Marilyn Haywood started the fertility care clinic to help heal and educate women. My wife and I have been very impressed with her dedication to our family, my wife's health, and Marilyn's own education and knowledge. The clinic work's with Dr. Michael Padilla (their NaPro physician), and he is also a great wealth of knowledge and experience. Together, Dr. Padilla, and Marilyn have cleared up many symptoms my wife was having in her hormonal cycle including: painful periods, auto-immune reactivity, hormonal imbalance, and infertility concerns. In the past, we've had really bad experiences with Creighton fertility planning, and Marilyn has reversed the past experiences with her empathy, knowledge, and highly detailed explanations/support. The Franciscan fertility team has developed very helpful guides and easy to understand instruction that give you power and understanding of your hormonal health and body. Thank you Marilyn and your team for the great work you do, and hopefully many more family's can benefit going into the future.

Update: I am holding my 4 month old as I type this!! —— I have been a patient of Franciscan Fertility Care and Dr. Padilla since April. We are still seeking answers but I have never experienced such a thorough and understanding patient care team in my life. Sarah and Dr. Padilla work together to identify solutions and are willing to hear out any lay research I’ve done. While I have not gotten pregnant yet, they have helped me understand that getting healthy cycles is the most important and conceiving is a side effect of that. They truly care about my health and getting me on the right track rather than finding bandaid solutions. I can’t scream their praises enough. If you are close to giving up, let them be your last effort.

Very happy with my experience here. The education is thorough and useful, and the plan of care is individualized for every patient. The doctors and nurses are good listeners, are kind, creative and flexible. I learned so much from the nurse specialists - I was shocked no one had ever taught me these things before! Every woman, whether or not she is trying to conceive, would benefit from going through their evidence - based education. I've worked in healthcare for years, but didn't really understand my own body until I met with Marilyn. I initially made an appointment because frequent miscarriages run in my family. I was about to get married and try to get pregnant, and wanted to know if I might have that same problem. I discovered my progesterone was borderline low, was prescribed a supplement, and am now in my second trimester with a healthy baby. I'm very thankful for Franciscan FertilityCare! I saw that another reviewer mentioned this clinic only works with married couples, but my understanding is that they work with women of all ages and relationship statuses. My fiance was welcome to attend any session, but it wasn't required.

My family has nothing but gratitude for the Franciscan FertilityCare Center! After 2.5 years of recurrent miscarriages, my husband and I finally made the decision to seek help in November of 2021. Marilyn was extremely flexible with our schedules, and always had snacks 😋 She taught both of us about our reproductive health and catered every session to our needs. Dr. Michael Padilla used our charting to find out what was wrong vs quick fixes. He was thorough, informative and honest throughout. In May of 2022, we shared the news of our pregnancy! Marilyn and Dr. Padilla continued to monitor us throughout the pregnancy, even offering support with breastfeeding and postpartum needs. Our healthy 1 year old daughter is a blessing we will always be thankful for! THANK YOU FRANCISCAN FERTILITYCARE CENTER!

I had an absolutely amazing experience through the fertility center. Everyone was so kind, caring, and actually took the time to get to know me and my journey. I felt like the Creighton Method was super unique to me and my body and it worked! After 4 1/2 years of unexplained infertility, I now have a 3 week old! I would highly recommend this method and fertility center to anyone looking to achieve a pregnancy.
