Hi,  Just wanted to say a massive thank you to all the staff at the CRGH for giving us our beautiful baby daughter.   She is gorgeous, healthy and is doing really well!   My husband and I can't thank all the staff there enough.   You are all so supportive, friendly and compassionate.   This experience could have been so difficult but the CRGH staff made us feel so at ease and cared for.   Any concerns were always answered honestly and help was always available at any time. If needed, we look forward to coming back for our next baby! Thank you all again, from the bottom of our hearts.  You have made our dream of having a baby come true. (I have attached a couple of pictures).
 
Kindest regards, May 2009 
 
Dear Mr Serhal, 
 
This letter is to express our heartfelt thanks for the treatment that we received at the CRGH during 2008.  Our beautiful, perfect daughter was born in February this year, the result of our first round of IVF.  She is the light of our lives, every day we look at her and know how lucky we are to have her, and how much we owe to the science and the scientists at your clinic who made her birth possible. ...
 
... Of course the reason for our success is very clear to us.  Your staff and clinic regard each patient as an individual, and tailor treatment accordingly, with great precision.  We were surprised at first by the number of tests, investigations and so on, but clearly they did the job.   We could see, all the way along, that CRGH was providing the best possible medical treatment and that was hugely reassuring.  In fact, it was this knowledge that we were getting the very best care that made the IVF treatment itself less stressful than the anticipation of it.
 
It was the professionalism of your staff that made the most challenging situation of our lives as comfortable as it could be.  It is probably impossible to make IVF an easy thing to go through ... but your staff were friendly, professional, clear and honest throughout, and that made all the difference in the world.  We never received anything less than superb care and treatment at ACU. ...
 
... we have no trouble at all in telling people that ours is an IVF child and exactly how the process worked.  And of course we always tell people who are contemplating fertility treatment to head straight to your clinic, so please keep up the good work!

With heartfelt thanks and all good wishes,

Dear Mr Serhal, Mr Ranieri and all the wonderful staff at the CRGH,
 
This is just a quick email to say thank you to you all for everything you did to help give us our son, A. He was born safely.... and - despite the exhaustion! - we can truly say that he is the most special thing ever to have happened to either of us.
 
Do please share this with Dr Saab, Pip and Trudi especially. Dr Saab, thank you for all your meticulous care with all the scans!
 
Mr Ranieri. Thank you for suggesting the treatment for auto immune issues with the IUI. The first time we tried it, it worked. We both very grateful - especially me. At 40, I was worried that time had run out.
 
With very best wishes,

July 2008
 
To All the staff at CRGH,
 
I want to write to thank you for all your support through the dark, difficult days where we thought our lives might remain childless. We are now in the supremely fortunate position of having 2 beautiful children thanks to the CRGH.
 
The staff's support throughout the process was invaluable; at no time did we feel like a 'number' but we were treated as individuals and supported with compassion and importantly, frank assessment by the doctors, nurses, embryologists and admin staff alike.
 
Thank you for changing our lives.

13th December 2007

Dear Mr Serhal and staff at CRGH,

We are delighted to let you know that we recently became the proud parents of beautiful twin girls after a successful IVF (ICSI) cycle in your unit.

We came to CRGH in January 2007 after several failed treatment cycles. After 3 years of trying to conceive, we felt physically, emotionally and financially drained.

We had our initial consultation with Dr Vivienne Hall who was sympathetic to our situation and allowed us to commence treatment straight away. Having come from a very small gynaecological practice, we were initially overwhelmed with the amount of people being treated in the unit, the often lengthy, nerve racking waits in the waiting room and the lack of anonymity.

However, we were pleasantly surprised at the speed, efficiency and warmth of the staff at your unit and very quickly overcame our concerns. The nurses were always friendly and supportive. We felt comfortable to approach them at anytime and as often as we liked. The sonographer was gentle and encouraging and always gave us the time we needed to fully understand what was happening.

We were totally taken aback, however, with the sheer dedication and commitment of the embryologists. We lived for those early morning phone calls updating us on the constantly changing state of our embryos. Every team member that we spoke to was incredibly caring, sensitive and patient. They ensured that we fully understood what was happening and what we were aiming for. We were never given a false sense of hope yet we really felt that the staff were rooting for us and keen for our treatment to be successful.

On the day of the embryo transfer, we were so happy that Mr Serhal was to be carrying out the procedure. You created such a calm and light atmosphere around us with your kind manner and good sense of humour. We found ourselves giggling like school children and actually enjoying rather than disliking the experience!

As is usual in fertility clinics, we discovered that we had conceived very early on and at 6 weeks learned that we were expecting twins. ...  At 32 weeks I was admitted to hospital with pre-eclampsia and at 33 weeks my waters broke!

We are so incredibly grateful to you all for everything you have done for us. You have made our dreams come true. 

With all our best wishes

" I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful experience I have had having IVF treatment at CRGH. The nurses have been exceptional always caring, warm, compassionate, thoughtful and never failed to answer my man y questions. In particular Joy, Pip and Caitlin have been particularly helpful. The entire process could have been nerve wracking and scary but instead I felt extremely held and supported. I am now 9 weeks pregnant with twins through you and your staff's assistance and I hope to share the good news of their healthy births in 7 months' time. On behalf of me and my husband, D, we just wanted to thank you and your staff for making our dreams come true. "

" A note to advise you of the arrival of our healthy and happy baby son after successful first-time treatment at your Unit.

My husband and I would like to thank your staff for helping us to realise a dream and for making us a family.

Nandita, the nurses team: Leigh, Michelle, Nicole, and the embryologist Sarah all provided excellent support to us. In particular, the chap who did my cyst aspiration can only be described as a-m-a-z-i-n-g. He was very patient and so gentle that it made it all bearable. Thanks again for a professional service."


" To everyone in the CRGH

We would like to offer our heart felt thanks for the kindness and understanding, and help that you have all shown us during my treatment.

We are deeply indebted to you for helping us bring our beautiful daughter into the world, which has made a huge difference in our lives. "

" We would like to take this opportunity to send a massive vote of thanks to all the team in your department, not only for the opportunity given to us to become parents but also for all the support that was given to us during the process. During a very difficult time emotionally, it was always reassuring to know that we would be treated with understanding and with moral support and this always went right through your team from reception to the nurses, embryologists and consultants.

Once again thanks enormously for everything we will see how we get on with these two before letting you know if we want to try for any further brothers or sisters."

" We would really like to thank you all for the help and support you have given us over the months. As we have found out IVF can be quite a roller-coaster ride. You have all helped make this much less of a stressful experience than it might have been. Everyone at CRGH has been so friendly and welcoming, and the care and medical attention I received during the build-up to the transfer and during my hyperstimulation was excellent. We truly believe that if it wasn't for your experience, my cycle would have been abandoned, and I would not be in the fortunate position that we are now.

I would also like to express my gratitude to Libby and Leigh who have been extremely patient and have always been at the end of the phone to answer my often neurotic questions. "

" To All the Staff at CRGH


Thank you all so much for your care, attention to detail and professionalism throughout our treatment, it was much appreciated. Thank you! "

" To my Friends at CRGH

Thank you all so very much for your patience, professionalism, encouragement and most of all for caring. You ALL gave us the strength and confidence to continue in spite of many unsuccessful attempts. It has meant so much."

" &..but the sentiment is huge!

I am now 14 weeks pregnant and I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you. The CRGH team have felt like my second family!! I have found you all to be totally committed and supportive to providing me with the best care possible. The staff have always been approachable, positive, professional, kind, highly skilled, and just wonderful which I'm sure adds to your success.

Thank you once again"

" Thank you so much for the marvellous work the team carried out at CRGH resulting in my conception of twins last month. Our family is very happy and we hope to send you a photo of the twins next summer. "
