Fort Worth Fertility

It’s hard to say a weakness because there just isn’t any. The clinics strengths are much more stronger than their weaknesses. Dr. Kaufmann and his staff are so helpful and make the journey of infertility so much easier. It’s nice to know that you have a doctor that you can trust, especially with your future babies.

Dr Kauffman is so down to earth and explains everything on a person basis

His staff has been so helpful and always answers my questions the same day and I never have to leave a voicemail. I am always able to talk with someone and get the answers I need

We had three unsuccessful embryo transfers with another doctor and we went to Dr. Kaufmann for a consultation and he has made us so hopeful for the future. He is making changes to our regimen and is willing to do whatever it takes to get us pregnant. We are so excited to do a transfer with Dr. Kaufmann!

Go to him! He is amazing and so down to earth!! He is understanding and so so helpful!

I will be starting an embryo Transfer with Dr. Kaufmann in the coming weeks. But we will be doing a natural killer cell blood test and a ERA test in the next couple of weeks and then will be doing an embryo Transfer after we get the results of these tests. He believes that finding out these results will help us determine why our last three embryo transfers have been unsuccessful. If these results come back normal than he believes that our embryos are genetically bad since we did not do genetic testing.

I think that his costs were reasonable for fertility treatments. My insurance did not cover anything unfortunately. But dr Kaufman’s office were upfront about the costs from the beginning

Since this will be our 4th embryo Transfer, we will be transferring two embryos to help increase the chance of one of them taking.

Like I said...I live in Midland and they do such a great job accommodating me. When I need to be in Forth Worth they always make sure I have an appointment and take care of me when I am there. It is very clean and has a nice atmosphere. I have had to wait a little bit for a couple of appointments but I also now they take their time with their patients and I appreciate that. Everyone is very respectful and friendly.

Dr. Kaufmann goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and to make sure all your questions are answered all while making you laugh. He cares about his patients and frequently calls to check up on you even after business hours. He remember who I am and my husband and is always asking about our lives...not just the infertility part.

I live in Midland so most of the monitoring I have done is with my clinic here and then I speak with the nurses in Fort Worth over the phone. It makes it a little more difficult but they do a really good job at calling me back and making sure that whatever steps I need to do next are in line as far as meds and appointments go.

I am so thankful for Dr. Kaufmann and the process that we have been going through with him. He is kind and compassionate always making you and your situation important. You are never short a laugh when you see or talk to him. I like that he tells you like it is but does it in a way that makes the good and bad news easy to take. This isn't an easy process to go through so having a doctor who cares about their patients and is very knowledgeable on all aspects is definitely a plus...we scored that with Dr. Kaufmann.

Just always be prepared with questions and some knowledge of the process you may be going through...I always make a list because without fail if I don't I forget what I am going to ask him.

Each cycle has been a little different because I didn't always have a successful reactions with the medications. My first cycle I did fermara with gonal-f and never showed much growth with my follicles. My second cycle I did clomid (3 rounds in a row) and had growth but never reached where they needed to be. Took a round of birth control to reset my system. 3rd round went back to fermara with the gonal-f (up my dosages of gonal-f for this round) had great follicles and then did trigger shot and a failed IUI. Decided that my tubes were the biggest issue and that IVF would be a better fit. He said that we we could do another IUI but our percentage of getting pregnant were very low. We opted to take little break and are now doing our IVF cycle.

For each cycle we spent about $3,000...we had 4 of them...and plan on spending between $15,000-$20,000 during this IVF cycle.

We are just now in the beginning phases of our IVF cycle.

Dr. Kaufmann and staff are helpful and compassionate. They walk you through and explain each step of the process. Dr. Kaufmann has great bedside manner and his nurses are very considerate of your time.

Dr. Kaufmann has an excellent way of helping each patient work toward their goal of starting a family. I always felt that Dr. Kaufmann cared about my husband and me, and we were never just "a number". When I received a negative pregnancy test, he called me at 9 pm to say he was so sorry for the news and that he would do everything possible to help us have a baby. Although I am not pregnant yet, I trust Dr. Kaufmann and his staff.

Nicole was great and compassionate! She was very helpful and answered all of my questions sufficiently.

Dr. Kaufmann has great bedside manner, and I have no doubt that he truly cares about his patients. Before coming to Dr. Kaufmann, I was seeing my OBGYN for fertility treatments, and I only actually saw my doctor at 1 visit out of 8. Dr. Kaufmann was not like this at all, and we saw him at every appointment. We didn't feel rushed to get in and get out, as Dr. Kaufmann took the time to answer all of our questions (which was many!) Dr. Kaufmann speaks from experience, as he and his wife also experienced infertility and has a great way of explaining each step of the process. My husband and I both think the world of him.

It does feel very overwhelming at the first consultation. You are moved to a few different rooms to discuss different options, financing, and also for the exam. However, I felt that each person that I came into contact with at the clinic was friendly and helpful. I would recommend to give yourself plenty of time to attend the first few appointments and make sure to ask questions.

Initially, Dr. Kaufmann was worried that I may have diminished ovarian reserve, so he wanted to be more aggressive with the medications. I started stimulation taking 150 IU Menopur and 300 IU Follistim. After my first lab and ultrasound, Dr. K lowered the dosage of my follistim, as I was responding well to the medications. He continued to lower it to decrease my chances of OHSS. Additionally, he changed my trigger shot from Pregnyl to Lupron, due to overstimulation.

it was around $9700 for and IVF cycle without medication.

I felt adequately informed regarding the number of embryos to transfer and the risks.

Everything is great here. They are well organized and very companionate. The only thing I wish is that children aren’t aloud. It’s heart wrenching for the people like us that haven’t got that miracle yet.

I felt like he treated us like a human. He was very companionate and didn’t make us feel like we were another dollar sign to him.

Ashley was amazing! She answered all the questions I had when I would forget to ask while at the office. When we had our follow up after our failed cycle, she came in the room and gave us both a hug and wished us the best. Since then I’ve applied for IVF grants and she’s help me out with getting the necessary paperwork completed.

Dr. K is amazing! He emphasized with us because of our last experience with the last doctor we used. He told us what the last doctor never did. We felt like he understood our situation because he and his wife went through IVF as well. We lived 3 hours away and he tried to accommodate us as much as he could. When our pregnancy test came back negative, he personally called us,while he was on vacation, to check on us. I’ve also inquired about during a different procedure since our failed pregnancy test and he personally called me and gave me his personal insite on it. We felt like he was honest with us and if we ever can afford another cycle we will go back to him.

Ask him the hard questions that no one wants to really know the answer to because he’ll give it to you straight. He doesn’t want patients to waste their time and money if it isn’t going to work for them.

I don’t remember exactly everything but I know I used Gonal-F, Menopur, ganirelix, HCG trigger, progesterone for 11-12 days. Then retrieved my eggs. We were supposed to transfer on day 5 but my embryos weren’t growing like they should and we waited to transfered 2 embryos on day 6. We had no embryos left to freeze, which we figured out that it’s due to the quality of my husbands sperm. 2 weeks after that I didn’t a blood test and it came back negative.

$9800

He wanted to transfer 2 embryos to increase our chances of getting pregnant.

Small clinic. They do see a lot of patients and at times run behind schedule. I like to think it is because they are being thorough with the patient they are seeing at that time. No surprise billing. Lab work done onsite often with same day results. Everyone is super nice.

Nurses and Dr Kaufmann referred to me by name. Asked about my family. Remembered personal details.

Dr Kaufmann always took time to answer all of my questions. Very witty. He joked often with me and my husband to relieve tension. I will definitely miss him and his staff. Very sensitive to me after I had a chemical pregnancy before I started treatments but after my initial consult.

Have a list of questions when you go to see him so that everything gets covered.

I had a baseline ultrasound on day 3. Took 100mg Clomid days 3-7, 25mg of gonal f days 5-9. Had an ultrasound and blood work day 10. IUI day 13. 200mg prometrium from day 15 to 10 weeks of pregnancy. Blood work (beta hcg) day 27, repeat for beta 29, repeat beta 1 week. Ultrasound after 2 weeks ( almost 8 weeks) ultrasound at 10 weeks and released to my obgyn. Ob was kept informed after the first positive hcg. Nurse called with all blood work. Dr Kaufmann also called around 7pm after hours the day of my first positive hcg to congratulate me, tell me the next steps, and answer questions.

IUI was 975. Medication total was about 500. (Clomid, hcg trigger shot, progesterone, gonal f)(gonal f and hcg were called in to a mail order pharmacy and overnighted for Saturday delivery, much cheaper than trying to purchase locally.) Bloodwork done in office around 15 each time. Ultrasounds were about 125. Initial consult was 125.

Overall it is a perfect clinic with well rounded staff and doctor. The only downfall is the price but you can’t really put a price on a dream of a family so it was worth every penny. For being a large clinic they are easy to get into and wait times are fairly short.

They always spoke to me by my name, complimented us, were extremely enthusiastic, said time and time again that we WILL have a baby, and made us feel so welcomed and remembered!

They were all kind and very accommodating!

He was extremely caring, funny, informative, and real down to earth. He always made my husband and I feel comfortable and confident! He’s a real stand up guy with good jokes. He and his wife actually had to IVF to conceive so he truly knows first hand the struggle that comes along with infertility.

Go now. Don’t wait or hesitate! It was worth every penny!

We started with a diagnostic ultrasound. Once everything was clear my husband then did a SA and was determined he’s actually above average. I then went in for an HSG which was normal as well. He then met with us both and gave us the diagnosis of unexplained infertility. He said our best option would be IUI and after 3 rounds if that didn’t work we would look at more options. For the IUI I was give medication to help me ovulate then we called in for a sonogram and was told when to do my trigger shot. The trigger shot was done the night before my first IUI and then my husband went in two hours pre IUI to leave his sample. They then did a sperm wash and the IUI was done with a good count of healthy sperm. Then we were on the two week wait and went in for blood work which came back negative and I started my mental cycle the next day. My second IUI was the same except my trigger shot was two days before the procedure and when I went in for blood work 2 weeks post IUI it was positive. They repeated it 72 hours later and then again 72 hours after that. After the last blood draw we scheduled an ultrasound and I was 7 weeks and 1 day along with one healthy little baby. He then released me to go to my OB/GYN since I lived 2 hours away. Usually he sees you until your second trimester.

For consultation with sonogram was around $300. HSG was $400. IUI $1200. Medications $100. Blood work $300. Sonograms $150.

The clinic is very nice and clean. You are in and out super quick if you are just there for lab work.

The staff was generally very personable, however there were times that I felt super rushed during my visits. There was also an instance in which Dr. Kaufmann instructed me to do timed intercourse when we had already decided to do IUI that cycle. I'm not sure if he got me mixed up with another patient or if he just forgot what our plan was.

The nursing staff was not the most friendly group and I had a different nurse several times.

Dr. Kaufmann is an extremely nice doctor and has excellent bedside manner. However, we tried 3 IUI's and then he recommended IVF. I have several large fibroids and I kept asking him if we needed to take care of them and he just kept saying that he didn't think they were affecting anything. I wanted to get a second opinion because I just felt like the fibroids were causing my infertility. I saw a different RE and it was decided in the first appointment that the fibroids could absolutely be affecting my fertility and taking all the blood supply from my uterus. I had a mini-laparotomy last week and will be resuming the TTC journey in about a month! So overall, he is nice, I'm just not sure he considers all options before recommending IVF.

Be your own advocate. Ask questions and do your own research!

I did 3 IUI's. All with clomid, trigger shot about 2 days before the insemination.

Approximately $1200 per IUI, not including the medications or trigger shots.

Very clean and clinical. The consultation room was filled with pictures and birth announcements of success stories, can be a little intimidating at first but gives you hope, we never saw this room again until we brought our twins back in to show the staff. The room for my husband had a recliner, sink, videos and magazines, not sure what I expected from this room but found it interesting nevertheless. The room used for our IUI was like all the others, but I remember after the procedure the staff left the room to me and my husband and turned down the lights and had soft music on. I know as clinical as that room was, it also was special and a little emotional/romantic in that moment and left me with a sweet memory. The most distracting thing was the phlebotomist at that time was pregnant and I was so emotional going through this process I just didn't like having a pregnant person drawing my blood because she was in the state I wanted so desperately to be in.

From the first consultation he From the first consultation he was warm, positive and empathetic. He told us that it wasn’t a matter of “if” just “when” we’d get pregnant. He shared his own family struggles with fertility and provided us with statistics of success rates along with laying out our potential path or paths to becoming parents. My husband and I left the first meeting confident that we were in the right hands with a healthy dose of witty banter to liven up the mood and ease our nerves.

There isn't a thing I'd change about our experience with him. Each time he saw me he didn't have look at my chart to remember me and my story, maybe he did that before walking through the door, but I was never the wiser.

Have faith in the process and voice your concerns because he will listen to you. Have a good sense of humor, he can joke with the best but that doesn't take away from his professionalism nor his ability to understand when to be serious. I enjoy a warm bedside manner and he definitely delivered. Be compliant with his instructions to ensure optimal outcomes.

I was a patient with PCOS, hyper/hypo thyroidism, type 2 diabetic and overweight. We did one round of testing for blocked fallopian tubes and my husband had to provide a sample for count analysis it was determined that the infertility was my issue as suspected. I was already on metformin when I started with Dr. Kaufmann and for my first cycle we did a round of Clomid which I did not respond to as he wanted based on my follicle growth. I thought I'd have to wait a month for the next cycle but he just piggy-backed the next treatment on top. He ordered a round of injectables that were delivered to my door via the mail to self-administer for a week. I had follow-up visits to track the follicles during the week then he scheduled a trigger shot to release eggs and a coordinated IUI. After the IUI, I was put on progestrone for the first trimester. I returned to the office for scheduled bloodwork 2 weeks later and my hgh ranges came back positive in the pregnancy for multiples range. I was released from the his care after 10 or so weeks to my OBGYN and Perimaternal specialists. 37 weeks and 4 days after my IUI we welcomed full term boy/girl twins.

Less than $2000 including medication. Worked with my insurance at the time and most was covered under insurance.

One strength at Dr. K’s office is that he is always very friendly and positive. He gets along very well with my husband, which is always a plus. He will definitely make you laugh even when the situation is not the best. He also knows how to be real with you without being harsh. A weakness would be that the office does not provide you with lab results other than a verbal phone call. If you want your results I would suggest asking for them. I saw many other women going through infertility know so much about their labs and I felt so lost when it came to that.

Dr. Kaufmann understands the struggle of infertility and always has a positive outlook even when I felt like there would be no hope.

Dr. Kaufmann is very thorough and wants the best for his patients. While I have had many setbacks, he always makes sure that we are doing what is best, even if that means waiting. Right when I went in for my consultation he let me know that he will find out what was going on and would create an action plan. When my results came in that my AMH was low (.55) at the age of 28 I was devastated. When I met with him to go over the results he gave me much comfort and was confident that even with low amh he would be able to help my husband conceive. While o have not been able to get the clear to go on our first IUI due to cysts and an irregular cycle I feel confident that Dr. Kaufmann will help us get our 6 years of waiting miracle.

The clinic seemed to be opened all the time! They always called back in great timing and was ran very efficient! Not a lot of wait time. People were friendly and helpful. They always were able to schedule me at times that worked for me.

He really cared about us. He made sure he did everything he could to make things as perfect as he could. He was real and very honest.

She always responded quickly and was very helpful with questions.

He was very honest and precise. He went through all the steps necessary to find the best possible treatment that was good for me. He gave us all of our options and was great at every appointment. He was real and down to earth.

He will be honest but yet will give you lots of options that works for you. He will not give up on you!

We started out with basic meds and he was very aggressive with them at the same time. We did have to back off because I was overstimulating. I had my egg retrieval and everything went well. They then proceeded and we were able to freeze 28 embryos. I then waited one month and then began my next stage. My body wasn’t doing what it was supposed to do we revamped my meds and waited another month before I started again. My body was adjusting well and I was able to transfer one embryo. We went through genetic testing as well and we ended up at transfer time having 2 healthy embryos after they were unfrozen.

The costs depended on what you needed.

We ended up doing one embryo because my uterus was in a moon shape.

This clinic is busy. I don’t feel like the staff has capacity to get to know the patients but they are kind. Some days I had to call in at the end of the day to get my blood work results. I really liked the nurse who did the blood draws and always felt well cared for by them.

Dr. K was our biggest advocate and cheerleader. I never felt rushed or stupid with any of my questions.

Dr. Kaufmann was busy. He has a lot of patients. But l rarely had to wait (other than the initial consultation.) He was always the one to do my ultrasounds and did both of my D&C’s. I never felt rushed with him and always felt cared for as a patient. He was our biggest cheerleader and believed that we would have our miracle baby.

He really cares.

Prior to pregnancy I was started on baby aspirin. Once pregnant I began progesterone suppositories, folguard, and lovenox injections. I was monitored very closely, coming into the office every few days for HCG levels and weekly to bi-weekly for ultrasounds, depending on my preference or schedule. Dr. K allowed me to choose what schedule gave me the most peace of mind. When I lost babies he comforted me and was always available for my scheduled D&C surgeries.

Doctor’s visit copay for insurance. We had to pay part of the initial genetic consultation. About $500.

The protesters aren’t really something they can help I guess but it is very uncomfortable. I would suggest they give people a heads up if they have patients coming in. Maybe a call letting them know the protesters are there. They were there quit a few times at my appts

During the cycle he was fantastic. After we got our negative results he never called or returned by calls after each cycle

I knew a nurse through a mutual friend so I was always greeted and treated fantastic not sure if that’s why but I felt like they all did such a great job. There were always protesters outside the clinic for some reason “science is against gods plan” signs and they always made sure to keep the blinds closed to make sure we couldn’t see them and vice versa

He was very comforting and made me feel at ease. Just very upset over the lack of communication after the treatments were done. I feel like because it didn’t work I was just tossed to the side and he was on to the next patient which makes me very hesitate to go back again.

Be comfortable with asking questions

We did 2 cycles of iui with 50 mg clomid. My eggs were monitored by sonogram throughout the cycles. We uses a trigger shot on both cycles as well to release my eggs. I had 4-5 eggs each cycle

Each iui treatment cost us around $1800-2,300

It’s a small lobby so if you have other kids I would not recommend bringing them. The staff was very friendly and professional. They kept chatter to a minimum for you privacy. The staff would lift you up and give you a positive vibe which is hard to maintain when your dealing with infertility.

Dr. Kauffman was very professional and would sit with you and pull out pictures to show exactly what was going on.

They were great and would answer along with calling back promptly if I had any questions or concerns.

De. Kaufmann was very professional and has a good atmosphere. He expressed his concerns clearly. I would go back to see him again. He is very knowledgeable in the field of fertility. He is prompt in seeing his patients and considerate of time. He also would drive to Abilene to see longer distance patients. Which helped me since I’m from San Angelo.

It’s expensive but I’m sure worth it with being in his care.

Dr. Kaufmann meet with us and explained what was going on. It started with my husband having a low sperm count but assured us the could get a good concentrated amount for the IUI I did shots in the beginning of the cycle with sonos to see how many follicles I had then on day 13 trigger shot next day went in and had the insemination done then proceeded wit progesterone the rest of the cycle. We did not get pregnant but only could afford one cycle at the time. But all went well for what it was.

The cost of my round of IUI was 1300.00 with medication.

I would describe the clinic as a good place quiet wait time is around 10-15 min nurse dr and everyone else in the clinic was nice and understanding what I like the most that I went the second time and I could take a my 2 years old

He talk to us nicely and dint lie about our problem I also feel confident and positive everytime I spoke with him I really like the way he explained everything

Nurse was really good at explaining everything help us a lot too

In our experience Dr. Kaufmann was a really good physician. He understood us and our difficult situation, and we were informed upfront in the beginning why we were not able to conceive. Every time We came in for an appointment he was always there for us. He was responsible for the beautiful son I have today. I can not think of a single thing I would consider a weakness of Dr. Kaufmann.

I would tell a prospective patient they can put their hopes and dreams in Dr. Kaufmann’s hands and trust him to try his best to make them come true.

I cannot remember very good but Ik we did birth control pill estrance Follistim and crinone got pregnant the first time

Cost was around 12k that incluiding icis ultrasound lab work med not including

the only thing I have ever noticed and seemed to be alarmed by is the fact that there seems to be a rotating door of staff members. Other than that I have always been treated with the best care.

Dr. Kaufman is always extremely candid yet warm and encouraging at the same time.

Being a nurse in a fertility clinic working with extremely hormonal patients has got to be really tough- yet most of the time the staff is extremely helpful and understanding.

Dr. Kaufmann isn't like anything I ever expected from a fertility doctor. The fact that he personally calls you late in the evenings after any failed treatment means the world to me, these aren't always short phone calls either. Although I am still going through this process, I have no doubt that Dr. Kaufmann is who I want to be treating me during this time.

From what I have learned during the last 3 years - Dr. Kaufmann does everything in an appropriate manner for each patient. I've never felt like anything was out of protocol or an abnormal strategy.

Dr. Kaufmann and the staff have never had a strong opinion on 1 vs 2. This has always been our choice.

Every employee was professional that I came into contact with in the clinic. The clinic was very clean, and had a calm peaceful environment... unless other patients chose to bring there unruly toddlers!

We were always greeted with a personal greeting each time we went to the clinic, regardless how busy they were

The nurse always had the answer's to questions that we had once we left the clinic. If she was unavailable to take a phone call when I called, she was very prompt in calling back

Dr. Kaufman is extremely personable, and made sure we understood what was going on. No appointment was ever rushed, he took all the necessary time to answer all questions, and discuss everything. He and his wife dealt with fertility issues, so I feel like he could relate with all the emotions

He is a straight shooter, who is extremely compassionate.

We tried ovulation injections, along with several unsuccessful cycles of iui. Out next step needs to be IVF

Over the time we have spent at the clinic we have spent between $10-12k

They are great. As soon as they knew Barbara wasn’t doing her job to their standards, she was no longer there. Everyone at the clinic is great and especially Dr. K and his wife Leesa. They go above and beyond. I would definitely recommend Fort Worth Fertility.

Every beta that was negative our doctor would call us as late as 8pm to see if we were ok. His wife has personally called and talked to me. They go above and beyond!

Barbara was my nurse for iui. She is no longer there. All other nurses are great!

Dr. K has been doing this long enough to know what procedures don’t result in pregnancy, which really helped us save time. We are ultimately moving to IVF and we wouldn’t want to do it with any other doctor.

Stay patient this is a long journey

2 failed IUI’s and 2 canceled IUI’s- $5-6K Now IVF w PGT- $20,000

We haven’t got there yet

The office staff came across as unorganized and overworked often times. Don't expect anyone to remember your name or recognize you even after repeated visits.

It often felt like more of a business transaction than a relationship.

There was a lot of change over during a year of being there. They designate certain nurses to certain types of treatment which is helpful.

I often felt like a number when I was being seen. He didn't remember our names either. I often had to remind him of things that were significant and have had several friends say the same about him. He's a kind man with compassion though.

Be sure to always ask questions. No question is a dumb question.

He concluded there was no concrete reason for us not being able to conceive on our own or with our three IUIs. He always called after the results came in and made sure our questions were answered.

Thankfully our insurance covered most of our IUI expenses once our deductible was met.

Dr. Kaufmann was always so comforting and helpful. I felt as though he truly cared about us and starting our family. Dr. Kaufmann was honest, yet very optimistic at the same time. He tried to help us in any way that he could and always said how much he appreciated us entrusting him to help us.

I felt so comfortable seeing Dr. Kaufmann and was so thankful that he was there for every appointment. Before being referred to him, I saw my OB for Clomid cycles and was able to see her face-to-face for only 2 out of my 6 appointments. Dr. Kaufmann was there at each appointment and always made a point to thank us and explain each step in detail.

Dr. Kaufmann has great bed-side manner and will always try to lighten the mood, but he also knows when to be serious and honest. God truly blessed him with a personality to help others in need.

The clinic and staff is very personable. It can take a bit of time to get your initial appointment, but the wait is worth it.

Both the staff and Dr. Kaufman were always very available to me and knew every detail of what was going on. Dr. Kaufman would be available at every appointment and even gave out his personal cell number.

Ashley was available to me at all times by email or the phone. She made sure all questions were answered and that medication refills were filled ASAP. She was also very compassionate and got to know me and showed me she had care and concern for her patients.

Dr. Kaufman had great bedside manner and was very honest with expectations. He made sure that I understood everything and gave me time to ask questions and voice concerns. He also made sure we understood all options and was not pushy in any way.

Come prepared with questions because he will give you plenty of time to go over all questions and concerns.

$15,000

Dr Kaufman is very personable. He sees a lot of patients but always remembers details about your life and asks how things are going.

They are all friendly but sometimes I felt that like they don't explain instructions fully and it feels rushed at times

Dr Kaufmann is very personable and outgoing. He makes you feel comfortable and makes you feel confident in the treatment course. I was really nervous the first appointment but he laid out all the information and made it seem less scary.

I wish I would have brought a notebook to write information down. It can be overwhelming at first and you sometimes forget details.

Kim was amazing, she even answered my question via email after hours.

He is awesome! Dr. Kauffman is wonderful! He has a fabulous bedside manner. He like to tell silly jokes to relax his patients, but he can also reassure you.

Don't be afraid to ask anything at all. He has been through I feel twice with his wife, so is very compassionate.
