Edward Tarnawa

Dr. Tarnawa has always been very personable and caring. He is very easy to talk to and thoroughly describes everything. I have a retroverted uterus and my cervix is angled up so the IUI procedure was more difficult and took a little thinking outside of the box, using different flexible catheters.

I went to Dr. Tarnawa as a second opinion after working with an alternate fertility clinic. I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility after all of my tests came back normal. This is now the fourth year I've been trying to conceive my first child. Because of my small size I was started on 50 MG clomid before my first IUI. I was only producing 1-2 follicles so he increased my clomid to 100mg which prompted my body to produce a more follicles but still only 1-2 would continue to advance. After three clomid cycles, 2 being IUI cycles, i was still unable to conceive.

Every ultrasound visit I would pay around $100 out of pocket. I paid around $250 for each IUI out of pocket.

He was very professional but personable. He was down to earth. It felt like we knew him for a long time. We explained to him our desires and he gave his perspective from a professional stand point. We discussed our past tests and he explained/recommended how we should move forward. He makes sure that we have touch points each visit and updates us on the next steps. We enjoy that we get to see him each time we visit. He is an important person in our process and progress! My husband loves that he’s a Cowboys fan but I won’t hold that against him.😊

Be honest. He doesn’t judge and needs all the correct information to help you make your dreams of being a parent a reality.

We are still early in the process. We are having all the basic tests ran at the moment.

We have incurred a cost of about 2000 thus far, we are still undergoing tests.

Dr. EDWARD D. TARNAWA, M.D. is very compassion and shows that he is will to help us have a successful conception. During our visits, Dr. Tarnawa thoroughly discuss any abnormalities and make recommendations on successful ways to conceive. He also discussed the different methods such as IUI and IVF.

He’s very understanding and knowledgeable on the different procedures and options available for infertility issues

He just completed ultrasounds of my uterus and Fallopian tubes. He also completed a semen analysis on my husband.

The cost we was informed with for the IVF was $12,000 for the procedure and another $5,000 for medication. Our insurance paid for the infertility screening only.

Dr. Tarnawa is a very kind and patient doctor. He took his time to explain the good and the bad of IVF treatment. I liked the fact he didn't look in a hurry or a rush to get through the appointment. He made me feel hopeful during the whole process. I felt relaxed and very comfortable with his care. I would gladly and graciously recommend Dr. Tarnawa to anyone needing infertility treatment.

Be yourself and listen to all he has to say.

I used injectable hormones for my egg retrieval. They were used to help stimulate egg production and increase growth of the follicles. I had very good results and was very satisfied and excited.

Since my insurance did not cover any of the treatment, it was all out of pocket for me. I know IVF was expensive, but it really threw me through a loop once I got into it. Don't know exact amount paid, but it was over $20,000.

The goal is to have a healthy baby. He recommends a single embryo transfer. I agree with the goals and trust his judgment.

Very polite. Informative. But I’ve only seen him twice the whole 6 months I’ve been there. I would like to see him more and have more time to talk to him about my concerns. He is honest and realistic.

Go in with no expectations

I immediately started IUI considering I tried letrozole with a previous doctor with no luck. I’ve done 2 IUI cycles with clomid and ovidrel. I do ovulate but can’t get pregnant

My cost hasn’t been exceptionally high. I’ve paid almost 1800 dollars out of pocket

My doc prefers one transfer but I feel it should be my choice. If I’m ok with multiples then I should make that decision. My body my choice.

down to earth, patient, kind, but also direct and to the point. I t would have been helpful to meet with the finance person and the doctor together since the decision of which course of action to take was affected by out of pocket cost.

come with questions.

he presented my best case scenario and did not hide the pros and cons.

my insurance did not cover treatment so we paid out of pocket, However, their financial counselor provided us with all the alternative options.

Very knowledgeable, kind. Excellent job of explaining problems and treatments. Did not give false hope. Checked with primary physician as well to come up with best treatment plan. Very easy to work with- was understanding of my busy work schedule out of town and made lab draws and scheduling very easy. Answered all questions and never made me feel like I was taking too much time or bothering him.

Ask any and all questions you may have.

Currently trying clomid 75 mg on days 3-7 with ovidrel and iui

HSG 600 Ultrasounds 190-220 Iui 475

He explained everything very well and he advocates for his patients. He made me feel at ease and made my partner feel included and comfortable. I didn’t feel rushed at all, which I appreciated. I also felt like he was very upfront about risks and didn’t sugar coat anything

Give him a shot!

IVF was recommended for us due to infertility factors on both sides.

I believe we were quoted 5-8K dollars.

No comments, we haven’t done any procedures yet.

Dr. Tarnawa is the best doctor. He understands your needs. He explains the pros and cons of IVF treaments. Dr. Tarnawa exceeded our expectations on our first appointment. As a patient I felt like Dr. Tarnawa really could feel how bad we wanted to be parents and he understood our journey.

Dr. Tarnawa is the BEST.

On our first appointment we got to meet dr. Tarnawa and we talked about our 10 years of not being about to conceive a baby and how badly we wanted to be parents. Dr. Tarnawa went over all of our medical records and told us what he thought the problems was but need to have blood work done and ultrasounds. After have all of the items done we got a call to come back in to see Dr. Tarnawa and he explained result and what treatment would be next. Dr. Tarnawa explained we would have to do IVF treatments.

I cannot express my gratitude with Dr. T, in almost 15 years I have never feel, the way I feel now. I have been complaining about my pain since 2010, every OBGYN that I have seen was telling me that my pain was normal, that it will go away once I have children and prescribed me strong pain killers that made me feel worse and because they were so addictive I refused to take them. In 2019, I had surgery as I had a cyst the size of a grapefruit, the endometriosis and the cyst completely damaged my left ovary and my left Fallopian tube and I had them removed. I thought that with surgery the pain was going to get away and my chances to get pregnant was going to be higher but the endometriosis came back and another cyst developed in less than 7 months. There has been many times that I have asked God to please take my life as the pain was unbearably, I was taking around 9-12 OTC pills a day in order to manage my pain. My previous doctor prescribed me a very aggressive treatment with horrendous side effects. That's why I decided to look for a second opinion and that's how I came across with Dr. T. Before putting me in treatment Dr. T. took the time to read all my medical records, please keep in mind that I have dealing with pain and doctors half of my life so the records were extensive. Dr. T talked to my previous doctors, studied my case with his colleges and researched for alternatives as I do not have health insurance. I have seen Doctor T for almost two months now and he put me in a different treatment plan which significantly reduced my pain, reduced the size of my cyst, last month I just had to take 1 pill instead of 12 and I feel amazing! My previous doctors made me feel like I was on my own, I am looking forward to continue treatment with Dr. T and hopefully become a mother soon.

Please trust him he really knows what he is doing!

Dr. T prescribed me Orillisa 150m for a month and I am now in a higher dose. My pain is not completely gone away but in one month has reduced significantly.

According to his experience he prefers single embryo transfer for me.

The doctor was very sincere and compassionate. He has very good bedside manner. The only weakness would be that you rarely have consultations with the Dr and the nurses do the procedures. When we did sit down I felt rushed.

To take time with each patient.

Clomid 100 mg starting cycle day 3 for 5 days. Ultrasound on cycle day 13 to monitor for ovulation. The last cycle we did trigger 36 hours before insemination.

The costs are pretty fair.

Strengths: He was on time and carefully show us by drawing to explain what he was talking out if we ask a question. He gives us opportunities to express our feelings and did not bullied or push into a new procedure without addressing the fail cycle.

Talk with him about cycle ask questions, he will answer.

I don't remember.
