Electronic communication was the best thing I had with Dr.Imudia and boy did he have a lot of emails from me... is patient and kind and makes the best action plan as best as he can. We even wanted to transfer 2 embryos but he suggested 1 as it did not necessarily increase chances of a viable pregnancy plus the added difficulties it would present if both embryos did attach...I believe Dr. Immudia will make the best decision for each patient's circumstance.

How was your experience with Anthony Imudia at USF IVF and Reproductive Endocrinology?
Dr. Imudia is patient and kind and makes the best action plan as best as he can. We even wanted to transfer 2 embryos but he suggested 1 as it did not necessarily increase chances of a viable pregnancy plus the added difficulties it would present if both embryos did attach. His RN is great at scheduling and because they have multiple locations it is easy to shift appointments around once you are an established patient. Electronic communication was the best thing I had with Dr.Imudia and boy did he have a lot of emails from me.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Anthony Imudia at USF IVF and Reproductive Endocrinology?
It is hard to get in initially but once you are an established patient, advocate for what you want. I had all my blood work completed and my cycle began in December I was not scheduled for an IUI but asked m doctor why I couldn't do it if all my labs/ultrasounds were done, well with that said I was immediately booked for my baseline ultrasound on New year's day. The clinic is never closed.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Anthony Imudia at USF IVF and Reproductive Endocrinology?
He answered all my questions patiently without rushing to answer questions or being dismissive.
Describe the protocols Anthony Imudia used in your cycles at USF IVF and Reproductive Endocrinology and their degree of success.
During my IUI cycles I used clomid(no injectables) and had baseline ultrasounds but that was it and those were not successful, but also take into consideration I had just balanced my hormones so those eggs that did not fertilize could have been a results of my previously imbalanced hormones. My IVF cycle was after my hormones were balanced for over 6 months, so the egg quality was probably much better at this point. During my IVF cycle I used injectables(Lupron,menopur,gonal f) and then progesterone suppositories until 10 weeks) and I got my daughter.
Describe your experience with your nurse at USF IVF and Reproductive Endocrinology.
Very compassionate and also very amazing at communicating and answering all my questions.

Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at USF IVF and Reproductive Endocrinology.
They were on time and prompt I was never waiting more then 5-10minutes for the monitoring appointments.

Dr Imudia sat down with my husband and I and went over all our results and plan of care. He answered our questions and concerns and really listened to us.... Although we have only seen him a handful of times throughout our treatment, he was very efficient when we saw him. He was knowledgable about our results and explained our plan of care.... We attempted 5 months of Femara 5mg with timed relations. All five months were negative pregnancy test.

I have done my trigger shot, Ovidrel, on day 12 between 8pm and 10pm. We are back at the clinic on day 14, 36 hours post trigger for IUI procedure. So far, all negative pregnancy test.

Dr Imudia understood our urgency in trying to convince so he didn't attempt to waste our time with treatments that were going to delay our possibility of having a family. He suggested we skip all other treatments and move straight to IVF and I'm glad we did as any other treatments are no longer an option.... What my husband and I appreciated the most was his honesty, he's not making promises that he won't be able to keep. We are very aware that it may take a few tries as nothing is guaranteed and also the financial commitment involved. Dr. Imudia was very straightforward but also compassionate.

Describe your experience with your nurse at USF IVF and Reproductive Endocrinology. (Assigned nurse: Melissa and Kristen )
Both nurses that I've been in contact with have been absolutely accommodating in every way possible.
Describe your experience with USF IVF and Reproductive Endocrinology.
The only weakness I would note would be that fact that I had to ask more than once for a treatment plan cost. We were beg, borrowing and stealing to make this happen so we needed to know well before so that we could figure out how to pay for the treatment. This would be my only gripe about the clinic experience.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Anthony Imudia at USF IVF and Reproductive Endocrinology.
14,900 for 1 retrieval and 2 transfers (currently in retrieval process)
Describe Anthony Imudia's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at USF IVF and Reproductive Endocrinology.
We were happy to hear that Dr. Imudia is willing to perform multiple embryo transfer as we had heard that some doctors are unwilling to do so. With our situation time is of the essence and we appreciate our Doctor understanding this.
