The IVF Center (formerly Fertility C.A.R.E.)

He is a very cutting edge doctor but from my experience with him I felt that he is more interested in more complex patients. He seemed more interested in learning the newest technology and procedures and not very interested in the less complex patients. He was also very adamant on doing the least invasive options for as long as possible.

Have all of your questions ready at your consultation appointment.

Since all tests came back with no issues found he recommended doing mutual cycles. He recommended doing 6 natural non medicated cycles with frozen donor sperm before we moved on to try meds. He said since we were healthy there was no need to add in anything additional. None of the 3 IUIs took and we have since changed clinics.

We were self pay for all visits and procedures. The clinic did not take our insurance provider.

Dr. Trolice was great during the initial visits. Once IVF was underway, the communication was lacking and the ball was dropped many times. The slowed embryo growth was not told to us until 30 minutes after we arrived for the embryo transfer. This didn't give us time to really consider our options. We felt rushed and uneasy about what was being presented so matter of factly. Getting directly in touch with Dr. Trolice even after the transfer was near impossible. He never went over the possible causes of our failed transfers with us. After spending thousands of dollars, we were out of money and no further ahead than when we started. After expressing my concerns about his practice, Dr. Trolice never reached out to rectify the situation.

I would advice prospective patients to seek treatment elsewhere. The nurse failed to communicate medication increases on 2 separate occasions which negatively effected our transfer. Communication is a major issue. If you seek treatment here, make it your daily job to call to make sure you have all necessary information. Dr. Trolice would order medication increases and we wouldn't find out until a week after the fact. We would have to call the after hours nurse to get any information because our assigned nurse was very hard to get in touch with.

High dosage on stimulation medications due to delayed response the first few days. Endometrial scraping for our gestational carrier but both were not helpful due to the timing of the scraping in comparison to the actual transfer date. The transfer date was delayed for each transfer, so the money spent for the scrapings were a complete waste.

Dr. Fees, administration fees, lab fees (these fees are in addition to any quote you receive about 4-6k)

The lab does not rate the embryos at all, so you can't make an educated decision on which embryo to transfer. I still don't know how they chose which embryo to transfer each time. Single embryo transfer is recommended for most under 35 years old.

Mark Trolice was very blunt. I feel if he cared more about how important it was for me to take home a live child and the trauma I’ve expirenced undergoing all my miscarriages he would of got to the root cause with me. My last pregnancy got to 15 weeks on my own immune protocol. I lost my baby due to a SCH. I now do not have insurance to cover another transfer to finally bring home a baby.

Advocate for yourself

My protocol was the antagonist protocol, FET because they retrieved 52 eggs from me. We did pgs testing because me and my husband thought the issue was chromosomal.

With insurance I paid close to 8 thousand Dollars with pgs testing

I wanted to do a double embryo transfer but because of my age it wasn’t suggested

Dr. Trolice appears to care but does not take the time to learn about you as a patient and tailoring the treatment to you. He never followed up with me after I had a chemical pregnancy after our last egg transfer when I was devastated. He never offered any other suggestions and simply told us it was the end of the line because we had no embryos left.

Do your own research and go in knowing everything you can on your own and what questions do ask.

My lining was not thickening enough for the second transfer I was given estrogen pills and viagra suppositories.

I only remember that the total cost for IVF was about $20,000.

Dr. Trolice insisted on doing a single transfer the first time even though we wanted to transfer both. He said he wouldn’t do both since it was my first transfer.

I was recommended with flying colors to Dr. Trollice from my literal angel OBGYN. She talked so highly of him and I literally love my OBGYN so I went in with high expectations. I first saw him for an HCG and he was absolutely wonderful that day. He talked about his family and how his wife and him struggled with infertility for 15 years and that's what made him start his own practice to help others. He was so caring during my HCG. When I saw him again for my consultation I had lots of questions and was very visibly anxious. Every time I asked a question he almost like wrote off what I wanted to do? Which I completely understand he is the expert but it came off as he didn't care about my opinion when this is my body and the making of mine and my husbands child. I also was extremely anxious and started to cry and he told me to stop being anxious and that I shouldn't cry. That really caught me off guard when I was previously jut seeing my OBGYN but she was incredible and constantly checking in on me and my anxiety and letting me cry. It really turned me off especially since this journey brings so many emotions.

He will tell you to stay off the internet and not compare yourself to other patients.

I haven't been to a different clinic yet, but I thought they were pretty expensive but they could just be my sticker shock with my first RE clinic.

Dr was friendly but only saw him at consult and while he performed IUI. I wish i would have seen the Dr more often as visits felt inpersonal. Office was warm and inviting and never crowded. Everyone at the office was extemely kind and friendly and very helpful.

Ask alot of questions and dont expect to see the dr for ultrasounds.

It was a IUI cycle with clomid which i produced two follicles. I triggered using Gonal F.

It was comparable to other clinics.
