Your Family Fertility

Dr. Krystene DiPaola is a wonderful person. she made my husband and I feel very comfortable and very welcomed at her new practice that she opened recently. she takes the time to talk to you face-to-face and explains everything thoroughly so you're not confused. She's very compassionate and very human. She she doesn't act like some robot or like you are just some number to her. She goes out of her way to call you just to make sure that you're okay and see how things are going and what you wanted to do for your next step. During this pandemic of covid-19 I have had a televisit with her over the phone which was wonderful. I cannot express more how grateful I am of her. it's not everyday you find someone that you're comfortable with that is as compassionate and understanding is she is.

She knows what she's doing. She's very knowledgeable, very understanding, very compassionate. She takes the time to speak to you one-on-one just to make sure that you understand everything 100%. And it doesn't matter if you asked her a thousand questions even if it's the same question over and over again. She's still going to answer it. Because she knows that thie can be a confusing and crucial time and she's there to help.

Due to the infertility and being diagnosed with PCOS, Dr.DiPaola recently prescribed me to Clomid, and I'm currently on my first cycle. I take 50 mg twice a day for 5 days. As of right now I'm on my last day to take it. we have not seen any results yet other than the symptoms that you received from the medication. My symptoms include hot flashes and extreme mood swings.

At first I had a high-deductible plan when I first started seeing Dr DiPaola.. the initial consultation was $175. Every appointment after that was $75. She wanted to schedule me originally for an hsg exam at a facility but the out of pocket expense was extremely hefty. So my significant other spoke about everything and we decided since we already didn't want to do anything out of wedlock due to personal beliefs we were going to wait until we got married to go further with treatment planning. now that I am married and I'm under my husband's health insurance visits are much cheaper and the hsg exam is now covered. The medication that I was prescribed was on the cheaper side. It luckily was covered and was only $7. Which was wonderful news!

Dr. Diapola was fantastic to work with- she is very caring and genuine and pays close attention to details. She explains everything in an easy-to-understand way and makes sure you are aware of your chances of success as well as any negative outcomes that could arise. I cannot recommend her enough!

Come prepared with questions! She is willing to answer anything. If you have any sort of hesitation or reservation about a treatment option speak up and she will be more than willing to explain or investigate alternative options for you.

I have PCOS and am an over-responder. Because of this, we decided to forego IUI with injectables (due to chance of multiples, as in more than 3) and move straight to IVF. During my retrieval, I was monitored closely to prevent OHSS and Dr. Diapola included a "down regulation" with Ganirelix after retrieval to further assist in preventing OHSS. I also did not respond to Ovidrel so she was sure to trigger me with 10,000IU of Novarel in each subsequent cycle after this discovery.

Every step of this difficult process was made easier with the kindness and compassion Dr Dipaola gives each patient (and their significant other). She was very knowledgeable and adjusted treatment slightly each cycle to improve results.

Choose her over any other dr in the area!

Dr. Dipaola's main goal for my IUI was to increase egg quantity and size. With that in mind, she adjusted medication when needed and had frequent ultrasounds from day 3- IUI to monitor.
