are with three beautiful RBA babies (twins and a singleton). I couldn't be more happy with the entire RBA team, and I thank God for Dr ML for helping me grow my family.

My experience with RBA of Atlanta was nothing but positive. I’m 33 years old (with a low AMH level of only .54) and recently froze my eggs through RBA .
Dr. Mitchell was very patient and thorough. She even even shared stories of the successes she had had with other patients despite difficult circumstances. She made me feel 100% comfortable and confident.
The process was NOT as hard as people make it out to be. I did not find the shots painful and the timeframe that you have to give them to yourself is flexible am and pm. The appointments are frequent (almost every day), but RBA is extremely flexible and I always got an appointment early enough each day to make it to work on time.
RBA nurses are extremely patient, friendly and informative. They are easily available via phone or email and always got back to me asap. They also helped me save a lot of money.
It’s a process- but just 5 days after my procedure I felt completely back to normal.
Despite my low AMH, Dr. Mitchell successfully froze 10 of my eggs! There is nothing like the sense of relief and “insurance policy” in knowing that I have 10 healthy, 33 year old eggs to use in the future when I’m ready to start a family.
I could not be more thankful for Dr. Mitchell, Nurse Nancy, Nurse Susan, and the rest of the staff for making my experience as positive as it could be. I will definately be back when I’m ready to take the next step!

I can’t say enough about Dr. Mitchell-Leef and her team at Reproductive Biology Associates.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Mitchell-Leef’s for nearly ten years, starting with egg vitrification in 2005, through four rounds of IVF and the conception and birth of our healthy daughter in 2014.

Throughout the years, I have been incredibly touched by the kind and generous spirit of Dr. Mitchell-Leef – from the many personal phone calls on nights and weekends, to her willingness to bend over backwards to accommodate her out-of-town patients.

Despite that fact that she is a pioneer in her field and respected worldwide for her professional contributions, Dr. Mitchell-Leef never forgets that she is a mother first, lending her talents to those who want desperately to become mothers.

Dr. Mitchell-Leef goes above and beyond treating the medical issues of her patients and considers their emotional, psychological and spiritual well being. She cares deeply for her patients.

My family is extremely fortunate to have been touched by Dr. Mitchell-Leef.

Prior to going to Dr Mitchell & RBA, my dh and I went to other doctors for several years without success. We were about to give up when we decided to go to RBA. Dr. Mitchell-Leef and the RBA team are great! After they diagnosed and resolved my fertility issue, I was pregnant within four months. Now, we have a healthy and happy baby boy. I'm very appreciative to Dr. Mitchell and RBA for my family.

Saw Dr. Mitchell Leef in 2005 after trying to get pregnant for 3 years. Had already been to another office and no luck. She did exploratory surgery and found I had endometriosis so bad my bowel was wrapped around one of my ovaries. I also had a ovarian cysts, and tilted uterus. Long story short, 3 months later I was pregnant with triplets. They will be 8 this year. Can not say enough about her. She was very honest and direct and very thorough. After being coddled at the other doctor, I appreciated her honest and aggressive treatment. I would highly recommend her!

Felt like cattle. This doctor charged $250 for about a 20 minute consult. Told us we needed to do IVF ASAP then sent us to another room where several staff members went over fees. We were crushed. Found Dr Leef very inconsiderate. Went to another doctor. Dr Randell he was wonderful and told us no reason why I couldn't get preggers. Got pregnant 3 months later NATURALLY. Have a healthy baby boy.

After two failed ivfs due to poor eggs quality, we went to RBA for its egg donor bank. The staff there is great; they communicate efficiently via email, I loved it! Dr ML put me on a Lupron depot regiment for 3 months prior to the ivf cycle due to my stage 4 endometriosis (improve chances of implantation); my previous ivf dr did not suggest that. Then Dr ML allowed my regular obgyn to do the 27 blood tests required and a polyp removal to save us money (Dr ML wasn't within my BCBS network at that time).. Dr ML gave my obgyn instructions on the polyp removal. For our actual ivf, we had a tough time getting my lining thickness up; Dr ML adjusted my meds and was patient (instead of foregoing the first cycle). We transfered 2 blastocysts and froze 4. I am now 10 weeks along and just "graduated" from RBA. :) I highly recommend RBA. :)

God and Dorothy Mitchell-Leef gave us our children. Through thick and thin, she hung in there and I still think of her as a most beloved doctor 25 years later. My husband and I love her, are ever so grateful to her, and think most highly of her!
