Review of

Aimee Browne Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas)

[Dr. Aimee Browne] is recommending we only transfer one but is okay with transferring multiple embryos...she’s very gentle with her words and she takes her time. Yet there are times when asking a question we receive a very broad answer. I am unsure if this is a technique to ensure that no promises are made but I feel like questions are sometimes avoided. Don’t get me wrong she’s a very nice and caring doctor...once we started asking the hard questions she would go around give an upfront answer. I want to know what the risks are completely upfront instead of being misleading. She is very sweet and very intelligent. I think she is afraid of destroying our dreams by giving us hope that might not be there.

[Aspire Fertility] quoted us over $16,000 for a basic IVF cycle with no meds and no sperm. We do not qualify for insurance benefits... I believe they are short staffed because we are constantly getting voicemails and sometimes I need to call again. But when you are addressed they are very helpful...I feel that there is a lack of communication between all the staff therefore they do not get back promptly. They all are compassionate yet the clinic needs to be more organized.

I feel she spoke to us with care but once we started asking the hard questions she would go around give an upfront answer.

For the most part she’s very gentle with her words and she takes her time. Yet there are times when asking a question we receive a very broad answer. I am unsure if this is a technique to ensure that no promises are made but I feel like questions are sometimes avoided. Don’t get me wrong she’s a very nice and caring doctor.

Describe the protocols Aimee Browne used in your cycles at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas) and their degree of success.

We are actually in the beginning stages where we are about to make a payment. Due to the payment being over 16,000 without meds, and my insurance not covering anything we have to wait a little longer. But we are suppose to do an egg retrieval, sperm donor and then a gestational carrier

he was such a delight to be around she always had a smile on her face when she would come into the room. She expressed disappointment in negative results with me. I always feel like she is on me side cheering me on. Looking for the best treatment for me. ... I moved on to RMA and was put on femara for my cycle ovidrel to trigger a couple of nights or night before my husband and I'd go in for our iuis.

They [RMA] know who you are each time you walk in that door. Sometimes they will overlook you only because they are so busy. They are often a little slow to call you back even if it's for blood work; or to call you back on the phone. It's best to email. Most of the time you will be the only patient in the waiting room. As busy as they are they are very organized. They have everything ready for you once you go in the back, the nurses will have all your paperwork filled out for you ready to go the same goes for check out. I love it. Get in and get out.

Let your guard down, and trust the process. It takes time to find the right treatment plan for each patient.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Aimee Browne at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas)?

Dr. Brownee and her staff took the time to explain everything to me, and during that time they constantly reassured me that things would be ok. They always support me, listen to what I have to say and cheer me on along the way.

Describe the protocols Aimee Browne used in your cycles at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas) and their degree of success.

I had used clomid with my obgyn and it resulted me becoming pregnant. I went back after having my daughter and did clomid for 5 more cycles each time I'd ovulate but success of pregnancy. I moved on to RMA and was put on femara for my cycle ovidrel to trigger a couple of nights or night before my husband and I'd go in for our iuis. Eventually we kept that same protocol and added in gonal f in. It was femara gonal f then ovidrel go in for iuis. Each time I'd make about 2 to 3 follicles. Once I had 4.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas). (Assigned nurse: Kristina)

They made each appointment easy they had everything lined out and written on how and when I was suppose to take my medication. If I need meds sent in to cvs specialty they did it right then and there. They showed me and helped me build the confidence to be able to trigger myself.

I really do not know what the actual cost were because my insurance covered my iuis and if I had not meet my deductible I could use my insurance card.

Describe Aimee Browne's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas).

When we talked about ivf I was told I would be given a single embryo transfer because twins would be considered high risk and the only way theyd do multiple ones would be if they were growing slower than they were suppose to at day 3 or 5 transfer.

Dr. Browne would personally call me to check on me during the injectable stimulation process and also called to give me the results of the PGS testing. ...

Dr. Browne said that if we did PGS testing we could only do single embryo transfer. We didn't when make it to that though.

I visited both the medical center and Stone Oak location [RMA of Texas] based on the day of the appointment.

How was your experience with Aimee Browne at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas)?

Dr. Browne was honest and open with me about the process and the chance for success. The only thing I wish was different is I didn't always see her for my checkups during the STIM process and she wasn't the one that did my retrieval.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Aimee Browne at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas)?

Be very honest about your fears and if you have any known risk factors (i.e. overweight, smoking, etc.).

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Aimee Browne at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas)?

Dr. Browne would personally call me to check on me during the injectable stimulation process and also called to give me the results of the PGS testing. Although we didn't have any viable embryos for transfer, she was delicate and understood my frustration and pain. She was also candid and honest in providing me reasons why our IVF cycle may not have been successful and what we could do different with the next cycle.

Describe the protocols Aimee Browne used in your cycles at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas) and their degree of success.

I did IVF premium with PGS testing. I chose to have PGS testing because I wanted to make sure we transferred an embryo without any of the tested genetic defects. At the time, there was no known egg quality problems so we were more concerned with quantity. It included daily nightly STIM injections with Follistim 150u and Menopur 150u for 7 days. I added Ganiralex the last 3 days in the morning. Then I did the Pregnyl trigger shot. I had a positive beta test and was scheduled for egg retrieval the next day. This yielded 13 eggs, 12 were mature, 6 fertilized. On day 1 and 3 I still had 6 embryos. By day 5 I only had 1 embryo to send for genetic testing. The results came back a week later and it was not viable for transfer. The embryo was mosaic for Turner's syndrome.

Aimee Browne Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas)

most interactions with Dr. Browne I felt like a human. There was one IUI where I was in a gown waiting for her to come and do the procedure for almost an hour...that time I felt like a number...She was kind, didn't try to rush me, and answered all of my questions. She has a great bedside manner and was encouraging when needed. My reasons for switching doctors didn't have anything to do with Dr.Browne personally.

Overall everyone [at RMA of Texas] was really nice and answered all of my questions throughout the process...Setting up appointments can be tough in the beginning. It wasn't until after I was on a timed schedule that it got easier for me. Also, the other location at Stone Oak was difficult at times. I had more billing issues there than anything else...most interactions with Dr. Browne I felt like a human.

How was your experience with Aimee Browne at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas)?

I was referred to Dr. Browne by a friend and I'm so thankful I for that. It was the first step in the process that led me to where I'm at today. She took the time to walk me through all of my available options. She was kind, didn't try to rush me, and answered all of my questions.

Describe the protocols Aimee Browne used in your cycles at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas) and their degree of success.

My insurance covered 6 IUIs (lifetime), so given IVF isn't covered and I wasn't ready that was the route we chose. She thought there was a chance I had endometriosis, but didn't think it was necessary to address at the time. My husband had slight motility issues, but again nothing dramatic that needed to be addressed. We could have done timed intercourse with Clomid but chose to go straight to IUIs given we'd already had one miscarriage and we weren't getting any younger! IUI #1: 50mg Clomid for 5 days, trigger shot, insemination at 36 hours post trigger. Failed cycle confirmed via blood test. IUI #2: 50mg Clomid for 5 days, trigger shot, insemination at 36 hours post trigger. Failed cycle confirmed via blood test. IUI #3: 5mg Femara for 5 days, trigger shot, insemination at 36 hours post trigger. Failed cycle confirmed after negative HPT and period starting. IUI #4: 5mg Femara for 6 days, 2 Menopur injections, trigger shot, endometrial scratch, insemination at 24 hours post trigger. Failed cycle confirmed after negative HPT and period starting.

Aimee Browne Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas)

Dr Browne spoke to us plainly and honestly. She wanted to truly help and have her plan of treatment -which was also IVF. She provided explanation and when we expressed concern about expenses, she provided options.... Dr Browne truly cared and wanted to help as much as she could. She listened to our concerns about the financial responsibility and provided options. I was actually referred to Dr Browne by a friend of a friend and was bery happy with the referral

The clinic [RMA of Texas] was very organized and in the know. When we were expressing concern about our financial situation and initially only being approved for under half the cost of IVF, ($6500) Dr Browne and colleague offered to us an option that would keep $6000 of the cost in house—with no interest and time to pay the clinic in full. By this Time it had been a few more months, I had undergone the hysteroscopy and we applied again for a loan with same company and we were denied completely.

Dr Browne spoke to us plainly and honestly. She wanted to truly help and have her plan of treatment -which was also IVF. She provided explanation and when we expressed concern about expenses, she provided options. Even that she wanted to start a program that could assist those like us needing it. We were asked if we were interested in speaking to one of the administrators about this option.

Describe the protocols Aimee Browne used in your cycles at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas) and their degree of success.

We didn’t get to start a whole lot with Dr Browne. I did go through my second hysteroscopy. Had a $3500 insurance deductible and had 6 months to pay this off with the surgery center. And denied a loan for IVF. Financially, we were unable to move forward.

My husband also was having a difficult time at work (car sales) and we were having a very difficult time financially.

We seemed to be hitting road block after roadblock.

I do not recall the actual breakdown of costs. We didn’t really get to that point.

Describe the protocols Aimee Browne used in your cycles at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas) and their degree of success.

I remember that the clinic does not use injectables. She recommended at least 2 more rounds of IUI with an increased dosage of clomid, from 50mg to 100mg. I only produced 1 follicle, and the IUI was not successful for me, but it was a good try, and much more affordable than going straight to ivf for us.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Aimee Browne at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas).

A cycle of IUI including ultrasounds and labwork was 1300.00, not including meds. Clomid is very inexpensive though. The ivf procedure was I think around 8-10,000, not including meds, which can range from 2,000-4,000.

I found Dr Brown, down to earth and genuine and the fact that she had had her own experiences with infertility and shared this with me made me feel at ease. I found her examinations of infertility to be very thorough and she discussed the results and explained our options which made me feel less stressed. She answered everything we asked very patiently.... She explained that I would receive a complete blood history diagnosis for my egg reserves and hormone levels and any other health issues that I may not know of.

The staff [RMA of Texas] are friendly. They dont keep you waiting too long to see the doctors. A weakness is that it is very difficult to get hold of the doctor to speak with her or get a message to her. And to get a response.... I found some of the nurses in the financial department to be not very clear at communicating clearly about the costs expected from me. I found some nurses not very enthusiastic or clear in communicating certain procedures I was to experience.

How was your experience with Aimee Browne at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas)?

She had her own story. (with infertility). She shows compassion and empathy.She took the time to explain the results from the testing and she explained what the next steps would be. I felt positive after my experience with her. She was helpful and provided referrals for my husband and his issue.

She explained that I would receive a complete blood history diagnosis for my egg reserves and hormone levels and any other health issues that I may not know of. She said this is a standard protocol. The next strategy was a call from the clinic to come in for an examination procedure and to get my tubes checked to see if their was a blockage. The next strategy is, I was called in to for a procedure to get my uterus checked. (This was administered by Dr Arrendando in the same clinic.) The results were positive.

Aimee Brown is patient and understanding. She is knowledgeable and professional. I have a uterine anomaly and she was professional in discovering this while also being realistic about how that has been affecting our chances. She had a clear plan moving forward. ... she explained everything very clearly on a medical level and a layman level. My husband and I both appreciated that. She wanted to reallly get to the root of the problem and she was encouraging and positive. ...

We switched because they only do FET. We wanted to try fresh. It made us nervous because sometimes you may not have any to freeze but you could have transferred a day 3...while at RMA [of Texas] you couldn’t. Knowing nothing about how I would atom or my egg quality etc, we wanted to at least have the option of a fresh cycle. In retrospect, the only cycles that ever got positive pregnancy tests were FET. So maybe they’re on to something.

She was considering doing surgery to fix my uterus shape but my particular shape cannot be fixed with surgery. We did our entire work up with her and because we felt restricted (by insurance ) on time, we transferred to a different clinic that would do fresh transfers; RMA only does frozen.

They were organized and compassionate. They were working hard but kind and had time to answer any questions or track down the doctor or paperwork needed. They all work well as a team and it seemed a good work environment for them too.

Describe your experience with Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas).

We switched because they only do FET. We wanted to try fresh. It made us nervous because sometimes you may not have any to freeze but you could have transferred a day 3...while at RMA you couldn’t. Knowing nothing about how I would atom or my egg quality etc, we wanted to at least have the option of a fresh cycle. In retrospect, the only cycles that ever got positive pregnancy tests were FET. So maybe they’re on to something.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Aimee Browne at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas).

I don’t remember. I’m sorry.

Review of

Aimee Browne Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas)

Dr. Brown has excellent bedside manner. Really jumps in, and gets to figuring out what’s going on. I thought my first appointment was just a consult, but she did an exam, and much more. I felt at ease with Dr brown. She has lots of accolades around the office of articles she has published and magazines that have write ups about her. Her office is warm and welcoming, dimmed lighting, soft music. It’s a comforting place to be when dealing with infertility. Which already takes such a toll on you emotionally.

You may have to wait in the lobby longer than your appointment time [at Aspire/RMA of Texas-SA]. But that’s pretty typical for a doctors office. And really I only waited at the consultation appointment. Every other appointment I was seen quickly. The staff You do check out with is not as warm as the others, I feel.... The nursing staff was kind, warm and welcoming. Extremely compassionate.

Maybe to do research on the price of things... everything at the clinic is great. They explain things very thoroughly and I would give you the advice to go see Dr Brown!

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Aimee Browne at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas)?

We were taken into Dr. Brown’s office, which felt a little more personable than sitting in an exam room. She showed a power point presentation that covered costs and statistics of different treatments. She was very warm, shared about her own experiences with infertility. Showed compassion when it was needed.

Aimee Browne Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas)

I was shown a power point and talked to like everyone else. My age was a big factor and that was something that was brought up repeatedly even though my numbers all looked fine.... Aimee Brown was very personable and explained everything very clearly but again I felt like a number instead of an individual.... The strategy was to do an IUI a couple of times with clomid than a trigger shot for insemination.

Everyone is very nice but again they [RMA of Texas] show you a PowerPoint and it’s just not personable. The doctor is very personable it’s almost like she is forced to show this PowerPoint. I wish they looked at me as individual instead of someone who was older and there was only IVF as an option.... Everything was paid by me my insurance didn’t cover anything. The IUI was about $1000 and the shot was $100.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Aimee Browne at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas)?

Be more assertive, I wasn’t very because this was all new to me. I should have been more clear as to what I wanted and that was a more natural way of conceiving instead of jumping to IVF. I should have asked for more blood tests etc.

I truly love Dr. Brown. She took her time in explaining everything, was very thorough, and was patient and kind in answering all our questions....I couldn't have asked for a better doctor. She made us feel so comfortable with our entire journey of infertility. She explained everything in detail to my husband and I, and took time answering all questions and concerns we had.

The entire staff of RMA is beyond helpful....This clinic has a support group, which i found a tremendous help. This journey is so emotional and to know that you have support with people going thru exactly what you are is beyond helpful. To know they are on your side helps you get thru those tough days....The process is never easy but Dr. Brown will do everything in her power to put your mind at ease.

[Dr. Browne is] Warm, friendly, smart and attuned to the patients needs. Easy to talk to and ask questions. Very optimistic but truthful when it comes to describing chances for success. Sometimes I wish she would be a little more prepared before she saw me instead of let me look at your chart. But this happened very rarely....Great bedside manner. Took time to explain process and all procedures.... I have only done IUIs with this doctor.

My nursing coordinator [RMA of Texas] could have been more organized. She once drew blood for the wrong tube and asked me to draw my blood again. The other nurse who does all the blood draws and room assignments is extremely grouchy, borderline rude.... Strength: always available weaknesses: both clinics are not the same. I would recommend getting everything done at stone oak versus medical center because eventually you will have to go there.

I had HSG in September 2016 performed by Dr. Brown. The result showed that my tubes were clear. We had our first IUI in November 2016. I was on 5mg of letrozole from CD3-CD7. I had my initial ultrasound on CD 3, and a second ultrasound on CD 11. The second ultrasound showed that I had a follicle on my left side with 17mm in diameter. I was told to do the trigger shot on CD 12 at 9pm, and had the IUI on CD 14 at 9am. We also followed the RE's instruction to have intercourse again on the same day CD 14 at night. I started the progesterone suppositories twice a day since DPO 3. I found out I was pregnant on DPO 12. I just gave birth to a healthy baby boy last week, and I am so grateful to have this baby.

How was your experience with Aimee Browne at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas)?

I believe that Dr. Browne was a great practitioner during my time under her care. I do believe that the biggest issue that I had was the lack of continuity. I try to give the benefit of the doubt, due to the pandemic. However, during my time with the practice, my husband and I experienced a "surprise" naturally occurring pregnancy. Ultimately it resulted in an early loss, but I did not feel that there was sufficient follow-up to discuss next steps, particularly because the pregnancy was unexpected for us, as we'd previously been told for years, by multiple doctors, that IVF was likely our only option for conceiving. I attempted to follow-up with the facility multiple times; however, I did not receive any correspondence and ultimately left to receive care at a different practice.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Aimee Browne at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas)?

Take ownership for the care that you receive and if you are not receiving the information that you desire, be persistent.

Dr. Browne had a good bedside manner and treated me warmly during visits.

Describe the protocols Aimee Browne used in your cycles at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas) and their degree of success.

After blood work, it was found that I had high prolactin levels and had a MRI completed. From there, it was discovered that I had a small pituitary adenoma. I started medication for the adenoma and the same month conceived my first known pregnancy. I'm not sure if there is a causal association between the two conditions, but it was a welcome surprise regardless of it ending in an early loss.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas).

When I first started with the practice, I received timely responses and coordination from the nursing team. However, as time went on, it seems that the communications became less and then non-existent. I attempted to make contact via email and the phone. When I was able to get in touch with a nurse via phone, I was told that I would be contacted by my actual nurse, but never received further correspondence. I believe that the practice started out very strong but then tapered off. Up until that point, I was very happy with my level of care.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Aimee Browne at Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas).

Insurance did not cover any costs related to fertility treatments, so services were out of pocket, with the exception of blood work. For example, a semen analysis costs approximately $100. IUI would have costs approximately $1500.

Describe your experience with Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas).

The only complaint I have is their phones they never pick up. Its so hard to get through and the times I've left messages, I never got a call back or it took days to get a call back, sometimes my issues were already resolved. I understand they are very busy, but they should at least have someone calling back.

Aimee Browne Aspire Fertility (formerly RMA of Texas)

Dr Browne performed all the testing necessary to try to find the cause of our RPL. During my last miscarriage, she searched and searched for a heartbeat. Her compassion shows in every visit and you can tell she really wants you to succeed.... Femera plus trigger shot for iui. 1 cycle bfn RPL: progesterone, prednisone, baby aspirin, prenatal vitamin, weekly ultrasounds. 1 cycle, miscarriage... Dr. Browne is so sweet and really cares.

They [Aspire Fertility/RMA of TX] have 2 locations. Both have very supportive staff and physicians. Physicians do perform all of the ultrasounds so you get results right away. pretty much everything is done on site which is super helpful.... Iui about $1100 per cycle Costs seem on par with other clinics. Labs and some other procedures were covered u see insurance.... Kristina was easy to get in touch with and answered any questions
