Thalia Segal is such an amazing, compassionate and caring Doctor. You won’t feel like a number you will feel like a person and heard. You will have customized care and not have to repeat testing already completed by other Doctors. Nurses front desk and lab staff were all friendly and welcoming! - KELLY LEHL
My husband and I are absolutely blown away by Collab Fertility and Dr. Segal! From our first meeting, I was immediately struck by her compassion, clear expertise, kindness, and exceptional communication. Having been through the difficult process of IVF for over a year and using two other clinics, I speak from experience that there is NO ONE better than Dr. Segal and her clinic. We hope that through our own experience, others can benefit in their fertility journey like we finally now are. - LISSA AND JUSTIN
Dr. Segal and her staff are absolutely amazing. I came to Dr. Segal feeling very scared about my fertility options. She listened to my concerns, reassured me, and worked with me to create a plan that made me feel secure about my future. She has taken the time to educate me—I’ve learned so much about fertility health and the options available through her. -SHERISE
