How was your experience with Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
Dr. Tjaden is a very unique doctor! He is very honest, very knowledgeable but very passionate about the emotional well being of the me as the patient and my husband and I as a couple! He is so kind and very honest about the risks, success rate and medical protocol but I couldn’t imagine going through this not knowing all of that information.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
Do not leave if you have any questions or concerns! Ask any and all questions even if he’s just giving you ‘yes’ or ‘no’ simple answers. Don’t be afraid to ask him to elaborate!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
Everytime i walked into the clinic, they all knew me and my husband and always talked to us and took great care of us.
Describe the protocols Bruce Tjaden used in your cycles at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas and their degree of success.
We were male factor so he told me he didn’t want me to get tons of eggs because I’m a healthy 24 year old who is dealing with a husband with no sperm. He had me on Gonal-F, Menopur, Cetrotide, HCG trigger and progesterone post egg retrieval. At my retrieval, I had 13 eggs retrieved, 11 mature, 11 fertilized and 6 day 5 healthy embryos. One 5AA embryo was transferred and I am currently 8 weeks pregnant. The other 5 embryos have been frozen.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas. (Assigned nurse: Megan)
Megan was absolutely amazing! She always called me back ASAP when I had a question, was always available on email even on a Friday night at 10pm and she was so kind and even gave us free meds because we needed one more dose of menopur! She was amazing!
Describe your experience with Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
My clinic was smaller so it was very nice to be known by the staff and have appointments readily available! As a new patient, make sure you meet all the nurses because not all the nurses work with all the doctors. I loved how peaceful the clinic was and how positive and happy all the staff was when you’re dealing with lots of injections and hormones!
Describe the costs associated with your care under Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
I paid $4,000 to Dr. Tjaden for monitoring and everything.
I paid $7,000 to KU Med in Kansas City and that included all of my egg retrieval and transfer needs! Including anesthesia and all of that.
Describe Bruce Tjaden's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
I wanted to transfer two embryos but Dr. Tjaden was 100% against it because I am 24 and healthy and he told me he knew I would get pregnant and he didn’t want me to deal with multiples or miscarriage. He told me ‘just because we transfer 2 it doesn’t mean you’ll be pregnant with 2 and it honestly doesn’t increase your chances of pregnancy.’ So we did one and are so happy we did!

How was your experience with Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
Dr. Tjaden is very ept at repro endocrinology. From the first meeting on he set a plan that we followed. He found a fibroid and the week after he removed it. He also found a small area of Endometriosis that I didn't know about. His bed side manner is exactly what I need which is direct but with compassion. I have recommended him to many of my friends. There are not a lot of African American women who dicuss the stigma of infertility and he has made me comfortable with my journey.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
He is the best doctor there and follow the plan he has set out for you.

First exam found fibroid, had it removed a week later. Also found a small amount of Endometriosis during procedure. From there had two rounds of IUI with injectables donor sperm. Took a break and got engaged, went back to Dr. Tjaden and did IUI femara and injections. Dear son is two months old.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nursing staff isbamazing.! There were times when I would havebquestionxs and they responded quickly and even by email.
Describe your experience with Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
I think the whole staff and doctors are compassionate and very knowledgeable in fertility issues. The clinic was able to fit in appointments with my hectic schedule. They are open 363 days of the year and will schedule appointments during the weekend if need be.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
The most expensive thing was purchasing donor sperm. My IUI cycles were affordable and insurance paid for a lot of labs and medicine.

He makes jokes and real life comparisons when discussing treatment plans. You know he always has your best interest at hand!... we came upon insurance that covered ivf and that is our current path. He has said all along this path would be the best due to the amount of time we have been trying to conceive.

Dr. Tjaden often makes sure we know all options available to us, but the ones that will give better results. He makes jokes and real life comparisons when discussing treatment plans. You know he always has your best interest at hand!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?

Describe the protocols Bruce Tjaden used in your cycles at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas and their degree of success.
We started with changing my oral medication (changing from clomid to femara) and adding metformin. We did a few unsuccessful iui before talking with him and getting a new plan. We originally were going to add injections and stick with iui, then we came upon insurance that covered ivf and that is our current path. He has said all along this path would be the best due to the amount of time we have been trying to conceive.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nurses are always so compassionate when you call a million times to ask tons of questions. They will always give you the answer and look into other answers if need be. They have always gotten meds called out quickly.
Describe your experience with Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
Great to work with regarding insurance and appointments. I'm always able to get in early so it doesn't interfere with my work schedule.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
Due to my insurance (Tricare) many procedures not related to natural conception are not covered. But iui costs at this location are much cheaper than other's I've had.
Describe Bruce Tjaden's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
Do to my age, Dr. Tjaden has said that a single embryo transfer is best. Dr is concerned with the lasting effects having multiples can lead to. He says it's not that we can't handle it, but that it's harder on the body and the babies.

Look past the first appointment and always go prepared with questions. He doesn’t mind answering them.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
I felt that for the most part they were kind and compassionate. I loved Megan, Mary and Chelsie. I felt Deb was incompetent and always dreaded getting her. Thankfully I only got her a few times. The second time we went back in 2017 I thought Dr. Tjaden’s MA was as sweet as she could be. Can’t remember her name.
Describe your experience with Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
Lots of weaknesses from the clinical staff standpoint. Unprofessional on the phone initially until they get to know you. When I was trying to become a patient they made me feel “dumb” and always blamed their lack of organization on “the fax machine” (I’ve heard that same story from many of my friends who have gone there.). They break HIPPA in the waiting room, luckily no one in there that I cared if they knew my business. After being a patient their for several months (9ish) they became more friendly and by the second time we came back they were great. Soooo to a new patient, yes they come off cranky and unprofessional but the outcome of a baby is worth it!
Describe the costs associated with your care under Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
We were lucky our insurance would pay for all meds, lab, sonos, and everything but the actual IUI and IVF. The initial iui in 2015 cost $200 each and IVF ran us around $20k when it was all said and done. Our iui in 2017 was $400

Dr. Tjaden was confident and reassuring. He always remembered my name, my husband's name, and personal details from our conversations.

He has a particular way of doing things, and it made me feel like I had the best chance of achieving pregnancy. Nothing is left to chance, he checks everything thoroughly before he begins, and is completely concentrated and "in the moment" when he needs to be.

Nothing is left to chance, he checks everything thoroughly before he begins, and is completely concentrated and "in the moment" when he needs to be. He is knowledgeable of risks and was able to answer all of my bazillion questions.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
Appreciate the controlled system he employs during a transfer. He gets very focused, and the room goes completely quiet (which may seem a little awkward), but it is all for the best cause!

Describe the protocols Bruce Tjaden used in your cycles at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas and their degree of success.
Dr. Tjaden performed 2 separate frozen embryo transfers on me. He prescribed 5 mL progesterone IM injections daily during both transfers. The first transfer resulted in a negative pregnancy test, the second transfer a couple months later resulted in a positive test and pregnancy that lasted until I miscarried at 15 weeks.
Describe your experience with Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
This clinic is small, which is both a strength and a weakness. The doctors and staff very much recognize and remember you, but are not as up-to-date on research as an academic center. The lab director only worked there part time, which ended up being a big concern for me. This center has recently closed their lab though and now only does the patient care/management and refers the retrievals and transfers to Kansas City.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
A frozen transfer was $2,500 including all monitoring and blood work.
Describe Bruce Tjaden's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
Dr. Tjaden had a strong preference for transferring one 1 embryo, based on my age (30), reason for infertility (tubal blockage) and that it was only my second transfer (his first to do on me). On my third transfer (Dr. Tjaden's second to perform on me), he was more open to entertaining my thoughts on transferring two embryos, but ultimately convinced me that 1 was still best.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
That you will rarely actually see your doctor. The nurses perform most of the procedures & give you your plans for this session/cycle & the next session/cycle.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
During our meetings, he took all the time we needed to get questions answered & to go over things with us. He was incredibly down to earth.
Describe the protocols Bruce Tjaden used in your cycles at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas and their degree of success.
Rationale: I have anovulation, unexplained infertility. With the medications they could help my body mature follicles sooner & with the trigger shot 'promise' ovulation. This would also give us the best window for our IUI to hopefully work.
Initially we chose to do IUI's with oral medication (femara) & a trigger shot (ovidril). 2 IUI's & the last one done in November 2015, ended up in a very early miscarriage.
April we started our journey again, but this time with oral pills & injections of Gonal F to help mature the follicles & continuing with the trigger shot (ovidril) with IUI's. April they had as stop mid-cycle as follicles were not as big as they needed to be & they stated it would take too many injections of Gonal F to complete, so we stopped that cycle. May 2016, same protocol: oral medication, Gonal F, Ovidril, with IUI. Then vaginal progesterone 2X/day until your able to test. This was an unsussful cycle. June 2016, exact same protocol as last month. Currently waiting one more week before I can take a HPT.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
All of the nurses have been great & answer any questions that I've had. They are polite, & kind.
Describe your experience with Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
Everybody there has been super nice! I haven't had any issues with them. They are all great at answering your questions if they can. My only advice is follow their recommendations as to when to take you medications because they are pretty strict about all that.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
Insurance doesn't pay for much for infertility. I know lab draws are $15, but insurance usually waves that fee. $170 I believe for all ultrasounds, Blood pregnancy tests $70, I believe. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

How was your experience with Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
Dr. Tjaden has been at this for a long time; however he has not lost his compassion or become desensitized to emotions that come with infertility. He preformed my laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis and called the next day to see how I was recovering. We felt that he was very knowledgeable and trusted his judgment. He is very balanced with providing guidance without being pushy.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
Write down questions before your visit, do your own research. There were times I left his office without having questions answered, and that was because I was overwhelmed or emotional, NOT because he didn't give me time.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
Dr. Tjaden was very down to earth and was very open to hearing about what our expectations were and he respected the route we wanted to go. Dr.Tjaden provided information that we could make informed decisions.
Describe the protocols Bruce Tjaden used in your cycles at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas and their degree of success.
Dr.Tjaden pretty much diagnosed me with endometriosis off a sonogram; however explained that it could only be a confirmed diagnosis with surgery. He explained the pros and cons of surgery as well as the option to use medication or go straight to IVF. Post surgery we decided to start at least aggressive and work our way towards more aggressive IF treatments. We started with several cycles of clomid, then Timed Intercourse, and with Dr.Tjaden's support we will do 2-3 IUI before moving towards IVF. Dr. Tjaden has been very supportive and has provided information to us that we feel has helped make decisions that are best for our situation.
Describe your experience with Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
General infertility education, as a clinic weakness. I did a lot of research on my own, which helped with asking questions and making decisions.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
Relatively reasonable. They worked with me and my insurance to help make sure the costs did get out of control.

How was your experience with Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
He appeared to be down to earth & it wasn't his way or no way. He very much left our approach up to us & what we felt was best. I don't feel like they explained what will happen next. For example: they explained the meds which I was familiar with from research & experience of taking similar medications before. I don't think they explained what we do IF we were to get pregnant (like do I call my OBGYN & then they take care of me from here on out, or if I called them & they follow me for some many weeks, when do we increase the medication, etc.). This left some confusion. The only other issue I have had, is we did our last IUI on CD21 due to egg size/quality/uterine lining etc. I called to see if this was okay, or if should up the dose. The IVF nurse was a little snippy on the phone telling me "3 pills/day is our max dose." Okay thats fine, so do we need to stay on the 2 pills/day I am currently taking or should we go up? I didn't find out until my next appt that she had talked to the doctor & he agreed to up my dose. When I mentioned getting an IVF consult, she told me that it was expensive between X-X $ amount & that it didn't include the shots, which, "can get pretty expensive!" She also reminded me that payment needs to be paid upfront. I felt like she was short with me & slightly discouraging me from going towards IVF at this point. I don't feel like its a waste of anybody's time to discuss IVF since that is our next step!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
Ask lots of questions!! How many rounds of this medication do you usually do, if I ovulate late 20-30's or later, do we up my medication dose/change my medication all together, or what is the protocol for that. If/when we get pregnant, do I contact your office or my OBGYN. These are just some basic questions I would ask that were never explained to me.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
I feel as though I was human because when he sat down to talk to us it was at an even level. I didn't feel as he was the doctor & we were going to have to do XYZ. He gave us all our options & let us choose what we all thought would be best at this time to proceed. He didn't appear to be in a hurry & was there to answer any questions we had or could think of.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
They have all been friendly & have no problems answering my questions. They are pretty quick to respond after labs & such. As previously mentioned so far, the only nurse that didn't make me feel good about our conversation was the IVF nurse who was snippy & I believe tried to shy us away from IVF.

How was your experience with Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
Dr tjaden is absolutely amazing. I have referred several friends to him. 2 of which have babies now because of him. He is very kind,patient,knowledgeable and genuinely cares about his patients and staff. If I could seek treatment from him again I would but I moved out of state and have to start all over again with a new Dr. I still tell everyone about him and it's been 6 years since I was in his care. I compare every Dr to him and no one has been as great. I will forever be grateful for him and his expertise and helping me finally become a mom after 5 years of trying.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
To understand that a lot of the procedures and visits will be with his nurses. But he is always available to answer questions.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
He was so caring and gentle and treated me like I was his own daughter. He even gave recommendations stating that. "If you were my daughter etc etc. "

Describe your experience with your nurse at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas. (Assigned nurse: Meagan was Ivf nurse)
All of the nurses were very kind and accommodating and knowledgeable. Excellent facility.
Describe your experience with Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
I thought they could have had a better phlebotomist. Getting blood draws frequently I think requires someone who can get the needle in quick and easy and less painful. The rest of the staff and care was always exceptional. You rarely saw the Dr until retrieval and transfer days but if I was really concerned or nervous during a procedure or exam he would always come in and calm my nerves and take the time to see me if needed.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
Fertility treatments are expensive and are not covered by insurance. Payments have to be made up front making it very challenging for people to have children when these treatments are needed. This is the same at every fertility clinic.
Describe Bruce Tjaden's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas.
I don't recall him being strongly against more than 1 embryo transfer. I was more terrified of the risks. We both agreed on 2 embryos to transfer due to the length of time we had already been trying to conceive.

First [step with Dr. Tjaden] was to do a hysteroscopy and laparoscopy to remove a septum and check the ovaries/tubs. At post-op, we determined it was to finish estrogen and then take progesterone to force a cycle. At the next normal cycle, the plan is to take Femara then go in for a sonogram and do a trigger shot leading to an IUI...He explained what was going on each step of the way, what he was seeing, etc. He also told me that if I was his daughter, this is what he would recommend. It made me feel like he cared about getting us to the next step.

How was your experience with Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
I was scared going in. I have mainly dealt with my physician for six years and I was nervous going in. My age, my weight, all of that played into my head. He was polite, explained things in medical terms, but also just like I was his daughter. He checks in regularly during evaluations and lets me know that he is ready to go with our next steps.

I have to pay my co-pay for the office visits. So far, I have had to pay toward my surgeries, but it was all based on insurance. I do know that I will have to pay for the IUI itself, but not sure yet of the medications prior to it.

He [Dr. Tjaden] is blunt and very serious. If you want warm fuzzies, he isn’t the doctor for you. He made me somewhat uncomfortable at first because he was so serious and i find comfort in jokes and laughter...He seems very competent and I trust his experience...I had 24 eggs removed so my body responded well. After the retrieval it took another two months before the transfer... We did not get our happy ending and our going through the second transfer, same protocol.

Describe the protocols Bruce Tjaden used in your cycles at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas and their degree of success.
Birth control for almost a full cycle before retrieval. I used Gonal F and Menopur for stimulation hormones before the retrieval. I had a sonogram and blood draw every 48 hours-ish. I had 24 eggs removed so my body responded well. After the retrieval it took another two months before the transfer. More birth control, 2mg 3x daily of estrogen pills, 1ml progesterone oil injections a day (suppositories were offered as an option) leading up to the transfer, and continued injections after. We did not get our happy ending and our going through the second transfer, same protocol.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
As a single woman wanting to be a mother in Kansas I expected to be treated skeptically or to be judged. It turned out to be a non-issue for everyone at the clinic. Dr. Tjaden and his staff were kind, compassionate, supportive and seemed genuinely invested in helping me to conceive.
Describe the protocols Bruce Tjaden used in your cycles at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas and their degree of success.
I was found to be a good candidate for IUI. For the first two cycles I did self injections to trigger timed egg release and I was given Clomid - which ended up causing polyps in my uterus and I had to take a cycle off to allow them to clear. For the following cycle I was given a different drug (I forget the name) and the same injection - I got pregnant that time, my third attempt.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas. (Assigned nurse: Chelsea and Mary)
Both of the nurses who performed my inseminations were personal and compassionate. When I had a break down after being told about the polyps and that I'd have to take a month off, my nurse was very supportive and helpful and shared her own fertility issue story with me.

Dr Tjadenc came across very matter of fact. He didn't seem interested in what had worked or more like hadn't worked in our past. He didn't want any info from my fertility charts or what I had learned over the last years. He was pretty straight forward and seemed convinced we would conceive quickly and easily. However, we did conceive after two IUI, so I guess he was right. And we that's what really mattered to us.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Bruce Tjaden at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas?
I left like Dr. Tjaden dismissed our infertility struggles. I remember him saying it would be so easy but it sure didn't feel easy nor was it easy.
Describe the protocols Bruce Tjaden used in your cycles at Center for Reproductive Medicine in Kansas and their degree of success.
We did 2 rounds of IUI. Both with Clomid/trigger/IUI. I did not ovulate on my own but with clomid was all to produce 1-2 high quality follicles on day 20. Our second IUI, my partner's count post wash was only 4 million. We were offered to cancel the IUI since it was less than 5 million. We chose to continue the cycle and got our first baby.

Our insurance didnt cover, we payed 100% out of pocket. The clomid was very inexpensive, less than $20. For each cycle I had to have multiple sonograms, each $350. Trigger shot was $100. And the actual IUI procedure $500.

While we had a problem with his recommendation for a urologist, an egotistical man with no bedside manner, we have no doubt that he would have given us another referral, if we had requested.
