Wait time was very low...I felt like the written protocol was confusing and hard to follow. Sometimes Tabitha took longer to respond to me via email and voice mail than expected. When my husband expressed to her that I was feeling lost and like they didn't care, she stepped up her game and was much more responsive. Whenever o dealt with Gail she was amazing.

Describe your experience with ARMS.
Employees sometimes argued in front of patients. Phlebotomists did not label vials in front of patient until I brought that to Dr Moffitt 'a attention.
Scheduling was easy. Wait time was very low.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
Dr Moffitt provided good information, but also omitted information that I feel would have helped me make better informed decisions. He however was responsive to my concerns and had regulated lab procedures that were not being followed by phlebotomists fixed when I brought them to his attention. He provided his cell phone so I could call him directly if needed. I felt like the nurses sometime took a bit too long to respond, but that could have just been from IVF induced anxiety.
Describe your experience with your nurse at ARMS. (Assigned nurse: Tabitha)
I felt like the written protocol was confusing and hard to follow. Sometimes Tabitha took longer to respond to me via email and voice mail than expected. When my husband expressed to her that I was feeling lost and like they didn't care, she stepped up her game and was much more responsive. Whenever o dealt with Gail she was amazing.
What specific things went wrong at ARMS?
- Failed to order appropriate test
- Provided conflicting information
- Failed to convey critical information
- Failed to consider drug intolerance
How was your experience with Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
Drew was a straight shooter, but I felt like his bedside manner was lacking a bit. If a patient is looking for a lot of hand holding, this may not be the doctor for them. Ultimately I had a positive pregnancy test with my first FET and we got more eggs than he expected, so I'm overall satisfied. He also responded to my calls and texts after hours and on weekends. I just always felt like a nuisance when contacting him directly. I suppose that's my own issue.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
Do research in advance so you know what questions to ask as you may not be fully informed when leaving the office.
Describe the protocols Drew Moffitt used in your cycles at ARMS and their degree of success.
Age 38. For egg retrieval 900iu of Follistim. Lupron instead of birth control due to prior DVT. hCG. Vitamin D (6,000 IU), prenatal, Qoq10, and DHEA (25mg, 3x daily).
For FET, started with progesterone lozenges (200mg, 3x daily) and Endometrum suppositories (100mg, 3x daily). 2 Estradiol patches replaced every other day. Progesterone was only 39.4 day before transfer and he wanted it at 40, so added oral progesterone capsules (200mg, 3x daily).
Describe the costs associated with your care under Drew Moffitt at ARMS.
Insurance paid everything after I met my out of pocket max of $5,000.
Describe Drew Moffitt's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at ARMS.
Dr highly encouraged eSET.

There were a lot of additional costs that aren't covered in the initial financial visit [at ARMS]. It's hard to access how much funding you need if they don't give you a complete picture of what may be needed and the costs associated with those procedures. The person who handles the billing is probably the most unhelpful person in the entire office. If your insurance covers anything, you will need to tell her how to code it to be covered. They forget to tell you that medication is typically covered by insurance after you become pregnant, so make sure you check your insurance and get the pre-authorization sent to the clinic by your pharmacy...They communicate a lot as long as you're asking questions. It can be extremely difficult to get a hold of them. There isn't a lot of communication that starts from their end.

Describe your experience with ARMS.
Nothing in the process is fully explained up front in a manner that is easy to understand. I know it's complicated but pretend that I know nothing because I really didn't. There were a lot of additional costs that aren't covered in the initial financial visit. It's hard to access how much funding you need if they don't give you a complete picture of what may be needed and the costs associated with those procedures. The person who handles the billing is probably the most unhelpful person in the entire office. If your insurance covers anything, you will need to tell her how to code it to be covered. They forget to tell you that medication is typically covered by insurance after you become pregnant, so make sure you check your insurance and get the pre-authorization sent to the clinic by your pharmacy. The appointments usually start more or less on time.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
Sometimes he was spot on, helpful, remembered who I am, thoughtful in his delivery of information. Other times, it's like he didn't even read the chart before coming in to see me. I know that all doctors have lots of patients but I want to be treated like the unique person I am.
Describe your experience with your nurse at ARMS. (Assigned nurse: Was Shana, now Caylyn)
They communicate a lot as long as you're asking questions. It can be extremely difficult to get a hold of them. There isn't a lot of communication that starts from their end.
What specific things went wrong at ARMS?
- Failed to call with results
- Provided conflicting information
- Failed to convey critical information
How was your experience with Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
His bedside manner could use some work and there's an issue with being consistent in how he treats you. Yes, patients on hormones are intense and/or emotional. The IVF process is hard to go through. Just a bit more sympathy would go a long way. Also, we asked a lot of questions and at least half the time were blown off with "that's really not necessary to answer" or something similar. Maybe it's not something to him because he knows but it's our first time, so we have a lot of questions that should be answered, silly or not.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
Nice guy, good at his job, but don't expect any sort of coddling.
Describe the protocols Drew Moffitt used in your cycles at ARMS and their degree of success.
The egg retrieval was done very smoothly. I didn't initially have enough of one medication and then I ended up with too much of a different medication. But the appointments went smoothly and the instructions for doing the injections was easy enough. I produced a lot of eggs but when they reduce by half each step of the process, I didn't end of with many viable embryos.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Drew Moffitt at ARMS.
I believe in total between care & medications, I have spent somewhere near $20,000.00.
Describe Drew Moffitt's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at ARMS.
He prefers single transfer as often as possible. We forced his hand on a double transfer and he will not transfer more than two embryos at a time.

The clinic [ARMS- Phoenix] can schedule you in on short notice which is nice. Also, they work hard to make sure you know all the financial information before you undergo any treatment.... The nurses are so sweet and I don’t feel anxious or embarrassed around them... The clinic gave me a prescription that was conflicting and my date of birth was wrong so when I went to the pharmacy to submit the prescription they declined it and by that time the office was closed, so I had to wait until the next business day to get everything straightened out with the clinic.

Describe your experience with ARMS.
The only thing I would say is to make sure you know what your insurance does and does not cover but honestly this advice goes for any clinic you decide to attend. The clinic can schedule you in on short notice which is nice. Also, they work hard to make sure you know all the financial information before you undergo any treatment.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
He calls me personally to check and schedule appointments rather than the secretary. You can tell he really cares.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.

What specific things went wrong at ARMS?
- Failed to call in prescriptions to pharmacy
How was your experience with Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
He had strong morals and I like that about him. His whole goal to to create families so he is very cafefull when discussing the “is it me or him?”. Rather than thinking that, he says that whatever the problem is... it is something that the couple goes through unitedly. He will help in anyway he can to get schedules to work out.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
Ask lots of questions. And he will answer them.

I’m not sure if the Gilbert location [ARMS] is just understaffed or what it is but it’s not cozy or welcoming at all. It’s a hole in the wall doctor office. Not being comfortable with the doctor you are trusting to build a family is crucial and I didn’t feel this way at this clinic.... I was told my ovarian assessment would take about 48 to 72 hours. I had to call 4 days later for results which they had me schedule an appointment for the following week to review.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
I wasnt a fan of Dr. Moffitt’s demeanor. He kicked back, crossed his legs tapping a pen on his chin. I felt spoken down to.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
I never saw nursing staff (at Gilbert location) except to take my blood. There was one girl at the desk who didn’t sit there all the time so you may arrive and not check in since no one is there.
What specific things went wrong at ARMS?
- Failed to call with results
How was your experience with Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
I was uncomfortable with my consultation. He did some blood work to see my ovarian reserve and I felt he was beating around the bush when giving me results. I felt judged being 25 and unmarried. He was pushy that IVF was my only option (which it wasn’t since I have a beautiful daughter from a clomid ministim provided at another fertility clinic). He also told me to be sure I’m going to marry the guy I’m with before starting treatment which I don’t think a doctor should say.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
Seek a second opinion.

How was your experience with Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
He is a very dry person. He did not seem to speak much to me as a patient except at the consultation. He has a tendency to jump into things without giving you a simplified version. He is good at what he does though and maximized my egg retrival. Towards my egg retrieval day he was extremely friendly and had more of a helpful and excited tone.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Mark Johnson at ARMS?
I seldom saw Dr. Johnson himself: more often I saw one of his nurses, as they performed nearly all ultrasounds and even the IUIs.
When I actually saw Dr. Johnson, he was very kind and knowledgeable and had a good bedside manner.
What specific things went wrong at ARMS?
- Lost appointments
How was your experience with Mark Johnson at ARMS?
Dr. Johnson is kind and compassionate. He is very smart in an absent-minded professor sort of way. I understand that he and his wife also required IVF to conceive, so I believe that gives him a greater understanding of what his patients are going through.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Mark Johnson at ARMS?
He always runs behind schedule, sometimes significantly so, so plan accordingly
Describe the protocols Mark Johnson used in your cycles at ARMS and their degree of success.
We started with Clomid only, then moved to Clomid plus IUI and added Follistim after two cycles.
After six failed treatment cycles, IVF was recommended, but we chose not to move forward with IVF using my eggs because the only explanation Dr. Johnson ever gave for our unexplained infertility was that I must have "old eggs" and because the success rates for women in my age range doing IVF at his clinic were low.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Mark Johnson at ARMS.
I honestly don't remember precisely. I think our insurance paid for a portion of the first three IUIs and then we had to pay out of pocket 100% after that
