Now that he [Dr. Cecil Long] has his own private practice, each visit is very personal. He cares so much about how you are and what's happening with each cycle. He does every ultrasound himself, and answers every question you have. Even making time to talk to you if you have a question outside of the office that you forgot to ask. That's the reason he started his own practice, he was losing grasp of his patients treatments and wanted it to be more personal and not have so much go between. I feel like he has a true passion for the work he does and it really shows if you have the chance to meet him. He has never given up on me and my husband, or our dream to expand our family. For that I am very thankful.
Monitoring appointments are very personal [at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine]. The doctor is usually in with each patient to assist with the monitoring and explains everything that is going on. I feel like this is exceptional care. You won't get this a most clinics...There are 2 primary clinics. I do wish they had 1 combined clinic, each clinic is fairly easy to get to though. All the staff are very understanding, caring, and helpful. Their office manager is great at helping with anything you need, as are any of the staff members. They are always willing to answer any questions or find an answer for you.

How was your experience with Cecil Long at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama?
Dr. Long really cares about his patients. He sees every patient personally at each visit. He has such passion for the work he does. He explains things throughly and is always there if you have any hesitations or questions. His level of care is exceptional.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Cecil Long at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama?
Just take the chance and schedule a meeting with him. You will be surprised at how much he treats you like family instead of just another patient or dollar sign.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Cecil Long at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama?
While he was in practice at ART in Birmingham I felt more like a number, but he always made time to call and check on me after each failed cycle. Now that he has his own private practice, each visit is very personal. He cares so much about how you are and what's happening with each cycle. He does every ultrasound himself, and answers every question you have. Even making time to talk to you if you have a question outside of the office that you forgot to ask. That's the reason he started his own practice, he was losing grasp of his patients treatments and wanted it to be more personal and not have so much go between. I feel like he has a true passion for the work he does and it really shows if you have the chance to meet him. He has never given up on me and my husband, or our dream to expand our family. For that I am very thankful.
Describe the protocols Cecil Long used in your cycles at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama and their degree of success.
He has used letrozole, folistim, gonal f, menopur, sub q and IM injections. We have tried many different combinations. Each with different results. He has worked on finding the right combination of meds for my particular need at each cycle. I actually had a chemical pregnancy with my very first round of letrozole. Nothing the next round. Each round has faced it's own challenges. He has faced each with a new plan of action. I have had 2 corrective surgeries under his care, to remove fibroids, stage 3 endometriosis, a blocked tube, scar tissue from previous surgery (unrelated). He has taken exceptional care of me each time.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Each nurse I have ever met with has greeted me like a friend. They are always caring, encouraging, and compassionate.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Cecil Long at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama.
When I first became a patient everything was out of pocket. For the most part it still is, he does have more set cost for his procedures, this has made the process more affordable for his patients.
Describe Cecil Long's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama.
He approves of both depending on the patient.

Dr. Long is a God send. He pushed me to have a surgery that my other doctor told me to ignore. During that surgery he found and removed a uterine septum (which could have been causing me to miscarry repeatedly), uterine fibroids, scar tissue and polyps. If I hadn't had that surgery, I would've spent 20k on IVF just to lose the baby IF I got pregnant. He talks to us each and every time we go to see him. He is honest. He gives us his personal phone number. He calls almost immediately if I need him. I have never met a more caring person/doctor.
This [America Institute] is a very friendly and open clinic. From the moment you walk in there are pink velvet chairs, and a friendly front desk person. It doesn't feel like a cattle call which is how I felt at my last clinic. Not once have I been crying in the waiting room while being ignored. I get in quickly and they take time with me. My husband felt comfortable with both the doctors. They don't try to rush you through anything. They try to get to know and they won't push you for something if you don't want to do it. They listen and they advise. I truly appreciate their approach.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Cecil Long at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama?
Go see him immediately. He is a caring and wonderful person. I wish I would've gone to him first. Also, bring a notebook. He explains a lot and it's good to have something with you to write it all down.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Cecil Long at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama?
My last clinic was completely like a factory. I didn't understand what it was like truly be a person to a doctor. Dr. Long first met with us and talked to us for over two hours. The next day he called and referred me an ART case (I'm an attorney). He gave both me and my husband his cell phone number. He remembers things I tell him. He reduced the price of surgery when the cost exceeded what insurance would pay. He spends time each and every appointment to talk to us. In fact, he says "I don't want to get people pregnant if I don't remember their names or faces."
Describe the protocols Cecil Long used in your cycles at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama and their degree of success.
First was laparoscopy and a hysteroscopy. After that I took estradiol for 25 days to heal and for the last 15, I took progesterin as well. Then we started with letrozole and gonal-f with a trigger for an IUI. I ovulated too early. Then we did letrozole and a trigger. No pregnancy yet. We're looking to do the invocell in April.
Describe your experience with your nurse at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama. (Assigned nurse: Trista)
There isn't a moment when you don't get a call back within an hour. You are able to reach a nurse at any point in time - even New Year's Eve.

He is cheaper than anyone else in Birmingham. He's not trying to make money just babies!!!
Describe Cecil Long's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama.
Dr. Long pushes for eSET because he doesn't want multiples. He worries they will put too much pressure on the body.

Dr. Long is candid and frank but also warm and optimistic...Both my husband and I think highly of him. He has a genuine personality that puts you at ease....Dr. Long offers his personal cell phone number to answer questions (I’ve never called so I don’t know if he answers!) I usually feel better and motivated when I leave their office....Dr. Long does IVF with ICSI and INVOcell.... I’ve had one oral medication cycle, one oral and injection cycle with timed intercourse and one oral/injection cycle with IUI.
The staff [America Institute of Repro Med] at the clinic knows my name. They know what kind of work I do. They know my husbands name.... Strengths: friendly staff, now has lab services, easy to schedule, usually get a timely call back, not intrusive or inpatient, down to earth. Weaknesses: initially somewhat disorganized (clinic had just relocated), uncomfortable waiting room chairs, initially did not have lab services.... I typically see Jen. She is easy to talk to, always calls back

How was your experience with Cecil Long at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama?
I’ve only been working with Dr. Long since June. Both my husband and I think highly of him. He has a genuine personality that puts you at ease. This is hugely important to me since for most visits your pants are off and your feet are in stirrups...
Dr. Long answers questions without making you feel needy or like you are taking up too much time. He is quite optimistic-sometimes I worry that he won’t be able to deliver what is said.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Cecil Long at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama?
Ask all the questions you want.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Cecil Long at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama?
The staff at the clinic knows my name. They know what kind of work I do. They know my husbands name. Dr. Long is candid and frank but also warm and optimistic. They try to work around my work schedule. Dr. Long offers his personal cell phone number to answer questions (I’ve never called so I don’t know if he answers!) I usually feel better and motivated when I leave their office.
Describe the protocols Cecil Long used in your cycles at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama and their degree of success.
I’ve had one oral medication cycle, one oral and injection cycle with timed intercourse and one oral/injection cycle with IUI. A trigger ahot was used with each of these cycles. I am currently in my TTW from my first IUI. Medication has been used because I do not always ovulate on my own and I respond well to the medications...increased chance of pregnancy. One month after starting treatment with Dr. Long, I had a laparoscopy as he suspected endometriosis. I had Stage II endo and a uterine polyp.
Describe your experience with your nurse at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama. (Assigned nurse: Jen)
I typically see Jen. She is easy to talk to, always calls back. She has been through some infertility treatment herself which I find to be comforting.

Strengths: friendly staff, now has lab services, easy to schedule, usually get a timely call back, not intrusive or inpatient, down to earth.
Weaknesses: initially somewhat disorganized (clinic had just relocated), uncomfortable waiting room chairs, initially did not have lab services.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Cecil Long at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama.
My insurance doesn’t have coverage for any medication. Procedures-surgery/ultrasounds/labs have been covered to an extent. The clinic does always explain cost. I’ve spent probably around $5500 so far but this includes everything.

Dr. Long has been wonderful and we are very excited we found him and look forward to having him help us along our infertility journey. He is very knowledgeable, understanding, and patient as we explain our past history and look to develop a future plan. He has identified issues upfront that will help us along the way and has been very thorough and positive so far.... So far with Dr. Long I have had initial consult, labs, ultra sound, and identified need for laparoscopy and he has successfully completed that surgery.
Strengths: Organized, timely, helpful, patient. Go in with open mind and you will be pleasantly surprised. Dr. Long and all of his staff [America Institute of Reproductive Medicine] are ready to help you and will always do so with a smile on their face.... So far, each of the nurses has been very kind and knowledgeable.... I would ask them to set up a meeting with him and allow yourself the opportunity to chat with him and see how wonderful of a doctor he is

I really like Dr. Long. He is straight forward without being blunt or harsh. He felt that Invocell would be our best option for conception and was not rude about it. He explained the entire process and I left feeling empowered.... We will be doing Invocell which is affordable IVF. Dr. Long and his NP Karen are one of the few practices in the United Stares who offer Invocell and have had results that are compatible with that of traditional IVF.

After almost 2 years at another clinic i switched to dr long to do invocell ivf. He strongly encouraged a laparoscopic surgery to explore my uterus after a prior diagnosis of bicornuate uterus. I agreed to the survey and dr. Long actually found a uterine septum that was able to be resected and stage 3 endo. I don’t feel ivf would have worked if he had not encouraged this surgery. I’m doing stims for ivf this month.
Excellent communicators and compassionate care given to every patient. Every staff member [America Institute of Repro Med] is nice and courteous. I have not found any weaknesses at this time. I recommend this clinic in several Facebook fertility groups I’m in. ... Excellent communication [nursing staff] ... Dr. Long only recommends transfer of two embryos at a time

Dr. Long is very caring and a great doctor. Even though Dr. Hammond oversees all the other appointments, Dr. Long is always in the know of what's going on. I would recommend him to any and everyone! He always makes you feel like you matter. No question is too small...I am currently doing INVOcell. My retrieval and transfer are schedule for this week and next! I am currently taking Gonal-F 225IU. I just finished 5 days of Letrozole 2xday.
I am currently doing INVOcell [at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine]...Every single person working at AIRM are AMAZING! Karen [nurse], specifically, shows so much compassion for what she does. I love her so much!...You can call 1000 times a day and they would answer all your questions and concerns. I have never felt as if I was bothering them. Everyone from the receptionist to the doctors are the kindest people you will ever meet!

You can call 1000 times a day and they would answer all your questions and concerns. I have never felt as if I was bothering them. Everyone from the receptionist to the doctors are the kindest people you will ever meet!

Describe Cecil Long's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at America Institute of Reproductive Medicine – Alabama.
I am very thankful that Dr. Long will let my husband and I transfer multiple embryos (2). I have had a previous child with no issues, so they said it shouldn't be an issue IF I were to get pregnant with twins. He did go over the risks of multiples though.
