Alice Park

I first met Dr. Park coming in as an outside patient. She did all my ultrasounds to send to my out of state clinic. She posed questions, but then encouraged me to talk to my primary fertility doctor. She was always knowledgeable, which is a huge part to why I decided to switch to her clinic. She was very blunt at first, but I didn’t take it personal. Once I had my official consultation, she went over different scenarios and was patient as we asked several questions. During my mock cycle, she was able to adapt when she saw how my body was responding to the medications. She provided her input and let me know I could decide how to move forward. She is very informative, which I truly appreciate.

Come with all your questions and trust your gut. The treatment is ultimately up to you, but she is available to run through different scenarios.

I have only done my mock cycle/ERA/hysteroscopy. Dr. Park went over what medications she would recommend and for what purpose. She gave me different scenarios and had us choose which one to move forward with.

I have only done testing and monitoring so far. I was quoted for a frozen transfer and a full IVF cycle. Prices for FET were reasonable. IVF was on the higher end, but they do offer discount programs (on Full IVF only). They were able to show me comparisons of what costs would be with and without insurance.

At the beginning dr. Park was really attentive she gave us as much information as she could she gave us hope just with the whole situation of my husband going through diabetes after going to the second visit she really did not know what was going on with the visit that my husband had with the specialist she kind of told us that there was no hope because he was diabetic the only way of doing this was IVF artificial insemination was not a 100% sure she gave us 0% on success with this what I really liked about dr. Park she was willing to try doing artificial insemination even though the percentage was very low IVF was our last resource since she told us it was kind of expensive so at this point my only hope is to do IVF I still believe that we can try artificial insemination even with a lowe rate of success as I told dr. Park we've been trying for three years we've been married for three years and we've been trying to conceive naturally but since my husband is diabetic not having sperm come out I really believe that dr. Park is giving me the correct information to proceed with IVF I know IVF could be expensive in a long journey but we're willing to try every bit of Hope

One of the things that I would advise future patients with dr. Park make sure you be on top of every little test that she sends you to do so you can get results quickly make sure that you can be in contact with her by email so you can get better service since Kaiser just do appointments you need to be calling just make sure that every little thing that she sent you to two do for testing it's done and send email to confirm

The plan to proceed for fertilization was for my husband to start taking pills to produce sperm after having test done with sperm and urine test for my husband we were going to proceed with me having artificial insemination since hast been kind of impossible for my husband to produce sperm we have not been able to do any kind of artificial insemination The Next Step she told us to do was IVF and IVF is just out of the question at this point with us we're waiting on some urine test to come back to see if they're able to do artificial insemination with the urine since sperm is going to the urine

Our cause with dr. Park was not expensive since we have insurance through my husband's work the only copies we did was $5 every time we went to visit her no lab pay the only thing that is not a cover through our insurance is IVF

Dr. Park is very no-nonsense and to the point. Her treatment, with me anyway, was pretty aggressive which I appreciated. She is not the gentlest with her touch (AKA the wand) but I got used to that.

Don't be afraid to ask any and all questions and be very up front with her.

IUI #1 - 50 mg of Clomid, resulted in 2 good follicles, IUI resulting in negative pregnancy test. IUI #2 - 100 mg of Clomid, resulted in 3 good follicles, IUI resulting in negative pregnancy test. IUI #3 - She gave me the choice of doing Clomid + Injectables or Injectables only and explained the pros/cons. I went with injectables only (Menopur), can't remember exact dosage but it was all based on multiple blood tests & lots of ultrasounds. Only 1 good follicle resulting in negative pregnancy test. Prior to IUI #4 - Found multiple cysts on my ovaries from the prior cycle. Put me on birth control for 21 days. I was very discouraged and ready to give up at this point! IUI #4 - Injectables, 4 good follicles resulting in a positive pregnancy test! Currently 10 weeks pregnant with twins

Fortunately, my insurance covered the cost of 6 IUI's. I just had to cover our co-payments.

She was very knowledgeable on the process of what to expect. There were times I felt she was not so approachable when I wanted her to explain things a little more in detail. Of course she knows all the terminology to infertility. I do.not, it made me hestiant to communicate how I really felt at times. Her weakness is she is not approachable as a infertility doctor should be. She could not explain why I was not getting pregnant after mutiple ultrasounds, and other test pertaining to my fertility.

Do not be afraid to ask questions, this is your body and your future baby. Express to the doctor how you feel every step of the way. If you do not fully understand something ask Alice Park to explain it again.

I used clomid 50mg dose for 3 cycles with Dr.Park. I had a test done in my fallopain tubes where dye spilled out each end. The tubes were not blocked. I had mutiple ultrasounds to check for cyst or blockage. These test cams back normal. I was prescribed a higher dose of clomid for another cycle. But I have had two miscarriages since.

Under my insurance at the time it was free.

They recommended I have 2 embryos transfers.

I saw Dr. Park when she was working at Kaiser Fertility Fontana in late 2016. She was my main doctor for all my 6 IUIs starting with clomid and gradually to injections. She was encouraging and comforting every step of the way. She did what she could do for me and I truly appreciated it. Since Kaiser follows a protocol I am sure there's limited choices/tests she could give me. She gave me the facts and tried her best.

Go in with questions to ask her and all interventions she could/would explore to understand your fertility health status.

Dr. Park started with 2 cycles of clomid and kept adding more injections amount during the next 4 months. Finally my last cycle I had 3 follicles and did not result in any pregnancy.

My insurance covered all the costs.

none

Dr Park was really knowledgeable with Low ovarian reserve she didn’t prescribe me so much medicine because she didn’t wanna overstimulate me and try to have good eggs. Dr park advises that she would recommend me to do PGS testing since of previous chemicals but since we only had 2 embryo we declined since it’s to pricy. I also ask dr to see if she recommended ErA and she didn’t not sure if this would of helped with my success but not I don’t have any more embryos to try :( not sure if it’s eggs or good timing of transfer

She explains everything

With dr park we did 150 menopour and Clomid 150... we did not use ganirelix but we did trigger shot. We retrieve 8 eggs and she also did a sis and iCSi

I was charged correctly I haven’t received any extra unexpected bills

Dr provided us the risk of we transferred 2

ALICE PARK TOOK THE TIME TO EXPLAIN TO ME THE RISK AND CHANCES OF AN IUI WORKING. SHE WAS CARING AND TOOK THE TIME TO LISTEN SHE WAS NOT ALL ABOUT MONEY AND EVEN GAVE ME WAYS TO CUT COST SHE WAS AGGRESSIVE WHEN THE TREATMENT DIDN'T WORK BY UPPING THE DOSES. SHE

GO IN WITH A OPEN MIND. ASK QUESTIONS, HOPE FOR THE BEST BUT EXPECT THE WORST

I STARTED WITH CLOMID TO SEE IF IT WORK. AFTER THAT I USED INJECTABLES AND EACH CYCLE IT WOULD INCREASE. MY EGGS WOULD NOT GOOD QUALITY SO DR. PARKS THEORY THE MORE EGGS THE MORE OF CHANCE
