the initial visit was kind of cold. I imagine that he [Dr. Holman] sees a lot of people and makes assessments. Once I was an actual patient (paid my $$$$) the attitude changed and he was very warm and guided me completely. ... He suggested a single embryo transfer, but I wanted to embryo's. He agreed that this would be fine. Ended up with one healthy baby. ... Don't be discouraged if at first he seems distant.

Describe the protocols James Holman used in your cycles at Piedmont Reproductive Endocrinology Group and their degree of success.
I took Clomid, but it did not work. Dr. Holman changed me to Letrozol. The Letrozol worked and we used a trigger shot with each cycle. None of those worked alone. We then added IUI for one round which was unsuccessfull. We finally added Follistim shots before IUI. That worked on the 3 round of IUI.

This clinic is worth the time and money. Please consider going here if you are considering Fertility Treatments. The whole process is so extremely personal and emotional I can barely remember a thing about it all.

He [Dr. James Holman] was warm and encouraging...Worth seeing. Knowledgeable and kind. I felt like I could ask questions and was reassured that he would adjust treatment if we needed to. We went multiple times to have imaging to make sure the eggs were growing and he was calm and made sure we felt comfortable with his course of treatment. He kept us informed... I can't put a dollar amount on him. He was worth everything!
