Gundersen Fertility Center

Their billing department is not organized. I pre pay every time and they never apply the payment to the bill so I have to call every month to get it applied. They also raised the prices of the iui itself and didn’t tell us until we were writing the check. They raised it by quite a bit which put a financial strain on us for that month.

Not much time spent explaining things. Didn’t even tell me I had PCOS until the 6th iui failed

The nursing staff was amazing. I interacted with several and only had one I didn’t care for.

Going through 7 iui’s I became more disappointed every time. Was told multiple times we would get more aggressive with the med protocol, but I feel we never became aggressive because she would say we wanna try less expensive options even though we were ok with the cost. Also was not told I had PCOS until the 6th iui failed. Each time the physician assistant would recommend a treatment course for the next iui and the time would come and Dr. Ryan would do something else that was less aggressive.

Do your own research because if you don’t things aren’t explained well at all and you need to be your own advocate with this clinic.

Started with 2.5mg of letrozole for 4 cycles with a trigger shot. After 4 failed rounds she increased it to 5mg. I still only produced one mature follicle. The 6th cycle we increased it to 7.5mg and still only had one mature follicle. The 7th cycle she added Dexamethasone which resulted in 2 follicles.

Iui was $489 now they raised it to almost $600. Monitoring ultrasound was about $134

The clinic is close to my house which is nice. The staff is friendly and knowledge but I feel as if I'm just a number and they want my money.

She never gave me the time that I needed to talk to her about my treatments. Rushed in and out of appointments

The nursing staff in particular diane was very nice and compassionate. She listened to my questions and concerns. Ruth wasn't as compassionate but she was still nice.

Dr. Ryan was very blunt and she stated that I wouldn't ever regain my menstrual cycles on my own which in fact I did. She never spent individual time with me, I was always rushed in and out of appointments. She also gave my fiance and I false hope. Dr. Ryan didn't really listen to my concerns and you promised that we would get pregnant within no time.

Try to remain positive through these tough times but don't get your hopes up. Wait until you see the positive pregnancy test.

Menopur 75units daily, monitoring ultrasounds. Pregnyl trigger and iui with progesterone suppositories for the first two cycles. Third cycle add follistim to help grow follicles. So, cycle 3and 4menopur plus follistim, monitored ultrasound, pregnyl and iui and progesterone suppositories. Took time off.. Regained cycles on my own. Started letrozole 5mg per day on days 3-7.. Menopur 2 (leftovers) Pregnyl and TI - only two follicles, progesterone suppositories. 6 cycle letrozole 5mg 3-7, pregnyl, TI progesterone.. Only one follicle. 7 cycle letrozole 7.5mg, lining think, natural ovulation..

Menopur injections were over 1,200 each cycle (4). Follistim 500 for each cycle (2). Pregnyl for each cycle 139.50(7). Letrozole 12$ first two, 20 for the last. Progesterone 88-100 each cycle. In addition to these out of pocket expenses doctor bills range well over 7,000

Only weakness is that they don't perform IVF, but are knowledgeable on the treatment and willing to help with any monitoring or tests needed to complete our IVF journey. It would be great if they had a better website or resource center with their capabilities, types of treatments, and online scheduling. Overall it was an easy process with them

Dr Endrizzi had a similar experience to us and he connected with us on a personal level and advised future treatment based on what would work for us and not to financially benefit the hospital. He was fantastic

Absolutely loved Dr. Endrizzi. He delivered the most disappointing news we've ever received in a respectful manner and clearly explained what we would benefit from the most in the next steps of our journey. Very compassionate and felt like he truly cared about if we fully understood the information he provided.

Mentally prepare for outcomes as labs aren't always what they seem

Dr Endrizzi suggested we move straight to IVF as IUI and further testing would financially set us back without giving us positive results

Affordable care for seeing a specialist

Very good overall. Only complaint is that at my last appointment, I had to wait 20 minuets past my scheduled appointment time. The ladies at the front desk can be very chatty and loud when I’m not sure it is always appropriate.

Dr. Ryan is very personable. She explains things in a very easy to understand way.

The whole nursing staff is wonderful. They are incredibly easy to talk to. They are great at answering my questions.

Dr. Ryan is incredibly knowledgeable. She took a great deal of time sitting with me and explaining treatment options and a plan. She listened to my concerns and was very helpful in answering my questions.

Be open about your concerns. The more she knows, the better she can help you.

My first treatment included 2,000 mg of Metformin. If this doesn’t work, she will prescribe letrozole depending on my next progesterone test. I may also have surgery for endometriosis in the next few months.

Testing was expensive, but I was thankful my insurance covered a lot of it.

Gundersen does not do IVF at the moment but they still do IUI's. If you know you need IVF then you'll need to look elsewhere but overall this clinic and fertility staff is amazing and would recommend anyone going there

She was always friendly

they were vary thoughtful and called me every so often to check and see how I was doing

she is amazing always supportive in good/bad situations... She did our IUI back in June 2016 and that turned into a wonderful pregnancy and then we got pregnant in feb 2017 and ended in a miscarriage but for both she was supportive in every which way when we had our miscarriage she sent us a baby ring to remember our angel

ask as many questions as you need to she will take the time to answer every single one

unfortunately with all of the IUI's that we ended up doing I don't remember the protocols

if starting a family was not so expensive I know raising kids are not cheap by all means but getting pregnant should not cost thousands of dollars

did not do IVF as to we could not afford it

Very organized. Very clean and welcoming

I felt like a human because I had my own team of nurses and doctor. They always talked to me and greeted by name and were very open to all of my questions.

Compassionate

Dr. Shalih was amazing. She was very friendly and compassionate.

Go in with an open mind. She will do what she can to help

$11,000 for the IVF and $8,000 for the medications involved.
