The personal experiences and feelings of our patients can provide the clearest picture of who we are and the approach we take. Here are excerpts from just a few of the cards and letters written to Dr. Roth by his patients.


"Thank you for bringing us the most precious gift we could possibly imagine. This is the best time of our lives - even with the sleep deprivation! Thanks for prenatal care and especially your presence and support during the marathon 2nd stage of my pregnancy."


"Thank you for all your help and patience throughout my pregnancy and during my delivery. Your kind and gentle nature was much appreciated and helped us stay calm."


"Finally, a doctor who is straight forward, compassionate, very knowledgeable, well-connected, and extremely sensitive, and even has a sense of humour at the appropriate times!"


"I came under Dr. Roth's care after trying to conceive over an extended period of time and after experiencing a number of miscarriages Dr. Roth walked me through several different approaches, with the goal of assisting my husband and I to get me pregnant. No matter what the situation Dr. Roth and his staff were extremely patient. The organizational structures in the office helped make potentially overwhelming processes go smoothly and efficiently..."


"Because of my personal pregnancy history I was considered a high-risk patient. Dr. Roth ensured I was well informed about all the steps for a healthy pregnancy and supported us in narrowing down my options for getting pregnant. My husband and I decided to try IUI, and thanks to Dr. Roth's encouragement, attention, and ongoing professional services, I was able to carry my pregnancy to 37-weeks/4 days. Today, my husband and I gratefully have two healthy little boys."


"My husband and I couldn't face our relations and friends who for four years, were always asking us why we didn't have a child. Then we met Dr. Roth, who advised us on how to overcome irregular periods and unbearable pain to be able to have a baby. We followed his advice. He worked hard and showed a great deal of patience with our situation. We are now parents of a beautiful baby girl. We recommend Dr. Roth to our community without hesitation."


"Dr. Roth and his staff took the time to answer all our questions and explain our options. He quickly discovered the cause of our infertility and took an aggressive approach to solve our fertility problems. We are so excited for the arrival of our first baby. Thank you for making our dream come true!"


"Dr. Roth is a very thoughtful and understanding physician. He listens to you and responds as he should. I would recommend him to anyone."


"I thank Dr. Roth from the bottom of my heart for saving my life not once, but twice. He recognized the symptoms of a hormonal problem when I thought I was suffering from depression - a time when I may have been alive physically but didn't feel I was truly living. Then ten years later Dr. Roth diagnosed my cervical cancer and arranged for me to have the best treatment available, while being sensitive to my fertility needs. In both situations he was compassionate, informative, and straightforward - and he helped me understand every step that could be taken. I can't thank him enough."


"Dr. Roth takes such care in explaining treatment and demonstrated genuine concern for my past experience with surgery. I fully realize how busy his schedule must be and it is refreshing to find a doctor who has not lost the ability to connect with his patients."


"Our experience at the fertility clinic has been successful. A wonderful team, continuous follow-up, and a doctor who is close with his patients made our several visits enjoyable. Thanks to Dr. Roth and the entire team for allowing us to make a dream come true!"


"After spending eleven years trying to conceive a child either naturally or through IVF in another province, this was our last attempt for a family. If you've ever gone through this process, you know that anxiety and stress climb to extremely high levels. The grief can be overwhelming waiting from month to month for something to happen. Throughout this ordeal, Dr. Roth managed to lighten the mood with his sense of humour, all the while conducting himself in the utmost professional manner.


"After going through the daily injections, blood tests, ultrasounds, and finally the egg retrieval, we found out we only had one egg. Dr. Roth called me after hours to explain the results and at one point he said, 'all you need is one egg and one sperm.' Obviously not the most optimal situation, but his reassurance helped us get through the weekend. One embryo made it to the next cell stages and was to be implanted the following day. We were overwhelmed and tried to remain cautiously optimistic. I didn't get out of bed for four days and did everything Dr. Roth suggested."


"The day finally came for the blood test. When I heard I was pregnant I cried. We are now well into our fourth month and although the first few weeks were touch and go, I feel blessed everyday. Not only has Dr. Roth and his staff given my husband and I our miracle baby, they have renewed our faith."


"Most fertility procedures take several visits, a variety of physically exhausting tests, and you're on an emotional roller coaster. But I can offer this advice - be patient, open-minded, and remain hopeful as best you can. Recognize the value of the support, knowledge, and expertise of your physician and healthcare team. For me, these people made all the difference in the world."
