Dr. Mark Livingston Jutras, MD

I now have three beautiful children because of this remarkable Dr..He is the best. If you want a friend not so much but if you want a child he is the one that will make that happen.

My experience with them was very negative. It was also unsuccessful, though followed by a successful pregnancy by a different fertility doctor. Read some of the comments out there about them, including Dr. Jutras's own words, posted in various forums.

This has been a horrible clinic to try to deal with. We have been trying to schedule (yes just schedule) an appointment for about three weeks now with no success. We are totally open to schedule, they seem to have a problem running their office. The first time we called, on a Monday, they said they had an appointment that Thursday and they would call us back. After not hearing back from them for 2 days, we tried calling and left several messages. Over a week later we got a hold of them and was told they would call us back when they can find an appointment time (apparently they do not have any type of scheduling system) and we NEVER heard back from them. A few phone calls later (and messages) they returned a phone call to tell us they will call us back once they figure out a time for an appointment again. No call back. After a week we called them back to have them tell us they are not accepting any new patients until next year. You could not tell us that for the 3 weeks we wasted? It is obvious they have little to no concern for their patients (or potential patients).

If you are looking for a doctor to hold your hand and be your best friend, he is not for you. If you are looking for a doctor who knows what they are doing, than he is your best bet. Dr. Jutras is one of the most highly trained and experienced REs out there. He knows his stuff. He is not mean but is not warm and fuzzy. He does not sugar coat things. He does tell you what you need to know even if it is not what you want to hear. This was hard for me at first but I am now thankful for it. Getting pregnant is hard enough. I do not need some RE to sell me false promises. Mary (his wife and nurse) can be a little harsh at times but she is also one of the best as well. I would not want to be anywhere else.

ARConcepts...you are Our Angels!!! We Love You So...So Much!!! Our Little Miracle is a beautiful blessing because of all your hard work, kind words, persistence, knowledge & faith!!! You are our biggest fans.....You are our miracle!!

I spoke with the office again when they called. The office was recovering from a week of surgeries and catching up. They were very kind and apologetic for the wait time. I am very pleased and all set up with an appointment. Thank you Rochelle for clearing this up and putting up with me :)

6 years ago - after a terrible experience with REACH, I went to see Dr. Jutras. I was happy with the staff and everyone seemed to know exactly what to say and do. I was 38 - only had one tube and it was tied. No chance of me having a baby again. Dr. Jutrus said "we can untie that tube and see what happens but I have had alot of success and I believe your chances are high". We untied, and I got pregnant with my babygirl on our first try. I have alot of respect for this doctor and his clinic. The price was very reasonable and he took good care of us. After many years and many recommendations from me - I called the office to try one more time for my husband a son :). The office was so nice and remembered me - I was surprised. Then I didn't hear back and I called again and i was told "the nurse has my file" and was acting kinda snotty at me that I called back. I have yet to hear back from them...I had a great experience with the facility and now I am confused as to why I was treated like that. Disappointed.

I actually just got on the computer to look up the new address for Dr and Mary Jutras. After reading these reviews I decided to put my two cents in. 20 Years ago after numerous so called "fertility doctors "and surgeries / fertility procedures I was put in contact with Dr. Jutras. After four attempts at ivf ( 1 unsuccessful, 1early miscarriage, 2 eptopic pregnancies, on my 5th attempt I was blessed with fraternal twins. I can truly say I have been thru the mill and back with Dr. Jutras and Mary. With that said... This is a man who is being paid by you to help you achieve a life long dream of having a family. Does he have a bedside manner? Some say no... Does his wife Mary rule!! Some say yes. Here is what I say, you can stop reading at this point if you would like!! At my point of absolute despair I did not pay Dr. Jutras to have a bedside manner nor did I expect Mary to be my best friend. I simply expected Dr. Jutras to do everything he was medically trained to do to help me achieve my life long dream of becoming a parent in which he did. So to those of you wanting to achieve the same goal, here is my advise... Put your big girl/boy pants on and realize this is a struggle. Dr. Jutras is a medically trained professional !!! Not your best friend. You are NOT his sole patient ( although you would like to think you are the only one with this problem) sorry to say, you're not. I could go on but I would just like to say not everyone is a success story,for those of you who aren't I am truly sorry , for those of you like myself who have had the blessing of achieving a family with the unselfish help of Dr and Mary Jutras congratulations for making it thru the pain and struggle. After my 5th Ivf Dr Jutras and Mary never gave up on me. It wasn't until then that I realized, he may not have a bedside manner, she may be really tough and rule the office however, if they both cried with me every time I lost a pregnancy they may not have been as willing to see me to my ultimate goal. Someone had to be strong and I thank God everyday for 16 years now that they were because I can tell you at that time in my life I certainly wasn't.

We changed to ARC after being disappointed with the corporate medical experience offered by REACH. ARC offers a more straightforward, friendly and affordable service. Dr Jutras doesn't say much, but he's very professional and Mary is warm, kind and knowledgeable. A lot of RE doctors and nurses become worn out and robotic - that is not the case at ARC. We feel very lucky to have fallen pregnant on our first round of IVF - our son is now 22 months old - and we are back for another try.

I would refer anyone I know here and have. They are so much better than the other places I went. The location is very convenient. Everything is done in house. They are personable and it's not like a corporate factory. They inform you every step of the way and the prices are very close to what they say they are. Mary is nice and not as scary as some reviews like to say. She tells you a lot of information so be prepared to learn.

The two best moments of our lives we owe to Dr. Jutras. We became pregnant with twins the first IVF cycle we tried, and we have healthy, happy twin toddlers today. Dr. Jutras and his staff are compassionate and dedicated to helping you every step of the way. They work endlessly Monday through Sunday to make sure each patient is taken care of with the precise timing necessary to increase the chances of a viable pregnancy the first time. They also guide you and do everything humanly possible to maintain the pregnancy once it happens. Other clinics sometimes allow a woman to become pregnant but do not take the crucial steps to prevent miscarriage the way Advanced Reproductive Concepts does. I would recommend Dr. Jutras to anyone, and our family is eternally grateful to him and the staff at ARC because we have two little miracles.

In 2010, my husband and visited DR Jutras office. We sat through our first consultation and we were told because we were in our late 30s that the chances of us getting pregnant on our own were not going to happen. I did not feel comfortable with that diagnosis just because I was 38 years old. They tried to sell me an IVF package of up to 5 tries for $34,000. My husband and I decide not to do the treatment found another doctor and at the age of 40 we got pregnant naturally no infertility treatment. Do your research and go with your gut feeling.

What I like most about the office is that I was usually the onlt one there. I should have taken that as a sigh. I really didn't have a problem with Dr. Jutras, he was there just filling space. His wife was my "DR". She is useless, and will be the down fall of his practice. She has that,(I tell you what to do, shut up, don't ask any questions, because I know it all). I had two IUI procedures there. What a mistake! I tried telling her tha Letrazole does not work for me, but she would not back down from it. I was a dummy, because I did what she forced me to do. Needless to say I did not get pregnant. I wanted to do 1 more cycle, but this time with Clomid. She was insistant on trying the Letrazole.She is very argumentative and rude. I went to another facility, used 150mg of Clomid, and was PREGNANT :)on the first try. So Mary if you are reading this, PLEASE SHUT UP!! AND LISTEN TO YOUR PATIENTS. WE KNOW OUR BODIES A LITTLE MORE THAT YOU.

There's no question as to whether or not Dr. Jutras knows what he's doing, he absolutely knows his stuff. He doesn't talk or smile much, but he helped us achieve pregnancy which is what we paid him to do. In my opinion, that's all that matters though it would have been nice to have a RE with better bedside matters. As far as questions and concerns being answered or addressed, I, too, felt that I was brushed off but not in a rude away. It was more like, "Trust us, don't worry, we know what we're doing". I will def. be using Dr. Jutras again for future IVF procedures.

Really wish I had seen the reviews here prior to signing a contract with this horrible excuse for a service provider. I find it humorous that "ease in getting an appointment" counts as a positive... maybe it is so easy to get an appointment because others are smart enough to go someplace else? Arrogant, obtuse, and rude are the best words to describe this physician and his wife/head nurse. Yelling at me, yelling at my wife, yelling at other physicians (my wife had a reaction to the fertility medication and we sought treatment/consultation from another physician - how DARE we do such a thing?!) If you pre-pay for services (multi-cycle) you're a SUCKER as they will fight you tooth-and-nail instead of providing a refund of excess fees paid as allowed by contract if you decide to withdraw from the program. Seriously, if you have any other choice available, I encourage you to pursue that instead of looking to Dr. Mark Jutras for your IVF treatment.

very short, not friendly never get to speak w/ nurse, no professional medical advice, poor service

They will be nice right up untill you pay them and the work begins. They are curt and very rude if you any questions at all that might be outside their standard procedures. His wife the head nurse is most of the problem with this clinic she has no compassion and is so rude that I had to constantly keep my husband away from my appointments for fear of the two of them geeting into it over they way she spoke to me. I was upset every time I left the clinic. If it were not for the contract we were under I would have gone back to the reach clinic.. I truly hope you have a better experince than I did.

I saw Dr. Jutras 4 times during my ivf cycle. It was very short as if he was only an assistant. He didn't talk much and never really smiled or make conversation. I felt like a guinea pig because they told me to do only what they said and brush me off when I had questions. I thought it was really rude of them for doing so because I paid them a lot of money so the least they can do is listen to my fears. Overall Dr. Jutras is a very good Physician and would recommend him to family and friends because he "DOES" know what he is doing. I can honestly say that if he didn't care for his patients some of us wouldn't be here with our little ones. God bless him, his family, and his practice. And maybe help him lighten up a little bit. Us infertile woman have too much testosterone hormone in us that it can be a problem... j/k

Dr Jutras was our doctor in Florida and I thank God everyday that I found him and Mary. Our daughter, Hanna Faith, is now 5 years old. After 6 heartbreaking pregnancies, and 22 years of trying to bring home our baby, we now have our Blessing From Heaven. Dr Jutras and Mary are wonderful people and exceptional medical professionals. I have a picture of them with Hanna Faith hanging in her bedroom. I will always think of them and say a prayer of thanks that God allowed our paths to cross.

Don't expect to be seen without waiting for over 45 minutes for each visit. They fail to tell you this upfront. We chose to go to another practice because of their total disrespect for our time. Also, don't make any negative comments about having to wait or you will be black listed from their practice.
