2021 - 2022, Unknown Success
My experience with Dr. Omurtag has been outstanding...he has made sure that all of our questions have been answered and explains everything very thoroughly. He also allows me to be an active participant in my care...He can also speak to research/data which is important because he is able to provide an explanation as to why abc will work and xyz won’t. While I wish I didn’t have to see Dr. Omurtag, I can’t imagine using any other physician for infertility.
My [Washington University School of Medicine - St. Louis] clinic is very organized and communicates promptly. The staff is extremely friendly and I’m always greeted by name when checking in with reception. The clinic is associated with a teaching hospital, so I’ve found they don’t really offer treatments that don’t have much backing by research. They are however willing to refer you somewhere else to get those treatments if you so wish.
How was your experience with Kenan Omurtag at Washington University School of Medicine?
My experience with Dr. Omurtag has been outstanding. He truly understands that infertility affects many aspects of a patients life and acknowledges it as well. Each time my husband and I have met with Dr. Omurtag he has made sure that all of our questions have been answered and explains everything very thoroughly. He also allows me to be an active participant in my care, and has never told me yes/no without looking through my chart to determine what is the best course of action. He can also speak to research/data which is important because he is able to provide an explanation as to why abc will work and xyz won’t. While I wish I didn’t have to see Dr. Omurtag, I can’t imagine using any other physician for infertility.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Kenan Omurtag at Washington University School of Medicine?
Have questions ready to ask at appointments, he really wants to make sure you’re an active participant in your care and that you understand the process.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Kenan Omurtag at Washington University School of Medicine?
Every time I’ve gone to my clinic I’m greeted by the receptionist by name. Anytime when working directly with Dr. Omurtag, he addresses both my husband and I by name and even asks about our toddler. I always feel I have ample time to ask any questions I have and never feel rushed.
Describe the protocols Kenan Omurtag used in your cycles at Washington University School of Medicine and their degree of success.
If I remember correctly, we used an antagonist cycle for my first egg retrieval. Based on my labs and antral follicle count, he thought I would respond well to that protocol, and I did. We then did a fresh transfer that resulted in a chemical pregnancy, so we ran more labs and found out I may have APS. Due to the possible APS diagnosis, we added in a blood thinner (lovenox) and a baby aspirin to my frozen embryo transfer protocol. Sadly that transfer ended in an ectopic pregnancy. We’re currently waiting for my cycle to do some more testing prior to starting another egg retrieval cycle.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Washington University School of Medicine. (Assigned nurse: Kathy)
I have nothing but good things to say about the nursing staff at my clinic. My primary nurse is Kathy, but I have worked with others as well. They are all very caring and have called to check in after different procedures. They are extremely communicative as well, I have never waited more than a few hours for a response to my questions through mychart.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Kenan Omurtag at Washington University School of Medicine.
I’m extremely lucky and have insurance coverage at 100% for IVF once my deductible has been met, so it’s hard to determine the exact cost.
Describe Kenan Omurtag's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Washington University School of Medicine.
Due to my age/my husband’s age and our diagnosis, we will only transfer one egg/transfer.
