Hey ladies!
Its been awhile since Ive been on here. I contacted the clinic today and got an out of office reply from Tina saying that Dr.V is retiring as of October 31st 2021!
I was shocked! I also didnt even know they have an IG account!
The other Drs will stay on.. the only one I know is Dr.Garcia. Shes very good too. Ive had her for retrieval. Im just in shock! We have 1 embryo left and we were thinking of cycling soon. Hopefully Dr.V will be able to do the transfer.
Dr.Virro RETIRING!!
