I could go on an on about how amazing I think Dr. Rodriguez is. The most caring and compassionate doctor I have ever met. He takes the time to get to know all of his patients. He is the sweetest and nicest and always took the best care of myself and my husband! ... hen I was with Dr. Rodriguez he made me feel like I was his only patient, which makes you feel so great. It makes you feel like he actually cares. You are definitely NOT just a number to him or his staff.
With everything including all special testing, PGD/PGS, uterine biopsy for transfer, retrieval, transfer, medication and all visits and monitoring it costs close to $30,000 ... Strengths are that they are a 1 doctor clinic [Texas Infertility & IVF]. I cannot tell you how much I love that. You always see your doctor, which is so great because you get to build a relationship with them and it is just much more personal.

How was your experience with Alfred Rodriguez at Texas Infertility & IVF?
I could go on an on about how amazing I think Dr. Rodriguez is. The most caring and compassionate doctor I have ever met. He takes the time to get to know all of his patients. He is the sweetest and nicest and always took the best care of myself and my husband!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Alfred Rodriguez at Texas Infertility & IVF?
He will do everything in his power to help you conceive and have compassion and understanding while doing it.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Alfred Rodriguez at Texas Infertility & IVF?
When I was with Dr. Rodriguez he made me feel like I was his only patient, which makes you feel so great. It makes you feel like he actually cares. You are definitely NOT just a number to him or his staff.
Describe the protocols Alfred Rodriguez used in your cycles at Texas Infertility & IVF and their degree of success.
I have an extremely complex case. We did test after test to make sure my body was completely ready to have a transfer. I wound up having two surgeries by Dr. Rodriguez to remove uterine fibroids and he got them all out. We always did a frozen transfer because we did PGD/PGS testing on our embryos because I have a chromosome disorder. We did injectables, the estrogen patches and progesterone shots. I don’t remember how long or how much. We also did a special biopsy that tells you exactly when the transfer needs to occur. After all of that we were ready to transfer.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Texas Infertility & IVF. (Assigned nurse: Linda, Angela, Lorraine)
All of the ladies were amazing! Linda was always very informative and was very honest, but in a compassionate way ( which was refreshing). She was very thorough and explained everything she was doing and what I was looking at. Angela and Lorraine were equally amazing very understanding and helped ease nerves. After going to them for so long you get to know them all pretty well as they also get to know you pretty well. So they would all always ask how my family and I were doing.
Describe your experience with Texas Infertility & IVF.
Strengths are that they are a 1 doctor clinic. I cannot tell you how much I love that. You always see your doctor, which is so great because you get to build a relationship with them and it is just much more personal. Another strength is they just have such an amazing team from Dr. Rodriguez all the way to the receptionist. I honestly cannot think of any weaknesses. One thing I would tell another patient is these processes take time so be patient and they will do everything they can to try and help you conceive.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Texas Infertility & IVF.
I loved having Linda do my monitoring appointments. She learned certain things about me so she knew exactly what to look for and how to navigate around obstacles. Also Dr. Rodriguez was also at all my monitoring appointments to check in which was great. Always greeted with a smile and asking us how things were going

Describe Alfred Rodriguez's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Texas Infertility & IVF.
Dr. Rodriguez always said they are our embryos and would never tell us what we were to do with them or how many (unless and excessive amount). He always told me what he suggested for my personal case which was to transfer one. He told me the risks of transferring multiple embryos and the risk of carrying multiples. He let me make an informed decision after giving me every detail of all scenarios. I listened to his advice and only transferred one at a time.

Dr. Rodriguez was very friendly and sensitive to the fact that we hadn’t been able to get pregnant. He was clear and concise about the procedures I would undergo, and never rushed anything, even though I was anxious to get started. He recommended I have an ultrasound of my uterus done before IUI to rule out any other problems, and it was there that I found out that I had uterine polyps. He never rushed me during appointments or made me feel like a number. He even answered the millions of questions my mom had for him as well! :)
The nurses [at Texas Infertility and IVF] were so caring and kind towards my individual situation. I felt like they truly knew me and remembered details about my personal life. Especially Linda!!...She was like a mother to me, so caring and compassionate, especially when calling me to tell me that the IUI procedures were unsuccessful....The total cost for each IUI procedure was $900. This included all appointments with Dr. Rodriguez, blood work, and the actual IUI procedure. This price did not include the medication which I had to purchase from a pharmacy, totaling about $200.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Alfred Rodriguez at Texas Infertility & IVF?
Go in there with an open mind. Although the doctor and nurses may be hopeful, always keep a level headed mindset that sometimes things don’t always work the way you want them to.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Alfred Rodriguez at Texas Infertility & IVF?
The nurses were so caring and kind towards my individual situation. I felt like they truly knew me and remembered details about my personal life. Especially Linda!!
Describe the protocols Alfred Rodriguez used in your cycles at Texas Infertility & IVF and their degree of success.
I was to take a medication that would promote follicle growth. I had to go in for sonograms to see if the follicles had begun growing. 24 hours before the planned IUI time, I was instructed to give myself the injection into my belly. After the IUI procedure, we did blood work about a week after to test progesterone levels, and then another blood test a week after that for the actual pregnancy test. Both IUI procedures failed.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
I absolutely loved everyone from the women who just took my blood to Linda, who actually performed one of the IUI procedures. She was like a mother to me, so caring and compassionate, especially when calling me to tell me that the IUI procedures were unsuccessful.
Describe your experience with Texas Infertility & IVF.
There were a few issues with billing/payment. 2-3 times I was billed and asked to pay copays, when I shouldn’t have. The staff quickly fixed the issue. The attitude of every staff member I came across was very positive and welcoming.

He iDr Rodriguez] is the best doctor I have ever come across. I have never met such a understanding and compassionate doctor. I feel like I am his only patient when he is with me and he reassures me all the time. I have been through a lot with him in the last year and he took his time to make sure everything goes right with my upcoming transfer!
His practice does not act like a factory, they take their time to diagnosis and treat you. Don't bother looking for another doctor just go to him right away. He was reffered to us by a good friend who had twins through him and I am so grateful he did....Its a wonderful warm and welcoming place. All the staff know who you are as soon as you walk in the door. Everyone is extremely friendly, kind and understanding.

Describe the protocols Alfred Rodriguez used in your cycles at Texas Infertility & IVF and their degree of success.
His protocol was different than my previous fertility doctor, he made sure he looked at everything very carefully. I required two surgeries after my retrieval to remove fibroids and he made sure it was done meticulously. We are currently in the process of doing a frozen transfer next month.

Dr. Rodriguez was incredible. I saw him at nearly every visit and he always greeted me with a smile and knew my name/where we were.... Again, cannot express how wonderful of a doctor he was. We experienced a full term loss before needing his services, so he was extremely sensitive and compassionate to that situation. He took so much time to explain processes to me and my husband.
I never waited more than ten minutes for an appointment [at Texas Infertility and IVF] and could always reach a nurse when I needed to. They always called back promptly if I left a message. The office also had Saturday appointments available when I needed them before my retrieval. Children were not allowed in the waiting room, which I thought was a very sensitive philosophy for them to follow for patients who did not have other children.

Describe the protocols Alfred Rodriguez used in your cycles at Texas Infertility & IVF and their degree of success.
My treatment first started with a hysteroscopy to eliminate fibroids and endometrial tissue. Following that surgery, I began prep for my egg retrieval using several injectables (I don't remember all the names). A few months after my retrieval, we proceeded with the transfer of one embryo.

Describe the protocols Alfred Rodriguez used in your cycles at Texas Infertility & IVF and their degree of success.
We starting with stimulation of egg development (sorry, I forget the drugs - all injectables), followed by a trigger shot and IUI. I was developing too many eggs and we had to abandon a cycle, so Dr. R. recommended we move to IVF. We started with Lupron, then the injectables to develop the follicles, followed by the trigger shot and retrieval. Started IM progesteron in oil following the retrieval to keep my lining intact. We transferred on day 3.
