I had to be seen for an ectopic pregnancy in 2023 for Methotrexate Injections.. I seen Dr. Meter, He was absolutely rude and unsympathetic.. the sweet little nurse that was in the room with us had asked me a couple questions, I answered her because she asked, he then yelled at me and told me I was to talk to him and not his nurses because he was the Dr. I swore I'd never go back because of the way I was treated by him.... Fast forward to now, I've currently been going back for fertility treatment, seeing Dr. Rowan who is absolutely amazing. Today I had an HSG test with Dr. Rowan & Dr. Holly Beck 10/10 Recommend them and Nurse Misty...I don't take pain well at all and the test was seriously not bad like the horrific stories I've read, the speculum was the worst part. & the test took less than 5 minutes. I would have it done again if needed!

My husband and I had our first appointment this past Friday and I can say, we absolutely loved our NP, Holly. She matches my personality so well. She is very thorough, caring, and wanting what’s best. She gave us options and let us go with what’s comfortable for us. We agreed to everything she recommended. I was so scared before our appointment I was shaking. By the end, I felt so relieved. She calmed my nerves and made me feel like an actual person, and not just a number. I highly recommend them already!!

I don't quite understand why there are so many bad reviews against Dr. Meter. My wife and I have 3 daughters thanks to him and his treatments. He was a bit different but he would sit with us for 30 minutes if necessary and discuss options etc. I really don't care what he acted like, so long as he didn't disrespect my wife, as long as he helped us have children. Let's just say that the supposed "best" doctor for infertility in the Pittsburgh region couldn't help my wife, neither could two others. Dr Meter brought us success in having children and for that I will be forever grateful. I believe where most of the bad reviews come from is that many people don't like to hear the truth today and are way too sensitive and take things personally. Dr Meter often cut right to the chase when he spoke. He got right to the point. I remember when he had to run a test on my wife in a hospital environment that often makes a woman feel very uncomfortable and sometimes faint. The entire time his biggest concern was how she was doing and if she felt discomfort his instructions were to let him know immediately. There was a nurse or two who didn't seem to care for men too much but I've found that when dealing with reproductive medicine and maternity in general that is often what you'll find among the nurses so it was not a surprise. Overall I think Dr Meter was fantastic. He helped us have children when nobody else could help my wife.

0/5 stars. My wife and I were so excited to start our journey to become parents and I overlooked red flags but as time went on I couldn’t believe how awful things became. On our first visit the consultant spoke with us telling us about options and a general guideline of the process. When Dr. Meter entered the room (both my wife and I in masks) his first words were “haven’t I gotten you pregnant before.” This behavior continued as he never seemed to know what was going on with scheduled visits or our case. I’d come in for vaginal ultrasounds and he would ask me why I was there. He’d enter the room and point to me (while my wife was present) and say “we’re doing scheduled intercourse right?” After my HSG test he said he “thinks” I may have a cyst or “it’s probably nothing, it could be something, or likely just a bubble” never clarified what he saw or what it meant, then became very aggressive with some kind of exploratory surgery. Without knowing or being given an explanation why I was very uncomfortable about having surgery and asked if we could do another round or IUI before considering surgery. He said yes but if 2 more IUI attempts fail we should seriously consider surgery. When I came in for an ultrasound (which they do prior to IUI rounds) he asked why I was there and why I hadn’t scheduled my surgery. He then for 3 days in a row said we couldn’t do an IUI attempt bc he didn’t see any follicles. At this point I stopped going and found a new Dr. My new specialist repeated my HSG and clarified that I had a fibroid outside of my uterus and it definitely didn’t require surgery AND surgery could have been more damaging causing uterine growth issues when I became pregnant. I spoke with the clinic to arrange having my sperm sent to my new clinic and what was required, the day before my sperm was to be picked up they called me for fees that had never been mentioned to me prior. I do not trust this clinic and although Dr. Meter has retired (not soon enough) I did not have a good experience with the staff. The nurses are indifferent and appear uncomfortable during appointments, I feel like costs should be disclosed up front and not last minute. All in all, horrible experience. I understand there are not many options in the area but I would definitely try to look elsewhere. I felt very uncomfortable as a lesbian trying to get pregnant and as a woman in general.

My partner and I are absolutely thrilled to be working with Dr. Heitmann as we are trying to conceive our first baby. He is very professional, friendly, and makes us both feel comfortable. We leave the appointments with all of the information we need which is wonderful. We've also had a great experience with the other staff - Vickie, Misty, and Holly thank you for your kindness, and showing that you truly care.
