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.

When all else fails
Our path to parenthood is very long and convoluted. We tried everything else including two failed IVF transfers at our home in New Orleans. That's when we found out about CCRM, a state of the art center for IVF. We were extremely fortunate to have found Dr. Kondapalli. She is very thorough, takes her time explaining every single detail. Her clinic works very efficiently and her support staff communicate in a timely manner via phone calls and patient portal. She has excellent procedural skills.

Amazing Experience with Dr. Kondapalli!
We do not have enough words to express our gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Kondapalli. She was extremely thorough in explaining the process and answering any questions we had. We loved Dr. Kondapalli's ability to explain things directly and compassionately. She made this emotional and difficult process much easier and we trusted her fully with our treatment. Dr. Kondapalli made our dreams of a family complete with an IVF baby in 2021 and another IVF baby due in 2023! We have already recommended Dr. Kondapalli and CCRM to friends we know struggling with infertility. Thank you for everything!

Dr. Kondapalli is the best!
Dr. Kondapalli was such a pleasure to work with throughout our time at CCRM. She was amazing at explaining step-by-step what we would experience, gave valuable insight, and even happened to do our transfer (which was successful)! Having a doctor who listens, is genuine, and kind made us feel more at ease through what can be an emotional rollercoaster.

Amazing Dr & Human
Dr Kondapalli is one of the genuine doctors I'm come across. She is compassionate, but also completely up front with the issues that are particular to your body. It's a very tailored plan she puts together for each patient and you're not treated as one of the hundreds of other patients that are going through the same process.

IVF Experience with Dr. K + Team
Dr. K & her team were the absolute best! My husband & I were championed since the start of our fertility journey at CCRM. I felt like I had a cheer squad to myself; I can't address how exhausted I came in to meet the team, but their support lifted my faith to go to battle for the family I had once dreamed of. I'll try to summarize our journey! My husband & I got married in '15 & wanted children eventually, but chose to wait a few years. When we finally decided to start trying 3 years ago, the trying became endless & emotionally scarring. The pregnancy tests came out negative over & over again. In January of '21 we began our path with CCRM. I was frightened of the unknowns this journey presented to us: the shots, tests, & the waiting in between. In July of '21 our first embryo was transferred from which I became pregnant! I am so blessed and honored to share that our precious, miracle-dream baby boy was born 3/27/22!! We are thankful to God, Dr. K, Becca, Destiny & her excellent team!

Excellent Experience (
I originally came to CCRM 7 years ago to freeze my eggs. I returned in 2020 to fertilize those eggs, which ultimately resulted in one embryo. Dr K decided to test my levels to see if doing additional rounds made sense, and it turned out it did! I did 4 more rounds of egg retrieval and had a successful transfer this winter (with additional embryos waiting if I want to add to my family down the line). Throughout the entire experience Dr K and her staff were attentive, positive, supportive, and most importantly, kind. Their state of the art techniques and facilities have allowed me to be successful in this process, and their support kept me positive the entire time. I highly recommend CCRM and Dr K to anyone looking to expand their family through IVF! They are truly the best in the world!

Exceptional Experience
Dr. Kondapalli, and the entire CCRM staff, was fantastic from the first consultation through to our successful transfer. She walked us clearly through the process and answered all of our questions throughout making us feel very comfortable. She helped us through some challenging decisions to ensure the best path to success and was always positive and upbeat. IVF can be very difficult on a family but Dr. K’s constant professionalism and care made the entire experience as pleasant as possible.

I would highly recommend Dr. Kondapalli and her team. My husband and I tried for 3 years before going to CCRM for support. We went through 3 IUI's and one round of IVF before successfully getting pregnant. This of course was an emotional rollercoaster and very difficult physically and mentally but we knew CCRM always had a plan for our next steps. There are millions of factors that could have been preventing us from getting pregnant, but this team never gave up on us. Reading the comments below, about how Dr. Kondapalli is just after your money is not true. It is a very expensive process, you need to know that going in. It takes a lot of time, energy and is straining physically, emotionally, and mentally. I wish those who are having to go through this process the best of luck. You are not alone and you are enough. I have no doubt this team will support you to the best of their ability. Best of luck!

We came to CCRM and Dr. Kondapalli after several failed IUI's and a failed FET with another clinic. IVF is a mentally and physically exhausting process but every time we got to speak with her, she gave us hope. One thing I really appreciated was that after months of frustration surrounding the communication between me and my assigned nurse, I finally broke down and shared what had been going on with Dr. Kondapalli during one of our meetings. She immediately acknowledged my concerns and I had a new nurse that afternoon. She never once tried to make me feel like I was being high maintenance or difficult to deal with - she was extremely empathetic. We are currently pregnant with our miracle baby and I could not be more thankful to Dr. K for the gift she has given us. I would recommend her to any of my family and friends.

I am making this review late, as, well, I had a baby thanks to Dr. Kondapalli and have been sleep deprived! Jokes aside, Dr. Kondapalli is the best doctor I have almost ever been to. I had been with another doctor before her, and I feel like I barely saw him. I didn't understand my infertility and my diagnosis that well -- as he was so quick in every appointment. The first time we met with Dr. Kondapalli, I knew we had made the right choice. She explained my condition and why I was not getting pregnant clearly. And then she laid out all the options for my treatment -- and helped us come up with a plan to have a baby. It worked. We were pregnant, and I had my daughter. It was a good outcome -- which doesn't happen all the time -- as infertility is unpredictable. But I felt like more than a patient with her. She explained things, she talked to us. She didn't seem rushed or like she thought we were annoying. She and her team (we loved nurse Kristi A LOT) were caring and compassionate.

There are no words to explain how thankful my husband and I are to Dr. Kondapalli and her team. We are so grateful for the amazing treatment we received at CCRM. After going through three previous failed IVF cycles at a different fertility clinic, we were completely devastated. With very little hope left, we were referred to Dr. Kondapalli. The best decision we ever made! She reviewed our previous medical records and IVF cycles, she was very optimistic that she would be able to help us. She gave us a detailed plan on what she wanted to do and was very professional and compassionate. Her team was beyond helpful. They're all AMAZING! We were successful on our first IVF cycle! I'm writing this blessed at 8 months pregnant with our first baby!!!! I would not be here without Dr. Kondapalli. I'm deeply appreciative of the care I received by her. We highly recommend Dr. Kondapalli and can't wait to go back for our second baby. Five stars is not enough! Thank you for everything Dr. K!

I used CCRM to freeze my eggs after researching tons of places. I talked to several people, and although CCRM was more expensive, the people I spoke with did not get great results at the cheaper places. Dr. Kondapalli is so wonderful, and she really knows her stuff. I was so thankful to have her at the helm as I went through this process which ended up being incredibly successful. The entire process was made easier by my wonderful nurse (Carly) who answered all of my insane questions all of the time and who walked with me through all of the preparations. The entire front desk staff at the Denver office was incredible. They were always on time and always incredibly kind and quick to help. I am so thankful to the CCRM staff, nurses, and Dr. K for being so great on this scary journey.

My husband and I were diagnosed with infertility last October after trying to conceive naturally for a year. We were both 31 years old at the time and were told that IVF would be our only option to become parents. It was not something we ever expected to hear, but I'm so glad we went through it all with Dr. Kondapalli. She was empathetic and understanding of all of my concerns and feelings, but also transparent about the road ahead of us. I always felt that she was being honest with us about our care and chances of success. Her positive attitude helped make the process a little easier and I felt confident each time we saw her. Even under the haze of Valium during my embryo transfer, I could still hear her bubbly voice. I can't recommend her enough!
