Dr. Yee approached us from the very beginning warmly and kindly. He always remembered us and our particular situation, which although a large clinic made me feel less like a number...explained everything very thoroughly when we initially went in for consultation...I did feel that my protocol was never explained to me and while it worked out in the end in regards to retrieval numbers, not exactly knowing how or what the stimulation cycle and the meds being used was going to go was a bit frustrating. I had to "trust the process" per say. Any questions I had, I could always ask Dr. Yee or one of the other doctors.
[Reproductive Partners Medical Group] is a very busy clinic, you will feel initially like you are being treated like a number. But the Doctors and staff compassion shines through the chaos and you begin to feel like you are in good hands no matter the outcome. The doctors were friendly but pragmatic and I appreciated the candid responses from everyone on the team. The surgical center was fantastic, all the nurses and anesthesiologist were great. Go in with your research done so you know what to ask and what to expect. Go in with realistic expectations.
How was your experience with Bill Yee at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?
Dr. Yee explained everything very thoroughly when we initially went in for consultation. This is good if you are starting from scratch and do not understand the IVF process, for me based on all the research i had done prior- i personally didn't need a full breakdown. It was helpful for my partner though. I did feel that my protocol was never explained to me and while it worked out in the end in regards to retrieval numbers, not exactly knowing how or what the stimulation cycle and the meds being used was going to go was a bit frustrating. I had to "trust the process" per say. Any questions I had, I could always ask Dr. Yee or one of the other doctors.

Describe the protocols Bill Yee used in your cycles at Reproductive Partners Medical Group and their degree of success.
I was placed on an aggressive typical antagonist hcg cycle. I believe this protocol was chosen due to what appeared on paper; age diminished ovarian reserve and borderline AMH numbers. In the end, I was an excellent responder despite my age and was able to retrieve, test & freeze far more then what Dr Yee and his colleagues had predicted as a possibility.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Reproductive Partners Medical Group.
Initially before starting the stimulation protocol, while always great about returning calls, answering questions was a bit like pulling teeth. Once out of the testing "holding" pattern and starting the protocol, the various nurses who treated me were great and encouraging. Their follow-up after each appointment was timely. Everyone was on surface very nice, but kept their professional distance which was fine.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Bill Yee at Reproductive Partners Medical Group.
Fortunately I have infertility insurance coverage, so I am not sure the exact cost. However, even with insurance those cost has proven to still be pretty hefty. In the ballpark of around 8K

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Reproductive Partners Medical Group.
The follow up during the initial infertility testing (with outside lab) was slow. I had to call to update the clinic with my result and ask what the next step was. Outside of stimulation protocol and what I imagine during fresh or frozen transfer, the focus is a little lax.
