Dr. Christman is hard to communicate with. He always interrupts when you are trying to talk to him or ask him a question. I was frustrated because he "made" us do IUIS with less than 2% chance of them working... He would always interrupt me when I tried to ask a question and laugh at things I would try to ask... He had us do 2 iuis with clomid and no monitoring. With our male factor issues this was a huge waste of money for a 2% chance it would work. He did this because he said once he had a patient get pregnant with a sperm count of 300,000 so he thought we might too though we mostly wanted to move to IVF.
[at UF Health Reproductive Med-Gainesville] It is hard to reach someone when you call, go through many phone trees and leaving messages. The nurses are friendly and helpful but I did not like Dr. Christman. The clinic is clean and seems safe. Cost of an IVF is higher than many surrounding clinics and their success rates are lower... IUI was pretty affordable there. Less than 1000 each time. However we did not use injectables or do any monitoring to confirm ovulation per the doctor.

The best way to describe him [Dr. Christman], is Jolly. He is always happy and a pleasure to be around. You can tell he loves his job. He is very thorough and explains things with detail. He makes you feel like you are his only patient at that time. ... 250 of follistim for 8 days of stims. 250 of Ganirelix the last 4 days of stims. 75 on menopur the last 4 days of stims. Hcg trigger 10,000
Melinda [nurse]was great. I work night shift and was unable to get her calls sometimes. She gave me her personal phone number to contact her if I needed her. She called everyday she said she would go updates. ... Everyone [at UF Health Repo Med] seems organized. It’s easy to check in and out. I had maybe a 5 minute wait when waiting for appointments. Everything flowed smoothly and seamlessly. Everyone was friendly and knows you by name.
