Dr Moffitt provided good information, but also omitted information that I feel would have helped me make better informed decisions. He however was responsive to my concerns and had regulated lab procedures that were not being followed by phlebotomists fixed when I brought them to his attention. He provided his cell phone so I could call him directly if needed...Drew was a straight shooter, but I felt like his bedside manner was lacking a bit. If a patient is looking for a lot of hand holding, this may not be the doctor for them.

How was your experience with Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
Drew was a straight shooter, but I felt like his bedside manner was lacking a bit. If a patient is looking for a lot of hand holding, this may not be the doctor for them. Ultimately I had a positive pregnancy test with my first FET and we got more eggs than he expected, so I'm overall satisfied. He also responded to my calls and texts after hours and on weekends. I just always felt like a nuisance when contacting him directly. I suppose that's my own issue.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
Do research in advance so you know what questions to ask as you may not be fully informed when leaving the office.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
Dr Moffitt provided good information, but also omitted information that I feel would have helped me make better informed decisions. He however was responsive to my concerns and had regulated lab procedures that were not being followed by phlebotomists fixed when I brought them to his attention. He provided his cell phone so I could call him directly if needed. I felt like the nurses sometime took a bit too long to respond, but that could have just been from IVF induced anxiety.
Describe the protocols Drew Moffitt used in your cycles at ARMS and their degree of success.
Age 38. For egg retrieval 900iu of Follistim. Lupron instead of birth control due to prior DVT. hCG. Vitamin D (6,000 IU), prenatal, Qoq10, and DHEA (25mg, 3x daily).
For FET, started with progesterone lozenges (200mg, 3x daily) and Endometrum suppositories (100mg, 3x daily). 2 Estradiol patches replaced every other day. Progesterone was only 39.4 day before transfer and he wanted it at 40, so added oral progesterone capsules (200mg, 3x daily).
Describe your experience with your nurse at ARMS. (Assigned nurse: Tabitha)
I felt like the written protocol was confusing and hard to follow. Sometimes Tabitha took longer to respond to me via email and voice mail than expected. When my husband expressed to her that I was feeling lost and like they didn't care, she stepped up her game and was much more responsive. Whenever o dealt with Gail she was amazing.
Describe your experience with ARMS.
Employees sometimes argued in front of patients. Phlebotomists did not label vials in front of patient until I brought that to Dr Moffitt 'a attention.
Scheduling was easy. Wait time was very low.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Drew Moffitt at ARMS.
Insurance paid everything after I met my out of pocket max of $5,000.
Describe Drew Moffitt's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at ARMS.
Dr highly encouraged eSET.

Other times, it's like he didn't even read the chart before coming in to see me...His bedside manner could use some work and there's an issue with being consistent in how he treats you...we asked a lot of questions and at least half the time were blown off with "that's really not necessary to answer" or something similar...Nothing in the process is fully explained up front in a manner that is easy to understand.

How was your experience with Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
His bedside manner could use some work and there's an issue with being consistent in how he treats you. Yes, patients on hormones are intense and/or emotional. The IVF process is hard to go through. Just a bit more sympathy would go a long way. Also, we asked a lot of questions and at least half the time were blown off with "that's really not necessary to answer" or something similar. Maybe it's not something to him because he knows but it's our first time, so we have a lot of questions that should be answered, silly or not.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
Nice guy, good at his job, but don't expect any sort of coddling.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
Sometimes he was spot on, helpful, remembered who I am, thoughtful in his delivery of information. Other times, it's like he didn't even read the chart before coming in to see me. I know that all doctors have lots of patients but I want to be treated like the unique person I am.
Describe the protocols Drew Moffitt used in your cycles at ARMS and their degree of success.
The egg retrieval was done very smoothly. I didn't initially have enough of one medication and then I ended up with too much of a different medication. But the appointments went smoothly and the instructions for doing the injections was easy enough. I produced a lot of eggs but when they reduce by half each step of the process, I didn't end of with many viable embryos.
Describe your experience with your nurse at ARMS. (Assigned nurse: Was Shana, now Caylyn)
They communicate a lot as long as you're asking questions. It can be extremely difficult to get a hold of them. There isn't a lot of communication that starts from their end.
Describe your experience with ARMS.
Nothing in the process is fully explained up front in a manner that is easy to understand. I know it's complicated but pretend that I know nothing because I really didn't. There were a lot of additional costs that aren't covered in the initial financial visit. It's hard to access how much funding you need if they don't give you a complete picture of what may be needed and the costs associated with those procedures. The person who handles the billing is probably the most unhelpful person in the entire office. If your insurance covers anything, you will need to tell her how to code it to be covered. They forget to tell you that medication is typically covered by insurance after you become pregnant, so make sure you check your insurance and get the pre-authorization sent to the clinic by your pharmacy. The appointments usually start more or less on time.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Drew Moffitt at ARMS.
I believe in total between care & medications, I have spent somewhere near $20,000.00.
Describe Drew Moffitt's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at ARMS.
He prefers single transfer as often as possible. We forced his hand on a double transfer and he will not transfer more than two embryos at a time.

He [Dr. Moffitt] calls me personally to check and schedule appointments rather than the secretary. You can tell he really cares.... He had strong morals and I like that about him. His whole goal to to create families so he is very cafefull when discussing the “is it me or him?”. Rather than thinking that, he says that whatever the problem is... it is something that the couple goes through unitedly. He will help in anyway he can to get schedules to work out.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nurses are so sweet and I don’t feel anxious or embarrassed around them
Describe your experience with ARMS.
The only thing I would say is to make sure you know what your insurance does and does not cover but honestly this advice goes for any clinic you decide to attend. The clinic can schedule you in on short notice which is nice. Also, they work hard to make sure you know all the financial information before you undergo any treatment.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Drew Moffitt at ARMS.
If you’re in the Mesa Gilbert Phoenix area I feel like their prices are lower compared with surrounding Dr’s.

I wasnt a fan of Dr. Moffitt’s demeanor. He kicked back, crossed his legs tapping a pen on his chin. I felt spoken down to.... I was uncomfortable with my consultation. He did some blood work to see my ovarian reserve and I felt he was beating around the bush when giving me results. I felt judged being 25 and unmarried. He was pushy that IVF was my only option... He also told me to be sure I’m going to marry the guy I’m with before starting treatment which I don’t think a doctor should say.

How was your experience with Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
I was uncomfortable with my consultation. He did some blood work to see my ovarian reserve and I felt he was beating around the bush when giving me results. I felt judged being 25 and unmarried. He was pushy that IVF was my only option (which it wasn’t since I have a beautiful daughter from a clomid ministim provided at another fertility clinic). He also told me to be sure I’m going to marry the guy I’m with before starting treatment which I don’t think a doctor should say.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Drew Moffitt at ARMS?
Seek a second opinion.

I wasnt a fan of Dr. Moffitt’s demeanor. He kicked back, crossed his legs tapping a pen on his chin. I felt spoken down to.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
I never saw nursing staff (at Gilbert location) except to take my blood. There was one girl at the desk who didn’t sit there all the time so you may arrive and not check in since no one is there.
Describe your experience with ARMS.
I’m not sure if the Gilbert location is just understaffed or what it is but it’s not cozy or welcoming at all. It’s a hole in the wall doctor office. Not being comfortable with the doctor you are trusting to build a family is crucial and I didn’t feel this way at this clinic.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Drew Moffitt at ARMS.
$100 ovarian assessment blood test that they don’t take insurance to cover.

He is good at what he does though and maximized my egg retrival. Towards my egg retrieval day he was extremely friendly and had more of a helpful and excited tone... He wasn't very talkative and just did what he had to do, though, he always remembered my name.

Didn't really have any kind of relationship or connection with the doctor or staff. It felt more like a process of checking boxes and following directions on a piece of paper rather than having felt like I was well informed and having people guide me through the process. And maybe that's because it was such an overwhelming process for me and I didn't really know what to say or ask. I know many other patients who loved the staff and had a better experience so I can't help but wonder if it was just me.
