Review of
Dr. Kallen always treated me with respect and compassion. I always felt like she remembered me and my personal details, I never had to remind her of my choices or concerns once I expressed them...she has listened to all my concerns and carefully and thoroughly explained all her recommendations. She never makes me feel like she is ordering me to do anything - she gives me all the options, tells me what she feels is best and why, and lets me make my own decisions...
Every single nurse I came into contact with [at Yale University] was helpful, friendly, and communicative. Online messages and phone messages were always answered quickly...Communication and compassion were always present and strong with all staff I came in contact with...The IUI procedures I did were all self-pay. I don't remember exact costs, but they were around $2500 for all the necessary monitoring and procedures. Both of my IVF cycles were 100% covered by insurance, so I don't know what the out of pocket costs for those would be...
How was your experience with Amanda Nicole Kallen at Yale University?
I feel so lucky to have been assigned to Dr. Kallen's calendar for my initial consult. She has always treated me with dignity and deep compassion, and I trust her completely. Although I have not gotten the results I hoped for (yet), she has listened to all my concerns and carefully and thoroughly explained all her recommendations. She never makes me feel like she is ordering me to do anything - she gives me all the options, tells me what she feels is best and why, and lets me make my own decisions. My fertility journey could not be in better hands.

Describe the protocols Amanda Nicole Kallen used in your cycles at Yale University and their degree of success.
I did four IUI cycles, two unmedicated and two medicated. The IUIs were all self-pay, and Dr. Kallen was very conscious of helping me cut extra monitoring to help save money. I then moved to IVF, which were both covered cycles. After my first failed transfer (that left me with no frozen embryos), Dr. Kallen adjusted my stims and recommended ICSI, both of which improved my results in my second cycle. Although my second cycle just failed, I do have frozen embryos that I will be able to move forward with.

Describe your experience with Yale University.
I think there were no issues or problems I have had throughout my experience at Yale Fertility. Communication and compassion were always present and strong with all staff I came in contact with. The only doctor who was ever short with me (who performed one of my IUIs) has left the practice. I would have no hesitation in sending friends or family to this clinic.

Describe Amanda Nicole Kallen's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Yale University.
Dr. Kallen was very thorough in talking about the risks and benefits of eSET and multiple embryo transfer, and helped me make the decision that was best for my family and desires. She never pressured me, just gave me all the available information and answered all my questions so that I could make the best decision for myself.
