She [Dr. Alexa Clapp] mentioned on two occasions once over the phone during our conversation re our cycle failing and in office how she reached out to other doctors in the office to assist our case. Although it was hard to hear that our retrieval failed she understood our need to take time before trying again and had a plan for when we were ready. She also performed my sis in office and walked me through every part of the procedure to but me at ease.

She mentioned on two occasions once over the phone during our conversation re our cycle failing and in office how she reached out to other doctors in the office to assist our case.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Alexa Clapp at Houston Fertility Institute?
Even if you don't have many questions during consult she was always easily reachable via email to answer questions I had later.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Alexa Clapp at Houston Fertility Institute?
We had several conversation before starting treatment where she answered our questions throughly. Even when our cycle failed we had answers and a new plan. When she didn't have the answers she openly talked about consulting her colleagues and sent me studies to answer the questions I did have.
Describe the protocols Alexa Clapp used in your cycles at Houston Fertility Institute and their degree of success.
After all of test results appeared to be normal and on the right track we used birth control to bring my levels down. Once my endocrinologist ok'd my A1c level to start it was gonal and menopur with ovidril starting half way through our tx. Growth via ultrasound was consist although there was concern my estrogen wasn't rising as expected. Before retrieval there were an estimated 4 eggs. Day of retrieval a different Dr performed my procedure, she found 2 eggs but was only able to reach one due to location.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
There are two main nurses on the office and although you have one that is assigned to your doctor each nurse is familiar with your case and can sub in for each other as needed.
Describe your experience with Houston Fertility Institute.
Over all communication was good until it wasn't. After my cycle failed I received two phone calls because in a months time my insurance became in network and the finance office called to update the information. The second call was from the surgery center calling to schedule my procedure, a month after I had already had a retrieval. This was the only time I felt communication could have been better.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Houston Fertility Institute.
I could schedule before work as needed sometimes I could be seen before the official open hours.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Alexa Clapp at Houston Fertility Institute.
We paid out of pocket the first round about 17000 medication was cheaper with the clinic discount verses my insurance.
Describe Alexa Clapp's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Houston Fertility Institute.
Due to being high risk due to age and being diabetic single embryo transfer was our best option for the safety and health for me and future baby.
