Doreen Hock

She’s is a great communicator, kind, compassionate, intelligent and very thorough. She always insisted that we give her a call whenever we had any questions. She didn’t take any risks and always made sure I was doing what was best for our chances and for me as an individual women going through this process.

Never hesitate to ask her questions or reach out, she really wants to help you.

IUI protocol - stims were Gonal - F, and ovidrel trigger Egg retrieval was stims - Gonal- F, certitude, ovidrel trigger. Did need to do Birth Control to delay period for IVF CYCLE

Streamline and always quick. They really have it figured out.

My insurance covers most everything. Have a small copay for some meds. A couple compounded meds I had to pay out of pocket for but could get reimbursement. When I had IUIs only my ultrasound days required a co pay, in IVF cycle I only paid a co pay one time. Nurses do complementary education for PIO shots the first time. CCS testing was out of pocket and included 10 Embryos. More than ten was $125 each to test and then none of the cryo was covered. $1000 to freeze embryos, $300 every time a sprem sample was frozen.

They always recommend single embryo transfer unless the women is older. They always stress the how high risk multiple pregnancies can be and try to avoid that.

Doctor is very friendly, warm and compassionate. Patient in answering all questions. Balances patient needs and wants with what is safe from a medical standpoint. I saw her for my first IVF pregnancy and live birth and chose her in a heartbeat to start next IVF cycke for baby #2.

Stick with it! Don’t give up with negative pregnancy tests or losses. She and the entire practice will be with you to the end.

I started with 1 monitored intercourse cycle, 3 cycles of IUI and then went to IVF with success. Dr. Hock was willing to consider IVF without doing endless cycles of IVF. She recommended implantation of 1 embryo only to reduce the risk with multiples.

There is available monitoring 7 days a week. There is immediate notification to the lab team and ultrasound team when a patient arrives. The waiting room can be busy. A patient is usually sent first for labs and then returns to the waiting room to be called for the Ultrasound (if ordered for that day).

Payment of deductibles or any outstanding balances must be paid in full before a cycle is started. The billing team is willing to work with a patient to create a payment plan but then a cycle cannot be started until it is completed. They are readily available to speak to and check your benefits.

Dr. Hock feels very strongly for eSET to reduce the risk with multiples.

Dr. Hock has been very thorough and laid our our treatment plan at every step. She adjusts the plan after each test and every bit of additional information that we receive. I appreciate her honesty, but she also gives news very clearly and kindly.

Don't be afraid to ask questions and make sure you have time to discuss her answers. Dr. Hock will go over all of your questions in detail.

We tried to use the embryos that were generated when I was with a previous doctor. However, after two failed transfers, we did a retreival with RMANJ and Dr. Hock believes that the egg quality will be better. I have also adjusted my diet for several months, which should help egg quality and will hopefully result in a successful transfer.

It is pretty efficient and if you get there early, you won't have to wait long. The phlebotomists are excellent.

We had general copays. We also had to pay embryo cryo and storage fees.

RMANJ believes strongly in single embryo transfer. There have been studies that show that the success rate is higher when only one embryo is transferred. Their theory is that the embryos compete for resources, so it's better to transfer one embryo at a time.

Dr. Hock was warm and friendly and compassionate. She was very easy to work with. We were very happy under her care. When we experienced a chemical pregnancy she was very delicate with us and helped us deal with the disappointment.

Just to be aware that you won't always get to see Dr. Hock and that the patient should be prepared for that.

I had already had two successful ovulation induction cycles from when we lived in London, so Dr. Hock immediately went with the same approach. The first resulted in a chemical pregnancy. The second resulted in triplets who are five years old now! We were not prepared for the high chance of high order multiples from ovulation induction.

I don't recall.

Dr. Hock cares for her patients! She is thorough and explains everything step by step. She calls all the time to keep you informed. She is there for you through every failure and success cheering you on!

Be patient - everything happens for a reason!

Dr hock adjusted our protocol and medicine after the failed ivf transfer. She monitored me very closely.

Morning monitoring is done between the early hours of the day before work to keep it convenient for you. There is an app that tells you wait times. You can use that to help find a good time to go!

My treatments were covered by insurance.
