Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great fertility clinic!
Our journey with New Life was just under a year from start of fertility treatments to IVF success. The staff were very responsive and helpful and Dr. Ripps was very honest and open with the facts on statistics and recommendations for our best outcome. The scheduling piece was a bit tricky because they only do IVF cycles every other month or so, but beyond that, it was an excellent clinic to work with and I'd highly recommend New Leaders in Fertility's Panama City office.

IVF
I saw Dr. Ripps for my initial consultation via Zoom. He informed my husband and me our chances of conceiving based on my medical history. He shared their process and how they monitor for a full month without medications. I ended up doing IVF due to having low AMH and it went smoothly. I'm currently 35w pregnant with twins and couldn't be more thankful to make our dreams a reality.

I started working with Dr. Ripps and his staff in the Summer of 2018. While my husband and I only met with him once and he laid our fertility plan during that one visit; his staff is absolutely amazing. There is not enough compensation in the world for what they do and how they do it. Battling infertility has such a wide range of emotions and going to see a caring provider makes all the difference especially if you get disappointing news. We had gone to another fertility clinic here in Tallahassee and they were good, but just decided to try somewhere else after 3 IUI's and 2 miscarriages. New Life reviewed our prior attempts and reproduction history and made a plan and I'm extremely happy to say with their help the first IUI that we did with them was a success and I gave birth to a bouncing baby boy this past June. Was the fertility plan pricey-maybe, but the joy that we have when we look at him is priceless!!

Saw Dr Ripps in 2016 and was diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Was in my 20s. Did 3 medicated cycles, all failed. Did lap surgery & he told me there was 1 spot of Endo. Told my husband and I that my egg quality was trash because I'm overweight, and my husband just needed to "get me on a treadmill". Exact words. Also gave me no pain meds post surgery. I left Dr Ripps after that and sought a second opinion. Had a 2nd lap & had Endo widespread that he missed. Got pregnant right after.

My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Ripps and his staff. Going through fertility issues is stressful and emotional enough and his staff makes everything else effortless. I could not have felt more supported, cared for, and loved by everyone here. We are beyond grateful to have had such an incredible experience. After two losses, we are over the moon to finally have a successful pregnancy; all because of Dr. Ripps!We HIGHLY recommend New Leaders. Thank you for everything

Dr. Ripps, Dr. Delaney, and the rest of their team were absolutely wonderful to work with! They care so much about their patients and explained every part of the process to us as this was our first fertility experience. They helped us get back on track with my fertility cycle after being on birth control for years, which allowed us to conceive within one cycle! My husband and I would absolutely recommend New LIFE to anyone looking for fertility treatment.

So happy to have found New Life in Tallahassee. Dr Ripps and the entire team were wonderful! (caring, helpful, full of valuable information...) I can't say enough good about this group. The nurse was our constant encouragement with each step. We conceived with our second round of medication and insemination. My husband and I are grateful to be expecting our first baby girl this summer!

I would absolutely refer people to NewLife. I came to the office after over a year of trying and not really knowing what to do next. The office staff and doctors are so kind, caring and made me feel like I was their only patient. After some testing, surgery, and several fertility treatments, we finally decided to try IVF. While it was a very emotional and difficult process, the staff at NewLife was so kind and comforting. They sat and hugged me while I cried and truly made me feel like they care

Dr. Ripps and his associate Dr. Delany, as well as the entire staff at New Life, were all so amazing guiding us through our journey to becoming parents. Everyone was so patient and compassionate, we have nothing but great things to say about them all. At our first few appointments, Dr. Ripps took an hour out of his day to sit down with us and discuss all of our options...how often do you get that kind of personal attention from a doctor! It was wonderful, we felt at ease after talking with him.
