Georgia Center for Reproductive Medicine

Everyone in this clinic knows how important all these procedures are and definitely respond rapidly with all results or to answer any questions. The office is very high volume, yet we have never had to wait for long periods or had any scheduling issues. Some of the team can be a bit abrasive because they deal with this sensitive topic daily. But I have felt welcomed and comforted by the team for the most part.

I felt like I was treated as a human being. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Also very sympathetic during our times of loss or failed treatment.

We love the nurses at Dr Blohms office. They are super friendly and always return our calls in a timely manner. They do their best to answer all questions we have and if they can’t they take the time to consult dr blohm and get back to us with an answer.

Dr Blohm is a very honest doctor. While he does not sugar coat anything, I appreciate his honest opinion. He is always very professional and prompt. He always showed sympathy during our times of loss or failed treatment, but then prepared us for the next course of action.

Go to him for his professional opinion and abundance of knowledge, not expecting him to sugarcoat things for you.

I did follistim injections everyday for about two weeks, monitoring my follicles via ultrasound every 2-3 days. Once they reached 18+ I took pregnyl trigger shot to release them. I then went to the office for IUI two days in a row. I then took a booster pregnyl shot a week later. Then waited another week to test. We did this procedure three times. First one resulted in a chemical pregnancy and I had to get a methotrexate shot to cause a miscarriage because I didn’t miscarry on my own. The second round resulted in a ectopic pregnancy which had to be removed with surgery, but he was able to save my tube. The third round failed completely. I had too many follicles this round and had to have some of them aspirated, yet it still did not work. Between rounds 2 and 3 I had and HSG which showed both of my tubes were clear. We are now encouraged to do ivf but can not afford it.

(All prices are round about estimates). Each ultrasound was $125. Lab work was $75. Medications for each iui were $1500. Dr Blohm tried to work with us and performed all surgeries at the hospital I work at instead of the one his office is at to help with cost.

The office is very clean. When you call you are directly put through to a person not an automated answering service. I have seen Dr.Blohm at every procedure that I have had done including my HSG. The only weaknesses that I would say is that Dr.Blohm can be a little blunt, but you know this about him going up front.

He takes his time with you and explains procedures. He does speak a little faster than some doctors and is very blunt. He is not one to hold your hand which is fine with me.

The nursing staff at Dr.Blohm's office are awesome. They are kind and compassionate. They will answer any questions that you may have.

Everyone in the clinic is great and caring. They do not take on more patients than they can handle at a time and truly care about the questions that you ask. When you call you, a person answers the line automatically. There is not automated system that you have to be annoyed with which speaks volumes in my back.

He is blunt, but he has great outcomes. Be fully prepared when you go to a consultation with him (take charts, Semen Analysis) know when the last day of your period of was, and how long your cycle is. These are things that will help your consultation run smoothly.

Started with one IUI due to Male Factor Infertility, (I also have some insulin resistance which I am on Metformin for). I took 50mg of Clomid for days 3-7 of my cycle, I went in for Vaginal Ultra Sounds starting on day 12. I had a total of three scans, and we did the IUI on cycle day 18. The round was unsuccessful and now we have upped my Clomid dosage to 100mg and are repeating the same process.

The clinic is within a hospital, is has a few ultrasound rooms each with a private bathroom for you. The office is always clean and organized with wonderful pictures of success stories his clients bring in for him. They have a small lab room for simple blood draws and a comfortable office to meet with the doctor which boasts his many academic achievements. They have success rates publicly posted and its always timely service. The main lab used is downstairs in the hospital as well as where one would go for an HSG and all operative procedures are done in the outpatient portion of the same hospital. Everything is nicely located together.

Dr. Blohm is a very straight to the point reproductive endocrinologist. Which I love he leaves nothing to your imagination. He always ensures that every detail of what he is going to do during a procedure is thuroughly explained using whatever means neccesary And is always willing without hesitation to take extra time to answer any extra questions. After every procedure I am always given pictures of exactly what inside my body he was looking at or had removed. He is one of the most brilliant doctors I have ever met. He does not rush you as a patient even though hundreds of couples walk through his door each day and he pushes for each person. My husband and myself are service members, getting through an IVF cycle can be very difficult with us both being deplorable at any time. Dr. Blohm has advocated for us and helped us to get where we currently are in treatment always ensuring what will give us the results we all want but making us a priority.

The nursing staff is always friendly and happy to see you. With all the patients they have they always remember us by name even if just passing us in the hospital. They are informative and truly fight for their patients. They are always doing everything they can to make this a comfortable process. The lovely women who coordinates all the calendar events is never hesitant to call and give you answers to any question you may have. They check on you after procedures and make sure that your doing great. I have never met a kinder group with such excellent bedside manner.

Dr. Blohm has thus far provided a wonderful experience throughout our IVF journey. I came into him in November 2017 desperate to create a family with my husband. Both being service members and having had recently returned from Iraq we were eager to get started. Dr. Blohm took the time to go over my medical history with fertility, I had undergone an HSG, blood work and an ultrasound at my local military hospital. I let him know up front I was diagnosed with a bicornurate uterus and explained to him that I have an issue with reacurring miscarriages, without skipping a beat he didn’t even looks at the information I brought from previous doctors and said they are wrong and took me right off to get an ultrasound. Sure enough all these years I have had a full septate uterus and septate cervix. I have had multiple abdominal surgeries and none of them could diagnose me properly, it took him just listening to me to figure out my issue. I also explained I have extreme menstrual pain and previous surgeons noted that I have scar tissue fusing my organs together. He was disgusted that any doctor would leave me this way and not repair me. We got word that we were yet again deploying and we let him know so that he could be informed of our time crunch, he had me in surgery 2 days later, fit me in with an already full day of surgery for him just so I could be taken care of promptly given our situation without skipping a beat. He performed a hysteroscopy to remove the septate and did and endoscopy to check on everything out he feared others may have missed. At my post operative appointment he showed me images of the removed septate and then all my questions of my bodily pain had been answered, I was suffering from stage 3 endodemetriosis, I had pelvic adhesive disease caused by it and a polyp. He removed all of it in exception of the endodemetriosis that encompasses 40% of my ovaries because we plan on using my eggs when we make it to transfer. He always wait two full menstual cycles between these surgeries and IVF start date we would have began in February but when we went back for an HSG in January he found a tiny nun of septum left and recommended he remove it. But ultimately he left all these decisions to us, which I loved that he was always very honest about his opinion and why he would do something a certain way but ultimately give us the end decision making. I just received my new batch of injectibles for our upcoming IVF cycle, we start injections in April and we are thrilled. I will be moving out of state after this pregnancy and when we decide to have another I will travel states just to continue care with Dr. Blohm. I have never met another doctor who cared for his patients success and happiness then him.

One piece of advice I would give someone is take his advice and be open minded he is an extremely intelligent man and he is very blunt about the facts but know that he is an excellent doctor and will take care of you.

Due to our surgical setbacks I will just be starting this round of injectibles next month. However my clinic was kind enough to order our meds early and through a different pharmacy then they usually use to try and see if they can get the price for their military clientele down. I will be using what they referred to as the long Lupron protocol. I will be using BCP which I start this morning, a 2 week Lupron kit, doxycycline, progesterone in oil, HCG trigger, menopur 10 vials and gonal F 5 vials. He expects to see good results with me as he estimated that my egg reserve was well stocked.

Dr blohm for our procedure costs include $7500 for the overall process, includes labs, ultrasound, retrieval, transfer. Since we need ICSI it’s an additional $1000. He intimates his patients for $3500 in meds however with their efforts they found me a pharmacy that got my meds down to $2075. They will help save you money the best they can. Once you are on the IVF schedule you must pay a $1000 deposit. They give you a cost sheet which breaks everything down when you schedule IVF.

Given my age, physique and that we are using ICSI my doctor recommended we transfer one embryo however he will allow us to elect for 2 embryos and is informative of the risks of a multiples pregnancy. They base these suggestions of the person themselves, the egg quality and using ICSI or not and age of the women. They do not transfer more then two as they are not a clinic that will create the next octomom itentinally. He is known in the online IVF chat world as the twin maker.

Some of the receptionist could use better phone manners. There were times where I felt that receptionist was rude. And you just never know what is going on in someone's life so it is always important to be kind. Especially working in an office where couples are being seen for infertility The clinic in its self works hard, early, late, through lunch, and on holidays. You just don't get that kind of treatment anywhere.

It isn't every day that a doctor will personally speak with you on the phone let alone a specialist. Definitely made me feel like he was just as invested as we were/are

Whitney is wonderful and seems as if she is the right hand to all the behind the scenes and does a great job!

Dr.Blohm was referred to me as rough around the edges. As a health care worker myself I nor my husband ever felt this way. Dr.Blohm was very informative, answered any and all questions we may have had, and was not a what I like to call dilly dally around kind of doctor, and I love that

To be open, upfront, and honest. And to trust the process

Our first round of ivf we did a ease into the doses of injectables. And we unfortunately did not have a successful pregnancy. Dr.Blohm was persistent, compassionate, and extremely understanding when we had to appease our insurance company and try someone else before they would pay for another visit with him.

Our insurance company only paid for our consultation, office visits, initsl lab work, and ultrasounds. Anything else was solely out of pocket expenses paid by us

Strengths: The nurses are compassionte. Weaknesses: Dr. Blohm's attitude and bedside manner are the pits. Do your own research because your not going to get support from him.

Mainly, because of his bedside manner. He was way too blunt and seemed more concerned with the outcome than me as a person. Yes I realize the outcome is important, but the time, money, and how I was treated during these procedures is important too.

The saving grace for Dr. Blohm's practice is his nurses. They were wonderful.

He kept telling me "you were dealt a bad hand of cards " at every visit. It was frustrating because I know my problem, I need him to help me fix it or give me an answer in a compassionate way to help me. I was unhappy with his annoyed bedside manner and his gruffness. I did nothing wrong. I felt as though I was in the military, with his direct dry answers. I not in the military and I felt like a new recruit. I am woman who has a medical condition and I expect a level of concern and comfort for my well-being. After the failure of our IVF process, he came to deliver the news while I was lying on the bed, by myself. My husband was in the waiting area and he gave me the news still recovering. I felt like I was rushed and he should have been more compassionte in his delivery. I'm a big girl and can take almost anything, but to tell me my eggs are poor and there's probably no chance I'll ever get pregnant was hard. The experience with him was quite gruelling. I will not going back to him even though he supposedly is the best here in Savannah. Not again!

Be prepared to have a thick skin.

He had given me quite the dose of drugs. Follostim each day Menopur that started after the follicles were stimulated Ganarellix Progesterone injections Doxycycline - which made me sick and he told that was normal and to keep taking it... I felt as though I was having an allergic reaction. When I asked for pain meds, because I had just had surgery, he made it sound like I shouldn't be in pain and I was just asking for drugs. I didn't ask him for a narcotic, he just assumed I wanted one. I wanted the pain to go away. I was in pain, I wanted him to tell me what to do.

I don't remember. My insurance covered the IVF-about half of the expenses. I know the meds were expensive.

He's very good at what he does but understand he does not have the latest technology in terms of testing and embryology lab. He's kind of old school, but does get babies. Prepare yourself for abruptness and his frankness.

Dr. Blown is there to get you pregnant, yes. He lives and breathes fertility. However some follicle checks he wouldn't even speak to me. Being completely hormonal didn't help but at least say good morning.

Nurses keep this place going. Had it not been Whitney and Dr. Blohm's wife, Caroline, I would have had a mental breakdown.

Dr. Blohm has had success with my friends, but we did not. I didn't even see him on my egg retrieval day but he must have seen me! We ended up with a second trimester loss. I went for reconsult and he didn't even seem to care.

Don't expect any bedside manner. Expect tough love. At age 33, he told me my eggs were getting old, even though we were male factor. Prepare your heart to take a beating from his abruptness. Some of my friends like his frankness. I don't think it was for me.

We use lupron and hcg trigger. Normal protocol. I produced 23 embryos and 6 blasts. But no blasts made a baby. Very sad. His strategies seem very textbook. I don't think he's very outside of the box.

$11,000 for IVF plus drugs $1800 FET

He's against eSET. I fought for two eSET and he mocked me both times. Told me I would have already had a baby had I listened to him. I was under 35, with one successful eSET already.

Clinic is clean, easy to get to, and has a great set up. The room the guy goes in could stand to be a bit bigger and in a more private spot, but in the end it worked out okay for my husband! You ring a bell and everyone can hear it so my husband didn’t like that. Rooms are big enough but cold. Everything seems sanitary which is good.

I had care that was designed just for me. Dr Blohm had nurses call, met on Sundays, and even did my iUI during Hurricane Matthew with just his wife present. That’s dedication!

They were always professional and friendly. They always made me fee comfortable.

Dr Blohm does not have a great bedside manner. He talks fast and often “above” me and he is very candid. However, he wants success for his patients and is dedicated to his job. He had the greatest compassion for me when I experienced a death of a close family member and then a miscarriage. He didn’t give up on me.

Do not get bogged down in his bedside manner or what you read on the Internet. He will be truthful with you and absolutely knows what he is doing. Who cares if he isn’t Mr Nice Guy. He is real. He is intelligent. And he cares that you get pregnant!

Shots to make follicles grow? A shot to make me ovulate. Don’t remember drug names.

About 3800 for a complete IUI procedure which included medicines. This did not include preliminary such as sperm testing and a laporoscopic surgery to look at my anatomy

Clinics strengths would be dr Blohm is very knowledgeable about IVF and fertility treatment. Weakness is office staff and equipment. The ultrasounds are old. Not very caring at all when seeing the doctor

There was no compassionate at all. After our treatment we never got a phone call for a follow up or to see how things turned out

I never really seen any of the nurses. Dr Blohm does all his ultrasounds. I only seen on nurse to go over how to give the injections

As a doctor of knowledge he is the doctor to go to, for a doctor of compassionate and bed side manner it’s definitely not Dr Blohm. His nurses are very nice but the front desk makes you feel bad for calling about anything. The more I seen Dr Blohm the more I liked him but it takes a few visits to get his sense of humor. I never was told about how many follicles or such during ultrasounds, never knew what was going on just what dose of medicine to take every night.

Don’t take his personality to heart and ask many questions

We done super ovaulation with follstim injections. We performed two IUIs during my cycle that resulted in a negative pregnancy test. He then wanted to move on to IVF

For IUI with injections it was 3,000 plus consult fee

I found everyone on the staff of the clinic to be so friendly and compassionate. The clinic was clean and well organized. I highly recommend it.

I felt like a human because I was treated with respect. The office staff and the doctor were so nice.

The nurses were friendly, knowledgeable and answered questions without hesitation.

Dr Blohm is very honest and straight forward. He doesn't sugarcoat things. He may not have the best bedside manner but I always knew what to expect and he kept me well informed of everything.

If you need someone to hold your hand and to tell you that everything will work out, Dr Blohm is not the doctor for you. However, if you want someone who is knowledgeable and will tell you the truth, he is the best.

I had a low ovarian reserve, so IUI with fertility medication was the best option for me, especially considering my age and the fact I was using donor sperm. We started on low dosages the first month but they were adjusted for the second month since the first attempt wasn't successful.

Doctors visits, medications and donor sperm cost me approximately $4000 per month.

The weaknesses would be that they are very busy. The strength is that they are very knowledgeable and each area knows what is going on. The front receptionist knows why you are there just like the nurse knows when your next appointment is. They communicate well.

The practice is very busy so it may not be as personable as I would prefer.

Smaller staff who are compassionate and knowledgeable. Anytime I have ever had a question they are there and if they dont know the answer they usually find out and call back within a few hours.

He is very straightforward and to the point. He does not sugar coat anything. But his success rates are high and that is more important. He isn't there to hold your hand but he does come up with a plan and a backup plan that suits you.

Dont expect hand holding. He is very blunt.

I dont understand this question....

Medicated cycles like with Clomid were around 700.00 each. Injections and IUI cycles are around 2500.00 each.

He's very blunt

Strengths: he knows what he's doing. He's aggressive with treatment. He doesn't sugarcoat. Weaknesses: very blunt, can come off as cold or uncaring. Very rigid in his treatment plans. Has a lot of patients so tends to run fast. You have to make sure to ask specific questions

He is blunt but look past that. He isn't rude, just a scientist. He is good at what he does and he's a perfectionist. In the end, his success rates prove he knows what he's doing. I go to him to get results, not have some dr sugarcoat everything

Three rounds of follistim with timed intercourse. 1st round I ovulated too early so he added Lupron to prevent that. Ovulated when supposed to 2 & 3 round but no pregnancy. I have pcos but no structural issues. Due to age 34 and long history of infertility, he moved us on to IVF which we start August 30th

Everything covered by tricare except IVF He gives a military discount so we are expecting 11-12k for IVF

The clinic is awesome, very organized and clean.

Dr. Blohm was very professional and explained everything to me. He was very open and honest.

The nursing staff at Dr. Blohm was awesome. Every time I called, they answered all of my questions without hesitation.

When I first met Dr. Blohm, he was very blunt and direct. He explained my options and chances at getting pregnant. It was a very difficult time for my husband and I, I was also very emotional. During the course of my treatment, I felt very comfortable with Dr. Blohm and appreciated his honesty. When I loss my children, he was very compassionate.

When you first meet Dr. Blohm keep in mind he's honest and direct. Don't let this stray you away. He's an awesome doctor.

Dr. Blohm reviewed by diagnosis of PCOS and used a targeted plan for me. He wanted to ensure I did not develop Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome. Both of my IVF cycles resulted in postive pregnancies.

About $7,000

During my first IVF Cycle Dr. Blohm did a multiple embryo transfer. This resulted in twin pregnancy and miscarriage. During my second cycle he advised on a single embryo transfer.

The clinic is very well managed. The office staff is very friendly and seem to work very well together. They help explain anything that you might have questions about. They are essentially always open due to the different protocols going on and come in on the weekends often.

Can tell that he really cares whether or not his patients become pregnant and ultimately have children.

They are very compassionate and helpful along the way

Dr Blohm is an amazing physician who truly wants the best, safest outcome for his patients. You can see the wheels turning when he is trying to figure out the best approach to take. He is truly brilliant and has a wonderful staff.

You will not be treated as a number. He has a very dry, witty sense of humor.

I really don’t remember

I don’t remember the specific costs but paid for meds separately.
