Andrew Moore

As a patient of Dr. Andrew Moore, I overall have had a mostly positive experience. I heard once that everyone who has success with a doctor, will have great things to say about the doctor. While others who do not have success, usually have negative things to say. I’ll try not to let my lack of success sway how Dr, Moore actually is as a doctor. He is very kind and soft spoken. He has great bedside manner and I appreciate that. He is understanding and wants only the best for his patients. He is especially understanding when it comes to the financial aspect of infertility treatments. Something I liked about him is that he gave me the options and possibilities, then I could go over with a nurse what it would entail financially and whatever worked best for us, he would support. One thing that he lacked is the ability to communicate and explain things clearly. I often left with questions and concerns that were not addressed. I often found myself calling a few times a week to ask about things that were never brought up. This happened more times than I would have liked. But on that same note, if I were to ask questions, he would always answer. He is just not the greatest about explaining as you go. During follicle checks, I was constantly having to ask what things meant or if that was good or bad. This could be frustrating. Dr. Moore has overall been a great doctor. He is realistic and will tell you what the likelihood of things are, yet he always remains hopeful and positive for you.

I would tell them to make sure you make it a point to ASK about anything you want to know and to not assume it will just be told to you. Come in with a list of questions every appointment.

I first started with medicated cycles. This was just Femara 5 mg. My body did not respond at all. Next month we tried femara 7.5 and it did not work. We tried this again and then we realized the follicles that grew a tiny bit, turned into cysts. They went away on their own. Then we tried Femara 7.5 with an HCG trigger shot. No success. Then we tried Femara 7.5 with 75 IU of Gonal F every other day for a week and an IUI. Still no success.

Costs were very reasonable. An ultrasound was about $300. Follicle check was $190. An IUI was $400

I thought Dr. Moore was very kind and personable. He took the time to explain options and went through my history thoroughly. He was very knowledgable about fertility treatments and options. I think had I never done fertility treatments before, he would have been a great place to start. The downside to visiting Dr. Moore, for me, was his dismissal of some health conditions that I have as non-issues, as well as not wanting to pursue the treatment course my husband and I were hoping to (gestational carrier). I appreciated his education and option discussing, but because my husband and I have dealt with infertility for six years, we felt pretty confident in what we did and didn't want to pursue. I wish I'd felt more supported in that or had him explain further why he didn't want to pursue that course. Dr. Moore also promised some meetings/visits with a few other doctors and specialists, including at his clinic, and those never occurred. The clinic never reached out to us again after our consultation.

I wish I would have been more assertive in what we wanted to pursue as treatments upfront, at the beginning of the meeting. I would say speak up quickly. He is very kind but took us down a rabbit hole of treatments we weren't interested in pursuing at that time.

We ended up not pursuing any treatments with Dr. Moore.

Dr. Moore is a wonderful doctor with a very gentle bedside manner. He is upbeat yet subtle. He has been a great doctor. My experience with infertility has been nothing like it should as far as what usually happens for people. But he has taken the curve balls in stride and helped me to know I was not alone in feeling frustrated and sad for it not going as planned or as we had hoped. He is a busy doctor, but I do feel that he try's hard to be personal and real about every situation.

I would say to make sure that you ask as many questions as you want to be answered. Dr Moore will answer any questions at all that you may have, but I sometimes felt like I would have to ask first if I wanted to know. I would say bring a written down list of questions to every appointment!

I started medicated cycles with 5mg femara, then moved to 7.5mg femara and then 7.5mg femara and ovidrel. I then moved to 7.5mg femara and 75 IU Gonal f for three days, then 7.5mg femara and 75 IU Gonal f for 6 days and an IUI. All were unfortunately negative and my body did not respond super well. It was a lot of trial and error, but I always felt in good hands with Dr. Moore.

I really love Dr. Moore and how he expresses care, celebrates each positive outcome, compassionately shares negative news and explains things clearly. I appreciate how much time he spends when meeting with us. I trust his experience, knowledge and advice and feel well cared for as his patient.

To keep an open mind. I did not think we would need IVF, I thought it would be more simple. But after testing we were told IVF was our best option. We decided to try two medicated iuis first which failed. We are now trying to save for IVF which will be self pay, no insurance coverage. I trust that Dr. Moore will always be straight forward with us with our odds, whether something is worth trying again, what steps we should take next and what our realistic options are. I feel like he is knowledgeable, pays close attention to details and is good at listening to what we feel comfortable with. He is good at communicating and is compassionate which is important to me. I feel like he is cheering us on!

We chose to do two medicated IUI cycles in hopes to avoid the cost of IVF. The treatment included Letrozole (pills), ovidrel (injectable) and Gonal F shot. We got a good response from my ovaries each time. I had for follicles the first IUI and three the second IUI. I also expressed concern about my progesterone levels because of recurrent miscarriages. I started progesterone vaginal suppositories after the IUI procedure both times and took it until we got negative tests. I preferred to do blood tests and my office was great about listening and addressing any concerns I had.

IUI cost was $400 plus medications. I also did diagnostic testing such as a hysterosalpingogram, genetic testing, blood work, etc. they have been working with my insurance to see if we can get any of these covered. If we pay out-of-pocket I think it will be around $2000. We were quoted $18,000 for IVF which from my understanding would include medication, egg retrieval, genetic testing, and also an extra procedure to retrieve the sperm. But we haven’t finalized anything with that yet.

After my first IUI failed, Dr. Moore called me personally, after hours, to talk about next steps and see how I was doing. He’s very good at adjusting protocols, even in the middle of a cycle if need be. He gives his expert opinion, but ultimately leaves your treatment up to you and how aggressive you’d like to be. He’s so kind and trustworthy and I feel so well taken care of by him and his team. He answers all my questions without making me feel stupid, and he’s personally invested in the success of his patients.

Definitely take a list of questions with you so you don’t forget to ask anything important!

My first monitored cycle with Dr. Moore, he started me on 2.5 mg of femara and while I responded well at first, my follicles did start shrinking. He acted fast and started me on 7.5 mg immediately and I was able to get 2 follicles and used ovidrel to trigger. My first cycle of IUI was also 7.5 mg femara with ovidrel trigger. I got two follicles, but I didn’t get pregnant. My second IUI, he reduced my femara dosage to give my follicles longer to grow, so I took 5 mg and and ovidrel trigger. My third IUI, we did 5 mg and trigger again, but the response wasn’t quite as good. No pregnancy. What was supposed to be my fourth IUI, we did 7.5 mg femara and 75 iu gonal f every other day (three gonal f injections). I only ended up with one follicle, on the side of my blocked tube so he determined it wouldn’t be worth doing an IUI and we just did TI. After that month failed (expectedly), we decided to move on to IVF.

I think it was about $400 per IUI. My IVF cycle with ICSI and FET cost about $11,000. Embryo storage is $40 per month.

His preference is to transfer one embryo at once, for me, he doesn’t want to transfer more than one unless I have multiple failed transfers because I’m high risk for HG.

Dr. Moore was very factual but sensitive. When we went in for an early ultrasound, he found that our pregnancy wasn’t viable. He was very careful in explaining what that meant and what that would mean moving forward. We luckily didn’t need further treatment because we had two cycles where we got pregnant in just femara; however, I knew that if we wanted or needed other treatments we were allowed to discuss these options with him. He also was super accommodating to questions and my anxieties with our second pregnancy.

After a baseline ultrasound, I took 7.5 mg of Femara (Letrozole) on days 3-5 of my cycle. An ultrasound was performed on one cycle to determine if a follicle was maturing. He advised using ovulation test strips to help in timed intercourse but gave a general time frame for when ovulation should occur based on the ultrasound. The first round of femara was unsuccessful because I didn’t actually take the medication on days 3-5. The baseline ultrasound was not completely accurate. The second round of femara was successful in that I was pregnant, but the pregnancy ended in a miscarriage (blighted ovum). The third round of femara has also been successful and I am currently pregnant. To help prevent miscarriage, I take progesterone vaginally each night. I also take baby aspirin daily.

Dr. Moore is very passionate about what he does. He truly cares about his patients, and what is best for them. He is very easy to communicate with, and gave me his cell number to contact him at any time, with any questions I might have. He had great ideas of new things we could try, and was very positive with his care and his ideas for my infertility journey.

Meet with him, and trust what he has to say.

I first met with Dr. Moore for a consultation, which happened to be on cycle day 3. After speaking for an hour, Dr. Moore came to the conclusion to start me on oral Mead that night. I was prescribed Femara, and took it Days 3-7. On day 6, I started injections of Gonal F. I took those on day 6-9. My body responded the best it ever has, in the 6+ years I have been trying to conceive.

The reason I went to Dr. Moore is because he accepted my insurance. It’s really hard to find a fertility doctor that accepts insurance. With that being said, I had to have multiple ultrasounds done, and I now have a bill of over $800. I didn’t expect my bill to be that much, and thought it would be much more affordable. I’ve only seen Dr. Moore for one month of treatment, which doesn’t include the IUI I had scheduled. I’m not too happy about the cost of everything I’ve seen him for. It seems like he has charged me a lot.

He’s kind of soft spoken which is comforting to me because he’s not loud and obnoxious. I’ve never felt uncomfortable around him especially during ultrasounds. He’s always willing to answer any questions you might have and never makes you feel stupid no matter how simple the questions may be. I feel like he cares about our success. Although, there have been a few appointments where I feel like he was a little rushed. Not sure if he was just running behind or poor scheduling.

If you want to be cared for and treated like a person and not a number then Dr Moore is the doctor for you!

Our first IVF we didn’t know I had PCOS so if that would’ve been known I’m sure our protocol/results would’ve been different. We are currently working on doing an FET and now that he knows we are doing different things to better prepare for success. Even simple things such as an anti inflammatory diet which I’ve already noticed a huge difference in the way I feel.

Our FET is going to cost a little over 4 thousand. Including medications.

When we did IVF, we only had 2 viable embryos. He suggested we transfer one and freeze the other because multiples are more risky.

So far I don’t have any negative perceptions of Dr. Moore. He has always treated me and my husband with the utmost respect. He answers all of our questions, has laid out the various treatment options in a detailed manner, and has been very honest about our chances of conceiving and what he thinks is our best option.

Ask questions all of your questions and be open to trusting him and his opinion.

He started me on 7.5 mg of femara on days 3-9 of my cycles. He started with a higher dose and longer duration because I had already tried 5mg of femara of days 3-7 without any results. He performed an ultrasound on day 10 and day 13 to confirm that the follicle was maturing, I then did a progesterone test on day 24 I think to confirm ovulation. My next cycle I did OPKs and then a progesterone test 8 days after my positive OPK. He wants us to try just ovulation induction for 3-6 cycles then we can add insemination when we think we need it due to my husbands abnormal semen analysis.

I feel like it’s expensive but better than most clinics that I’ve looked into. I also like that they are very up front about the costs of tests, procedures, and treatments.

Great bedside manner. He made jokes with us, and helped keep the mood light. Dr. Moore was very knowledgeable. Anybody who seeks treatment through him will be in capable hands. I highly recommend him.

He is straight forward, and I love that about him. Know that he is very easy going. Just know that you are in good hands with Dr. Moore and his nurses!

He went over all of my medical history from my OB and previous fertility clinic, as well as surgeries I had completed at the hospital. Because it had been a few years since we had sought out fertility treatments, we started at the beginning, but he also added a water ultrasound of my uterus, which had never been done before. My HSG that I had done before came back positively (minor scar tissue in my fallopian tubes). I did 2 rounds of femara with IUI, same protocol each time. I also had to get my Varicella vaccine updated because my immunity to that was low. I got pregnant from my 2nd IUI.

I think between my two cycles with all the ultrasounds, blood work, medications, consultation, and IUI procedures we probably paid around $5,000 out-of-pocket. (Insurance only covered minimal testing.)

We had previously seen a colleague of Dr. Moore’s and had a bad experience. We were very candid with Dr. Moore and he was compassionate with us. He helped diagnose male factor infertility in my husband. We hoped to start IVF, but our insurance company was uncooperative. Dr. Moore helped write letters to our insurance company on our behalf and really worked for us. In the end, we couldn’t make it work, but we were extremely grateful for the time that Dr. Moore focused on us and the respect that he showed us.

Come with lots of questions and make sure to take notes. Take him seriously when he gives you his personal cell phone number and use it to your advantage.

My husband took samples. I had an HSC exam, an internal sonogram, & took ovulation tests.

Through my insurance, costs were reasonable for the initial consultation and diagnostic testing.

I liked Dr. Moore as a person; however, I felt that the protocol was not optimized for my particular circumstances. It seemed like all patients get pretty much the same protocol with just the medication amounts changed. I had done some reading online about diminished ovarian reserve, and there were a lot of opinions that birth control should be used sparingly for DOR patients, whereas Dr. Moore wanted me on them for 5 weeks. I sent him a note asking whether this was the right protocol but never heard back. I wished I had refused to go forward until hearing his justification for that protocol.

I would not recommend the U of U clinic if you have a more complex fertility problem, as I don't think they have the most cutting edge protocols.

I was on birth control for five weeks, then Gonal-F, Menopur, and Saizen. I started Cetrotide on day 6 and triggered at day 8. They retrieved 6 eggs, did not do ICSI, and 2 fertilized. Both made it to day 5, although 1 was only a morula. We transferred the blastocyst and I had a positive pregnancy test, but a miscarriage at 8 weeks. The morula did not survive to day 6 for freezing.

$8,900 for the IVF cycle (no ICSI). The medications came to about $5,000.

He is a very patient and quiet man, made me think of my father. He is also very kind and caring. He never acted superior when we would ask any of our millions of questions. He spends a great time working on research so he can make sure every fertility patient is receiving the best care possible.

Be ready to learn a lot of info! Which was a good thing for us! Ask him questions even if you think it's stupid. He likes to know what you're thinking and feeling.

Our first cycle of IVF was not specialized for me. We decided to go with what works for most patients. The second round of IVF was when we upped all of the dosages to hyperstimulate my ovaries. The 2nd round of IVF was when we were able to transfer 1 egg and freeze 2 eggs.

The total cost for us was around $12,000. The cost included appointments with Dr. Moore, blood work, ultrasounds, all of the medicine, the anesthesia, egg retrieval and the embryo transfer.

The first round of IVF, we only had 1 embryo survive so that's all we could transfer. The 2nd round we could only transfer 1 egg because my ovaries were still hyperstimulated and still had fluid in them. My Dr. wanted to wait but I was to impatient but I did listen to him about only transferring 1 embryo.

Dr. Moore, was just wonderful! We would have stayed with him if our insurance covered him and the clinic. He was just very understanding and seemed excited to work with us again. With our first fresh transfer he explained to us the risks of transferring two embryos and was very helpful.

If you have questions, don't be afraid to ask him. He is very thorough and goes over everything!

I have a blood condition that can lead to blood clots while pregnant, and he was very aware of this and made sure that I took extra precautions especially while I was on the extra hormones that are related to IVF.

All of my monitoring appointments were either in the morning before work or they were after I got off. They were very flexible to work with.

It was roughly around $15,000-$17,000 for our fresh IVF cycle and that included medicine.

Dr. Moore was great! He was kind. He was frequently running a little late because he will take extra time with his patients to answer any questions that they may have. Once, the receptionist had mis-typed that our appointment was supposed to 15 minutes instead of 45. Dr. Moore didn't have us reschedule, he made the time to meet with us for the 45 minutes and answer our questions.

Be patient. He may be running late but that is because he is taking good care of his patients.

In our first appointment, he looked over our past tests and suggested that we have another semen analysis completed. The analysis came back showing low sperm motility. From there he suggested a sperm penetration test. That test came back negative. He suggested that we skip IUI or regular IVF because of the results of the test. Thus saving us money in the long run. We did IVF w/ICSI. I was on birth control pills for one month prior. From there, I began taking Menopur then added citrotide. (I can't remember the exact dosage). I went in for an ultrasound every other day during this time to measure my follicle growth. On day 11, I took a trigger shot of HCG and Lupron. A day and half later, I had my retrieval where they retrieved 15 eggs, 9 of those eggs fertilized and 5 made it to day 5. After retrieval, I began taking Crinone (progestrone) and estrogen which I continued until week 10 of pregnancy. We did a day 5 transfer. All of our embryos were average quality. We decided to only transfer one at the encouragement of our doctor. After transfer I was given a dose of Lupron to encourage implantation. This cycle resulted in pregnancy and I am currently 17 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy.

We did a guarantee program. We paid $16,000 for one fresh cycle and two frozen of IVF with ICSI. This cost covered appointments, ultrasounds, retrivial, transfer, and shots administered at the clinic. It did not cover medications. I believe we paid around $3,000 for shots and other drugs. The guarantee program did not include the extra ultrasounds I had after I became pregnant.

In the beginning, we LOVED Dr Moore! He was treating my aggressive endometriosis to prolong another surgery and to prep for eventual conception. He gave me lots of options, but everything went downhill when he started me on Lupron. Lupron causes horrific side effects when first started and has to be injected in a timely manner to be effective. Out of the 6 injections I had, only 1 OF THEM was on time, which led me to have all these horrific, yet TOTALLY AVOIDABLE side effects. His nurse either couldnt get the injection ordered on time, preauthed in time, really simple and EASY tasks, and would take up to 1 WEEK or longer to get back to me about ANYTHING! I tried talking to the nurse, Dr Moore himself, the office manager, everyone in the office about how awful their service was and how I was not getting adequate treatment. In the moment they always apologized and assured me that things would get better, that theyd get back to me more promptly, that things would change and they NEVER would! I tried to be patient and give them the benefit of a doubt to fix things, but I felt like it got to the point that they just wrote me off and didnt want to help me anymore. Ive worked in healthcare for over 10 years so I understand how it works, and I'm an easy going, patient and understanding person at drs offices BECAUSE of that. But this was just assanine at how terrible the service was. I tried everything! I was only supposed to be on Lupron for a few months, but because I couldnt ever get my shots on time, we had to keep starting over. And almost a year and a half later with injections, I still lost my tubes. Whether that was because the Lupron couldnt so its job due to lack of getting injected on time, or what I dont know. But I had perfect tubes when I first saw Dr Moore, and I lost them by the time I was done seeing him, and it will haunt me forever being robbed of my chance to conceive naturally and will always wonder if it was because of my experience there. So whether this was because the nurse didnt have adequate training, support to do her job, or was just that bad at her job, I dont know. But I am so mad at myself for staying under his care for as long as I did, and am hurt that even though I was so patient with them and their constant errors, they eventually stopped caring about treating me and I suffered the ultimate price because of it.

If his nurse is still Annie, DONT go there and waste your time!!

We were trying to treat my endometriosis to prep for possible fertility treatments. It started with Progesteronen but that wasnt aggressive enough so we started Lupron to avoid another surgery. Thats as far as I got with him and then went to another Clinic because of such terrible service.

My insurance paid for my injections so I only had co-pays and a deductible to meet.

We didnt get that far.

Strengths include deep understanding of the fertility process, ability to explain it simply, and clear treatment plans. Sometimes he would talk quickly or briefly, but would always restate if I didn't understand.

Ask lots of questions. He's willing to help you understand, but you need to let him know that's what you need.

Used letrozole as opposed to clomid. When I showed initial resistance to letrozole, he upped my dosage. For the two cycles I did with him, I had an intra-vaginal ultrasound to see if eggs had been released. I would also have blood tests to confirm ovulation.

Appointments were about $150-$200 after insurance. Ultrasounds were around $200.

I loved Dr Moore & loved working with him. He’s very knowledgeable & trustworthy. If we ever called, emailed, or text he was quick to respond or have the necessary staff member reach out. He was very patient & took our religious beliefs into consideration too.

Ask lots of question. & don’t feel bad reaching out with whatever you need.

We are still working up to this. Should get our plan in the next day or two.

For Dr Moore’s office alone (not genetic testing or meds) just under $15,000 for IVF.

I will be a high risk pregnancy due to a medical condition. So I asked, but we agreed a singe transfer would be best,

I really liked Dr. Moore. He was easy to talk to and a good listener. He made me feel at ease with the decisions I choose not to do from another Dr. He is very thro and takes his time with getting procedures going.

If you are wanting a fast pace doctor he isn't the one for you, but if you are going because you want a doctor that will try all of his options and won't risk multiples he is the one for you.

There was a time where I had 4 mature follicles and he said that was too many and canceled our IUI and told us not to have intercourse. I begged him to do it anyways and he declined.

With our first IVF, Dr. Moore was very sweet and honest about the procedure. He called me on the morning I was to go in for my embryo transfer and he told me that in order to get the best quality of embryo we would have to wait another day. The fact that he took the time to call me personally and not have his assistant call meant so much! We just went back into see him for our FET. He walked in and was excited to see us! He asked me how my previous pregnancy went and if I had any problems. He was very intent on listening to the questions that I had.

Go in with all questions that you want answered, he's very good about answering them!

For the ICSI IVF it cost us about $10,000

He understood that we were on a budget to get pregnant as it’s not covered in Utah. He washed us how far we would be willing to go if needed. When I expressed that I would not do IVF with him because it’s mandated coverage in mass and we are moving back when I finish school. He was totally respectful of that and offered to help us find a doctor there if needed.

Be honest. Nothing hurts your more then not being honest and asking every question you have.

We did 3 tablets of femara, trigger shot and then we added an oral pill to thicken my lining. Sadly that didn’t work.

Around $700-800. They are contracted with my insurance so I haven’t seen the bill yet. Over a month now, I came in to pay in cash and the receptionist told me “let’s see what your insurance will pay before you pay anything.” Which I though was very nice. I was under the impression that we had to pay cash.

Didn’t have the option.

He answered all questions and made sure we understood without moving on, if his explanation didn't make sense he would re-explain in a different way to help it come across. He would be gentle when I cried and made us feel understood.

He is VERY busy so just be patient and try to get in as soon as possible.

We have not started treatments yet because we are waiting on a few more results from testing, but we will either us IVF with my husbands sperm or IUI with a donor.

It is about $8000 for IVF, and $400 for IUI

He is a Great doc. We are very Happy with him. He is Thorough and direct. Kind and intelligent. So grateful to be working with him. He understands my concerns and is working to find a solution for us.

Make a list of any question you might have and don’t be afraid to ask them all.

Treatment for unexplained infertility is tough because you don’t quite know what to tackle. We have been moving forward with treatments in the most cost effective way. Nothing has succeeded so we are on to IVF.

N/A

Dr. Moore is very patient and treats every patient like family. Undergoing IVF was a very difficult experience for us and he was so patent and honest at every appointment.

Go with questions! Also, be patient if he is running behind. It's the sign of a good doctor!

Andrew Moore is a very compassionate doctor. He seemed invested in our success every time we saw him. He seems to have a very set routine of “the plan” or “next steps.” Because I felt like he was just following the course of action he’s used to, I felt like our case wasn’t individualized. I never felt like this was a personal reflection because he’s great!

Be persistent about next steps and what your situation might entail. Ask if the plan is tailored to your situation.

We started with clomid for round 1. It didn’t work, and I didn’t like how I felt, so cycle 2 was Clomid. We didn’t get large enough follicles so we didn’t do the IUI. We continued with Clomid and it caused terrible cramps and I ended up in the ER. We decided I should wait to proceed.

Our insurance covered most blood work and IUI so each cycle was only $100-200 for us. Plus the cost of trigger shots at $95.
