Dr.P and his staff are absolutely amazing. They took my concerns very seriously and even made extra phone calls to my fiance to explain things to him when he couldn’t make appointments. They worked quickly and I got pregnant first round. Being high risk they also took great care and I now have a healthy little girl!
Infertility is such a stressful and emotional journey. The rollercoaster of emotions as you go through each step of the way is overwhelming. The ups and downs, the sudden u-turns. You just never know what to expect but celebrate each win on any obstacle you might faceI finally graduated from RMA and only have utmost gratitude to Dr. Patounakis. He is truly the best doctor Ive ever had. He is super smart and also very hands-on with the care he provides. I could not imagine navigating through this whole journey to become a mother without him.
My husband and I were referred to RMA after 2 back to back miscarriages and although we were hopeful to get some answers we were also not sure if there was a long road ahead of us with testing and possible treatment. From our first appointment, Dr. P, Roma and their team were incredibly thorough and to the point and they wanted to make our dream of having a baby a reality as much as we wanted it for ourselves. Every team member we interacted with was so kind and knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable and confident we were in the right place every step of the way. We got pregnant after our first round of treatment and currently 8 1/2 weeks and we wouldn’t have made it this far if it wasn’t for RMA. We can’t thank them enough. Highly recommend.
This is the best clinic hands down not only because of the amazing staff and doctor but the process was as smooth and throughout as it could it been. If you are looking for a fertility clinic around Central Florida really consider them! I drove an hour to see them and was worth every single drive! I am happily expecting my first baby and couldn’t have done it without RMA. Me and my husband recommend them to everyone trying to conceive.
Dr. P and his team at RMA in Lake Mary are amazing!! My husband and I have worked with 2 other clinics before, 2 failed IUIs and 1 failed round of IVF. We decided to move on the RMA, and I am so glad we did!Dr. P was very thorough and tailored our treatment plan to our specific needs, keeping in mind our family history and other factors that may be impacting our fertility journey. Our very first embryo transfer with RMA was successful! Our little one is due in November!!Also, RMA submitted all charges through insurance. While not everything was covered, it was still much more affordable than our previous clinic.
RMA took the best care of my husband and I. They were always so patient and so accommodating. Dr P. is so personable and kind. Infertility is scary and uncertain but this office made me and my husband feel so much more comfortable with the process of everything and we now have a 1 year old son, thanks to the help of RMA
EDIT: even in your comment all you can say is “it’s policy” but refuse to answer why or acknowledge the issues I had with your staff. Once again, you only care about the money you make off of people. I told my doctors office how you guys treated me and they were very ashamed of you guys. DO BETTER!It’s such a shame that a woman can’t get fertility testing unless she puts down her partner and they get tested as well. Just spoke to Kristen and she was so disrespectful. I will be calling back to cancel my appointment. All I wanted was to have an ultrasound to get tested for my fertility and they literally said if my fiance doesn’t do the intake forms they will cancel my appointment. When I asked why he was being forced to do all this she just told me it’s policy. I asked what policy and why this is policy and she just said “I’ll cancel your appointment if he refuses to do the forms”. Clearly you don’t care about your patients, just money.
I can not begin to express the most gratitude and thankfulness to this amazing practice and everyone who works there. I, like most women, was not sure what to expect when I walked in for my first appointment. I was unsure if anyone or anything could help me reach my goals of becoming pregnant. I was recommended to RMA by my OB/GYN. Dr. P was compassionate, caring, and always took the time to explain everything to me and made sure I understood everything! The entire staff was always pleasant and kind from the moment you walked in the door to the time you walk out! Going through this journey no one talks or prepares you for the emotional toll, this office keeps you updated and informed to make it easier to process any news, good or bad, that they may tell you! I highly recommend this office, this practice, this doctor to anyone who is looking for help in their infertility journey!!
We cannot thank Dr. P and his staff enough for making our dream come true!!! We suffered with infertility for over 5 years and now have a happy and healthy 2.5 month old baby boy. We visited another fertility clinic in Orlando that was not professional and the doctor would not listen to our wishes. We made an appointment with Dr P and from the first appointment we made a game plan and began the steps right away. It took us a total of 4 months to conceive from start to finish. I wish we had went to RMA much sooner. The staff treats you amazing, their office is set up like a hospital so very professional, they have early appointments so you can go before work for all of your appointments, they work weekends when needed, and Dr P is very informative and reassuring through the process. Thank you Dr P for listening to us and for giving us our dream of parenthood! The work you are doing is beyond amazing ❤️
I cannot say enough good things about this clinic, Dr. P, Roma, nursing staff, reception- every single person I encountered at this office was amazing. From my very first consultation, there was a plan in place and I always knew what the next step was. I never felt like I had to micromanage or badger anyone about testing, lab results, etc, because I knew I was in the best of hands, and anyone that finds themself needing reproductive assistance knows what a relief this is. Dr. P is so compassionate and straightforward; it would be difficult to find anywhere with better or more personalized care. I would give this office and every single person that works here infinite stars if I could, 5 is simply not enough.
It took me a while to write this review because of some trauma from previous losses and horrible treatment with another clinic in Orlando.I started treatments in 2020 elsewhere and went through a failed iui, 2 egg retrievals, and about 7 failed embryo transfers including 2 losses. We made the decision in 2023 to switch over to RMA.By February of 2023 we had our first consultation.By May we were having a retrieval and wound up with 8 normal embryos. Way more than I ever had at the previous clinic.By early September I had my first embryo transfer.I’m still in complete shock that I am now 32 weeks pregnant from that very first embryo transfer after so many years of trying and failing. I am so grateful to Dr. P and his team. They were professional, result driven, kind, and patient with all of my (embarrassingly extensive) anxieties. Thank you so much for everything!
I had a very positive/relatively easy experience here. I began seeing Roma and ended with my last appointment with Dr. P. Both were instrumental with helping us become pregnant and now Im 16 weeks! Staff was always very polite and always responded in a timely manner when I had questions. Thank you guys again, and well be back for our second try.
Dr. P and the care team at RMA are the best medical providers I have ever had, period. They truly care for your wellbeing and approach your care with honesty and compassion. I saw Dr. P at almost every single one of my appointments, no matter how routine. And Roma and the nurses were always kind, helpful, and communicative if I had questions. I went to two different fertility clinics before becoming a patient at RMA and the difference was night and day. At the other clinics, I felt as though I constantly had to advocate for myself and be ready to catch mistakes or oversights in my treatment plan. At RMA, I always knew I was in good hands and could trust them implicitly. That was an enormous relief, because infertility takes a huge emotional toll all on its own. I had a difficult case and a number of very devastating failures before finally achieving success. There were times I was ready to throw in the towel, but Dr. P was incredibly reassuring and made it clear he wasnt going to give up on me just because I was a tough case. I honestly dont think I would have achieved a viable pregnancy if not for the outstanding, personalized care that I received at RMA. I am so incredibly grateful for all theyve done for me. I cant speak highly enough of them and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone struggling with infertility.
Suppose you are going through infertility issues and decide on IVF. This is the place to go! The whole office has such a good vibe throughout the entire process. I cant say enough good things about the whole crew! I just did my egg retrieval. Walking onto the table, they had the song Eye of the Tiger playing, like, yeah, thats right, we’re going to beat this infertility shyt. Fingers crossed, I get my baby this year! I wouldnt want to work with anybody else. Thank you, Ladies and Dr. Patounakis.
Words cannot express how amazing RMA Lake Mary is. Dr. Patounakis is hands down the best doctor we’ve had the pleasure of knowing. We found the clinic on a Facebook support group, and my wife and I loved his office from the very first visit! We really appreciated how calm he was during this entire process, and how he always provided us the information we needed in a way where it was understood. He made the tough calls not feel so tough, and the good news feel so sincere; we could tell he and the staff were just as excited as we were. We really hope to see him and his team again soon in the future.I highly recommend him for any LGBTQ+ couples trying for a baby!! Good luck to anyone reading this review, we wish you the best and hope your fertility journey is as successful ours was! -Love the Lewis Family!
We had an amazing experience with Dr. P at RMA. From his clinical knowledge, passion for what he does, professionalism, dedication and compassion when things don’t go as planned, we wouldn’t go anywhere else. I have referred numerous friends and colleagues to his practice as I want them in the best of hands. The entire RMA staff felt like family during one of our most difficult times. We are expecting our little miracle any day now and we could’ve never done this without Dr. P.
I could not recommend Dr. Patounakis and his team at RMA enough! The entire staff is so professional, welcoming, attentive, and kind. They always stay on top of all your upcoming appointments, and any time I had questions I would receive a phone call or message back the same day. You are never waiting long to get called back for your appointment that day, as they run a very tight ship. I also have to add that Jewel is an amazing person, and I am so grateful she is apart of the team at RMA. My very first IUI with them was a success, and I could never thank them enough! You can truly tell they all care about their patients, and put all their time and effort into making your dreams and wants come true! If you are looking for an amazing fertility clinic, I would 100% recommend Dr. P !!
I have so many GREAT things to say about Doctor Patounakis and RMA Lake Mary. We are 15 weeks pregnant today due to his expertise. I am forever thankful for what he has done for my husband and me. We had spent the last two years doing countless IUIs and IVF before hearing about RMA. We switched to RMA and only hoped for the best, and we got BETTER than the best. The team onsite is top notch from the receptionist to the nurses. They run a tight ship and are very punctual and stay on an organized schedule. I appreciated this since my schedule with work is so busy. Doctor Patounakis is not only an excellent Doctor but a wonderful person. He cares deeply about his patients, and I truly feel he was put on earth to help others in need. It is emotional for me to think about what he did for us and what he has done for so many other families. My husband and I would drive 45 minutes one way to go to RMA, but in all honesty, I would drive 5 hours one way for the service and care they provided. We are forever thankful. Thank you to this amazing Doctor/person and his lovely staff. They all work so hard to make you and your family a priority. I highly recommend RMA. They gave us a beautiful baby girl due 7/21!
I have been to 3 fertility clinics in the Orlando area, and RMA is by far the best. The wait times are next to nothing, the staff is so friendly, and youre always going to see Dr. Patounakis for your ultrasounds and procedures. I would 100% recommend this office if you are looking to get quality care and feel like a person instead of a number. Im about to give birth to my first child through IVF, and I will definitely be going back to RMA for my next ones as well!
RMA was the best choice towards our fertility journey. We started back in October 2022. Dr P gave us a game plan beginning day 1. The thing that stuck out most to me was he asked how I was feeling. I felt heard. I felt like I was in a safe space. I felt like I was finally getting answers. January 2023 was when procedures started. Bloodwork, ultrasounds, everything to get me to where I needed to be in order to find out why I wasnt getting pregnant naturally and how we were going to get me there. We did 1 round of medicated cycle and 4 rounds of IUI. The staff answered any questions and all questions I had even if they were random questions. My husband and I graduated from the clinic in January 2024 at 8 weeks pregnant. I couldnt be more grateful for the entire staff and everybody we encountered. I highly recommend going to RMA for fertility treatments. They care about you. They listen to you. (Dr. P suggested moving onto IVF but I wanted one last round of IUI, he didnt push or tell me no. He said okay, lets get that scheduled) It was bittersweet being released but any questions Ive had or any updates, the staff will gladly accept them! I love you all and thank you for being with us for this journey. I hope I dont have to see you again for more treatment in the future but if I do, you know where Im going!
While I am still under the care of Dr. P and his team, I can’t thank them enough. From my first appointment I have never questioned if I chose to right clinic. While infertility makes you feel like nothing is going right, Dr. P and his staff are always there to reassure you that everything is in fact okay. I pass SO many clinics in my 1 hour drive to their office - they make every drive worth it!
Dr P & the RMA Florida team take patient care to a whole new level. When you’re working with them toward your reproductive goals they care for you as if you were family. They’re always available, have a flexible schedule, and truly provide personalized service. Dr P is the best at what he does and if there’s anyone who can help you grow your family it’s him & his team at RMA Florida.
Our experience at RMA has been top-notch. I would not trust anyone else with our fertility care. We have been with Dr. P for years, our journey has been difficult, but the staff and Dr. P has been supportive every step of the way. Ive always felt like he was as invested in us having a baby as we were. Dr. P answers all our questions, hes accessible, and supports his reasoning as to why he is or isnt doing something. I have always felt like we were his only patients, thats type of care is hard to find. The staff is amazing and friendly. RMA is a well-oiled machine and have had nothing but a positive experience.
Im glad I decided to look for a second opinion and went to Dr. P, he is the best doctors I have ever had. He is very hands on and very dedicated to the success of his patients. 1 month ago I gave birth to my miracle baby and I will be eternally grateful for everything.I would 100% recommend Dr.P if you are looking to get quality care.
Dr P was one of the best doctors I have ever had. He is very hands on and very dedicated to the success of his patients. My case was complex and took some time. Through that time he was happy to continue to help us and invest in our journey to completing our family.
The entire team at RMA lake Mary is absolutely amazing from Dr. P to the nursing staff to the front desk. Everyone is super compassionate and understanding and they take the time to explain things thoroughly and provide options. If it wasn’t for the team at RMA, I would have never had my baby boy who we love beyond measure. Thank you so much!!
RMA, Dr P and his staff run an amazingly efficient office. He and his staff are thorough, helpful and value the time of their patients. Nurses are available to answer any questions. Dr P examined me every single appointment throughout my process. The treatment plan was laid out far enough in advance that I was easily able to work around my hectic schedule for monitoring appointments and knew when/what to expect in my comprehensive treatment plan that was created just for me. Each appointment started promptly on time, if not early. I recommend this office to anyone who is needing fertility assistance! RMA Lake Mary made one of the most stressful and vulnerable times in my life feel like a breeze. I am so grateful to have been treated by Dr P and his outstanding staff.
I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for Dr P and the RMA team! Going into a fertility treatment can be stressful and the fear of the unknown was very scary for me. I was recommended to Dr P by my OBGYN and from the moment I walked in to RMA I felt extremely comfortable and my nerves were calmed. Dr P explained everything to me, was there every step of the way, and always had a plan of action if something needed to be changed. His attention to detail, compassion, and commitment to his patients is unprecedented. In addition, his staff is simply the best, very professional, friendly and always made you feel so welcome. Scheduling was never an issue due to their flexible hours and I was always able to get in with my crazy work schedule. It is all thanks to him and the RMA team that we are blessed with the unexpected surprise of twins due this fall. One thousand thank you’s are not enough, we can not begin to express how truly thankful we are!
If I could give this doctor and his office 500 stars I would. Dr. P and his staff were so amazingly patient, kind, helpful and caring. Dr. Patounakis NEVER rushed out of the door. When we had questions, he answered them fully. We didn’t wait in the waiting room longer than 10 minutes to be called back or longer than 5 minutes in the room before he came in to see us. Ann Marie, his nurse always called me back within the same day with precise answers for whatever questions or concerns I had. The front office staff were always able to workout a time to see us for appointments and so polite every single time. Every staff member had smiles on their faces and just glad to be able to help people like ourselves with infertility concerns to be able to create a family. I cannot say enough positive words for Dr. P’s hard work, attention to detail, commitment to his patients and compassion he has shown us during our journey that led us to our little girl. Thank you Dr. P & office staff for everything you have done for us and for every family you care for. We will forever be grateful for you!
Even though we did not have success with our 3 IUI treatments, I must say that the staff here are wonderful. We have tried other fertility clinics, and RMA has been the most reliable, straightforward, compassionate, and clean. Dr. P listened to us, educated us, and never treated us like a number. As a nurse, I was impressed by the efficient, systematic approach they had in their office. Of all the times I was there, I was never left to wait more than just a few minutes. They run a tight ship and I will recommend them to anyone in need of fertility treatment.
Dr. Patounakis and the entire team at RMA Lake Mary are compassionate, professional, and offer the highest quality of fertility care in the Orlando area. Every appointment and encounter with his office is extremely pleasant and straight-forward. After treating for a year and a half with another fertility clinic in the area, my husband and I decided to transfer our care to RMA. It has easily been one of the best decision we’ve ever made. Dr. Patounakis and the RMA team made this difficult process a lot easier for me. I knew I could trust him right from the start. He was well acquainted with my history and provided an explanation for every recommendation that was made throughout my care. You can trust that he has your best interests in mind and shares the common goal of helping to build your family. He is methodical and certainly an expert, in my opinion. During our first meeting Dr. Patounakis said something that stuck with me throughout this entire process, which was “I can’t guarantee you a baby, but I can guarantee that you will be cared for here.” Let’s be honest, nothing in life is guaranteed including the outcome of our fertility efforts, but he was absolutely correct. I have always been cared for throughout my treatment and while he couldn’t guarantee it, we did just graduate from RMA and are expecting our first child in April, all thanks to Dr. Patounakis and his lovely team. I cannot sing enough praises for this physician and the entire office!
Dr. Patounakis and his amazing team are the best there is. We have been with RMA Florida for over a year and while we are still in our fertility journey waiting on our miracle, every step of the way Dr. P has made it better. The team knows you before you even tell them your name when you check in. Dr. P explains everything in detail and with unfailing compassion. I’ve never met another doctor that made me feel so heard and seen. If you are struggling with infertility it’s the hardest time in your life and every day can be a challenge to just get through, but with Dr. P and the staff at RMA, you never feel alone. There is hope, and this is the place where we are going to make our miracle baby, I just know it.
I’ve been waiting to write this review for the past 9 months!!! After years of struggling with infertility and having several failed outcomes, we finally found success. Initially, we started at another clinic in Orlando, which will remain nameless but it was awful. We felt like just another number and never heard from the doctor unless we came in for an appointment. They essentially gave up on us when we were not ready to give up ourselves. That’s when we transitioned to Dr.Patounakis at RMA in lake Mary. Immediately noticed a wonderful difference in clinic atmosphere and staff. We felt heard and supported. Dr. P had confidence in our situation when we didn’t and he gave us hope for a positive outcome. We loved that since he is the only MD at this clinic, that he is involved in every aspect of your journey and all your appointments. His staff is refreshingly friendly and warm and it’s been a pleasure to have been a patient of theirs. We owe Dr. P and his team all the credit in the world for them helping to fulfill our dreams. Every time we look at our daughter and hold her, we can’t help but think that if we never changed clinics and became a patient at RMA, that she wouldn’t be here. We encourage anyone who is struggling to not give up and do not hesitate to see Dr. P. He changed our lives for the better and we can’t recommend him enough!
Dr. P restored my faith in doctors. Previous to going to RMA, I had a series of bad experiences with doctors who didnt listen to anything I said, treated me like a number and told me that my fertility problems were because I was fat. This led to me avoiding doctors for 8 years (during which we were trying to conceive with no luck) until my husband convinced me that we needed help and I agreed to give RMA a try. I am beyond glad we did. Every one of the staff working there has been absolutely amazing, compassionate, caring and knowledgeable. They truly do everything they can to make sure that you have the healthiest start to pregnancy that you can. Dr. P performed all of the ultrasounds and procedures himself and made sure that we understood what was going on every step of the way and that I knew what to expect before he performed each step of the IVF procedures. Everyone there always made sure I was as comfortable as I could be and they were always available for any questions we might have. It was the best experience I have ever had going to a doctor, which makes it all the more amazing considering that fertility treatments are stressful and emotional. I was discharged two weeks ago after a successful first cycle of IVF and am now 10 weeks pregnant with our first baby girl. I highly recommend them to anyone who is struggling with fertility. Thank you everyone at RMA of Florida!!
Hands down RMA Florida may be the most professional group my wife and I have come across. They have a level of service beyond anything we could have imagined from start to finish. RMA was our second stop on our fertility journey only because we didn’t want to wait. My biggest regret is we went somewhere else first, so don’t be discouraged by the waitlist, they are worth the wait. Currently in our second trimester patiently waiting for our rainbow baby.
Everyone at the office was so welcoming and helpful any time I needed anything. They made the process as seamless as possible. Each step was explained individually so we didn’t feel overwhelmed all at once. I would recommend Dr. P and his staff over and over again!
We are forever thankful to Dr. Patounakis and his team at RMA. We were unsure if having children was in the cards for us, and we had a rough experience at a different fertility clinic before finding RMA. Dr. Patounakis is meticulous and methodical in his approach. From day one, I felt comfortable and hopeful that he could help us.Fast forward to today, I am 38 weeks pregnant, am currently 2cm dilated, and am having contractions! I know we will be meeting our baby boy very soon. 🤗If you are looking for somewhere that you are not just a number, and every protocol and procedure is customized for your personal journey, look no further! The entire staff and Dr. Patounakis are exceptional.We have another embryo that is currently frozen, and we will be back in the near future to work with them again. 🤗To RMA- From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for giving us hope and the gift of life. 🥰🩵
We love RMA Florida! Dr. P and his incredible team work so diligently and compassionately to help build families. We are blessed that we recently experienced the joy of birth from our IVF baby. We cannot recommend this location enough!
I am beyond grateful for the incredible care and support I received from Dr. Patounakis, my IVF doctor. Words cannot express the depth of appreciation my wife and I have for this remarkable individual. From the moment we stepped into their office, we knew we had found a doctor who genuinely cared about our dreams of growing our family.Dr. Patounakis possesses a rare combination of medical expertise, compassion, and a heartfelt dedication to their patients. Throughout our IVF journey, they guided us with unwavering professionalism, sensitivity, and understanding. Their willingness to listen and empathize made us feel valued and reassured during what could have been an emotionally challenging process.What sets Dr. Patounakis apart is their commitment to personalized care. They took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the IVF procedure, ensuring we understood the complexities involved. They never rushed us, always making sure we felt comfortable and had all our questions answered. Their attention to detail and willingness to address any concerns gave us the confidence to move forward with the treatment.Beyond their exceptional medical skills, Dr. Patounakis & Roma Benfanti brought a sense of optimism and positivity to our journey. They shared in our excitement during the moments of hope and celebrated our successes as if they were their own. Even during the moments of disappointment, they offered unwavering support and encouragement, reminding us that our dreams were still within reach.I must also acknowledge the incredible team that works alongside Dr. Patounakis. From the nurses to the administrative staff, everyone exuded a sense of warmth and compassion. Roma Benfanti made the seamless coordination and efficient communication among the team members made us feel like we were in the best hands possible.If you are searching for an IVF doctor who not only possesses exceptional medical skills but also genuinely cares about your well-being and dreams, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Patounakis. Their expertise, compassion, and unwavering support will make your journey to parenthood that much more manageable and hopeful.Thank you, Dr. Patounakis, for being our guiding light and our advocate. You have forever touched our lives, and we will be eternally grateful.
I cannot recommend RMA Florida highly enough! Dr. P and his staff were beyond excellent in every way. If youre looking for top-notch fertility care, look no further than RMA Florida.
I’ve spent a long time thinking about what I wanted to say about our experience with Dr. Patounakis and his team at RMA. Infertility is one of the most challenging, heartbreaking and emotional experiences a person can go through. I truly believe that finding the right doctor makes all the difference on this journey and I can confidently say that there is no better doctor to have by your side than Dr P.Dr. Patounakis is a wealth of knowledge and makes every effort to ensure that your treatment is what will work best for you, but more than that, he is compassionate. He understands how hard this journey can be and he goes out of his way to support you through it all. He welcomes questions and wants to make sure his patients understand every aspect of what is happening. He genuinely wants to see all his patients have success. He has personally called me after hours to calm my fears when I had concerns. I’ve never had an experience like that before. I wish every doctor in every field of medicine could be like him.I also think it’s important to discuss the whole office. I don’t have one negative thing to say. You are greeted with a smile at every visit. The front desk answers and returns phone calls quickly so that you aren’t left waiting all day for a call back. The office runs like clockwork. I’ve never had to wait longer than MAYBE 3 minutes to be called back for my appointment. This was very important to me because I was often going to appointments before work and it almost never interfered with my work schedule. Getting any bloodwork done was quick, easy and painless. The nurses are INCREDIBLE. They are all just as kind and compassionate as the doctor. Dr. P personally does all of your ultrasounds and tells you exactly what he sees at that time. This was also very important to me because at my previous clinic I never saw my doctor other than for the initial visit. I also appreciated the excellent communication skills. There is a lot of waiting when going through fertility treatment and even something as simple as the doctor saying that he won’t call you until a specific time of day made me feel less anxiety. I didn’t spend the whole day wondering if it was the clinic every time my phone would ring. The facilities for egg retrievals, transfers and any other procedures are pristine. You simply can’t ask for anything better.I had 5 miscarriages before starting treatment at RMA and now we are 13 weeks pregnant with our rainbow baby boy who is due in June! Dr. Patounakis has been life changing for us and I will never stop recommending him to anyone going through the struggles of infertility.
I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Dr. Patounakis and his team for the outstanding care they provided during my fertility treatments. From the very beginning, they were warm, compassionate, and always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. Going through fertility treatments can be a stressful and emotional experience, but Dr. Patounakis and his team made it as easy and painless as possible.His attention to detail, expertise, and personalized approach made me feel confident that I was in good hands. They went above and beyond to make sure that I received the best possible care and support. I am happy to say that thanks to Dr. Patounakis’s guidance and care, I have now graduated from fertility treatments.I highly recommend Dr. Patounakis and his team to anyone who is looking for exceptional reproductive endocrinology care. Thank you again for everything
Dr. Patounakis and his team are amazing!!! My husband and I had visited another local clinic and has a terrible experience, leading us to Dr. P and RMA via word of mouth.We were about to start an IVF cycle with RMA but I ended up getting pregnant naturally. Dr. Patounakis was kind enough to monitor my pregnancy though 9 weeks. I was so thankful to have his knowledgeable staff and his care and input during these first few weeks, as I had suffered prior losses. I can’t thank them enough for taking such great care of me during these nerve wracking weeks. We now have a happy, healthy baby boy, born on Christmas Day 2022. Thank you Dr. Patounakis and team!!
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Patounakis and the team at RMA Florida. Their communication was always top-notch and we never waited more than 5 minutes for an appointment. Dr. Patounakis is very good at what he does and he is also great at explaining your options and your treatment plan. We are very grateful to be entering the second trimester from our first round of IVF at RMA. After having a very negative experience at another fertility clinic, RMA was a complete breath of fresh air. I can’t recommend them enough!
My experience at RMA Lake Mary with Dr. Patounakis was WONDERFUL to say the least. Dr. Patounakis and his staff were very professional and more importantly kind to us during the whole process of IVF. When I was discharged from the clinic after a successful transfer I was honestly sad that I had to go to my regular OB just because the way they treat you and the relationship you build with everyone taking care of you during this very stressful process it’s just a bittersweet feeling. I will do it all over again if I could. This clinic is THE BEST clinic out there. I will be bringing my baby girl for a visit and I can’t wait to see Dr. Patounakis and thank him once again for making my dream of being a mom a reality. So thankful for him and his team!! Love them!
My experience at RMA has seriously been the best of my life. Everyone at the office is so compassionate and you really feel like your care is their number one priority. Dr. P always went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and aware every step of the way. He is so knowledgeable about fertility and the hormones that our bodies need. If youre looking for a doctors office you can trust, this is the place!!! Ill be forever thankful.
From the initial consultation up until I was discharged, I felt 100% supported and confident in the entire staff at RMA. During my consultation, Dr. Patounakis told me that he had full confidence that I would conceive while under his care. Every step of the way, although physically and emotionally difficult, I felt like I was completely taken care of. This made the whole process much easier, as it kept my hopes up. To the smiling faces you see when you enter the clinic, the nurses you see everyday during monitoring, the staff that facilitates procedures in the surgery center, and especially Dr. P, I sincerely thank you for making this journey a painless and successful one. In such a scary and unknown time, I couldnt imagine trusting anyone else to guide me. I owe so much to you all, and will always appreciate your dedication to making miracles happen.
My husband and I are still active patients with RMA, but there’s no need to wait and review this clinic. Regardless of the outcome and whether or not we are able to grow our family I would recommend RMA and Dr. Patounakis to anyone who asks. Anyone experiencing infertility can tell you how the mental and emotional toll meets or in some cases exceeds the physical hurdles you experience. Having a healthcare team who meets you where you are and shows their compassion even in the small ways means everything. From the front desk to the surgical suite it has been nothing but a five star service. Dr. Patounakis does all the exams himself. Every ultrasound and treatment I’ve received has been performed by him. When the hard phone calls are made when a cycle fails it’s his voice on the other end of the call. He’s thoughtful and committed. The nurses are upbeat and kind. The staff are friendly and helpful. It makes traveling this path so much easier. Choosing this clinic was the best decision we’ve made.
I wanted to write this review for a very long time. We started going to Dr. P and his team back in Feb of this year. For years we went to many different fertility clinics around central Florida and we were about to give up with years of treatments and no progress. We chose to do IVF with RMA when they were recommended by people on Reddit (of all places). We schedule a consult with Dr. P and when we went to the first meeting, Dr. P was able to understand our frustrations and put together a plan for our situation. We were ALWAYS greeted with respect and dignity and me as the husband was ALWAYS let inside the appointments with my wife. Currently my wife is pregnant and we are over the moon. The care and compassion that Dr. P and his team has is Phenomenal. Dr. P is so compassionate and graceful with his role as a Dr. He understands his craft very well and it shows. One of the most impressive parts of Dr. P and his team is they all have hearts of a teacher. They explain EVERYTHING of how it works and what to expect. He runs a tight ship and it shows. Words cannot describe our gratitude towards RMA Lake Mary and their staff.When you spend that much money on anything, the last thing you want to do is live with regret if it doesnt work out and I can 100% say that we have ZERO regrets. If youre on the fence and dont know who to choose please use them. You WONT regret it.
Dr. Patounakis, Ann Marie and the entire staff of RMA are absolutely phenomenal!! If you are looking for exceptional fertility care look no further.From start to finish my wife and I knew we were receiving the very best care possible. Everyone is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and personable.We really appreciated the dedication and attention to detail to ensure we had the very best chance at conceiving. We both felt very comfortable with Dr. P and trusted his medical expertise fully. We were also very impressed at how hands on he is with all tests and procedures. We were always taken back for our appointments on time if not early.We graduated from RMA today and it was a bitter sweet farewell. If we had our way we would stay with RMA throughout our entire pregnancy. We know we have been spoiled because everyone at RMA is amazing and we will miss them.Dr. Patounakis is by far the best medical doctor I have ever personally had. I cannot thank him and the entire staff enough for their guidance, kindness and over all awesomeness.Thank you all truly from the bottom of my heart.
Dr. P is simply the best. Mindful, researched, caring, available, vigilant and realistic. The facility is top-notch and their process made every step surprisingly comfortable in what could have been a very uncomfortable or painful experience. I wouldn’t risk putting my future and my health in anyone else’s hands. Thank you for helping us on our journey!
Dr. P and his staff are amazing. I can not express how grateful we are, he is extremely knowledgeable and gives it to you straight. His staff is professional and communicative. I would highly recommend them. We put our trust in them and it paid off. 5 stars all day everyday.
Very excited to be starting our journey with RMA, they are responsive, detailed and friendly and I could not be happier we switched IVF clinics to RMA!
I don’t see how anyone could rate Dr.P and his team any less than 5 stars! Dr. P eats, sleeps and breathes his work. I swear he lives at RMA! He is so devoted to his work, truly cares and will have an answer to every question. After 19 months of infertility Dr. P helped us get pregnant and we will be forever thankful to him and his team! Comparing with other friends who chose different fertility clinics, I would never choose anyone else besides Dr. Patounakis!
We were hesitant at first about seeing a fertility dr but after three years of not being able to conceive we decided to make an appointment with Dr. P.After our initial consultation we felt confident and comfortable in his care to start this journey with him. He took time to go over our options and was so patient and understanding which is sometimes difficult to find in doctors these days. He really made you feel like you were in good hands and his number one priority was you and your journey to becoming pregnant. After only a few months into our treatment we were able to conceive!!! The first few months of becoming pregnant can be so scary and feeling confident that we were under the doctor’s care made the early weeks of pregnancy so much more comforting. We will be forever grateful for meeting Dr. P and all he did to help our dreams of becoming parents come true.Sincere Thanks, Kris & Lauren
There are so many positive things to say about Dr. P and the amazing staff at RMA Florida; my husband and I felt supported and informed throughout our entire fertility treatment journey. Dr. P was incredibly patient, kind, knowledgeable, and understanding. I never felt bullied into making any choices (as had been the case with another fertility specialist in the past), but rather I felt informed about my options and empowered to do what was best for our situation. Fertility treatment can be a stressful and daunting process, its so important to have a doctor and team you can really trust. I would highly recommend RMA Florida to anyone seeking support with fertility. If I could have given this practice more than 5 stars, I would have!
We ended up being pregnant after our 1st visit but I wanted to take the time out to show appreciation for the ease at which we were able to have our 1st visit. The visit was top tier and communicating with the office was very easy though the app.
Its hard to figure out where to even start. I can talk for hours about the entire RMA staff especially Dr. P. He runs a tight ship and if you know his staff, you can tell from the moment you walk in. I have never felt so much comfort in a clinic. From day 1, Dr. P gave me the confidence to pick myself up from being run down by another fertility clinic. No matter the hard steps in this journey, Dr. P was constantly reassuring to my husband and I. I felt broken coming from CRM and the moment i stepped foot into RMA, I felt like I could take anything on.Each and every worry or question ive ever had, the nurses have always responded to me in a timely manner and without letting me feel like I was any annoyance. From the beginning Dr. P told me to never focus on the numbers because the goal was 1 baby. That stuck with me because it put my anxiety to ease. I am now pregnant with my double rainbow baby and its insane to be writing this as ive been on this journey for 11 yrs and I really thought it was never going to happen again for us. He took his time with us and made sure to take every precaution necessary. I have been diagnosed with endometriosis and I have a blocked tube and one tangled tube, and CRM kept putting me through IUIs knowing it was never going to work. I will always appreciate Dr. Ps calm demeanor and straight to point mentality. I suffer from PTSD and anxiety and ive always felt so at ease thanks to his way of being with his patients. I can go on and on about RMA and Dr.P and Im coming up on my last appointment with them and it literally brought me to tears at the thought of leaving RMA. I will forever be extremely grateful for the entire RMA facility and the attention to detail they put into every patient. trust me, you will never feel like just a number. Ive always felt like an actual human being here and I will recommend them forever.
Where do we begin.. There is not enough words of gratitude we have for Dr. Patounakis. This was our 3rd IVF clinic and right away we felt like we were at the right place. Dr. Patounakis care is unmatched. Him and his team are the DREAM TEAM. Obviously we all understand that this process is not 100 percent in our control but everything that was in RMAs hands was taken care of flawlessly. From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU-Gustavo and Tziratzenyt Pineda
Doctor P. Is amazing. He explained everything step by step. He made me feel very safe and comfortable. The first time I saw Doctor P. And his wonderful staff was on October 2019. We finally started treatment on January 2020 3 months after. We then did everything and did my first transfer on March. Unfortunately it was a fail. But I did not feel sad , scare or worried because doctor P. Was very reassuring and do some more extra test on me. Due to covid 19 we did our second transfer in July and I’m happy to say I’m 10 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I truly recommend this doctor he is the best. It was very bitter sweet when I was release to my OBGYN because you feel part of a family. I will miss them so much. They comunícate extremely well and very fast when you have questions. This is the place to have your family.
Receptionists: 10/10 on their A game. Most of them even recognized me and knew me by face at every appointment so I didnt even have to tell them my name usually when checking in. The medical assistants Jewell and Julianna who took my blood every visit were amazing and so kind and great at finding my veins. Nurses are very good at getting back to you when you leave a voicemail for them. I had my first consult appt for IVF toward the end of August and today was my last appt with them as I am now past 8 weeks pregnant and move on to prenatal care with an OB.Dr. P is pleasant enough, the ultrasound appts are very quick and thats when hes the most in his business as usual mode it seems and its a little harder to pull some personality from him haha. I found him more engaging for the more noteworthy appts like the egg retrieval procedure, when calling about our embryo results, and transfer. Hes very good at his job and thats what mattered the most to me in the end. I had a scare on Christmas day and he called me back and talked me through my worries and was very reassuring and supportive. The grounds and building are beautiful and a relaxing atmosphere, theres a nice lake and water fountain outside with benches and shade from trees. I did have a slight issue with a nurse who hurt my feelings a bit and didnt seem entirely receptive of my feedback on the matter, claiming they have their policies not to congratulate positive beta hCG results post transfer because they can still end in loss. However my last phone call with my other main nurse today had her expressing happiness for me, which was nice and appreciated. Wait time in the waiting room before appts was always very brief. Overall a good experience here for my infertility treatment and I plan on returning to them if we decide to do another embryo transfer in the future. I wish I could rate 4.5 out of 5 instead of 4/5 but Ill content myself with just this very thoroughly written review lol.
My wife and I began treatment at the Lake Mary office with Dr. P and his amazing nurse, Ann Marie, back in February 2018. From the very beginning the staff was phenomenal. The whole staff made you feel so comfortable at each and every appointment. If you ever had a question or needed anything they were always available. Professionalism and bedside manner was remarkable. The entire office was outstanding if I could give them 100 stars on here I would!We have officially graduated from their office and I’m happy but at the same time kind of sad because I will truly miss the amazing staff.I’m so happy and grateful with the amazing experience at RMA of Florida. We are pregnant now and couldn’t be more excited!We definitely recommend this amazing office!
As we run around preparing for the birth of our first child, we cant thank Dr. Patounakis and the entire staff at RMA for their part in this incredible experience. We had tried one other fertility specialist in Orlando and left after our first IUI feeling like another number with no voice and no control over what was supposed to be an exciting new chapter. When that IUI did not end in a pregnancy we looked for a new doctor in hopes of regaining control. We found RMA and will never look any further!! Dr. Patounakis took such time to explain everything with us and then allowed us to tailor our journey/medical plan to our own preferences and comfort level. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and genuinely cares for each patient. Every office visit we felt welcomed. The staff was always very friendly and on time. The practice had incredibly career friendly hours allowing us to have our appointments even before our own workday started. This is a 5 star staff and we WILL be back!!
First off this man is amazing! Ive never met such a professional, reliable, and honest doctor. I felt extremely comfortable with him at all times. I trusted his judgment throughout the whole process which I can say I dont usually do with doctors. Dr. Patounakis runs a very tight ship with his patients and staff in which I am extremely grateful for. We never had to call him and wonder what our results were or what the next steps were. He was on top of everything and never made me question anything he did. This process was super smooth with all his help. Im forever grateful we are now almost 14 weekswith our baby boy. Thank you so much!
RMA Lake Mary took wonderful care of me, and guided me through the process of IUI and then IVF. Dr. P was always helpful with explaining the odds and presenting all of our options to us. Dr. P, the nurses, the receptionists - I can’t thank them enough for everything. The amount of care and detail they put in to every patient is amazing. I didn’t feel like just a number, I always was answered in a timely manner, appointments always on time - exactly what I needed when looking for this sort of care. I cannot recommend them enough, and will be forever thankful for all that they did for me and my husband!
We had a successful IVF treatment at RMA Florida. As far as doctors offices go, this was the best experience Ive ever had. Dr. Patounakis and his nursing staff were always on schedule, I dont think we ever waited more than 5 minutes for each visit. He must work about 80 hours a week because Dr Patounakis is always there, even on weekends! His nursing staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. As far as the IVF treatment, it worked the very first time. I appreciate that Dr Patounakis requires genetic tests and other safeguards to ensure a healthy embryo. In summary, you will not be disappointed if you go with RMA Florida. I highly recommend their services.
Dr. P and the staff are AMAZING! Very professional, honest, and caring throughout our journey. I always felt (and still feel) well cared for when we go in. I always say that I got spoiled with Dr. P and the attention he gives his patients, that I expect at other physicians offices. Thank you RMA for allowing us to become parents to our miracle baby ❤️
I did IVF 4 times with another Doctor. My first retrieval and transfer with Dr. P resulted in a pregnancy. Dr. P is great along with his attentive staff ! I would highly recommend their service.
I can not say enough positive things about RMA. The WHOLE office, not just the Dr. although Dr Patounakis is absolutely amazing. I have never received such great care as I do with him and this office. He takes his time to explain the process, he answers all of my questions and he compassionate and vested in this process with me. I think its also important to note that his office staff are also GREAT! They always return phone calls and emails in a timely manner, they are so helpful and kind. IVF is ALOT. and having such a supportive Dr and office takes so much stress away.
If you’re needing fertility support, run, don’t walk, to RMA Florida. Our baby is now 4 months old, but this letter we wrote the team on graduation day encapsulates how amazing they are:Where do I even begin in thanking you? We have never felt so supported by a medical team in our whole lives. Before seeking your help, we were dismissed everywhere we went because my young age seemed to mean there couldn’t possibly be a problem. 2 1/2 years into this journey I’m grateful we advocated for ourselves and found you.From day one we felt seen, heard, and understood. I’ll never forget the moment when my third IUI was canceled and Dr. P let me take off my mask and just cry in that room. The empathy we’ve been shown is something we will never forget.To my front office friends - thanks for letting me perform aerobics in the waiting room and listen to my complaining about I4 traffic. It’s true the hour drive was long, but I’d drive two hours if it meant getting care like what I’ve received at RMA.To my amazing phlebotomists - you did an incredible job with my finicky veins. I always felt safe with you. I wish I could take you everywhere I go for bloodwork.To my amazing nurses who answered my one million questions - thank you for never making me feel stupid or silly. We were always impressed by your kindness, knowledge, and promptness.To the andrologists - thank you for making my husband feel comfortable with an uncomfortable situation.To the embryologists - thank you for keeping our embryos safe and for performing a flawless transfer.To my retrieval team - I told you the day of my retrieval that it took some serious therapy to get me there. I was not joking. I was deathly afraid of being put under and had been doing EDMR therapy for weeks leading up to that moment. You took my concerns seriously and put me at ease with your light-hearted banter and letting me sing it out before and after the surgery.And to Dr. P - there’s nothing we can say that adequately expresses our gratitude. There were days that it felt like our time would never come, but you were always our hope holder. From conducting every ultrasound to learning about us as patients (like knowing I have bad veins and prepping me for retrieval with the water at 5am tip - it amazes me how much you remember when I know you have so many patients!) we always felt safe in your care.While graduation day is a moment we’ve looked forward to for a year now, it’s bittersweet. We recognize that no matter how amazing my OB is, it’s unlikely that we will get the same level of care, attention, expertise, and just down-right amazingness from them. This is truly a testament to your team. I hope you do know that what you do here is make miracles. Not just because you help people get pregnant. But also because you make people who are walking through some of the darkest moments of their lives feel valid, seen, heard, and cared for. When I deliver this miracle baby in September, I know we will both look upon them and fondly think of the incredible team who made it possible.Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts,The Lynch FamilyPayton, Jon, and baby
Dr. P is maybe one of the best doctor I’ve ever met. When my husband and I sought advice and treatment in July 2018, we found a team of incredibly knowledgeable, communicative and sensitive staff who thoroughly explained and advised the best treatment that made the most sense for my situation. Yes, like the other posts, initially they did recommend quite a few tests, but it was in our best interest to fully understand the situation and get the best outcome sooner rather than later. We were fortunate with a preferred outcome but blessed with a doctor and team that was invested in making the entire difficult process as easy as possible.
This place is hands down the BEST fertility clinic you can go to. Starting with the front desk representative all the way to the doctor. Theyre just amazing. My wife and I decided to come here after having a terrible experience in another clinic. From the first visit we knew we did the right thing. Dr. Patounakis and his staff Ann Marie, Shana, Jennifer go above and beyond to make you feel safe and optimistic. They wont over charge you. They will answer your calls and emails in a reasonable period of time. The genetic consultation they recommend is optional but you should do it. We are beyond happy with the treatment were receiving and if youre looking for a great fertility clinic this is definitely the right place!
My husband and I are Dr. P and Anne Maries biggest fans! We can not say enough wonderful things about him and his staff. When we first visited his office we were both nervous, exhausted, and discouraged. But, by the end of our first consultation we knew we were exactly where we needed to be. He took the time to explain in detail all of our options and helped us formulate a plan that we felt comfortable with. Dr. P personally performed all the ultrasounds, the retrieval, the transfer, everything! I know we were not his only patients, but he treated us like we were. He and Ann Marie answered any questions we had no matter how crazy they were and how often we asked them. We highly recommend Dr. P and could not be more thankful that we found him. He truly cares about his patients and we consider him and his staff family!
Dr. Patounakis and the entire RMA staff were a joy to work with. Going through fertility is hard but the whole staff were very accommodating and understanding of the emotional roller coaster you were on. After a few IUIs attempt we tried IVF and happy to report it was a success. We welcomed our amazing baby girl into the world last month. Thank you RMA Florida if you are reading this, you made us the happiest parents.
My fiancé and I started going to this clinic a few months ago. I absolutely love this place! Never thought I would need fertility assistance but if you do, this is the only place to go! The nurses, receptionist and Dr. P are all absolutely wonderful and sweet.I’ve had all my procedures, preliminary test done here and everything has been easy and painless. My saline sonogram and HSG was performed gently with no painful experience. We are excited and happy to know we’re in such good hands. Can’t wait to start the next part of our journey! 💚💚💚
The best thing I did was get a second opinion with Dr P. I was referred to him by a girlfriend of mine that spoke very highly of him and his staff and she was right! They are such an incredible team. I had many bumps in the road during my treatment but because of Dr P I never lost hope. Him and is staff genuinely care and it showed. If I needed anything or was worried he was there for me day and night to answer any questions. They are truly the the best!
I highly recommend Dr. Patounakis and his team at RMA of Florida. From the beginning of our journey he was also professional, honest and compassionate. His team is extremely professional and the communication was excellent every step of the way. We were never left to wonder what was our next step would be or left with unanswered questions. I consider RMA of Florida the go-to IVF clinic in Central Florida, wouldn’t trust anyone else when we try to expand our family once again.
I simply cannot say enough great things about Dr. Patounakis and his staff at RMA Lake Mary. Ive never met a more hands on doctor. He did every one of my ultrasounds as well as a good portion of my blood draws. The entire IVF process can be very overwhelming but between Dr. Patounakis and his nurse, Ann Marie, I never felt unsure or in the dark at any point along the way. A rare thing to find nowadays, but correspondence between Dr. P and/or Ann Marie was always a breeze with their quick response time.With his warm & caring disposition, I truly felt he was whole-heartedly invested in our case. If you are unsure of where to start, setup a consultation and you will not be disappointed!
I was actually first referred to Dr. Patounakis by a fertility patient of mine- I had been looking for an excellent reproductive endocrinologist to refer my patients to for years and hadnt found anyone I felt confident in up until this point. As soon as I walked into RMA and met Dr. Patounakis and his staff, I felt at home, and I knew right away that it was different. I was so impressed by his dedication to each patient and the time he took to listen and understand my health history- because of this, I just wanted to take a moment to write this review and acknowledge this team! Thank you so much for everything you have done for me and my patients that also love you! You guys are amazing. Keep up the great work!
The ladies are always nice and Dr.P could have better bedside manner. I got pregnant after a polypectomy and I was excited but the doctor lacked warmth. Unfortunately I miscarried at 6 weeks. Got pregnant again and the Dr. wont see me. I don’t really agree with it but I guess it is there policy. I will say if you are African American please advocate for yourself. There a definitely disparities in black women maternal and infant care. After my experience today I definitely felt that. The Dr. Wouldn’t even bother to call and speak to me. Smh
Exceptional care!!!!! First off, my husband and I have been struggling for nearly 4 years with severe infertility. Feel free to message me privately if you’d like more detailed info! We’ve been through it all!! :) I’m more than happy to share my experience in the hopes it helps another going through this. Briefly: I went through 1 IUI with a well known clinic in Orlando (big, BIG waste of time and money) After that fail, we were referred by a friend to another fertility clinic in the Orlando area, which instantly said, we needed to do IVF due to our type of case. The doctor and staff were very nice, but my husband and I felt they were very disorganized. We completed 2 full IVF attemps, which failed. As heart broken as we were, and feeling like giving up, my husband’s urologist suggested we have a consult with RMA-FL who statistically has proven success rates across the country. Amen to that! So, our first consult with Dr. Patounakis was extremely detailed (exactly what I wanted!) He was so thorough with how their IVF treatment plan works. I know some of you are unsure about genetic testing prior to starting IVF, but you must understand the importance of this vital testing. It won’t take up to much time, and it’s extremely helpful in conceiving a healthy baby. Just let RMA-FL do their job. They are part of a much bigger company with a track record of successful pregnancies. My husband and I clicked with Dr. Patounakis right away. He is very empathetic, will answer all your questions big or small with a warm hearted approach. This whole process can bring on loads of anxiety and sadness. If I ever had anxious feelings, they were so fast to call me back or send an email. I wasn’t ever left worried or questioning things. YOU WANT A CLINIC THAT CARES? THIS IS THE PLACE. His staff are so friendly as well, and all very educated about each step of my infertility treatment plan. They also have an expert embryologist on staff (which I’ve learned through this journey is one of the most important parts). We were SO impressed with their lab as well. Unreal nice with all advanced equipment (exactly what’s missing in so many other clinics in this town). We are farther along in this process than we’ve ever been now, and so beyond thankful for this doctor and for this clinic. THE BEST. If I could give 5,000 stars, I would. - Jessica and Scott
Dr P and his staff have always gone above and beyond! He’s the only Dr there and does 100% of the care he walked me through everything. He constantly checked up on me personally no matter the day even on weekends. I am so grateful to have found him. If it wasn’t for him I would have lost complete faith in Dr’s. He’s truly a blessing and he’s given my husband and I our first ever pregnancy after many struggles. He’s truly the best!
If you have stumbled upon this review of the RMA Lake Mary office and Dr. Patounakis, you are likely looking for an alternative way to start your family. This can be a devastating and overwhelming thing to even begin thinking about. I hope that my review of Dr. P and his team can take some of your stress away in knowing that—no need to keep on with your Google search, this team is the team for you.Why go with Dr. P and RMA Lake Mary? (In no particular order)1. The facility itself is beautiful, clean, and truly state of the art. Just about everything you could need can be done right there in the office (I did have to have surgery, and this was done at the hospital). There is also a pretty great coffee/ hot cocoa machine. When you’re at the doctor so often it’s the little things that count too.2. As someone who has been to the doctor SO MANY TIMES, let me tell you.. this team is unbelievable. From the smiling eyes (I’m sure there’s a smile under that face mask) that greet you when you walk into the office, the girls that draw blood, Sasha, Victoria, and AnnMarie, and of course Dr. P, they are truly the Avengers of the IVF world. I NEVER once had to hunt them down for information, or confirmation of anything. They are so very organized and beyond communicative. They made a very stressful situation something my husband and I felt we could handle. We never doubted that we were in good hands.3. You are monitored extremely closely. Dr. P does all of your monitoring exams, egg retrieval, transfer, HSG, saline sonogram. The man even draws blood sometimes! He works long hours and doesn’t miss a beat. He genuinely cares for his patients and their success.4. I hope I phrase this correctly. If you’ve gotten to the place where you’re seeking help from a fertility clinic, you likely have already spent a great deal of time tracking ovulation, periods, body temperature, other doctor appointments, etc. If you’re anything like me, there is a control factor that comes into play, and not having control over what your body is doing (or not doing) despite your best efforts is very difficult. With Dr. P, I felt I was able to give up control and it was such a relief. He did the doctor end of things, and I did as I was told in regards to taking medications etc. I was never given too much information that I could then take to the internet and play the comparison game with unless I asked. I always felt confident that if I just did what I was asked, Dr. P and the squad would worry about the rest.5. The entire RMA team is truly so patient and encouraging. I have a history of Crohn’s disease, and with that comes a lot of anxiety about being poked and prodded. Anxiety actually doesn’t feel like a big enough word to describe the fear I felt going into this. The entire team made me feel capable, they did not minimize or dismiss my fears and did a great job of letting me know what I should expect within every part of my journey. I may not have enjoyed blood draws, injections, exams, etc. but I always felt comfortable and safe.I type this as I am officially 14 weeks pregnant with our little girl. I’m not sure that I’ll believe this is a real until she is in my arms, but I DO know that I wouldn’t change working with RMA. IVF is expensive. It takes a toll on your physical and mental state. There are so many scary stories out there of what can go wrong if not monitored appropriately. If you’re going to do this, you should be with the very best of the best. You deserve to have this tough thing you must go through be with a team who can make it a positive experience and one you are proud of for getting through.Dr. P and everyone at RMA Lake Mary is truly the example of what medical care should look like. Wishing you the best of luck on your journey.
I had a great experience with this amazing team. God sent me there for a reason. The staff and Dr. P exceeded my expectations. They were caring, friendly, compassionate very professional. They made the process easy. I wish they were more than 5 stars they deserve more. I highly recommend them to any couple out there who are dealing with infertility. Now I can say after 4 years of dealing with infertility, we are expecting our little miracle. All thanks to God and the RMA teams.
Dr. Patounakis, the nurses, and everyone at this RMA are so great and kind and personable yet super professional. I just did a retrieval here. I was nervous but it went so smooth and they made sure I was comfortable the whole time. I couldn’t be happier with them.Update: after one transfer, I got a big baby and he is going on 10 months!
I dont know where to begin with this review. Dr. P is the most caring, patient, and understanding doctor I have ever encountered. During my process, there was a time that I needed to take a mental break. I had naturally gotten pregnant and miscarried, and eventually, just needed to grieve on my own. Dr. P would check in on me, no ulterior motives, not trying to make a buck, just would text me to make sure my mental health was okay.He answered all of my ridiculous questions, he made sure I knew what was happening, when it was happening, and why it was happening. I know many individuals going through the same process, and I wish they could all see Dr. P for their needs. I am happy to say, I am now 4 months pregnant, and he promised me I would be a mother this year. He kept his promise, and for that, I will be eternally grateful.Now, as many others have said, his staff, is just as amazing as he is. By the time you are released back to your Ob, you feel like you are saying goodbye to your family.I cannot promise your journey will be easy, but I can promise you, there are no better hands to be in than Dr. P and his team.
Been trying to have a baby for years and was not able to. Dr. P has not only been amazing but does everything himself. From the first appointment I knew I was at the right doctor. I was able to conceive after two cycles and now I’m 7 weeks along. The nurses are amazing as well, everyone is always willing to answer questions. Dr P, caught things early in my pregnancy that could have caused a potential miscarriage. I can’t recommend him enough.
Dr. Patounakis, Ann Marie and Jennifer are awesome! We are so grateful we started our IVF journey with RMA of Florida! They have made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process! Thank you RMA- FL for all the support and compassion you have shown my husband and I throughout this process! We can’t wait to get pregnant and for you all to meet our little boy. :)
This doctor’s office has restored my faith in doctor’s offices. This is NOT the type of practice where you will wait an hour to be seen, never get a call back, or feel discouraged/hopeless not knowing what your options are. Dr. P and his staff are as professional and thorough as they are personal and understanding in what can be a very physically and mentally draining process. I can’t say enough positive things about the people here, the flexible hours he has available (which still allowed me to do my job), and the obvious fact that Dr. P truly cares about his patients and ultimately getting them results. If you’re dealing with the unfortunate reality of infertility issues and are searching for the right doctor, choose this one. You will not be sorry! And most likely in a few months youll be writing a similar review to this one once youve had the same experience!
I am so grateful this clinic came to the Orlando area! My husband and I were with RMA for the better part of 2018. We almost didn’t even go through IVF due to a not so great experience we had years back with another fertility clinic in the area. RMA has a great reputation, though, and from the first time I had a conversation with Dr. Patounakis, I knew I felt comfortable to learn more about giving IVF a go with them. Dr. Patounakis was both personable and positive, yet professional and real. He sincerely wanted the best for us and that showed through all the months of work with him and his staff. This is such a hard thing to go through & I can’t have asked for more support and compassion from the whole team. Ann Marie was our nurse and she was just great, too. She took the time to explain timelines for everything & the medications needed, too. And I have to also give props to Jen, who handles the embryos. She took great care of that whole process.We did end up pregnant with our first round of IVF and our first transfer. And I had a lot going against me- from autoimmune issues to a low AMH to being in my late 30’s. No matter what our outcome would have been, though, I still would have said the exact same things about this staff, though. We also have a second frozen embryo so we’re looking forward to working with this team again in the future and having them meet our daughter that I’m currently pregnant with one day after she’s born.If you’re going to invest in IVF, do yourself a favor and go with a great clinic and staff like RMA Lake Mary!Tammy Miller
I really cant say enough great things about RMA Florida and Dr. Patounakis and his team! From the very first appointment all the way through our IVF journey we felt so at home and like we were exactly where we needed to be! Boy were we right, we had a successful 1st round of IVF and our baby boy is on his way! Dr. Patounakis makes sure to know your story and develop a great connection, you arent just a number here and we are so grateful!
Dr Patounakis was a welcome respite after leaving what felt like a cattle call of a fertility office. Every appointment, office visit, blood draw, he was there. We never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be seen. And, we got pregnant! A+ experience and A+ result! I would highly recommend anyone to RMA who is tired of the offices that treat you like youre just a number.
My wife and I began treatment with Dr. P and his wonderful nurse, Ann Marie, back in December 2017. After having a challenging and disappointing experience at another fertility clinic in the Orlando area, we found RMA of Florida and scheduled an appointment right away. Dr. P and Ann Marie were nothing short of amazing. We felt at home the moment we met them. Their support, professionalism, encouragement, thoroughness, and bedside manner throughout our personal journey to pregnancy was remarkable. Dr. P was always available when we had questions, even during non-office hours. They were always such a joy to be around and we always felt like they were on this journey with us from the moment we met to the moment we “graduated” from their fertility care.We are eternally grateful for our experience at RMA of Florida with Dr. P and his staff. We are just over 15 weeks pregnant with our precious bundle of love and we know that there is no way we could ever find the right words to truly express our gratitude to them. We couldn’t recommend Dr. P, Ann Marie, and the staff at RMA-FL with more excitement.
My wife and I loved RMA, Dr. P, Jennifer, Ann Marie :) They treated us great. There were several test that needed to be done, but I felt comfortable spending my money and knowing everything was fine with myself before inseminated vs figuring out something was wrong after several IUI later. After the test were done, we started the tracking process which they are so great with and so flexible with hours and after 4 months of test, exams etc we were PREGNANT on Dr. P FIRST try! by far the best Fertility DR ever! I recommend and I will be back! Thank you RMA for treating us great and we appreciate everything. Cant wait for you guys to meet the Little Princess :)
The Best Doctor (and office) in the Universe. Like almost everyone that seeks out IVF help- my wife and I have been through the emotional ringer.We had previously been a patient of another IVF group in town and felt they didnt care whether we had success or not.Instantly at RMA- you can see that Dr P and Ann Marie were born to do fertility medicine. They are the most knowledgeable, compassionate and down to earth people ever. Our situation was unique and they custom tailored a plan just for us.One point of advice- listen to and do everything they say! Dont play google doctor or mommy blog expert. We found success and have been recently discharged. If anyone can do it- its Dr. P.
If you are looking for a physician to consult with for infertility, Dr. Patounakis is a must-see. Having tried two other fertility clinics before heading to RMA-FL, it was so refreshing to go to a physician who was involved with EVERY aspect of our care. At other clinics, it was rare to see the physician very often. At RMA, Dr. Patounakis has performed every ultrasound, made just about every phone call to my wife and I when needed, and has made himself available via phone and in person to discuss our care, walk us through clinical decisions, or just be a friend when needed. When going through such a difficult journey with infertility, it is such a welcomed relief to actually look forward to going to your appointments at RMA. The practice has a boutique-type feel to it, rather than a busy factory just pumping patients in and out like so many offices do nowadays. The entire staff is friendly, knowledgable, and there to help make dreams come true. For anyone even considering another physician regarding infertility - please do yourself a favor and head to RMA first.
Everything about my experience with this office was amazing. My husband and I had been dealing with fertility issues for about 5 years and with the help from Dr. P we successfully conceived via IVf. Every step of the way we were given a plethora of information and guidance in a way where we weren’t overwhelmed. The nurses are amazing with making sure all the meds were in order and appointments were scheduled accordingly. The front desk staff has been nothing but pleasant. The whole office was just 100% supportive and always kept our spirits up even during times of sadness and defeat (we had three failed IUIs before we went to ivf). We went into the IUIs hopeful, but also knowing the success rate is lower than ivf. After we decided to go the ivf route my husband and I found out some interesting things about ourselves that we never would have known about had we not done ivf. I’m very grateful Dr. P and his staff for their patience, respect and open communication along the way. I recommend anyone who has fertility issues to go to this office for support and help. I only wish we went sooner than we did!
We came to Dr.P after an unsuccessful IVF round at another popular reproduction office. The entire experience was completely different as Dr. P does everything himself. He is doing all the sonograms, egg retrieval, implantation, and even blood draws at time. At the other place, I only saw my doctor at the consultation. I ended up being on stims much longer during this round but it must have worked as we got two viable embryos after genetic testing! I am currently 8 weeks with embryo #1. The customer service received was also top notch and I truly felt I wasnt just another number. Overall, the cost was about the same so there was no reason not to go here!
Dr. Patounakis and Anne Marie are top notch. I always felt truly blessed to have been given the opportunity to work with this team. They care about you as a person and are passionate at what they do. I had gone to other places for help, but felt instantly cared for and listened to by Dr Patounakis and all of his staff which made the choice very easy to stay with his team. We are very lucky we were successful but the experience getting here was special as well. I highly recommend Dr Patounakis and his team to guide couples on their quest to become parents. Thank you Dr Patounakis and your team for loving what you do, showing so much compassion and support for making these little miracles.
We failed a few times with a different facility in Jax. We heard on the radio about RMA so we met with Dr George. Extremely helpful and knowledgaeble, he made us comfortable to decide right then and there to change. His staff Anna Marie and Jennifer were also wonderful toward us. We did the full IVF and he was hands on for every aspect of the process. We could not expect that any Dr and staff could have performed better than the experience they gave us. At the end of our IVF, we have two embryos. One embryo transfered and he told us that day my wife would be pregnant. He was right! Now we are on the right track as she is Four months pregnant and we would definitely recommend Dr George and his staff to anyone who must go through this difficult process. Thank you Dr George and staff!
After a misunderstanding between me and the receptionist.....i personally got a call from Dr. Patounikas and he assured me that he holds his employees accountable and that he was very sorry for the confusion caused. After a brief phone conversation, my fiancee and i felt alot better about scheduling an appointment with RMA. Boy are we glad we did bc Dr. Patounikas and his staff were very accommodating and took us in on short notice. He was very professional and thorough on our visit. We would definitely recommend coming to this office for your reproductive needs.
Dr. Patounakis has the absolute best bedside manner! He treats you like family. His nurse, Ann Marie, is also a gem! Dr. P was honest, straightforward yet genuinely sincere in explaining my difficult situation to me. I would definitely recommend RMA to anyone, especially those who need to feel the extra care from a doctor.
Look no further!!! Dr. P and his staff are beyond amazing and make you feel as if you are their only patient. We came to their office sad and frustrated and less than a year later I’m 4 months pregnant!! One night I had to take a new shot at 10pm and he messaged me at 10:01 to see how the shot went. What other doctor does that??? I miss him terribly and I can’t wait to go back to him for baby #2!
This is the best clinic, doctor and nurses I’ve ever experienced. Having done consults at other fertility clinics where we were treated like a number and a bank, this practice is the complete opposite — role modeling what excellent patient care looks like.I have never experienced a medical director so involved, personable and freakin smart! He personally checks in with us, and isn’t “too good” to draw our blood or talk to us as human beings.There are true blessings in this world and dr George Patounakis is one of them. I share this review not knowing where we will land in outcomes (we just finalized egg retrieval), yet also knowing any other individual out there who is reading reviews and searching for the right practice, I didn’t want you to pass this blessing by.Thank you Ann Marie and Dr. George for restoring our faith in healthcare and taking the utmost care of us as we look to grow our family!
Dr. P and his staff are truly amazing! I always felt cared for and like I was with a doctor who was looking out for my best interests. Currently almost 17 weeks along with our miracle baby. ☺️
I cannot say enough good things about this doctor and his staff. Not only did they help us get pregnant they were so nice and accommodating. They are extremely clean, and on time and have very flexible hours. I would highly recommend this fertility specialist.
Dr Patounakis and his team is amazing. He is very informative through the whole process and sets proper expectations. He was always on time also for all appointments. The whole team is incredibly kind and efficient. I can’t recommend this office enough.
I can’t say enough about this place! The level of care that you get here is unparalleled. Dr. Patonoukis and staff go above and beyond to provide a personalized care strategy for your fertility journey. My wife and I just welcomed our daughter thanks to them! We are beyond grateful for this amazing clinic!
I will start with a bold statement: Dr. Patounakis is a truly embodiment of the philosophy and practice of Hippocrates. An exceptional scholar in Ivf that has also the very rare in his field, genuine empathy and compassion for his patients. This is the third ivf clinic we visited and we were truly amazed by his scientific acumen, his attention and presence in every step of the way. He is also easily accesible which is another rare characteristic in doctors overall here in US. He was able to identify issues that not other doctors with twice as much years in practice could identify. The embryologist of the clinic is also hand picked by him and knowing the process this was also another catalyst/game changer in having the best gift for Thanksgiving this year. The nursing personnel is also well trained and very kind and helped us feel very comfortable while we were there. We are gratefull for this experience. As happy new parents we recommend whole heartily his practice.
Dr. P and his team prioritize patient care and professionalism. From my initial consultation, I felt cared for and understood clearly all of the steps we would take to get answers to the issues I was experiencing. Because of Dr. P I am expecting my second child this year after trying unsuccessfully for two years.
Great facility, great people just very upsetting that they will not budge on the checklist you get when you have your first appointment. Its so many things and I loved them so I kept going but we arent going to pay for genetic testing when neither of us have family genetic issues, we are both extremely healthy and after some research I discovered that the other 4 fertility centers in the area dont require nearly any of that and you can get started right away all while still getting top medical care. If you want to spend a lot of money before beginning treatment and you feel comfortable I highly recommend this place, but if you are comfortable with your genetic background I think it would be very beneficial to look elsewhere to save yourself a month or so before have to wait upwards of two months to complete everything on the checklist.
I wish I could give RMA more than 5 stars. My husband and I went to another provider before RMA and we were underwhelmed... Not just by lack of results but by the service. With RMA, on the other hand, we were satisfied from day one. Our experience resulted the in a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby, but I was so happy with the care I received at RMA that I would be writing a positive review even if we had not been successful.
Regardless of the outcome Ill have at this clinic, it was refreshing to speak with a doctor who was willing to have an actual conversation and refer to evidence based practice. I know that I wont just be a number with a copy and pasted protocol. The staff have been amazing and easy to contact as well!
Dr.George Patounakis is clear and transparent in what he is doing. He explains clearly what the treatment plan is. He clearly identifies the issue before starting the treatment(no trial and error method).Special mention to all Nurses here in this facility who are more than nurses , but experts.Patients with PCOS should definitely come to him.
Horrible experience. Phlebotomist and techs were always nice but doctor and front desk were rude, cold, and didn’t want to be considerate of my IPs. Will not return to this place ever again
Dr Patounakis and his entire staff are the most compassionate people we have ever encountered at a doctor’s office. If you are looking for a great team who will take care of you and your future family, then we definitely suggest that you make an appointment with Dr Patounakis- you will not regret it.
There arent enough kind words i can use to describe Dr Patounakis and his team. From the minute we first met Dr Patounakis and his staff i knew in my heart i was in the best hands i could be in and if anyone can make my one and only dream come true of becoming a Mother it would be these amazing people. After 12 years of infertility and trying to get pregnant on my own we finally met with Dr P. in June of 2021 and on June 3rd 2022 I had my first embryo transfer and on February 3, 2023 I become a Mommy to my beautiful son all thanks to these incredible people at RMA of Lake Mary. I will forever be grateful for Dr Patounakis and all the staff. I to this day get overwhelmed with emotion and tears in my eyes anytime someone ask me about where i went for my IVF treatment and I praise these people up and down for making my dream come true and how well they treated me through the whole process. God bless Dr. Patounakis all the nurses and staff at RMA.
My wife and I are eternally grateful for the help Dr. P. provided. He has a calming, down to earth demeanor, and was very realistic in setting expectations. He understood our scenario when others couldn’t. I consider us blessed for finding him. Thank you is an understatement!
The doctor is wonderful and made us feel so comfortable. The staff is amazing and answers all of your questions.
If you have an ovarian reserve and want to be pregnant please dont go to him he will not work with your case and will not give you any chance to try any treatment. No hope as he said of that treatment. There is hope in every case dont believe that 🙂
Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. We’ve only just started and I’m already feeling so optimistic. I will give an update when we’re further along in the process.
5 stars isn’t enough for how good Doctor really is. Highly recommend to anyone looking to start a family.
Everyone at this office was wonderful, they are on time with appointments, always available if you have questions and extremely friendly.
They are amazing, Dr. P and his team are very professional and caring. I will always recommend this place.
I have called three times already and the phone was never answered. I left a voice mail but they never called back.
Great people who really care
