Dr. Shep speaks to you like a human, makes connections through common interests. He also provides other alternatives to the expensive treatment we are seeking. But once we made it clear we are going to continue on the set path, his was behind us. He was candid about statistics and what chances he thinks we have. He also provides office hours in another city closer to us, will do follow ups via Skype, which is nice.
The main clinic [for First Urology] is located 3 hours from us but we visited the satellite clinic which was only an hour. This once a month location was in an old building that had been semi-updated on the inside. It was convenient to park and find and really no big deal to be there for an hour. The main clinic has excellent communication and is very easy to call and email with.

Dr. Shep is an easy going doctor that tells you everything straight. He covered all of our questions, did not waste our time, gave us real statistics, and also gave us lots of hope. He has been the most helpful and hopeful doctor we have encountered.
Describe the protocols Christopher G. Schrepferman used in your cycles at First Urology and their degree of success.
My husband was put on clomid 50 mg a day to up his testosterone. He will be undergoing a Micro TSEE procedure in July to hopefully correct the male infertility factor.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nurses, like Dr. Shep, are down to earth and speak to you like a human. The nurses communicate very easily over email which is nice for full time working people. They made my husband feel at ease while at the clinic and joked with him.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Christopher G. Schrepferman at First Urology.
We had to pay a deposit up front of $100 and have not received a bill for any other services from the initial meeting. We have to pay out of pocket for all the surgery costs which will be upwards of $7200, but worth it!

He [Dr. Schrepferman] went over EVERY minute detail of our fertility history and immediately had ideas and courses of action for treatment and we have gone from there. He is very thorough and makes sure that my husband and I know exactly what’s he’s talking about. He lays everything out for us in a strategic manner. He keeps ups updated and in the loop on bloodwork results and different courses of treatment and holistic pathways to go as well.
This clinics strengths [First Urology] would be that they have multiple clinics so whichever one is closet to us they recommend and make sure every detail of your chart is secured and sent where it needs to be. I honestly have not found any weaknesses. They are really busy as they serve the Louisville area but that’s to be expected.... Dr.Shrepferman has a specific nursing team for the fertility side of his practice and all the women are really sweet.

How was your experience with Christopher G. Schrepferman at First Urology?
As a patient, he comes in the room with a smile and a firm hand shake. He went over EVERY minute detail of our fertility history and immediately had ideas and courses of action for treatment and we have gone from there. He is very thorough and makes sure that my husband and I know exactly what’s he’s talking about. He lays everything out for us in a strategic manner. He keeps ups updated and in the loop on bloodwork results and different courses of treatment and holistic pathways to go as well. You can tell he very patient oriented compared to some physician who treat you like a number. Could not recommend anyone better in this area.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Christopher G. Schrepferman at First Urology?
Go into your appointment with him with an open mind and open heart. He’s a very warm person, not cold or standoffish. Have a list of questions and he will most certainly answer every one of them even if you feel like it’s a dumb question. Do not be nervous at all.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Christopher G. Schrepferman at First Urology?
My husband and I felt like humans while seeing Dr.Shrep. He was very attentive, his bedside manner is phenomenal. And we could tell that he is really determined to see us have children. He has gone through every hoop and challenge to get us where we are now and that is us moving towards ivf or iui.
Describe the protocols Christopher G. Schrepferman used in your cycles at First Urology and their degree of success.
Our first line of treatment was a supplement to get my husbands sperm count up naturally. Our next line/course of treatment was blood work and sending me to another physician who focused on female infertility (he focuses on male infertility) then he sent us to genetics as well to test his chromosomes while my fertility specialist did the same for me. I have a history of 9 miscarriages, 4 with my husband. And Dr.Shrepferman wanted cover every basis possible to try to uncover and explain these losses. We have now seen genetics and my fertility specialist and my husband is on clomid and I am regulating my cycles due to pcos and we’re are discussing ivf in the near future.
Describe your experience with your nurse at First Urology.
Dr.Shrepferman has a specific nursing team for the fertility side of his practice and all the women are really sweet. Very helpful. And make sure to keep up to date with us.

The blood work and testing phase was pretty straight forward. Some things our insurance covers and some didn’t and we’ve made arrangements to cover them.

This doctor [Dr. Schrepferman] was very open and honest with us. As a nurse I needed the facts but also someone with a hopeful attitude! His bedside manner was very approachable!... My husband and I are being treated for male factory infertility. My husband is currently being treated with an oral medication to improve testosterone levels. We will have repeat labs in a few weeks in hopes of moving forward with a sperm retrieval procedure (TESE) with good results we can move on to IVF!!!
Well oranginized, one time, clean. We felt welcomed and comfortable. Very busy office [First Urology] out in the lobby but again with very little wait time. We never felt rushed. We would recommend this office highly!!... Our insurance was billed for our co-pay. They do require if not listed on your insurance card to pay up front 100.00 fee for consult. Labs etc billed to insurance first. Our upcoming procedure for my husband will be around 5900.00
