Testimonials

Dr. Witten is an amazing, compassionate doctor who helped us become a family. Our twins will have their first birthday on March 15. Thanks, Dr. Witten!


Great doctor! I had been to six different OB’s before I decided to schedule an appointment with a specialist. Did some research and I am glad I chose Dr. Witten. I now have a beautiful little boy, thanks to Dr Witten’s diagnosis and In Vitro procedure. He is very caring and explains things to you in a way you can understand.


After several months of trying to conceive, we visited Dr. Witten. He and his staff were unbelievable. Dr. Witten was very open and honest. He and his staff were exceptional. I was never uncomfortable or felt awkward. It’s been almost 6 years ago that our miracle arrived and I still get teared up thinking about Dr. Witten, his staff and the journey all of us went through.


I have been under Dr. Witten’s care for about three months now. I drive 1 1/2 hours to see him, it is totally worth the drive! He is very kind and understanding. It seemed like when we had a bump in the road he was just as upset as we were. I feel like he is very considerate of us and doesn’t order unnecessary tests. When we got bad news about my husband’s sperm count at my last visit, Dr. Witten sat down with me, held my hand while I cried (I was just there for my follie check, so I was alone) and encouraged me on how to be supportive of my husband. I really appreciate his kindness. I love this office and will recommend them to anyone!


In addition to being a great doctor and helping us get two miracles, Dr. Witten is such a caring and compassionate man! IVF is such an emotional rollercoaster and he literally held my hand to get me through parts of it! I LOVE SIRM-St. Louis!


I’ve never met a man so compassionate and aware of what his patients go through as Dr. Witten. He totally ‘gets it’!! I can’t brag enough about him!!
