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.

Horrible 'doctor' who lies to you for money
Absolutely horrible doctor who should have her license removed. The entire appointment was so rushed, they didn't even accurately measure my height or weight. Dr. Brabec herself did my ultrasound then took me back to the meeting room with my wife (same sex couple) where she very coldly stated that I had stage four endometriosis with a large chocolate cyst on my ovary and would likely not conceive on my own. That was it. We wanted to continue to try on our own, and they wouldn't even discuss this with us. It wasn't until my wife mentioned that maybe we can look into IVF that suddenly they had any interest in conversing with us. After giving me this devastating news, Dr. Brabec left the office. Two days later, I went to my gynecologist in tears. He did an ultrasound and did not find any signs of endometriosis or a cyst. He was livid. He opted to do a laparoscopy a week later and said that I do not have endo or any sign of a large cyst ever being there. She lied to my face.

Dr. Brabec and her staff are exceptionally kind and compassionate. I felt as though I was not just "another number" but instead, I was a patient they valued to have in the office. Dr. Brabec was very honest and didn't just tell me what she knew my husband and I would want to hear - instead, her honesty led us to a proper medical decision for us to have not only one but TWO successful pregnancies and deliveries. We cannot thank Dr. Brabec and her staff enough for their exceptional care and thoroughness! We highly recommend the Reproductive Resource Center!

Dr. Brabec knows what she is doing and the nurses at RRC are incredible. I think the nurses make the place and do an excellent job of not treating you like an ordinarily patient, they are personable and they truly care. My nurse made me feel like I was in good hands and Dr Brabec knew exactly what I needed to do to get pregnant. After completing one full cycle of treatments I got pregnant. I highly recommend this place for anyone that has fertility issues and is tired of feeling tossed around.

Dr. Brabec did not educate me or provide any information about me having stage 4 endometriosis. Another doctor, 1.5 years and two failed IUIs later, reviewed the surgical report with me and informed me that I had endometriosis AND provided me education on how it impacts fertility. Though Dr. Brabec did not perform the surgery in which the endo was found (it was a fibroid surgery that she recommended), she should have followed up post-surgery as it was critical to my fertility. She also provided conflicting treatment options (IUI with orals vs IUI with injectables) over the course of a year and contradicted herself, which was disheartening. Her nurse practitioners were wonderful, however, along with the office staff.

My husband & I are at the beginning of our Journey w/ RCC & Dr. Brabec, what a great experience so far. This is our 2nd fertility clinic. When you are going through something as sensitive as infertility, feeling loved by your Doctor is so important. The staff & Dr. Brabec have been supportive, informative, loving & compassionate. Dr. Brabec is straight forward but w/compassion. She doesn’t want to waste anyone’s time or money but genuinely wants to help you achieve your dream of becoming parents

This was my second Infertility specialist and I feel she went backwards and then forwards with us. In the end out of 34 eggs only 1 made it. I feel it could have been more.

In a time in my life that left me feeling I had no control and no clue as to what was going on, the staff at Reproductive Resources and Dr. Brabec made me feel supported and cared for. I felt a sense of relief amongst the stress knowing I was in good hands. I never felt rushed or disregarded. Every question I asked, crazy, menial, or important was answered promptly and with patience. Extreme patience and valuable expertise is what I think of with RRC. I'm so grateful it is where we landed!

We had nothing but a positive experience with RRC. Before our first appointment I was very nervous and was hoping we'd chosen the right place (I had done extensive research on Reproductive Specialists all over Kansas). I am so happy we went with Dr. Brabec. She knows her stuff and I really felt like she did great at tailoring our treatment exactly to our needs. We did IVF and welcomed twins this past summer.

Dr. Brabec genuinely cares about her patients. She was the third reproductive doctor in the area we saw and she far exceeded all the others. The staff is amazing as well. We have nothing but gratitude for Dr. Brabec and her staff helping us fulfill our dream of becoming parents.
