MAJOR RED FLAGS. My husband and I had a virtual consultation with Dr. Bishop in September of 2023. 9 months later, we received a bill for $499 for it. I'm not even joking. They had billed my insurance company Aetna for $870, insurance covered a portion of it, and that was our remaining balance. In the virtual consultation, Dr. Bishop just went over all the basic stuff about what tests we'll need to do and what the treatment options could be (IUI or IVF) if we were to go that route. There was nothing unique to me and my husband that was addressed because again, this was a CONSULTATION. So when we received the bill in June of 2024 for a whopping $499 we couldn't believe our eyes. It had to be a mistake. We reached out to the Financial Coordinator to which she responded: "Dr. Bishop noted your virtual consult was an extensive 1 hour one, which entailed reviewing your and your partners previous history, fertility information and rates, testing needed, and general treatment information." Which was a total LIE. My husband & I literally have call & email records to prove that the consultation was no more than 30 minutes MAX. When I pushed back with this information, the Financial Coordinator responded 2 weeks later saying: "Management confirmed that we can bill your insurance for a lesser timed consult. This was billed to your insurance and your insurance now has you responsible for $260.05 as your deductible responsibility for the initial consult." I still feel so cheated that I have to pay $260 for a virtual consultation where the doctor didn't even touch us nor go over any information unique to us, but since it's my deductible, it is what it is. Another thing that's worth noting is, after we got our diagnostics test results back and went over them with Dr. Bishop several months later, she completely downplayed my genetic test results. She basically told me to keep up with my monthly breast self-exams at home and do mammograms starting age 40. Didn't give me any sense of urgency at all. It turns out, in talking to a genetic counselor, I should be getting a mammogram and ultrasound NOW. If I hadn't done further due diligence on this on my own, I would have just taken Dr. Bishop's word for it and not treated it with the level of urgency and care it requires. All in all, the sum of these experiences completely rubbed me the wrong way and I will NEVER go back to Columbia University Fertility Center, nor recommend this place to anyone I care about. The billing practices are questionable, the medical advice is concerning/negligent and I felt overcharged & underserved.

My experience with Columbia University Fertility Center was truly 10/10. I worked with Dr. Lauren Bishop who was kind, knowledgeable, and empathetic while providing extensive information regarding what to expect. While going through the bloodwork and ultrasound process, Shelly was such a fantastic and warm presence. She always greeted me (& everyone!) with a smile, and was extremely kind, gentle and patient while drawing my blood (I am a bit of a wimp). During what can be an emotionally and physically draining process, she was truly a light!
