I can not begin to explain the kindness and compassion of the staff at Atlantic Reproductive Medicine! Dr. Walmer, Ms. Robyn, Lorrie, Jen and every other lady that stuck me with a needle treated us as if we were family! We had success with the first try despite what the statistics showed. We were blessed to have doctors who took the time to really understand their patient! Thank you for everything! We truly love you! ❤️👶

We cannot say enough to show our gratitude for Dr. Copland and the rest of the ARMS staff! Dr. Copland was always on top of our care and we never felt out of the loop during any of our treatments. Emily was one of the receptionists at the time and she was always so warm and welcoming. she always made things fit in with our crazy schedules. The nurses are AMAZING. The lab is phenomenal. Ultimately, we became an INVOcell success story and this wouldn't have been possible without their diligent care, attention to detail, and genuine concern for our well-being over the years. Dr. Copland always talked about "our head, our heart, and our pocketbook." All aspects of our care were addressed at each visit - medically, emotionally, financially, etc. This amazing practice made our dream a reality and we are so excited to return to them for baby #2 when the time comes!

....Depressing experience, thousands of dollars with nothing to show for it.

I wish there were enough words to truly express how grateful I am to Dr. Walmer and the whole entire staff at ARMS. I’ve wanted to write this review for months now, but it’s difficult for me to do it complete justice. My infertility road, a lot like many others who seek out a RE, was not without many winding paths, dead ends, and treacherous storms. We saw two RE’s before I stumbled across ARMS and Dr. Walmer throughout vast research on my part. When I tell you “third time’s the charm”, it’s the truth! My husband and I chose to drive over 2 hours over the course of 18 months to be patients here. From day one, we were treated like members of the family. We were not just heard, but listened to- every single fear, question, hesitation, and request. I can truly attest that every single person in that office (Dr. Copland, included, even though she wasn’t my primary physician) had our best interests in mine every step of the way. The knowledge, expertise, and bedside manner alone (all that any of us women need when navigating this lonely, frustrated path) is beyond compare. I tell every single person that is looking for a RE to come here, as they will finally feel like they are at “home”. After a 43 month journey, we are almost 22 weeks into our first pregnancy with a baby girl! My husband and I are already planning on when we will be returning for baby #2! Returning to my regular OB has made me miss the personalized care, respect, and love we have felt every appointment and interaction with everyone here. I wish I could give it 6 stars! We are beyond blessed and grateful to Dr. Walmer and his staff each and every day!! Thank you for helping us find our rainbow at the end of the storm.

You could absolutely not ask for a better experience. Everyone became family during our journey. After the death of my son and being told by other doctors chances were slim we could conceive Atlantic Reproductive turned our dream a reality and son is a perfect and beautifully healthy 2 old today.

There are no words to truly describe how wonderful Atlantic Reproductive is! From the moment we walked in the door, we were treated like family. Dr. Copland goes above and beyond. She is not only extremely knowledgeable and willing to spend the the time with you answering any and all your questions, but also very compassionate and caring. I work in a health care field and not once I have I seen a doctor take the extra steps she does to make her patients feel cared for. We also met with Dr. Walmer several times and he is just as wonderful, as is all of their staff! We looked forward to seeing Tracy, Mary, Alethia, and Katie at each visit and sincerely appreciate all of their hard work and care. From the front desk, to the embryologist and andrologist (Shawn and Robin), to Patti in the financial department our questions were always answered in a timely and caring fashion. We honestly miss seeing everyone there! I deal with physician offices every day and it is truly rare to find one where not only the doctors, but every staff member provides such excellent care. If you are debating on where to go, without a doubt, you will receive the BEST care possible at Atlantic Reproductive. To all of the staff there, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done for us, we appreciate it more than you could ever know! - Katherine and Bryan

We did an IVF trial with Atlantic Reproductive Medicine. It was horrible and when it was done they were awful to us. All we heard during our IVF treatment is how well things were going. Then I went for my egg retrieval and they were only able to get 6 eggs. They said I was 1 and 100 women who ovulated early. We were devastated. To top things off they came in to tell us the sperm sample from my husband wasn't great. They used it anyway and all 6 eggs didn't make it past day 4. After all of this happening they just stopped talking to us. They didn't go over other treatment opportunities. We are unsure why getting donor sperm was never brought up to us during this process. If they had we would have done that and we probably would have been successful with our IVF treatment. They just took our 30k and shut the door in our face. After all of this we were one of the first patients to try out their prepaid service. They didn't tell us at the beginning that our labs were not included. Labs that cost thousands of dollars. So we were heart broken, broke, still owe money and no one offered us any other options. This to me doesn't go along with what Dr Walmer put on WRAL this week. "Reproductive endocrinology is a field that is continuously changing, and that evolution gives us an opportunity to think creatively and think outside the box," said Dr. David Walmer. If your treatment goes well they are great. If it doesn't it all comes down to the money and at the end of the day they really don't care as long as they are paid.

Infertility, regardless of what "issue" you and your partner are working through, is challenging and often heartbreaking. It was so important for us to find someone who can serve as more than just a doctor with great bedside manner - they have to be educated, caring, innovative, compassionate, and driven.My husband and I are so blessed to have been referred to Dr. Walmer and Atlantic Reproductive Medicine by our OBGYN. Dr. Walmer is able to make the scary infertility struggle easier for couples trying to conceive and stays involved past conception. We're so lucky to be expecting our first baby in September with the help of Dr. Walmer and his wonderful team of nurses. Dr. Walmer makes sure to see his patients, and doesn't leave their care to the nurses (who are wonderful) - which was invaluable since he is the one directing your care. We cannot speak more highly of this excellent team!

I'm still on my journey, but having dedicated doctors and staff that listen to me along the way is very touching. Dr. Copland is truly amazing, patient and compassionate while making sure I get the best care along the way. This is a very sensitive and disheartening journey for everyone, so having a practice that makes you feel welcome and supported is very important. Many thanks to all of the staff at ARMS!

Dr. Walmer and the staff were excellent. They were so kind and my care was individualized. Everyone from the ladies at the front to the nurses to the physicians made a positive experience.

Can't say enough good things about the staff, nurses and the doctors. Our journey, while a long one, was one of the best experiences of our lives. They took their time and listened to our needs and mourned our lack of success initially with us. What a caring and loving group of people. Our now 3 week old twin boys are proof of this amazing team of people's care, love and dedication. Thank you for helping our family. We love you all.
