Dr. Elizabeth Ann Kennard, MD

If my review can prevent one person from seeing Dr. Kennard, it will be worth it. I've never reviewed a doctor before, but after my numerous interactions with her I knew I had to speak out. After a few failed IUI's, I had requested a consultation to discuss options with Dr. Kennard-- hoping to brainstorm options for me (bloodwork, ovulation testing methods, medication, etc.). She opened our appointment (this is virtual) and said "Well I saw you on my schedule today [then she inserted major eye roll] and a little angel and devil appeared..." Someone also entered and left the room during our appointment (HIPPA violation). My first time meeting Dr. Kennard in-person, she came into the room and handed me a clipboard to sign. No hello, no greeting, no "it's nice to finally meet you in-person." She spoke only the bare minimum remarks during the procedure letting me know what she was doing to me. I tried to break the tension to ask if they were busy today. Before I knew it, she was… halfway out the door and said (in a VERY sarcastic tone), "I hope it works!!" and SLAMS the door. There was not even a millisecond for me to ask a question or about next steps. This was not the "on-call" doctor. This was my assigned, main fertility specialist doctor who I'm paying to help guide me on the most difficult, personal journey of my life. For her to treat me like a number on a conveyor belt is inexcusable. Never in my life have I met such an uncaring, non-empathic, crass doctor. I hope to never interact with someone as insensitive as her in my life. I've interacted with bathroom attendants who show more compassionate than this woman. Please, please do your heart a favor- do not see Dr. Kennard. Find a doctor who will be your advocate, listen to you, show compassion, and guide you through this difficult time.

Our first visit with Dr. Kennard was virtual (understandably so) and first impressions were not great. The experience to follow did not improve. In our virtual conversation she asked me if I thought Covid was real and told me to get the vaccine, which had nothing to do with fertility. It came off as a lecture. Their communication is lacking. I left 3 messages for an rx issue (Fri.) that was time sensitive. While they fixed the issue, which tells me they received those messages, there was no return call until the following week day (Mon.). Going into my first appointment I was seen by Dr. Rossi. There was no discussion of my blood work or what the results meant. I will say, her bed side manner is 100x better than Kennard. Going in for my IUI, this was the first time seeing Dr. Kennard in person. Her bed side manner is terrible. There was no greeting, no explanation for anything. Just handed me a clip board and told me to sign and that the number was X. I got one word answers to my… questions and when asked if this this was still unexplained infertility, her response was "appears so". Infertility is hard. It can be isolating and stressful all on it's own. And with Covid it is even harder, because they don't permit you to have your spouse with you. All of this should not be made harder, more stressful or even more isolating by the office who is treating you. Yes, the end goal is to get pregnant; however, you should not be made to feel like you are going through a pregnancy drive through with no human compassion. Regardless of the outcome of this IUI, I will not be returning to this office.

I was infertility problem for 6 years. Dr. Elizabeth A Kennard, she ' s very EXCELLENT,an amazing, helping my couple to get pregnant. I have gorgeous two girls, and Ausgust 24 th 2020 boy.

Was a patient at Ohio Reproductive Medicine was seen by Dr. Elizabeth Kennard. She was very awesome so informational, very caring and listened to me and my husband concerns. She came up with a plan for us and got pregnant after doing our first ever iui. We want to thank Dr. Kennard for everything and will be seeing her again for baby #2.

Dr. Kennard is an amazing doctor! She listened to our concerns and was very thorough and knowledgeable with all our previous testing and paperwork. She is easy to talk to, helped us understand the process and made us feel very comfortable with our decisions. I would definitely recommend Dr. Kennard to anyone looking for a straightforward but compassionate doctor!

Dr. Kennard gets right to the point. Having read some of these reviews, I will say that I think she has a more pointed sense of humor than some patients may understand, which could possibly rub some of them the wrong way. But if you’re looking for a smart doctor who produces joyful results (to the best of her and scientific ability), she’s the doctor you need. She’s enjoyable, empathetic, and always available if you need her. I would recommend her to friends in need of infertility treatment.

Dr Kennard is an amazing dr. I have gorgeous twin boys because of her. She knows what's shes doing and understands individuals situations.

just ok

She definitely gave me the correct diagnosis, but was not sensitive enough to stand there and hear me out. I got snubbed by her at that appt and so I scheduled another consult in which she was extremely condescending. I don't doubt that she knows what she is doing, but she could surely be a little better with patients. Also, she could never remember anything about what we had discussed or if she had prescribed or anything, at a previous appt. I felt awful having to tell HER what she should've already known.

I am pregnant thanks to Dr Kennard. Dr. Kennard and her staff were supportive, honest and caring throughout the entire process that led to my succesful pregnancy. I don't understand the reviewers who claim that Dr. Kennard had no people skills. I found her to be very personable, direct, and no nonsense. After struggling with the heartbreak of infertility I wanted someone who would produce results, not someone who would hold my hand and give me false hope. Dr. Kennard is honest and invested in helping you to get pregnant. She is focused on getting results, and she gets them. I am so glad that I found her and you will be too. Dr. Kennard is amazing.
