Allen Morgan

Dr. Morgan has been our sense of hope throughout our infertility journey. Even though we’ve been under his care for a year now, it wasn’t until a few weeks ago that we found out our final course of action! From initial appointment he set expectations and shared with us ideal situations based on the treatment course he had planned. He discussed the what-ifs and answered every and all questions we have had. He is so kind and compassionate, and extremely patient. We have never once questioned our ability to trust him.

Trust the process! Dr. Morgan is there to help you!

Before seeing Dr. Morgan, we had been TTC for a year with no success. I had a gut feeling something was wrong. My husband had been seeing a urologist for prostatitis, and we explained what had been going on. He ordered a semen analysis and I visited my obgyn for prelim testing. My ultrasound came back great, but my husband’s analysis did not. Our first appointment we discussed my husband’s results of zero sperm. My husband has naturally low levels of testosterone, so he had been prescribed test and had been taking it for a bit. Dr. Morgan had a feeling this may the main reason behind the zero sperm count. Previously, my husband was prescribed Clomid, but he had a very bad reaction to it (increased anxiety and depression-unmanageable) Dr. Morgan explained to us how HCG will likely be the best option for us. HCG will go right to the source rather than having to go through the brain to signal to everything like Clomid. My husband began HCG injections back in June 2019. We knew it would be about 4-5 months until we saw any results, so with a few labs in between and a follow up SA in December, we learned his sperm count went from 0-300,000. Dr. Morgan upped his HCG dose in the hopes of it increasing his sperm to a more ideal level. At the end of February we learned his new count was 1,000,000. Before receiving the results, Dr. Morgan explained what the ideal situation would be if we got to a certain count, and if we didn’t IVF would be our main option. We could have jumped into IVF after the first analysis, but our insurance doesn’t cover it at all, so Dr. Morgan was hopeful for maybe IUI, but unfortunately, my husband’s count is just too low for that. Our plan now is to continue the HCG injections (2x a week) until we can afford IVF. Ideally, we are targeting September for IVF due to finances and the pandemic.

We are just getting to cost now for IVF and we’re surprised to find out that due to my age and our treatment course, we will receive some sort of a “discount” we were quoted $10,900 not including medicine which would be an additional ~$1,500. If we don’t need PGS or frozen embryo transfer, then It could be less.

He explains treatments, protocols, and results clearly while showing compassion and empathy. Even when results are as expected he always has a plan for the future. He dedicates time to answer all your questions and makes sure you have all the information you need to make proper decisions.

Take notes and ask questions.

2 timed intercorse cycles using clomid and an ovidril trigger shot. - negative and resulted in thinning of utuerine lining 2 timed intercorse cycles with letrozole and ovidril trigger. - small size follicles and both negative betas 2 timed intercorse cycles with tomaxifin and ovidril trigger - both negative betas 2 iui with follistim and ovidril trigger -both negative, anxiety increased substantially with follistim. 4 iui with Gonal F and ovidril trigger -all negative Exploratory laparoscopic surgery was performed one month after last cycle. Results are normal. Diagnosis is unexplained infertility

Co pay 25 per visit. Blood work and ultrasounds were covered by insurance. All meds were out of pocket and attained at a separate pharmacy.

My situation is different than most insofar as I have no known fertility issues, and have been using donor sperm. Given my age, we figured we would try a few IUI’s and then proceed to IVF. The doctor was realistic with me and provided statistics, so I was not upset when the IUI’s failed. I am moving to IVF and was explained the procedure and the statistics in that regard as well.

To bring a list of questions to the consult and do some preliminary research on IUI/IVF in advance.

Three IUI’s with 50mg Clomid. As a hopeful single mother by choice, I am concerned about multiples. He therefore kept the dose somewhat low, and we agreed not to do IUI with injectibles on account of an increased risk of multiples. Given my age, he has recommended genetic screening of any embryos I may yield before transferring them. I feel as if the treatment plans are tailored to me personally.

The co-pays are $50.00 a monitoring session. My estimate for one retrieval and 2 transfers is about $14,000 exclusive of medications and genetic testing.

I believe we discussed only transferring one embryo in on account of concerns of multiples.

I first saw Dr. Morgan in 2016. I would say he has become more personable since I first met with him. I don't need someone to be warm and fuzzy, just to the point, but I can see that Dr. Morgan has made an effort to become more empathetic and personable. He does not do the monitoring appointments, but is usually available after the ultrasounds if patients have questions. He makes it a point to sit in an office near the nurse station so patients can approach him. When I first met him he told me I would get pregnant with IVF. I though that was really bold since it doesn't work for everyone. But with both transfers he has done (single) I have gotten pregnant. Apparently I do not respond as quickly as others to stims, but he did not let me know that. I wouldn't say he was hiding anything from me, but not stressing me out over something I really can't control anyway. This I appreciated, we are already stressed out enough with all this. He patiently answered my questions (I tend to do a lot of research) and did not brush off things I had heard of working, but told me if he thought they would/would not help my case.

I think it was the standard antagonist protocol. He also likes patients to be on DHEA & COQ10 for a few months before retrieval to help with egg quality. The first time my follistim was about 250 units and Menopur 150. He did not have me on PIO shots, just endometrium. The second retrieval was 150 units of follistim and 75 of menopur. Both resulted in about the same number of eggs & blasts (there was 2 years almost between retrievals and in between i did another cycle with another doctor who used very high stims and I had terrible results, so more is not better). I have endometriosis and low stims typically are better. The second time he originally planned PIO shots, but my husband can't give them so I asked if I could just do crinone gel, and he agreed. My progesterone was low and I said I would take the PIO, but he just put me on oral progesterone as well.

usually not more than a 30 min wait

if you self pay they do work with you on the costs to discount services. They also have funding programs through ARC

He seems to be more for single embryo transfer. My husband and I were very clear that was all we wanted to do and there was no push back on that approach.

As I said before I only saw Dr. Morgan twice the whole time I was a patient of theirs but that was all I needed to get pregnant. He seems very knowledgeable and experienced in his field and I felt very confident we would get the results we hoped for.

Be patient, there are a lot of visits you have to get through but they have you in and out as quickly as possible because they understand people have jobs. They open very early so they can get you in and out before your job even begins.

Before you begin you have to have a procedure to check your fallopian tube‘s and make sure they are not blocked. After that I was put on Clomid to help me ovulate and given hormones to release my egg. After that I was given an IUI and became pregnant the first try

My insurance covered all of the costs however if I needed in vitro I would have to pay out-of-pocket

Dr. Morgan is very knowledgeable. Although I didn’t see him for every appointment, when I did, he explained everything about the next procedure. I never did a new procedure without seeing him first. As a patient it was very easy to trust his diagnosis and treatment because he was very confident about potential results.

Advice that I would give to a new patient would be to trust his judgment and do not use Google for your answers.

With Dr. Morgan we initially tried doing IUI. Unfortunately it resulted in negative pregnancy tests. During the time of IUI I used clomid. Because in our circumstance it was the male infertility factor, IUI was not going to be successful for us. After doing the IUI’s we moved on to IVF. During IVF I used many hormonal drugs. It was a very stressful process for me, but because I knew that it wasn’t the female factor I felt confident on my end for positive results. My husband on the other hand went through a lot, mentally. It was hard for us to hear about his infertility. Unfortunately it was extremely expensive as well. But, Dr. Morgan told us we could do ICSI to get a positive result and we did. We then decided to do PGS and freeze the eggs that remained after the embryo’s were all tested. I did one frozen embryo transfer and the result was our son that is a few months old today.

IUI were all covered by my insurance however IVF was not. The medicine was extremely expensive as well as the cost of the procedure. We spent about $25,000 total for everything we did.

Because of my age and the male infertility factor my Doctor seemed very confident doing a single embryo transfer. It resulted in a live birth of our son.

Dr. Morgan is a smart doctor and He diagnosed my endometriosis when other doctors ignored me. But he is always in a hurry, always sounded irritated with spending more than a few minutes answering questions and he had ZERO compassion. He had no idea how to treat a patient with any form of care. During an ivf consult where he told me 80% of my ovaries were covered in endometriosis and ivf was our only option. We were shocked at the price and he actually laughed & told us to think about the fact that it’s still less than buying a new car. During an SHG, he walked in , sat down and while i was in the middle of asking what the SHG results will tell him, he shoved the speculum into my vagina without warning and ignored my question. Of course i knew what was happening but he has zero tact and has no idea how to treat a patient. Most doctors will give a brief warning. . I never Saw him during my failed ivf cycle but on one occasions he did my ultrasound. He walked Into the room, didn’t say hello to me and i just felt upset the entire ultrasound because of his cold demeanor. I never Made it to egg retrieval because after 10 days of stims I didn’t respond. On day 6 of stims I knew Something was wrong because my follicles weren’t growing. I questioned The nurses but they Insisted dr. Morgan said everything was fine and no changes were needed. I was never explained by him what happened .

I would tell them to look eisewhere. Infertility is an Increfibly hard journey and if your doctor doesn’t make you feel confident or ease your worries it’s going to cause a lot of unneeded stress. The stress the staff caused me was unbearable

I started taking birth control pills for about 9 days, then started lupron, then I started gonal f and menopur. The explanations I was Given as to wat each did was brief by the nurse and I had To research most of it myself. I never Knew what the next steps were until they were actually happening, I was Told I was Taking the lowest dose of all the medications. Very little information which was incredibly worrisome but I was Just trying to make the best of the situation

We were given a military discount and we paid $7800 upfront not including medications. They were in 3 checks . One was to embryologist lab, physician and cryopresertion ad storage. Once our cycle was cancelled before egg retrieval we called to pay for the monitoring visits upfront so we could get our money back. They had already deposited our checks. It took a couple of weeks to get the embryology and cryo checks back but they advised they had to wait until insurance approved the monitoring visits before we received the remainder. That took several weeks and then we owed the regular copays. The billing person Melanie was extremely kind, professional and explained things well.

Dr Morgan explains everything lab results,procedures, diagnosis, treatment, has multiple offices his staff is very pleasant and understanding it's just that our funds are exhausted right now but god willing hopefully we'll be able to have our family, and we've experience two other doctors that left us in the dark and we hope Dr. Morgan is the doctor to bring our dreams to fruition.

If you have the funds y'all get your oven bun!

Every other doctors I've been to said my infertility was unexplained Dr Morgan went in did every test from blood work to ultrasound to hsg and found out that I have adhesions which is why it's gonna be nearly impossible to conceive naturally. He also has a very high success rate and told me that with Ivf he guarantees a baby.

My insurance covers testing and certain aspects of my infertility and for the ivf portion that's gonna cost about 12,000 but the discount a little bit of the cost which we're grateful for but still out of financial reach.

Dr Morgan said it can be done with a single embryo transfer or if I don't mind multiples then he'd do the multiple embryo transfer its up to us.

Ultimately, he did his job and we were lucky and successful with our first IUI procedure. Dr. Morgan left much to be desired but his clinical staff made up for it. The hours were convenient and I did not have to miss work. Dr. Morgan did not explain things fully and was quite dismissive and distant. I was fine with it because I did not need to like him or feel warm fuzzies; I needed his skill set and it worked for us. Quickly worked for us, too. I think if I was unsuccessful under his care, I would detest him. I feel nothing toward him. His staff, particularly nurse Kelly was wonderful and helpful.

Try him out if he is covered under your insurance. Be prepared with the questions you want answers to as he will not explain much- if anything. Do not take his affect or personality personally and do your best to check your emotions at the door. If you want someone to be sweet to you or be invested in your well being as a person, consider another practice.

I do not remember all the strategies but I did have to spend a decent amount of money on two types of drugs that I luckily did not need in the end. That was annoying though-- trying to get the medications and trying to get them somewhat covered by insurance. I did get pregnant after 1 cycle of IUI but we did two inseminations (back to back days). One procedure was completed by nurse Kelly who was fantastic and other was completed by Dr. Morgan. I did have to have one injection at home that was emotional for me. I am impressed by the strength of women who have months- or years- of TTC. My year journey (and about a 1.5 months with Dr. Morgan were very taxing on me. I'd still do it again and am overjoyed with our sweet daughter. I wish we could afford to do it again to give our little love a sibling.

I think my insurance covered most and it was somewhere between 9-11 thousand. Please note that my genetic testing was done through my hospital at no cost and this was for one cycle of IUI.

No comments as we were beyond lucky to have been successful with IUI alone.

Dr. Morgan was always very straight forward with the process and answered our questions accordingly when we had questions or concerns. He would interact with us with ease and was confident in his capabilities and the process.

This process overall is a very emotional and time consuming process. Being patient is key and knowing that you are in the best care possible for each individual circumstance is important.

We initially tackled my endometriosis and once we took care of that - it was about repeating the cycles with slight adjustments in dosages. We needed to prove "infertility" in order for our insurance to cover IVF so we tried as many times as possible with IUIs (5 times) until we were able to produce enough times for the insurance to fully cover IVF. Once, we started trying IVF - it was a similar process but with more injections and adjustments of the dosages. Here is a sample: o Gonal F redi ject 75 units, take SQ injection in the evening o Menopur 75 mlU/ml, take SQ injection in the evening o 1/2 dose Ganirelix 0.25 mg, take SQ injection in morning o Metformin ER 500 mg o COQ 10 200 mg, take 200mg in PM o DHEA 25 mg, take 1 pill morning, noon & night o Low dose aspirin 81 mg

The IUIs were not covered by our insurance but finance office was understanding and provided with some discounts. We initially paid out of pocket for first IVF until insurance kicked in (about $7,000). Once insurance kicked in they refunded us our money and we were all settled. Their financial staff was very patient, caring and tried to make the financial aspect of the procedure as seamless as possible. Melanie worked very hard with the insurance and was also very forthcoming in fighting for us to get the treatments that we were supposed to have covered.

The doctor's approach was the more transfers the higher the percentages. Initial IVF was a singleton therefore first IVF trial was a single embryo but second IVF was two embryos so both were transferred back in. Turns out they both stuck!

Dr. Morgan oversaw all of my care, but I had a woman do 2 of the 3 IUI's and another man do my egg retrieval and transfer. I believe they both left shortly after. He came highly recommended by a few people in my area as for helping them successfully have a child or children after years of not being able to conceive. So I am of course very grateful for his knowledge and expertise in helping me have a child and achieve the end result. However, I am not sure if I would return to him to go through the IVF process again. Part of me would want to find a dr that I am personally more comfortable asking questions and talking with. He had a way of saying he was the expert and not what I read or who else I knew that had gone through infertility. I understand he is the one with the medical degree in this specific area, but I often felt like he diminished my questions or concerns. For example I could say what a friend had used and asked do you think that could help in my case and he would brush it off. I know every women or couple is different, but he could be a little gentler with his approach or understanding as to how someone in my case with unexplained fertility could be wracking her brain to know what is it? Anytime someone has asked me how I liked who I used, I've said he doesn't have the best bedside manner but got the job done. My husband didn't think he was as bad as I did to talk to. But he also did not interact with him as much as I did. I've met another woman who had success with him after 1 IUI and felt the same exact way, that he'd be nice to her husband and talk down to her. If it weren't for the compassionate nurses, kind ultrasound technician and easy to work with billing staff I would not have continued there. I went for a consult with one other dr. after the 3 IUI's were not successful, but I didn't love the next dr and it was further distance so my husband and I felt like we should just stay with him. I am so grateful I had success with my first egg retrieval and transfer and have a healthy child but talking with Dr Morgan is no where near as comfortable as talking to my regular male obgyn.

Clomid with Ovidrel 1st IUI Gonal F and Ovidrel for 2nd and 3rd IUI's This was my choice to do a 3rd IUI, Dr. Morgan seemed to have recommended to move onto IVF, but I was wanting to try one more before moving to bigger process with IVF. For IVF Gonal F, estrace, Medrol, Lupron, Menopur, Metformin, Novarel instead of Ovidrel, Crinone 8% are listed under my file but I don’t remember the details.

I had a medical insurance plan that at the time covered all aspects of infertility treatment and medications. We were very fortunate to pay very minimal co pays and coinsurance %. I don't remember exactly but my estimate for meds was around $6000 before insurance.

We did not do any genetic testing on the embryos and I don't remember it being made to sound so common or like part of the process like I have heard from friends going other places. Or maybe we just didn't consider it much because it would have been around $5000 out of pocket and we were fortunate to have so much covered at the time. We probably paid not even $2000 total through the whole process, counting meds and everything.

Seems to be very competent and knowledgeable, but bedside manner leaves something to be desired. He does not seem to have much compassion, and makes you feel rushed during the few times you actually see him.

Do not expect much in the way of compassion. You will be disappointed.

Fertility shots, clomid, iui treatments all combined.

My cost was only the copays due from my insurance ($30 a visit) and the cost of the medications covered by my insurance (between $12 and $75).

Dr. Morgan was friendly and helpful. He did many tests and adjusted treatment accordingly. He was honest and caring. He didn’t lie or make you feel bad in anyway. He explained everything step by step and would even donate medicine when I was ready for iVF. I never felt like a number but a single patient like he had no others. Everything was done thoroughly. He even takes the time to reach out if you haven’t called in. From the consultation to every treatment including monitoring, he was always involved.

Make sure to follow every step you are given. Don’t miss any appts. And be patient.

First was testing and blood work and pin pointing any issues. Which were discovered early on. Blocked tubes. Knowing which side ovulation would occur on. Figure it out what needed to be done after blood work like vitamins and medications. Starting fertility pills and monitoring ovulation. Then following with trigger shots and blood work

I paid my copayment and my medication. My testing and treatment I had was covered. Unfortunately most meds and iVF are not covered

Dr. Morgan came highly recommended and I was thrilled that we chose him. We had a very successful treatment plan and it worked faster than I could have hoped for. My husband and I always felt like I was in the best hands and received the best care possible.

This process can be extremely frustrating and stressful at times, but if anyone is in need of a fertility doctor, I would highly recommend Dr. Morgan. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire process.

We tried just the chlomid and the shots and relations the first (3) treatments. The last treatment we decided to try the IUI since relations was not working on its own. Our first IUI we got pregnant. We just needed a little extra help.

My insurance covered all procedures.

Dr Morgan is great he is very truthful and he gives you all of your options and goes over the pros and cons and helps with what will be the right treatment for you. For me we ran a few test before we chose to try iui first with 2 negative pregnancy test we went forward with ivf

Listen to everything he has to say

I had tons of blood work and ultrasounds and I also had an hsg test I unfortunately don’t remember any of the medication cause there was a lot

I had my copays

Dr Morgan will only transfers 2 embryos at a time . When transferring multiple embryos you run the risk of those embryos to split and therefore becoming high risk

While I didn't have much personal interaction with Dr. Morgan, he put me at ease during our consultation and I trusted him fully. I know he was reviewing all my information after each visit and always said hello when I saw him at the clinic, even when he wasn't performing the procedures.

Ask all the questions you can during your consultation. He's extremely patient and very knowledgeable.

The standard IVF package with one fresh or frozen transfer was about $13,000 not including medications.

Dr Morgan is very professional and to the point. He is not the most chatty person but he always explains everything well and has your best interest at hand. He always listened to my concerns and made sure that I left feeling confident in the course of my treatment

Do not hesitate to take that first step and ask lots and lots of questions

For the injectables IUI cycle, I was on 2 different injectable medications for approximately 5 days. I came in for an ultrasound and blood work every few days throughout that cycle and was monitored very closely

Dr Allen Morgan is one of the best I have met. Going in this process for the first time he made me to understand everything I needed to know. I will always recommend him to anyone that need this kind of treatment.

Always ask him and he will explain anything you do not understand better to you.

IVF a clomid cycle.

Monitoring appointment was every other day any it was great because they work around my work schedule.

The treatment cost us out of pocket until insurance started to cover it. The total cost was 18,000

I think they should have ask me if I wanted a single transfer or multiple embryos but instead they just told me that one was enough because of the risk.

He was extremely professional and blunt from the beginning. I knew what I was getting from day one and I loved it. There was never any guessing. I was In his office several times a week and it was like a home not an office. It was very quick and easy. He gave me two beautiful baby boys.

Trust him. He knows what he is doing.

Dr. Morgan was always happy to answer all my questions and explain the process to me. He was also sensitive to the fact that I am Jewish and always wanted to follow Jewish law. I felt he had my best interest in mind. He made the experience as pleasant as it could have possibly been.

You'll get through this

We did a dose of clomid in the beginning of the cycle. I would come in for ovulation monitoring and I would give myself ovidril when told to do so.

The doctor was there for my own benefit and tried helping me out to the best he can possibly do. I knew I was in good care under him and his wonderful devoted staff. He was behind the scenes a lot but I knew that anything his staff relayed to me was coming from him.

Things will work out so you might as well enjoy the good company you have here:-))

I was on clomid and letrizol and just waited things out to take place naturally after that

I had to pay every other visits copay of 75 dollars when I had insurance and after that I had to pay a couple hundred dollars

Dr Morgan is extremely thorough. I was told by other doctors to keep trying to conceive despite repeated miscarriages. Dr Morgan took my concerns seriously and immediately began testing to find that I actually had an issue that was causing the miscarriages. I really appreciated that.

Give as clear a picture as possible so that he can perform the correct tests and treatment plan.

Baby aspirin daily. Lovenox as soon as positive pregnancy test. Prometrium until 12 weeks pregnant.

Covered fully by health insurance

N/A

Though Dr. Morgan is a more serious to the point doctor, I always felt that he understood my concerns and treated me and my husband with respect. He would pop in during ultrasounds and pop out just as quickly. His nursing staff made up for the quick interactions with their compassion and excitement.

Don’t expect a warm and fuzzy doctor. Expect a doctor and staff who will do everything they can to make sure you end up with a positive experience.

$20,000

Dr Morgan is very knowledgeable and he determined a great course of action for us, which he also adjusted when necessary. He took his time with us at appointments and was always very optimistic about our chances of conceiving, which reassured us a lot,

Clomid, Ovidrel, IUI, IVF

My treatment was fully covered by insurance.

I got the results I wanted in the end but felt the doctor should have done my IUI’s. Maybe it would have worked if he had done them. I also feel he could be a little more compassionate and discuss more what he thought was happening with me and why I wasn’t getting pregnant.

You will feel like a number instead of feeling an important patient.

I don’t remember

I had a lot of expensive copays and long with expensive medications, my insurance covered the procedures.

I was disappointed I didn’t get more eggs for the amount of injections I was doing.
