Bloom Reproductive Institute

Dr. Behera holds a special place in my heart for helping me and my husband receive the best gift… our daughter! After trying for over 5 years we sought her help. I loved sitting down with her one on one at our first visit. She takes the time to get to know you personally and your history. She puts together a plan that is best for you. We didn’t feel like we were just a number. Just after 2 months we were pregnant! I’ll never forget the day we received the call with a positive pregnancy test. Not only is Dr. Behera amazing but so is her staff! We’ll be seeing her again soon to help us with baby #2!!!

I have been seen by Dr. Behera for a few years now. I have had one successful IVF cycle and one that wasn’t. I have had multiple IUIs and procedures done. I think that Dr. Behera is a very kind and personable person and extremely knowledgeable. I should also say that my second transfer, the one that was not successful, I did it traveling from out of state so it was pretty stressful.
It was a difficult transfer this last time and there were a lot of little things that added up to me finally getting in touch with Dr. Behera after many tries. I was told many times during the cycle that she was too busy and it felt as though I was trying to get a hold of the president. I finally wrote a letter to her and she quickly responded by calling me and letting me know she would prefer to speak with me about all the issues I was having. It was a good phone call, because as I have said, she is very personable. A few weeks later I get a bill in the mail for the phone call. I know her time is valuable, but I was floored. I belong to many infertility support groups and many were shocked I was charged for talking with her. Many people have let me know there are other doctors out there that don’t charge for something like this, that they are able to speak with their doctor about their concerns and it’s not charged like an attorney with billable hours. This was the last piece for me in deciding to leave.
It was with great sadness that I made the decision to try another clinic. I felt like a uterus with a wallet, and the process is already so stressful, so expensive and so draining, it was just not worth it to stay with Bloom. I’m taking the risk of transferring my precious cargo of embryos because it would be too stressful to go through another transfer with Bloom.
I know many people that have had great experiences with them, I was one of them for my first cycle when she was a part of another practice. This time, I wasn’t as lucky as many of them are.

Two years ago we were referred to Dr. Behera by my OBGYN after suffering from three miscarriages and unexplained infertility. Immediately upon entering the clinic, we were greeted by Ashley who warmly and genuinely made the situation seem not as daunting, sterile, or uncomfortable. Dr. Behera met with us and explained her recommended protocol that was tailored to us based upon our individual circumstances and personal preferences. Dr. Behera listened to us and took the time to answer all questions we had– even if we asked more than once!
Due to careful monitoring during my first round of Clomid from Tamara, the clinic’s Nurse Practitioner, a potentially life-​threatening issue was mitigated. While monitoring my progress, Tamara noticed that something wasn’t right and had the intuition to run some labs to check it out. It turns out I had an ectopic pregnancy that was hours from rupturing. When I went to the hospital for an emergency laproscopic removal of the pregnancy, I was relieved to see Dr. Behera– calm, confident, and collected. After the surgery, she discussed in detail (with pictures) the removal, how far it had progressed, how she saved my tube– per my request, and removed endometriosis.
As we continued on our fertility journey, the clinic became my second home for some weeks, but I appreciated the constant monitoring and scheduling was a breeze. Most appointments were quick enough for me to drop in for 10 – 15 minutes and be on my way. Rarely did I have to wait more than 5 minutes to be seen and often I was able to walk in and be cared for immediately. Once again, due to Tamara’s trained eye and careful monitoring, another ectopic pregnancy was identified. Thankfully it was early enough to avoid surgery and even though I had to make a quick decision of how to proceed, I never felt pressured and always felt well-​informed and that my incessant questions were never chastised or met with frustration. In dire times, bed-​side manners matter and the staff at Bloom does it best.
Per consultation with Dr. Behera and Tamara, we attempted our first IVF and were blessed with our first child on our first attempt. The process of IVF is stressful, expensive, and filled with emotional and ethical choices. Once again, Dr. Behera and staff answered every question with research-​supported facts and human sincerity. The combination can not be overlooked in these circumstances. And when you’re hopped up on hormones, it’s comforting to know you can cry in the presence of your provider without feeling that a ‘crazy’ note was being recorded in your file. These women ‘get it’ and they give their all to help you build your family.
We have since returned to Dr. Behera to grow our family and are expecting our second child in February. As issues popped up (as they do when you’re going through the complicated process), I once again had constant communication with the staff and the freedom to make individual selections based on our personal preferences and economic situation. We are so thankful for Dr. Behera, Tamara, and the entire staff at Bloom and only wish we would’ve seen them sooner. Working with them gave us hope and control over a situation in which we were beginning to feel helpless. They made our dreams of having children a reality and for that we are forever thankful. Even more than that, they provided such personal attention to our situation that they have become an interwoven part of our family story. I highly recommend their services and encourage anyone with fertility concerns to make a consultation with Dr. Behera. You won’t be disappointed!

Just had my initial consult today & was blown away with Dr. Behera! She is incredibly knowledgeable & personable. Finally getting some answers and direction.

Dr. Behera is simply the best Fertility doctor! Because of her I have a 2 year old little boy and another baby boy that is coming in two weeks. She literally gave my husband and I our family. Every other Doctor would not have had hope with my situation. But Dr. Behera knew it was possible for me to have my own babies, and she was right. Dr. Behera and her staff feel like family to me now. They are all so warm and caring. I never felt like just a patient. I also have multiple friends that have gone to her with different medical situations and they all have babies! If you are in a situation where you need help to conceive, then I would definitely go to Dr. Behera!

Dr. Millie Behera is absolutely the best at what she does.
Because of her I have beautiful triplet babies.
Fertility can be a very tough road, and it is not for the faint of heart, but I wouldn’t have trusted my family to anyone other than Dr. Behera. The nurses are amazing too!!!
