Mid-Missouri Reproductive Medicine and Surgery

They should have done some research before going to the clinic. They should realize that every problem may not be fixable. Over all I do think this clinic does good work, but need to be better at reviewing patient charts more regularly.

When I first started there as a patient I felt very much like a human, care felt very personal. After my initiation of the IVF process, I felt much more like a number due to the fact that they often forgot to give me necessary information, rushed me through appointments, brushed off concerns, and care was more protocol than personalized.

They are very caring and compassionate when they understand every aspect of what is happening. They are very skilled and knowledgeable. However, I also feel that they have an approach that is very rigid when it comes to alternative viewpoints.

Dr. Wilshire can be very blunt and too the point, which I can appreciate in this kind of situation. However, I do not feel that he is open minded to adjusting treatment and retesting based on changes in patient condition or concerns. He is very skilled and knowledgeable, but seems rigid in care. I was also frustrated because i had to order excess medication because they were unprepared for how my ovaries would react to the IVF meds.

Don't take it personally, he is just giving you the facts.

for all of my IUI's we used a 5 day clomid regimen to produce 2-3 follicles, and a specifically timed insemination in conjunction with hcg injection. I cannot remember the exact medications and order of receiving them for my IVF cycle. But when I originally researched it, it was seemed to be based on the same protocols of many skilled fertility centers. I do know that I was taking IM progesterone, which I became allergic to around my 5th week of pregnancy, right after switching medications is when I MC. It should be mentioned that I asked for an alternate protocol with higher dose steroids for longer period of time because of immune concerns, and was dismissed.

I'm not really sure because they didn't review my insurance right before we started, so I want to say the total amount before the review was 14,000 with meds and icsi and freezing. However after they took my new insurance into account the cost was around 6,600. Then there was a little less than 6,000 for PGD testing.

They did a very good job of explaining why this is the preferred method for transfer.

Their billing and insurance processing is slow. Some visits we pay the usual amount and then sometimes don't pay anything. After that I can expect a big bill at the next appointment. They usually say insurance paid more or didn't cover it.

He sat down with us and went through in detail about our file and after surgery sat with me and explained everything in depth and answered any questions I had. His nurses are very nice and always remember us and ask us questions about us that we discussed last time we were there.

All of the nurses are very nice and compassionate to the situations we are in. They are very positive and it is a pleasant experience when we are there. Kim is always nice and asks about our lives

He is a very busy doctor. Doing surgery and ivf takes him out of the office a lot. When we talked to him though he does not speak to fast and allows us to stop him and ask questions whenever we are confused.

He can be blunt and he is not afraid to give you any bad news. I truly think he wants each and every patient to have a child.

Since we already had several tests performed by prior doctor he went over file with us. Started a course of action to do a few iui and if not pregnant go in for surgery to see if endometriosis exists. Once through surgery he wanted to do a few more iui. We have since decided to move on to ivf. Started iui with clomid and last 2 cycles have been with injections of folistim. We moved on to IVF and completed one egg retrieval. Egg numbers were higher than average and at the stage of freezing we were left with 6 I believe to send to be genetically tested. The first transfer we did two embryos, 1 implanted but miscarried. No explanation as to possibly why. Next transfer using last embryo nothing was changed protocol wise. Same results. Asked him about possible egg quality issues or other tests that could be done. Essentially he said no. And we should just get a hold of him again when we want to do another retrieval and ivf cycle.

Some of the services were covered under insurance. Not sure of their original prices. 63 for trigger shot. 125 for semen collection and washing. 600 unit of folistim is $420.

He prefers to do single transfers. Our first transfer we did two and at multiple steps he always wanted to make sure we knew two could mean twins and make sure we wanted two.

The clinic is great. As I mentioned before, a human always answers the phone and they are always waiting at the front desk when you come in for your appointment. They were easy to work with.

Every time I called his office a person answered the phone. I was never put on hold and never talked to a computer, they always answered my questions and helped me out. Amanda (his nurse) was super nice and explained everything that was happening in normal language that we could understand.

Amanda was great to work with. She's calm, confident and compassionate. She fully explained everything she was going to do before she did it, answered all of our questions and even laughed at my husbands "funny" jokes. Whenever she had to call me with test results, she did so within hours of me leaving the office and she returned phone calls promptly within a few hours. She was encouraging and comforting to work with.

Dr. Wilshire is super direct and tells it how it is. We loved his confident yet humble approach. He explained everything very well, was direct about the lifestyle things we needed to change while explaining why the changes needed to be made. We never left the office confused or unsure of what was going on.

Make an appointment sooner! I wish we would have gone in when I first thought about it instead of waiting for "one more cycle".

For our first appointment, we watched a video that explained the fertility process and then Dr. Wilshire came and brought us to his office. He asked us all of the life style and medical history questions- in most offices the nurses do this, we liked that he did. He explained what the next few months would look like for us and then did an ultrasound. On my next cycle, I took Clomid followed by a trigger shot and IUI. We were successful on our first round!

None of the costs were over the top. You pay before you go in for your appointment. The cost was typically between $50-$200 per appointment.

They are SO organized and to the smallest detail. I think they knew my cycles better than me! It took so much stress out of the process for me knowing that they were on top of everything. From bloodwork, to diet, exercise, meds, schedule...I just had to do what they said. And that made me worry waaaaaay less having someone just tell me what to do. Literally the only thing I didn't like was their after hours answering service... they weren't great at delivering messages.

He and his nurses were always so kind when we came in; asking about what we'd been up to, how we were feeling, gave hugs, and took such good care of us with grace and we really felt like they were ALL rooting for us.

Kim, Amanda, and Marnie were my nurses and they were SO amazing and kind. I always got a call back even when I had a random concern, and they very sweetly took time out of their clinic to answer questions I had. Sometimes after Dr Wilshire would leave the room I would go over details with the nurses just to make sure I was on track- and they were so helpful and patient. I love those ladies and their support!

Dr. Wilshire is one smart cookie. He was straight forward with us, set up our plan, and made sure we understood what would be happening at each visit. When we had unsuccessful cycles, the plan was adjusted every time. I always felt like he was moving us forward and swinging for the fences - every cycle. We felt really comfortable with him and he is so calm and kind, it put us at ease being in his care. Our experience has been wonderful!!!

Just follow along with the plan he sets up and have faith!!

1. Clomid 50 mg-was not able to do iui this cycle. Neg hpt. 2. Clomid 100 mg, progesterone supp, hcg inj. Successful but miscarriage at 6 weeks. 3. Clomid 150 mg, progesterone supp, hcg inj. Negative hpt. 4. Clomid 150 mg, progesterone supp, fsh injections, hcg inj. Successful and currently 10 weeks w one beautiful baby!

US were $120 and then eventually insurance covered, Clomid depends on in but mine was around $30, Progesterone was $65 per fill, hcg inj was $90, iui wax around $300. We thought all charges were reasonable. Working in healthcare, I feel like I have a pretty good handle on cost of procedures.

Most appointments are quick and there isn't much wait time.

Nurses and IVF staff checked on me when I came in and out of the office regardless if they were the ones seeing me that day.

She is wonderful. She even offered to give me her personal cell phone number so she could walk me through mixing medications when it was time because it was after office hours.

Dr Wilshire tells you how things are. He is sometimes blunt and to the point but does it professionally.

Ask lots of questions.

Follistim 225units daily for 7 days Ganirelix 250mcg on day 6 and day 8 Menopur 225 units on day 8 HCG on day 9 Egg Retrieval on day Day 11

We did fresh IVF cycles with ICSI. Our first pregnancy also required a TESA procedure. Our first cycle was partially covered by insurance. We had to pay about $14,000 up front and were reimbursed by the clinic after insurance paid, how total cost for that cycle was about $6,000. For our second cycle insurance covered most of it. We still had specimens froze so we didn't have to do another TESA procedure. Our insurance was checked this time and we only had to pay what insurance wasn't going to pay. At the time of our consultation we had different insurance so our consultation was $157.75. Our insurance changed at our cost were $320 for Hysterscope with practice transfer 2 office visits for ultrasound and Estradiol Levels $53.06 each $1500 for IVF/ICSI 3 office visits for ultrasounds after transfer $25 each For a total of in office cost of $2001.12 Medication Costs were as follows Birth control pills prior to starting cycle no cost Valium $0.68 for hysterscope Doxycycline $10 Follistim 4 vials $50 Menopur 8 vials $100 Ganirelix 3 vials $50 Endometrin $50 Augmentin $3.90 Aspirin $0 HCG $20 Total Medication cost $284.58

The clinic was easy to get to, with great parking. Appointments were easy to schedule, staff was friendly, and we enjoyed our entire experience there.

The staff knew my name, always took great care with my numerous calls with questions, and returned my calls very quickly. Treatment is highly personalized.

Amanda was always available to answer questions, or called me back very quickly. All nursing staff was professional and courteous.

Dr. Wilshire was very honest about his expectations and blunt about fertility barriers. Though he is straight-forward, he showed compassion to our situation. He was very conversational on our first visit, which helped us get to know him, and him us. He always saw us on visits to tell us the current status and what to expect. Dr. Wilshire performed a procedure on me to help increase fertility, and everything went well and I was excellently cared for.

Dr. Wilshire will give it to you straight, and do everything he can to get you pregnant!

Initially, I had an exam which showed some ovarian cysts. Dr. Wilshire said I may have PCOS, so he did a procedure to possibly diagnose that and to remove any cysts that may be there. That went well. I didn't have PCOS, but several cysts were removed. This increases fertility. I took one round of Clomid, and did an Hcg injection, then went to have an IUI with donated sperm. A few weeks later we found out we were pregnant! Dr. Wilshire told us there was about a 60% chance of getting pregnant after three cycles of trying IUI. So we didn't expect it to happen so quickly! We are 10 weeks pregnant now.

I have a high deductible, so I paid film price for everything except the procedure I had. All office visits and ultrasounds were under $150.

Dr. Wilshire totally made me feel like a human. He sat down and talked with me for over an hour about every detail of my life that could be affecting my fertility while not making me feel bad for any of it!

Amanda was great. Very warm and sweet!

Dr. Wilshire was amazing! He made me feel very comfortable and helped make the situation a little lighter while still portraying to understand the scariness of the circumstances. He even made us laugh! My husband and I were so nervous to take the step of seeing someone for infertility but upon first impression, he immediately made us both feel much better. We still talk about that first appoint and how we loved Dr. Wilshire within minutes of being in his office! He was incredibly blunt and very direct about what our 'problems' were and what our course of action would look like. He did not sugar coat anything but still relayed the message in a caring and compassionate manor.

He is very direct. If you don't like blunt then he is not the doctor for you.

I had a total of 2 rounds of IUI treatment. For each round, I went in on the first day of my period for an ultrasound and then was given a prescription for clomid (25mg the first round, 50mg the second) in which I took for 5 days towards the beginning of my cycle. Then in the middle of my cycle, I would go in for another ultrasound to make sure my ovaries had grown appropriately and that there was an egg ready. The gave me an hcg trigger IM injection to do at home that night and then the following day, my husband would go in and deposit a sample in which the lab in Dr. Wilshire's office would spin out the 'bad ones' of the bunch. 2 hours later I would go in and they would inject his sample directly into my uterus. It was completely painless and then I would rest there with my knees up for 15min. Later that night my husband and I had intercourse to set the 'environment.' After the IUI treatment I had to take progesterone suppositories until I got a negative pregnancy test or until 8 weeks gestation. 2 weeks later I took a pregnancy test. The first round it came back negative but on the second round it came back positive. I had to do IUI treatment because I have endometriosis and PCOS along with a blocked tube. The only thing that was not so pleasant about the whole expericence (other than it just being an uncomfterable situation anyway) were the meds. They made me feel pretty moody but it was all so so worth it because I now have a 3 month old baby boy!

The clinic was very clean with high technology equipment. The receptionists were always friendly and welcoming. There are no weaknesses, it is a great office.

I know that Dr. Wilshire sees hundreds and hundreds of patients, but every time I went in, I felt like I was the only one that he had his focus on and it was a VERY personal experience every single time.

The nurses showed a lot of compassion through the tough journey. When I had phone calls every time I had a worry, they saw me right away or gave me the answer I needed. I grew attached to the staff because it was such a personal experience.

My husband and I saw fertility doctor after fertility doctor due to recurrent loss. I feel like we got nowhere and got different answers every single time. I have several family members and friends who have full blown infertility and they got pregnant successfully within 1-3 visits with Dr. Wilshire after years of trying. When I got an appointment with him, we walked out very confident in Dr. Wilshire's plan for us. We we lucky enough to get pregnant the first round of IUI. This pregnancy is the first pregnancy out of 4 total, that is healthy. And I believe it was because of his approach. He kept a close eye on me through about ten weeks pregnant with my history of miscarriages. When we had to depart it was very bittersweet. I have been referring everyone who I know that has infertility to him. My husband and I will definitely be back if need be for our other children.

If you want to go through treatment, you have to be willing to spend a little money and be able to take off work last minute. This wasn't even an issue for us though because IUI was very affordable and they were able to get me in at 7 am before my work even started. Each of the visits had no wait in the waiting room and I was in and out within less than 15 minutes and that even included the quick IUI procedure. I was even able to go straight back to work after that with no restrictions.

I did a series of tests with several different doctors and even a hysteroscopy and laparoscopy to try to figure out recurrent loss. When I got to Dr. Wilshire, he did one more round of tests to see if I needed to do IUI or IVF. Lab work came back good so we did IUI. I did 50 mg of clomid with ultrasound monitoring, trigger shot and IUI. Then he put me on progesterone. I had only one dominant follicle. First round worked and I got pregnant successfully with a singleton. I am currently 11 weeks pregnant.

Each ultrasound cost $125 and IUI was around $200. The medications were fairly inexpensive.

Appointments were usually right on time and they were able to get you in and back out in a timely manner. They were very knowledgable as to what my insurance covered and I never had to question anything in that area. I saw no weaknesses within the clinic.

The staff was always warm and welcoming. There were even times outside the office that they recognized us and acknowledged us.

The nurses were always available when I called with questions. They were knowledgable of our treatments and time was not wasted having to explain why we were there. They were always very friendly, kind and helpful.

Dr. Wiltshire was always very open and straightforward with us. There were times that his honesty stung a little, especially in regards to my weight issues, but I never once doubted that he had our best interests in mind. He is very knowledgable in his field and always made sure we knew what was going on with our treatments. He made us feel comfortable and confident as we continued our treatments.

He can be very straightforward and a little abrassive, but he is amazing at what he does and always has your best interest in mind.

Since I was diagnosed as having PCOS one of the biggest parts of my treatment plan was to be on a low carb diet. This helped to regulate some of my levels in order to make my IUIs successful. Our medication was modified as needed based on what my ultrasounds would show.

At the end my insurance covered all ultrasounds. Before that I paid $125 each visit for an ultrasound and when we would have an IUI done it was around $220.

The clinic is set in an older building, but don't judge a book by its cover. Their office is in fact very nice, clean, and comfortable. They recently received new ultrasound machines which are much improved. Their surgery prep room and surgery room and situated right next to the lab where embryos are kept. During transfer you can literally see your eggs being drawn up into the catheter by the embryologist. It is comforting to be able to see all the "behind the scenes" action, because these are our babies we are talking about!

The nurses or Dr Wilshire himself were available to us 24/7. During treatments, if we left appointments and thought of questions later, we could call at any time and have any question answered. When we had breakdowns and cried, Dr Wilshire himself lingered in the room for comfort. When it came to finding a high risk doctor for our successful IVF twin pregnancy, they did all the work in getting an appointment set for us. Even after hours, even once we were past their care, they still answered pages in the middle of the night and put to rest any concerns we had.

We worked primarily with Amanda at first. She was very quiet but kind and compassionate. She answered any questions we had and always made us feel comfortable. Kim did our IUI, and was a very fun, but professional nurse to work with. Marnee was our IVF nurse, who is very to the point and honest, but cares deeply for each patient. Marnee can come off as stern, especially when explaining risks, but we quickly realized this is just because she genuinely cares and worries about each patient. The relief on her face when she saw me after we suffered from OHSS (ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome) said it all. We had a rough patch, but one office visit we came in and I was feeling much better. She let out a huge sigh of relief and said she'd been worried sick every night for us. This made us feel even more comfortable in their care.

Dr Wilshire from the get go was very forward. He didn't sugar coat things, but he also was not too harsh or gruff in explaining the hard facts. From the first visit we were very confident. He moved forward with us immediately with a plan, from day 1. If we experienced any set backs or curveballs, he wasted no time in coming up with a new plan and putting it into place immediately. There was never a time where we went home disappointed in the care we received. We may have been disappointed in outcomes along the way, but those were outcomes that were not in anyway in his control. They were outcomes left to nature and my body that did not cooperate with our plan. Dr Wilshire was always available for questions. He never turned us away or referred us to ask his nurses questions. He was genuine in the time spent with us.

He prepared for the truth. Nothing will be sugar coated. He is honest in what baseline factors need to be present to conceive. Whether it's losing weight, or gaining weight, or picking up exercise and getting healthier, or cutting back on exercise and letting your body heal. He knows what he is doing. Trust it!

We first tried clomid, but thanks to my pituitary issues, my body did not respond to this at all. So we immediately moved go injectables. It was a fast change of plans, and scary. We didn't expect that so quick. But Dr Wilshire knew clomid was a waste of our time, so we moved on! IUI + follistim was next for us. Since I had plenty of eggs, and maturation/ ovulation was my issue, we started with half the typical dose. Being conservative worried me, but he was right, because even at a half dose I over-responded and the cycle was cancelled. The next cycle, they monitored me every other day instead of every few days, to titrate my dose as needed. With this, I even still was over stimulated and cancelled yet again. We gave it one more shot, and this time went so low and low that after two full weeks of injections, we had no lead egg(s) jumping out and they were in fact fizzling. So we cancelled and moved to IVF. Our protocol with this was going to still be conservative, and have both an agonist and antagonist approach. We chose this since I do get overstimulated easily. We did not want premature release of any follicles. So about half way into stims we added antagonists as well. We went: follistim, follistim+ menopur, menopur+ ganirelix, and trigger. That worked beautifully. Resulting in an abundance of eggs.

Ultrasounds were roughly average, ~$100. IUI was average as well, aside from injectables, the procedure cost just a couple hundred. Ivf cost was reasonable and average. ~15K, including ICSI, not including genetic screening.

So helpful and invested. They were so happy for us and I would highly recommend this clinic. They went above and beyond when we has issues with the loan company.

He was very honest about our chances and what we needed to do to increase those chances. He was kind and understanding when we needed to take a break from treatments and not pushy.

Marney was wonderful and helpful and always keeping us in the loop.

He's very honest about what needs to be done. He gave us a detailed diet to follow which I like since I'm horrible at following diets. He was so excited for us when we did get pregnant. I would highly recommend him.

He's honest. I'm 30lbs overweight and he did tell me that losing weight would help but it wasn't mandatory. He did it in such a way that I wasn't offended or upset by it.

We did 4 clomid IUI cycles with Dr. Wilshire which we unsuccessful. We decided to jump straight to IVF since an injectables cycle is so expensive to give us our best chance. Dr. Wilshire agreed with our rationale and put me on birth control to start. Before the cycle started we did a mock transfer which showed I had a pseudo cyst which he removed right there. I like how proactive he is. We did two weeks of injections but I only produced 4 follicles. Since we were expecting to get 20 this was disappointing. Dr. Wilshire discussed cancelling the cycle so we didn't spend the big bucks for 4 eggs. We decided that was best and the cycle was converted to IUI. The IUI worked and we now have a beautiful 4 month old!

Professional, organized, clean, welcoming. You always feel so important and as if you are their only patient .

I always felt as if I was their only patient while knowing it was far from that. Personal relationships with all staff from the beginning and communication available all hours.

Marnee is one of the greatest people I've met. If I ever had any question, she was always available. Marnee always made me feel at ease and helped me stay relaxed throughout the years of being with Dr. Wilshire's office. Always professional but always there, through tears and sadness and the greatest joy of becoming pregnant.

Dr. Wilshire made us feel as part of his family and always encouraged us to do what we were comfortable with. He easily could try and sway our decisions to improve his numbers but he cared about us as people and our mental health through the process. We always had complete trust in him and his team and it was very bittersweet to move on after becoming pregnant.

Be honest and open, he's available to talk about any and everything. Don't hold back any questions or concerns because Dr. Wilshire can make you feel at ease after discussion.

All of the first 3 cycles were slightly different, working to find something that would work for us. After trying a double transfer that he had not done before and having success, the same protocol was used when we returned to conceive our second baby.

With no insurance coverage everything was out of pocket. I can't remember exact costs but compared to other offices it was average in comparison.

The staff was on the ball and I never had issues with anyone. The building the clinic is in is dated. I actually went to college across the street and the clinic reminded me a lot of the buildings on campus which were from the 1960s. The ultrasound machines were new in 2015 so they were nice.

Dr. Wilshire and Marnie were always telling me the truth and we’re upfront. Everyone at the clinic was great!

Marnie was awesome! I could call and actually talk to her or she’d call me back within an hour. I even had her cell phone and called her at 9 pm one time with a question. She answered all my questions and talked me off of the ledge.

Dr. Wilshire is very blunt, which I appreciate. He told me he thought our cycle could go either way but he had a plan based on our case. I appreciate that he was truthful and didn’t tell me that everything was great.

He’s going to tell you the truth so try not to get defensive if it not something you want to hear.

The first 7 days of my cycle we used follistim and the next 7 we used menopur and ganirelix. This is a good protocol for pcos which I found out through my own research and his approach matched what I learned. For our FET, we did a lupron protocol and it worked.

$7800 for IVF - fresh transfer plus labs and meds. $2000 for FET plus labs and meds.

I wanted a eSET and he was fine with it. I’m not sure what he does with other patients.

The office staff,along with the nurses work very well together.

Dr Wilshire and all of his staff are excellent. They do everything they can to make you feel at ease in what's one of the hardest situations. There are so many emotions and heartache that comes with infertility. It's so confronting to have a Doctor and his staff that are so caring.

Every time my husband and I have had an appointment, our experience has been great. No complaints.

Going into our first appointment with Dr Wilshire, my husband and I had hopes that he would say that our situation wasn't as bad as we had been previously told. Unfortunately for us not only was he completely honest but also went into further detail about our infertility than our previous doctor had not. He then proceeded to tell us about everything the clinic offers, from the cheapest route to the most expensive. He gave us a lot of information to talk and think over. We are very grateful and blessed that we found Dr Wilshire and his team!!!

Be prepared for truth no matter how bad it maybe and a doctor that is extremely compassionate to the situation.

I was prescribed 100mg of clomid for 5 days then we went for our IUI and I then took progesterone. My ovaries responded. I got at least one follicle that would be big enough.

All out of pocket. Our insurance didn't cover anything.

They have a lab in house for semen testing. They have multiple treatment rooms. They are able to perform hysteroscope in the office. Pharmacy next door for easy access to meds

The staff are always really friendly. Dr. Wilshire comes in and looks at my US and gets excited when he sees how many eggs we produced. He has a warm and caring personality

They all are very friendly upon calling you back. They engage you in friendly talk about the weather or what plans you have for the weekend. They all are very competent in doing the US. Most of them are good at explaining stuff to you.

Dr. Wilshire went through both mine and my husbands medical histories. He suggested that I may have PCOS. Upon doing the first US, a nurse did it, but Dr. Wilshire stood behind her and explained everything to us and I did in fact have PCOS. He laid out our treatment plan and told us we could start right away! He was very nice and compassionate during the whole process. Unfortunately we didn't see him at all during our first cycle as he was out for surgery on his shoulder. But we saw him at the very next cycle.

Ask lots of questions

US on cycle day 3, start clomid 100mg for 5 days immediately. Return for US 8-9 days later to see lining and follicles. Then a HCG trigger shot. Timed intercourse night of shot and after IUI. IUI 36 hrs after shot.

$124 per each US, $10 for clomid, $85 for HCG trigger shot. $240 for semen prep and IUI. Around $600-700 total per cycle

Nurses were very nice and supportive. Very comforting atmosphere. Wilshire was very knowledgeable and had good communications skills and personal experiences. He was very blunt and has a dry sense of humor.

He was very blunt and informative anf seemed very positive about us getting pregnant.

Desk stafg seemed very lost and uninformed at times. Very nice, but seemed very unexperienced most of the time

Very personal and informative and answered all questions. Explained all options from the beginning. He was thorough with testing and also completed 2 laparoscopic surgeries as well as a d/c after miscarriage.

Know exactly what insurance they accept or dont except before recieveing any care. Also, advocate for yourself and always ask questions.

He suspected endometriosis and confirmed via laparoscopic surgery. He explained all medication and pricing available to us as well as IUI and IVF. We completed 5 rounds of IUI, 4 with clomid and 1 with injections that all failed. We took a year off and I lost 40lbs. We conceived naturally but miscarried at 10wks under Wilshire's care. He completed another laparoscopic surgery after a d/c to remove endo that had grown back and then completed a 7th IUI with that failed. Currently trying naturally due to finances.

Approximately $10,000 out of pocket

They do everything right there in the office. If you call they return your call in a timely manner. You can see your ultrasound images & get your blood work done right there & get the results in a few hours. There is a pharmacy with a great staff on the 1st floor of the building which is very convenient. The medicine I needed that had to be shipped was done in a timely manner & the staff at the doctors office was very helpful in the ordering process & making sure I had the correct medicine at the correct time.

He always called me by name, was friendly, & helped me understand everything along with his wonderful nurses. He & his staff were also very compassionate & he believed in what he does.

They are fabulous! They are kind, compassionate,& understand! It didn't matter which of the 3 nurses I saw, I always felt comfortable & had my questions or concerns taken care of quickly.

He is very caring and compassionate. He explained things & was easy to work with. He has made this experience much easier than I expected. I was very comfortable every time I saw him. He explained things in a straight forward manner & answered questions without making me feel silly about what I asked.

Ask any questions you have. He will answer all of your questions clearly & let's you know all your questions are important

The clinics parking lot is small. Everything else about it is wonderful.

Dr. Wilshire and his staff take the time to get to k ow their patients. I even had a nurse who cried with me when treatment didn't go as planned.

Both Kim and Amanda are amazing. Kim always greeted me with a smile and a hug. When some things didn't go exactly as planned, Kim showed just as much emotion as we did. She shows how much she truly cares about her patients. Amanda is just as sweet. She is always very polite, smiling, and makes you feel comfortable in a sometimes awkward situation.

Dr. Wilshire is straight and to the point. I really liked this. When starting treatment he did not sugar coat anything and was quick to lay out the fact that I needed to lose weight to help the procedure be more successful. While straight and to the point Dr. Wilshire is very caring and has a great connection with his patients. You feel like part of a family with him.

Don't be surprised by what you might hear come out of his mouth.

Our strategy was to start with clomid, use an hcg shot, then move on to iui. The first treatment worked, I got pregnant, but was not able to carry. The second treatment was the same and worked like a charm.

The first treatment ended up being around 1,500. Second treatment was around 1,200.

Everything we had was very upfront, costs were available, insurance was checked. New patient information was mailed and appointments promptly scheduled.

He always knew and could recall personal info from previous appointments. He was specific in his conversation and the staff was always ready to answer the phone and provide information at any time.

The nursing staff was always, personable and understanding in their care. They were available for questions and NEVER made me feel "stupid" for asking them.

Dr. Wilshire gave an empathetic ear to all concerns as well as a well rounded educational explanation of the whole process. He used scientific based evidence and years of clinical experience to give excellent recommendations.

Come prepared with all questions.

Clomid for egg development HCG injection for ovulation IUI for insemination Progesterone suppositories for sustainable pregnancy Multiple ultrasounds for checking for any abnormalities and pregnancy confirmation.

Payed for all fertility drugs either at the office or at a conveniently located pharmacy in the same building that had what we needed. My insurance covered all other cost associated with my care, however my husbands sperm collection was not covered and was a minimal out of pocket expense.

Although at times there were delays in hearing back from the nursing staff my overall experience was very good with that clinic. Both the doctor and the nurses took time to explain the procedures in the medications throughout the entire process.

Dr Wilshire explained everything in detail throughout the process. Even after our failed cycle, he took time out of his busy schedule to personally meet us and answer any questions we had about the procedure and moving forward.

The nursing staff was great in explaining the procedures, medication, etc. The only negative is that at times it was hard to reach them and had to leave multiple messages and/or emails.

We had a great experience with Dr Wilshire from the initial consultation through the egg retrieval and after. We felt he took the time to thoroughly explain the procedures. We felt Dr Wilshire was very honest with us about our chances.

Any patient should ask lots of questions and if you don’t understand the answers, ask again.

The total costs related to our first cycle of IVF was a little over $22,000. This included the ultrasounds, the egg retrieval, ICSI, PGD testing, and the medications.

Dr Wilshire did go over the risks of a multiple embryo transfer because I have a weakened cervix from a previous surgery.

I think they should update the design and make it more comforting and inviting. They have all of the appropriate equipment it just seems like a very clinical setting. I've seen other clinics that were more inviting.

They always knew exactly who I was.

They know who you are and they want you to be successful.

I just wish I actually got treatment from him more often. I usually always dealt with the nurses. I love how easy going and knowledgeable he is. He always gives us hope and encouragement when we do see him.

Be prepared with questions every time you go.

We did 3 cycles of IUI. I have PCOS and no other known issues so this seemed like the most practical approach. We started with Clomid and it took me 3 weeks to respond to it. So the next cycle we started with Clomid and then switched to Follistim because of the reaction time of my body. The last cycle we did all Follistim and I still had a 3 week reaction time. I did develop follicles every time it just took weeks. All 3 IUIs were successful but ended in chemical pregnancies.

I received First Steps so I was able to get my Follistim at a discount. The IUI itself was not that expensive. About $700 a cycle but my cycles were unusually long so it costs more.

We did not have IVF done.

No weaknesses I can think of. Strengths are plentiful, easy parking, big waiting room. Usually if you show up to the appointment early they get you in early instead of letting you sit around, which is nice.

Dr. Wilshire remembered us when he saw us, and helped us pick the best plan for us. Also Kim, a nurse there, is literally one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. We had an unfortunate miscarriage and the office helped us through it even though they really didn’t have to.

The nursing staff can not be beat. Every time we came into the office we were treated like family.

He’s great. He’s extremely knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable. He’s very good at explaing how things work and helping with the statistics and probabilities. During our first visit he explained to us in great detail what was wrong and what needed to be done to fix it.

Don’t wear perfume, it closes his throat up and he has a hard time breathing.

I think it usually cost maybe $100 a Visit. In Austin TX our costs were $1,000 a month, and didn’t include medicine. Definitely more affordable in Columbia.

A big strength of this clinic is its size. They are able to treat their patients as individuals and humans. The staff was always friendly and pleasant to be around. it was never a full waiting room, and I never had to wait long to see/speak to the nurse/doctor.

Dr. Wilshire was open and honest during our consultation. He suggested we wait several months before beginning our cycle as he wanted to improve our chances. This made me feel like a human an not another number. He would also come in during some monitoring appointments as well.

Our nurse was the best. She was friendly, compassionate, and 'ready' to get us pregnant. She has a great heart.

He is blunt and straight to the point, which was refreshing and what we needed. He is friendly and would sometimes lightheartedly joke. Dr. Wilshire treated me and my husband like his only patients and he shared our same goal.

He is blunt, but wants the same outcome as his patients.

I was on birth control for a month then went on follistim and gonirelix for about a week and a half. Then HCG trigger and followed transfer with endometrin.

The procedure cost $8,000 - medication and monitoring appointments not included.

It was our choice to transfer 1 or 2, but he did discuss the risks.

This was the second clinic we went to. When enter the office area (not the waiting room) the walls are lined with photos of all of the babies that Dr. Wilshire and his team made possible.

All of the staff were very warm and treated us like we were a member of their family/team.

Very thorough, great communicators, they called to ensure that we were comfortable and ensure that we didn't have any questions. She even gave us her cell phone number in case we had any concerns after hours.

Dr. Wilshire made us feel at ease. Knowing that he had been through something similar to my husband and I was soothing. He was outstanding when it came to explaining the procedures and options.

Dr. Wilshire makes miracles happen, not just for my family, but for many of my friends families.

I cannot recall since that was roughly 3 years ago.

My husband's TESA was roughly $1,300. The total cost for the ICIS/IVF with transfer was $14,000. The majority of the costs were associated with the lab which was roughly $10,000.

The clinic is wonderful, very clean and very professional. They have a great system that keeps patients flowing through the office at the perfect pace. hardly any waiting at all.

Kim is wonderful, she is very informative and helpful through the whole process.

I was anxious to see Dr. Wilshire, as all the previous doctors I had seen for my cyst on my ovary simply wanted to just go in and cut the cyst and ovary out and I wanted to save my ovary. Dr. Wilshire assured me he would do everything in his power to save my ovary, after surgery I found out the ovary had to come out, but I was confident that Dr. Wilshire tried his best to save it, and he was confident that even without it we would not have any troubles conceiving. He's extremely confident in his work and he know exactly what he is doing. I recommend him to everyone!

Trust him whole heartedly.

I saw Dr. Wilshire for a cyst that was too large and needed to be removed, but he also checked every aspect of my reproduction while he was performing my surgery and made sure everything was perfect to carry a baby to term

My only cost for the clinic was the copay and my part of the surgery, I felt it was perfectly reasonable

The clinic overall was amazing! Their hours were accommodating. I was able to be seen on Saturdays, which was nice because we live 2 hours away.

He had amazing bedside manner and answered every question that I had. I wanted to have an uncommon surgery and he was will to try what I wanted rather than what the textbook said you should do.

When calling with a question I never was sent to voice-mail. I always got to talk to a nurse directly.

I wanted to be able to try naturally to have children, even though both of my tubed were blocked. I previously had another physician refuse to do the surgery. Gil explained the risks but still did what I as the patient wanted to do.

He's very open and honest. He's not one to beat around the bush.

As a couple my husband and I decided that we would only do clomid and then would stop trying with any other forms of medicine.

My insurance covered all of my costs.
