Carol Redmond

She is attentive, helpful and sympathetic. I had her recently while navigating through a second loss, and she took the time to speak to me and definitely helped to have her around.

We are so very lucky to have had the kind, warm, expert counsel and guidance of Dr. Redmond. I knew of her from a speech she gave to my university class some years back which presented the realities of fertility while pursuing a professional career. in large measure I am pregnant, with a successful career, because of her example, compassion, insights and results - based knowledge. She has many other qualities that go far above and beyond. She is attuned, an empathic listener, generous with her time, a shining example of excellence in the medical profession. Through her speech I also recall she is a mother of four, which makes her all the more remarkable. I know first hand she is committed only to helping those sincere, open in their commitment to have children. She puts children, family, care and warmth above all. After this experience, she embodies what it means to be a doctor of impeccable goodness and integrity. (The staff are superior - we've been around - and they're second to none. Like Dr. Redmond.)

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Redmond. We wasted a year at another fertility clinic before we found her. Within six months, I was pregnant. Dr. Redmond treated me as a "whole person", by which I mean that she understood the emotional toll of fertility treatment. She understood that after a string of losses, we needed to move forward quickly. She was great at answering questions. You could really see her thinking an issue through on the spot, before making a recommendation. There were times when she was blunt, but that's part of her job, and I'd take her approach over the patronizing tone of my previous doctor any day. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the amazing staff at Hannam. They are friendly, empathetic, and great with communication. The wait times for cycle monitoring were very reasonable. It is a very well-run facility.

Dr. Redmond was honest and wonderful. She helped me with both my sons. I would recommend her to anyone. She was correct in what I needed to do both times. Highly recommend.

Dr. Redmond is great. She is smart and caring and she tells you the truth, she doesn't sugar coat the facts. She never tried to make us go through unnecessary procedures (some people here have said that she is money oriented, which is totally a lie). We are grateful to be her patients

I have never felt so comfortable and confident in a Dr. before. Dr. Redmond truly takes the time to explain her findings and her plan to move forward. She made sure that all my questions were answered and if I had a concern it was address quickly! I have never felt rushed in my meetings with her. I understand that this is a delicate matter and knowing that she is involved in my care makes this so much better.

I must say I am shocked at the bad reviews. I am currently in treatment with Dr.Redmond and have had 1 unsuccessful IUI and 1 unsuccessful IVF but I am still hopeful. Even though this has been a heart wrenching, tedious, emotionally and physically draining experience I cannot blame Dr. Redmond and the team. Dr. Redmond is a no BS, to the point doctor. She is not my therapist she is my fertility doctor. I'm not looking for a doctor to sip peach tea with and to tell me everything is going to be ok, I have my support system for that. If you are looking for someone to tell you how it is with FACTS, and stats then I would suggest Redmond. She is super smart, speaks with compassion and experience. I have never had to wait on a response. Appointments always run on time. Monitoring is quick and efficient. They run the clinic tight and therefor may come across as sterile but I would prefer a clinic that doesn't waste my time and provides me with a seamless and effective experience over some small talk. The fact of the matter is that Fertility treatments are VERY expensive and there is no guarantee. I truly believe Dr. Redmond is a highly qualified doctor who wants want to help me.

My partner and I are extremely content with the outcome at this center. Dr Redmond is calm and realistic. We are expecting in March after 3 years of trying. My eggs had problems and my partners sperm had problems (ie. Problem on both sides). I Have recommended this center to my friends. Thank you to the hard working team.... Patience is key - ladies try to stay calm. I always tell all women on this journey - the process is not easy; please have realistic goals. What we wish for doesn't always come true. It is not the doctor or staff's fault. It is our luck. Psychosocial support was critical during this process - seek help emotionally if you're feeling depressed. Thank you Carol for looking after my spouse and me and not giving up on us. We are forever grateful..

I’m shocked to read all the negative reviews about Dr. Redmond. She has been my RE since 2011 and she has been nothing but supportive, encouraging and compassionate throughout my difficult and long fertility journey. She’s super smart, wants success for her patients so therefore she’svery facts and stats inclined. She tells it like it is and is very straightforward. I personally prefer that then a super sensitive mushy doctor without the success rates that Dr. Redmond has. If you’re looking for emotional support hire a therapist. Dr. Redmond will help you get a baby. That’s her job. If that’s what you want then she’s the doctor for you. The clinic runs like a well-oiled machine and that’s the reason why I recommend Hannam. It’s no nonsense fertility care.

I just finished my first IVF cycle with Dr. Redmond and have 6 perfect frozen embryos waiting to be transferred. I am not pregnant yet, but the odds are certainly in our favour. I would recommend her to anyone. She is not the warmest person in the world, but she is honest and gives you the facts. We never felt rushed during our appointments, and she even took the time to explain the whole IVF process to my husband and I in great detail, as I am a naturally very curious person. First of all, I can be in and out of the Hannam clinic for my daily bloodwork/ultra sounds in half an hour. I know people that spend all morning at their fertility clinic. I feel as though they do their best to respect your time. I always tried to show up right before 7am, and made it to work downtown by 8am, even on days I needed to see the nurse. Dr. Redmond's consult appointments for us have always been on time as well. We started seeing Dr. Redmond in April, had our diagnosis in June (male factor infertility), and were immediately put on the IVF wait list, given a quote for self-funded IVF, and given a few treatment options in the meantime. We elected to try some drugs to tighten up my cycle for a few months, plus progesterone, and . Due to our male factor issues, Dr. Redmond told us trying naturally had a slim chance of working, but was happy to let us keep going as long as we wanted, until we were ready to move on to IVF. She said we were not candidates for IUI due to my husband's low sperm count, but said we could try it if we wanted to. We took her advise and moved right to IVF this November. For the record, I am 31. I am reading many negative comments about this doctor from women in their early 40s who are surprised to hear that their fertility may not be optimal. As much as we would like to stop our biological clocks, women are not as fertile in their 40s as they are in their 30s and not as fertile in their 30s as they are in their 20s. If a doctor tells you this (very true) piece of information, it seems like they are trying to prevent you from spending time, energy and money on something that may not work. I would be upset if I had a doctor that let me believe that my IVF cycle at 43 had a high percentage of working! Even at 31, she outlined all the risks to me about what could go wrong during the process so that I was prepared and understood how complex IVF is, and the many things that could happen along the way.
