From the very first consult my husband and I felt very comfortable. He made eye contact and explained everything in detail. Anything infertility related is emotional and he always made sure to talk in a tone that made it seem like he did in fact understand what we were going through. He is a very personable doctor and takes the time to get to know you as a patient. Whenever we walk through the door we feel like we are at home. When our 3 IUI cycles resulted in negative pregnancy tests he explained IVF in lots of detail and answered any questions that we had. We are very confident mentally and spiritually that we will conceive when we do our IVF cycle in a month. Dr. Isaacs gives us hope while also telling us the things that potentially could go wrong, which i feel is very important as sometimes it takes a couple of tries!

Write all of your questions down! He is happy to answer any and all questions in a very open matter. Do not be afraid to ask a question or tell him what you’re feeling... your doubts, your anxiety. He is aware that the patient feels these things as he feels them with you!

I did 3 rounds of 5mg Clomid days 4-6, went in for a baseline ultrasound on day 12, and then he told me when to trigger for our IUI. My husband and I both have had all the test done prior to seeing Dr. Isaacs and we both check out fine. The trigger was mainly to time my ovulation, even tho I already ovulated on my own! Now that we are doing IVF, they have given us a detailed calendar about our shots. We start that in 2 weeks!

It was 1,000$ for 3 IUI’s and 11,000 for IVF cycle up to transfers (until a positive pregnancy). Meds not included!

Dr. Isaacs, in our case... unexplained infertility with no problems and age, likes to transfer one embryo at first. We are happy with that since sometimes transferring two can lead to multiples!

He's one of the best doctor's I have ever met. He makes everything understandable, when I have a question he answer each and every one of them. He's very attentive, patient, and understanding. I have always felt well informed about our situation and treatments. He made us feel at ease and very comfortable. I have already recommended him to some friends and will continue to do so.

Ask all the questions you need to answers to. If you have to write them down do so. Make sure you understand everything that he's explaining to you.

We had already been trying on our own for a few years. We went to doctor Isaac and found out there was a low sperm count. So he decided IUI would be best for us. So I was put on letrozole low dose and for cycle day 3-7 went back on cycle day 12 to do vaginal ultrasound and there was one egg on the left ovary i think a size 11 and one on right side leading a size 10. He up my dosage of letrozole and we came back a week later and the egg was a 18 we took trigger shot home and it was administered around 6am the next morning and that following day we were in for IUI at 8:30am with 12,000,000 sperm. Was told to wait 2 weeks take a test and we did as told it was negative. So we started the cycle over again this time using letrozole 7.5mg 3-7 day of cycle. We went in on day 12 and egg on left side was a 11 so he changed meds to clomid 100mg and we were told to come back in a week. Ultrasound was done egg was a 18 were took trigger shot home and got it that next morning. Following day IUI was done with 13,000,000 sperm. Two week wait test was negative. We wait a few months went back this year in Feb he started me on clomid 150mg cycle day 3-5 went in on a Monday egg was a 13 he told us to trigger that Saturday night and we went in for IUI that Monday morning with 400,000 sperm. Ended up negative. We have been back in for another consultant and we are either going to do 3 more rounds of IUI or IVF

We had a bundle deal for $1300 it was for 3 IUI's. We paid $90 for each trigger shot total of $270 we paid $18 for clomid once and $40 for clomid.

I think when a person doesn't have any kids at all If they wanted two embryos transferred, they should do it. I do understand the risk.

Dr. Parry is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. He strives to treat each patient the way he would want his family treated. He answered countless questions, even when I challenged what he was telling me. He remained patient and always was respectful of my wishes. Dr. Parry is especially knowledgeable related to mullerian anomalies. He was able to do a septum resection for me and I am now 18 weeks pregnant. He is constantly working to grow his knowledge base. He is also on the cutting edge in terms of less invasive and more accurate diagnostic testing for infertility and recurrent miscarriage.

Don't wait, call for your appointment!!

I had an in office hysteroscopy (Parryscope) that helped him evaluate the external contour and internal appearance of my womb. He also was able to get an egg count and check tubal patency at that time. He then offered IUI with femara and trigger shots, which I declined. I went on to have 2 miscarriages and d&c's. I went back to dr. Parry and had another parryscope to reevaluate the womb for scarring. I went on to have a 3rd miscarriage. I then requested a pelvic MRI from my regular OB to verify bicornuate vs septate uterus. Once bicornuate uterus was ruled out and septate was confirmed I went back to dr. Parry. He reviewed the MRI images and confirmed the diagnosis. He then performed a septum resection. I did a balloon catheter for 3 days post resection then 30 days of estrogen therapy. 2 months after my septum resection I became pregnant and am currently 18 weeks

3 rounds of IUI for $1000 $2500 for septum resection surgery in office $850 for in office Parryscope

Dr Isaacs has always been a great listener and very accommodating for my wife and I. Like many fertility doctors, he seemed to lean more towards IVF as an option, but after we expressed our desire to stick with IUI only (for both religious and financial reasons), he supported our decision 100%.

Let him know right away what your expectations are and your comfort zone, and he'll do an excellent job of staying within that

We did Clomid for a short time but stopped after we hit our limit of exposure. Afterwards, we did a semenanalysis and determined that I was part of the issue as well--our chances of conceiving naturally were around 5%. This led us to IUI. My wife was on a FSH medication for the two weeks leading up to the IUI, and we gave her an HCG shot at home 24 hours before the procedure. I was also given some dietary and lifestyle advice for improving my sperm count.

We paid $1000 per 3x IUI attempts and all related procedures as a bundle. Any additional blood tests were comparable to any other health clinic

N/A

He is very personable (& soft spoken). He is thorough and never makes me feel “rushed”.... he makes sure we are clear with everything before walking out of the room & reminds me that if I do have any questions, I can contact him.

Have him or his nurses write everything down for you because it all gets VERY overwhelming and you’ll forget good details that you need later

Expensive!! Every time we went, I left spending $200-$400. IVF/retrieval meds were $3900, IVF procedure $9,950 and blood work, etc paid when we went

He reminded me that people come to him to have A Healthy baby so that is what he strives for. When you go with multiple, there are additional risk for the momma and babies. He suggested with my age and quality eggs, that 1 was recommended

Dr. Isaacs is very honest about our infertility trouble. He does not sugar coat anything with our troubles. I admire that because it doesn’t give us false hope. He is sure to show his face each visit and answer any questions my husband and I may have. I never feel like he is rushing me if I have a question.

Be patient and completely honest with him. He wants what is best for you but it may take time for it all to work out.

He wants me to be as stress free as possible. When we first started seeing him in 2014, I was only 26 years old. My age was in my favor and he made sure that I knew that. He sat down and explained everything in detail. I am not able to ovulate on my own and he went through that with us. After finding the correct dose of medicine, we did three rounds. We had no luck so we agreed that we wanted to try 3 IUI’s. Him and his staff was always available 7 days of week. After the IUI’s did not work we discussed IVF. He went into detail with how it would work. We began and completed a successful cycle of IVF. I have one 2 year old perfect little girl. I went back to him about 7 months ago to begin trying for number 2. We have only taken Femera and been unsuccessful. We want to do IVF but we are in need of the funds for that.

IVF itself cost us about $12,500. We did three IUI’s that were a total of around $1,000. We have done a recent ultrasound to check for ovulation that cost us about $200. We did a frozen transfer so we had to order more medicine that cost about $2-300.

He was comfortable implanting two embryos because I was only 26 years old.

I feel like he explains things well. He is laid back and makes you feel comfortable as a patient asking questions. I chose him because I was told he wasn't always as aggressive and we didn't want to do IVF however now we are wanting to look at taking that approach. We didn't think we would be finaicially able so I can only speak from IUIs.

I feel like he really leaves decision making up to the patient so I would say know what you want to do or be frank and ask for his medical opinion.

We have only done IUI, 6 cycles. We always did an ultrasound on day 12 and then would decide about what day to receive the HCG injection and then do the IUI the following day. The first couple of times I feel like we did it too late. The 3rd time was on target and resulted in pregnancy followed by a miscarriage at 11 weeks. The last 2 times seem to have maybe been too early.

3 IUIs with ultrasound $1000 HCG injection $85 each cycle Clomid $10

I feel as if one of Dr. Isaacs strengths is that he explained the IVF process to my husband and myself in simple terms. He showed visuals to help explain how the retrieval and transfer processes work. One of his weaknesses I feel was the fact that he was very to the point (which my husband liked). I like someone that shows a little bit more emotion when talking about something so serious.

Do not go in thinking he is going to “sugar- coat” the information. He is going to be straight forward with you in regards to your treatment plan and sometimes for a woman first starting on this journey it can be scary!

We are beginning the IVF process at the end of April. After Dr. Isaacs got my AMH results back he chose my medication protocol. A few days later he added a medication to prevent OHSS.

You have to pay for IVF 2 weeks before you begin medications. The Whol IVF process costs $9,995, which doesn’t include medication.

Dr. Isaacs only recommends transferring 1 embryo at a time. The only time he mentioned possibly doing two is if a patient is much older.

He was so kind and gentle. Made me feel very at ease. Always explained every step of the process and what to expect. I always left feeling fully informed and hopeful that “this treatment would result in a pregnancy”. Even when the odds were very low, he supported me and was a cheerleader of sorts.

Call him today!! I owe my miracle baby to him and his team. Stop thinking about taking the next step and just commit

We started off with a hysterscopy - where they fill the uterus with a saline solution and view the inner lining and the Fallopian tubes with a small camera. Then he got my consent to take part in a clinical trial (which has now been patented and named the Perryscope) of testing my tubes for patiency by passing a small air bubble through the tube and watching the results. He explained every step of the procedure and prepared me for any discomfort - which was minimal- prior to me feeling anything. After we competed this procedure, it helped him develop a plan of care that included Letrozol for ovulation, hcg injections to trigger the release of the egg from the follicle, and IUI. The worst part about the process was that I had to drive over an hour on day 12, sometimes day 14, day 17 and then day 21 every cycle. It felt like I was there very often. After the 3rd round of IUI, I finally had my first real positive pregnancy test and that pregnancy resulted in my now 3 year old daughter. When I went back for a consult to try for a second baby, he remembered me and my history and asked all about my child which left a lasting impact on me.

Everything was out of my pocket. Insurance didn’t cover anything. All in all it was around $5000 total but completely worth every penny

Dr. Parry explains everything to me in easy-to-understand terms. He is very caring and wants the best for my family and me. He is very personable and seems to care about our lives outside of our fertility issues. He is very knowledgeable about female health and has personal experiences that allow him to relate to what we are going through.

Go in and just talk to him. He will wash away your fears the first time you meet with him.

Dr. Parry prescribed medicine for me to begin my period. I called the clinic on the first day of my cycle and they called in another medicine to help my eggs grow. I took that medicine on days 3-7 of my cycle. Then went into the doctor on day 12. When I went in, he did an ultrasound and noticed he needed to up my medicine. I took the higher dosage for a few more days and then went back in for another ultrasound. That dose seemed to work much better as I had an egg ready to ovulate on the second ultrasound. My husband gave me a shot 36 hours before my IUI appointment. Unfortunately, the first IUI did not work but the next round seems to be going much smoother as my dosage worked perfectly and I have just completed my second IUI and I am in my 2 week waiting period.

First consult - $150 Parryscope Procedure - $850 3 Ultrasounds and 3 IUIs - $1000 Extra ultrasounds - $175

Dr. Parry explained how the conditions I had, were preventing pregnancy. He was clear about what procedures I would need, and always had a plan for my future. Even when I was upset with test outcomes, he was patient and compassionate -- explaining that there was still hope.

Trust Dr. Parry, even if you're nervous about what you will go through. He will be by your side the entire time.

My treatment began with a consultation visit, followed by blood tests and the Parryscope diagnostic testing. Surgery came next to remove cysts, fibroids, polyps, endometriosis, and an adhesion. 3 months post surgery, we began 3 rounds of IUI using Letrozole on days 3-7, sonogram on day 10 or 11, a trigger shot of Pregnyl or Ovidrel as directed by Dr. Parry, and then insemination.

I initially paid a consultation fee. My insurance reimbursed that, due to the necessity of surgery. My insurance covered all of my testing leading up to my surgery. 3 months post surgery we began with 3 rounds of IUI. The 3 rounds of IUI with 1 ultrasound each time was $1000. We did have additional expenses of around $700 for the 3 doses of Letrozole, and about $360 for 3 injectables.

I have nothing but good words for Dr.Parry. He explained to me about his new technology,The Parryscope. I opted to do this instead of the dye a lot of doctors do. I got my shots from a pharmacy he trusted and they gave a discount rate for patients that use his clinic. (This helps bc of most insurances don’t cover meds.) His bedside manner is well, he was able to talk with my husband and me openly and made us feel apart of his family. He gave us all the options we had. I could always call/text him personally and he would respond within a few hours.

He tries to be very personal and makes you feel like your the only patient he is concerned with. He is worried about seeing his next patient, you have his full attention.

We did IUI with my husband’s sperm. I took a shot days before and took Fermara days 5-10.

3 IUI including the ultrasounds for each one before to see how many eggs was $1000. This doesn’t include $100 shot and letrazole/femara.

I had a great experience as a patient. As I said before Dr. Parry was always very kind and never in a hurry. He would always be sure to explain what to expect next. I always felt at ease whenever going to see him, because he has great bedside manners.

I know I must sound like a broken record by now but I can’t stress it enough that Dr. Perry is a wonderful physician but also so down to earth. Some people might find him to be a bit odd, but I think that’s just his passion for helping people shining through.

I did 3 rounds of juice. Before each insemination he would have me come in for an ultrasound of my ovaries. Then in about the 3rd day of my cycle I would take letrazol for a few days and then about 12 hours before insemination I would have to get a trigger shot. I would have to lie back for about 10 min after and then wait. None of the attempts were successful. Dr Perry then suggested that maybe surgery would be helpful for me because I had a few fibroids. So. Had the surgery done to remove the fibroids. I have not gone back in for another round of iui yet but I plan to really soon.

I had a one time fee that I had to pay up front and that covered the costs of everything minus the medications and shots.

I think his way of being very compassionate shines through in his office visits. I always felt he was not in a hurry and that I was the only patient he had to see on that day. He always makes sure that myself and my husband fully understand each procedure and the things that can happen. He shared the good and bad sides to every procedure with us.

Trust him and listen to his advice.

My first procedure was a hystescopy to make sure I did not have damage from 2 previous miscarriages year as ago. Then my husband had to have a biopsy to removed tissue that our embryologist used to separate out the sperm. We were so relived that she was able to find a lot of sperm. When we began the shots I had no issues at all, but at the first app. my estrogen level was 3 times the level it should have been. So we had to reduce my medication. On the day of the retrival Dr Parry and his nurse were already concered as my kidneys were not working that great. And during my retrival Dr Parry told my husband that I had fluid in pelvic and that I bleed a lot worse than he had expected. We were so happy to hear that we received 23 eggs. On day1 we had 20 that fertilized, day 2-4 we had 14 embryos. But come the day of transfer we were told we had two good embroyos and that they were not hopefully we would have any to freeze the next day. We were both an emotionally mess during the whole transfer. On my 1st embryo transfer I had retained a lot of fluid and I had a hard time getting enough water in me for the ultrasound due to my kidneys not working. Over the next two days I spiked a fever and gained 15 pounds over night. After a visit to the hospital and some medication the fluid slowly started coming off. All the progestin shots killed my hips and they were covers in bruises. We had to wait 3 days extra due to Thanksgiving to find out that our embryo transfer didn't work. The only blessing that came out was that I was healthy and that we had 4 embryos that look good enough to freeze. We decided to start another transfer immediately. So began the estrogen pills. At my first app to check on my lining Dr. Parry discovered that it was not at all the thickness it needed to be and that I had a hemorrhagic cyst that was starting to dissolve. So we waited another week and increased my estrogen pills from 3 times a day to 4 times. And we just had to hope and pray that the next week things would look better. The next week the cyst was gone and my lining was at 13. So we scheduled my 2nd transfer(frozen embryos). My husband and I were nervous but we belived that this was going to be our time. Our transfer was very laid back and we felt good about it. We just knew as we drove home that at least one of our two embroyos had taken and we hoped both had. 12 days later I received the news that we were not pregant. Heartbroken doesn't even began to describe what we felt. We are in the process of begin another transfer and this will be our final one, because we only have 2 embroyos left. We have discussed it and financially we can not afford another round of IVF.

Hystescopy was $750.00 Sperm retrival analysis was $1,500.00 IVF was $12,500.00 Medication was $5,500.00

Dr. Parry left or transfer number up to us. But he did feel that transferring 2 embroyos each time was a better option due to our age. We agreed with Jim because we wanted the best chance. But he always left the decision up to us.

He sat us down and explained everything and drew pictures to make sure we understood each process. He never pressured us, but told us our options and what he suggested. He was kind and friendly. He included us on everything and was hopeful with us, cheering us on.

Be ready for each potential outcome.

He recommended IUI. He prescribed clomid and told me to come in for an ultrasound on the 14th day of my cycle. He pinpointed which day I should ovulate and told me when to take the trigger shot. We then went back for the insemination on the specific date he requested. He adjusted the dates according to when he thought I would ovulate each cycle. We did this for 3 cycles in a row.

The consult visit was $250 and the 3 rounds of IUI were a package deal of $1000. I had to have one extra ultrasound which was around $175 and the trigger shots were $89 each cycle.

I believe he did everything exactly how it should have been done. I felt comfortable and confident he did everything to the best of his ability. The only thing I wasn’t fond of is one insemination was actually performed by his nurse instead of him. Not that I don’t think she wasn’t capable, but it made me feel better when he performed the procedure himself.

He was very attentive and patient. You could tell he absolutely cares about our feelings and our experiences. He explained in detail and questions or procedures. He gave us his personal cell number to call if we had any questions as well (which was a big deal to me...not that I would use it but he cares enough that we could interrupt his personal life with his family in order to make my family feel at ease with any questions or concerns we had). I honestly cannot day enough great things about him.

Be open and honest about your struggles and what you’ve done so far. He was the third doctor I had seen so it wasn’t my first rodeo. I told him my frustrations of previous treatments and he adjusted my care plan to accommodate what I knew wasn’t working (of course he did this as in agreement to my care and no just because I said to. He reviewed my charts, etc. so I didn’t dictate what was happening). But he listened and agreed that those treatments didn’t work for me and put a care plan together that did work. So be open with everything and trust him. He’ll help come up with the best care plan and cost effectiveness for your situation.

I honestly don’t remember dosage and names but I would take a pill to grow my eggs and then take a shot to force ovulation and egg drop. Then we did IUO treatments. I got pregnant twice (one miscarriage and one successful live birth with a wonderful baby boy whom we love!)

$1,000 for every 3 IUI treatments.

Dr. Parry is by far the very best doctor I have every come to know. After seeing 2 doctors before him.... we knew we were finally in the right hands with Dr. Parry. He knows his reproductive medicine but also treats you as an equal and you can truly feel his compassion and want for you to conceive and goes well beyond his duties, I believe, to make you feel valued.

I have done so with many of my friends and aquainteces when sending them to Dr. Parry. “You WIlL NOT be disappointed with Dr. Parry” 100% positive you will be extremely pleased!

I Was on oral medicine lettozole cd 3-7 and a trigger shot on cycle day 12... with the insemination being on cd 14. He wanted to be sure not to overstimulate me being that I have pcos

I researched a lot of doctors and had been to 2 doctors before I found Dr Parry. He was the MOsT reasonable priced doctor out there. He also offers bundle discounts which gave me a lot of peace of mind.

Dr. Parry is very inviting and easy to talk to. He does not talk down to patients, nor does he talk in a manner that makes it hard for patients to understand the medical terminology. He ensures his patients have a thorough understanding of everything, and doesn’t hesitate to answer any and all questions a patient may have.

I would tell prospective patients to listen carefully to what he has to say. While you may have your own ideas about what you want, he will let you know the best options to give you that, even if they differ. He will always do what is best for his patients.

We paid about $8000 for IVF with ICSI, which included 1 fresh transfer and 1 frozen transfer. We later paid about $2000 for the 3rd embryo transfer. We paid for the medications separately through a mail order pharmacy, which cost us about $9000 after insurance.

The first embryo transfer was a fresh transfer, and it was decided that only one embryo would be transferred. After the fresh single embryo transfer failed to produce any results, the next transfer was with two frozen embryos. Again, that transfer failed to produce any results. The third and final transfer was again with two frozen embryos, which resulted in a single live birth.

He is very thorough with his knowledge of IUI and IVF. He is up to date of percentages of luckilyhood of pregnancies. He always greats us with a smile and loves seeing pictures of our daughter. He considers every patient family.

I would tell them to trust what he says. He is awesome at what he does, and they would be in great hands

Our first cycle was 7.5 mg of Letrozole cycle days 3 through 7. Day 16 was insemination. That resulted in a negative, so next cycle we switched days up. 7.5mg Letrozole days 2-9 and inseminated around day 16. That resulted in pregnancy of our daughter.

Dr. Parry’s prices are amazing. For IUI, he offers 3 tries with 3 vaginal ultrasounds for $1,000. For IVF, he offers 4 transfers for $9,950.

Dr. Parry does suggest only putting one embryo in first IVF transfer but will do two if the patient wants to.

He made sure we knew and understood what was the problem and what our options were. He communicated everything so well. He is very encouraging! Very kin hearted! And he loves the babies! Every year he has a IVF reunion so he can see all the babies as they grow.

Stay strong! Stay positive! And if you have a question always ask! There is no such things as a stupid question.

We were blessed to have had help with out coast between a discount for being employed by UMC and a grant from Pay it Forward Fertility Foundation. Our totally for the procedures and meds was right at $15,000 but we only care out of pocket about $3,000

He recommended one transferring one embryo due to the risk with multiples. My husband and I still wanted the two transferred.

Dr. Parry is kind and caring. You can tell he is very passionate about his work. He always took the time to answer any questions we had. I trusted his judgement completely and I don’t feel like he did any unnecessary monitoring or testing. I cannot think of even one negative thing to say about Dr. Parry.

Ask all of your questions because he will take the time to answer them.

I did three IUIs with Dr. Parry, all with letrozole days 3-7, follicle check on CD 10. If needed, additional days of letrozole and another follicle check. I took Hcg trigger shot when instructed.

There was a “package” deal that included three IUIs with one follicle check per cycle for $1000. I believe additional follicle checks were $200. My meds were very inexpensive at the University Medical Center pharmacy. Ninety letrozole tablets were like $30, I think, and my Hcg trigger shots were $30, too, if I’m remembering correctly.

He’s an amazing doctor. He explains things very well and he makes sure myself and my husband understands everything. I never felt uncomfortable during any of my procedures. He drew pictures for us to make sure everything was clear. I’m a women’s health nurse but he still took the time to make sure i understood every thing and my husband as well.

Write down any questions that i May have. He will sit and talk with you at your visits and sometimes you may forget what u want to ask.

Letrizole, hcg, then IUI

$1100-IUI plus meds

I felt like just another patient with Dr. Isaacs. As a nurse myself, that hurts. To them- infertility is normal, but ya not when you are the patient. After 3 failed IUIs he wanted to go straight to IVF without looking for possible problems.

Don’t be afraid to ask for more tests to be done. And speak up for yourself. You are your own advocate.

Femara days 5-9- to aid in egg production (2-3 eggs resulted each cycle) Pregnyl- to induce ovulation (days varied depending on egg size) IUI 32 hours after Pregnyl. (No pregnancies resulted.)

Lab expenses and IUI package. Approximately $1800
