George S. Taliadouros

Dr. T was patient and always willing to try what I asked. He answered my questions without hesitation. After 4 miscarriages, I was really feeling discouraged. I seemed help from a high risk doctor who worked with Dr. T to help me keep a pregnancy. The last IVF frozen transfer I did in November was a success. Dr. T did what I asked which was putting 2 embryos in and waiting an extra week for the pregnancy test. I’m still shock I’m almost 16 weeks, but this little girl is a strong one. I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Dr. T.

Be patient. Have faith. If it can’t happen Dr. T will be honest with you.

Most of the time I felt like I was treated like a human. There were a few times when two of the nurses and the nurse practioner gave me wrong information. I informed Dr. T of this and he was very supportive and apologetic towards me.

I had 4 oral medication IUI, 2 injectables. 1 injectable turned in to us trying on our own because I produced too many eggs. It was near the holidays and they couldn’t get a hold of the insurance company to transfer it to IVF in time. After that I had a retrieval. We did a fresh transfer which ended in miscarriage. 2 frozen transfers ended in miscarriages. The last frozen took. Almost 16 weeks now.

All were great. They needed to make sure they oooked at details for each patient though. 2 nurses gave me wrong results regarding numbers.

The clinic knows their stuff. They are a good, cohesive team. My only suggestion is to be your own advocate. Make sure you know your results and know what you want to do. The clinic will work with you. Remember they are the medical professionals, but you know your body. If you’re unsure of something ask.

Around $5000

First three transfer Dr. T only wanted to transfer 1. His reasoning was they were really good embryos. Last transfer he transferred 2 because I told him that’s what I wanted.

He was very hard to understand. He definitely knew what he was talking about and very intelligent but sometimes the language barrier made it hard. He tested you on your knowledge about infertility. At one point I hardly understood what he was saying and it is a lot of information at once. He tested me on an answer and I didn’t know. I just felt not so smart there.

Be patient.

I felt like there was no clear routine laid out for you. It felt like we were just another number walking through the door when in actuality we were about to go through something we knew NOTHING about and spend a lot of money doing it.

We went into this and found out we were not conceiving due to male factor. We went to a urologist and to our surprise we found out my husband has testicular cancer. This put our fertility treatment timeline on hold because now we had to deal with a whole other factor. We did surgery to remove, oncology appointments and follow ups. Thank God we didn’t have to do radiation. He’s cancer free now! So he kept doing samples and his numbers have been all over the place. He has vericocele surgery on the other testicle. We proceeded with IVF with ICSI as advised. I was supposed to take a teaching on how to give injections and that was never set up so I felt nervous going into it. The plan and timeline was not clearly related to us. We were a day 3 transfer which I heard bad things about. All our other eggs arrested. Dr T even said “I don’t usually do 2 embryo transfers but I will today” looking back I should have seen that as a sign.

I loved the nursing staff. Maria who is the IVF coordinator was a dream. Beyond sweet and patient. Rebecc the nurse practitioner was amazing as well.

It’s a beautiful place. The strengths would be that they’re organized. Very organized. Weaknesses I think they need to have a well written timeline/expectations to new clients. It’s very scary process and to not know your next step is overwhelming. Thank you

We were 100% out of pocket. My husband and I myself do not have a benefit an our employers will not be getting it. This is depressing because we both work 40 hours/week and can’t get a fertility benefit. Out of pocket total was $14,000. For something that failed and didn’t result in a child.

He said he doesn’t do multiple usually but would for us because we were day 3 transfers. I wish it could have been explained that the others arrested and the likelihood of these being successful alwere low and to save us spending more money out of our pockets to do the transfer.

You can tell very quickly that Dr. Taliadouros truly cares about his patients. I never felt rushed when meeting with him and he always made sure I had no outstanding questions. A couple times he even called me after hours from home to answer questions or discuss test results. I often felt like I didn't know how to make the next step happen (who to call, when to call, etc.) or what my diagnosis was, but I learned to just ask as many questions as I had and Dr. Taliadouros would always answer them. Dr. Taliadouros seems to test/treat many of his patients for metabolic issues before moving foward with fertility treatments. I appreciated that he actually tried to find the root of the problem instead of just jumping into expensive treatments.

Ask questions. If you feel like you're in the dark about your diagnosis or treatment plan, just ask and he will answer. Since they do this all day everyday, I think sometimes the nurses/doctor forget that those of us going through this for the first time don't always know what to expect.

Most of the staff are very friendly and I truly felt that they were invested in my care. In terms of office procedures, things often felt disorganized and I had to advocate for myself more than I expected to. I didn't always receive expected phone calls, medication dosages had to be double checked, etc.

I loved seeing the nursing staff at my visits, but I felt that I really had to be on top of my own care at times. A few times I didn't get expected phone calls, or didn't get meds called in as expected. As long as you're willing to stay organized and advocate for yourself, they are wonderful to work with.

The office is very clean and comfortable. The staff at the desk are wonderful and very compassionate. They take early morning appointments for all monitoring, so it was very rare that I had to wait more than 5 minutes or so to be called back. This made it easy to fit appointments in with my work schedule.

IUI: $525, Monitoring Appointments (bloodwork/US): ~$325, IVF (retrieval, fertilization, transfer): $6500, Anesthesia: $400, Freezing/3 month storage: $750

I did not always see Dr. T. every appt. But I did see a nurse practitoner and I felt my care was always well handled by them. My IUIs were usually done by Dr T but one was done by one of the nurse practitioners. The surgeries/procedures I had done were always done by him. I always felt I was in capable hands and felt that I understood my treatment.

Make sure you ask your questions- they will not mind taking the time to answer them.

The staff always knew my name and we would often chat about my life and theirs. Their demeanor was similar to other patients. I always felt comfortable asking questions. They were friendly, helpful and caring.

I did not respond to clomid with my first RE. So with him I went onto Follistim. When I moved over clinics (after moving states), Dr T had me continue on follistim and then switched to Gonal F when my insurance switched what they would cover. At both clinics I was using Ganrilex to prevent premature ovulation and ovidrel as a trigger. He also added in low dose HCG which had great results in maturing my eggs so I did not overstim. I regularly had 3-4 follicles, which is a number I was pleased with (if your tolerance of risk for multiples is low you can do a less agressive cycle). From those IUI cycles- I had 1 miscarriage at 9.5 weeks due to chromosonal issues, 1 singleton live birth and am currently pregnant with healthy twins. I also had 2 overstim cycles (one before my pregnancy in 2012 and another in 2015)- due to the fact I have PCOS and it is easy for me to overstim on meds. My dosages were adjusted appropriately and following cycles went well. Incidentally, my friend is also using them (and is 7 weeks pregnant- they graduate you as a patient after 12w of pregnancy monitoring). She did not resond well to the low dose HCG protocol so they had her switch to a menopaur/gonal f combo and that changed how she responded significantly. So I really feel like they "tweak" protocols well. Mine were also tweaked but mainly in the med dosages and the difference of when to take meds (which Cycle day) with results factored in from blood and ultrasound monitoring. I always felt the monitoring and protocol were appropriate- made with your body's schedule- not limited to the dr's schedule. So the results were better then some doctors.

I found they were always friendly, very kind and sympathetic when I had my miscarriage and joyous with me when I became pregnant with my current pregnancy. They were helpful and I felt as though I could ask questions.

Strengths: Great results, very thorough in testing and protocol. Good at adapting. Lab results always come back same day so protocol can be adjusted quickly as needed. Weaknesses: They don't always call back with results (such as beta numbers after your initial positive beta). So you do have to ask with those blood draws that they call you back. They are getting an online portal with all lab results for patients soon.

I had insurance coverage, so only paid a co-payment each visit.

I absolutely love him! He took his time with you, you were never rushed out of appointments like you feel you are being rushed with some doctors! I didn’t feel like he was there to just get another patient...he always was concerned, compassionate and felt how you we’re feeling!

It takes time! It won’t happen right away! Be patient.

Dr. T was so kind and explained everything multiple times when I asked him in different scenarios what was happening. He always took his time with me. I never felt rushed out of an appointment!

I was diagnosed with PCOS with DR. T. I had to undergo all the normal tests (ultrasounds, the dye test [can’t remember the name of it] but it was very time consuming).

She was very informative and explained every step of the way with what she was doing.

Overall it was a better fit for me to go to DVIFG! They were very understanding, compassionate, and I didn’t feel rushed to get out of an appointment! They are a very friendly staff, and I recommend them any time someone asks!

I had to pay my specialist copay every time I went there. Every time I had clomid, I had to pay out of pocket for it at the pharmacy, as well as any injectables. My insurance didn’t cover most of medications affiliated with infertility.

He is very nice and i love the whole staff. They talked everything over in detail with me and no questions were left unanswered.

Ask questions and be on top of your own treatment!!!

They treated me like i was a person. They knew each detail about my treatment and communication was great

Amanda was very compassionate and understanding. Took as much time as i needed to answer my questions.

He is a very nice doctor and does a decent job but I did get frustrated after several miscarriages and no adjustment or thoughts as to why or how to help it. Later we found a Perinatologist who was able to fix this issue.

The staff was very kind and respectful.

I think that the staff is very kind and sweet. Lisa in the Vineland office was AMAZING and so helpful. I sometimes felt that a second doctor on staff would be helpful since it is such a busy practice.

Insurance covered the bulk of my treatment.

We always transferred 2.
