Dr. Dorais is the kindest person I have ever met. Period. She genuinely wants to help us build our family. I have felt that from her since the day we met 2.5 years ago. She has gone out of her way to make sure we felt comfortable and informed in this oft times awful process.... Dr. Dorais is a brilliant doctor and very cautious and conservative in her treatment. I feel that perhaps that conservativeness may have gotten in the way of being informed of some studies into things that might have helped us.

How was your experience with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
Dr. Dorais is a brilliant doctor and very cautious and conservative in her treatment. I feel that perhaps that conservativeness may have gotten in the way of being informed of some studies into things that might have helped us. However if you can be an advocate for yourself and come to her with information you have gathered and protocols you'd like to try, she is absolutely willing to guide you through those things safely.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself and ask all the questions you'd like.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?

Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at Utah Fertility Center and their degree of success.
To be completely honest, up until now I haven't felt like I needed to know or question why we were doing things a particular way. I think more information about what everything is and what the patient can do to improve outcomes needs to be discussed far in advance (at least 3 months for lifestyle changes and supplementation implementation).
Describe your experience with your nurse at Utah Fertility Center. (Assigned nurse: Mallory )
Everyone was wonderful overall. The only thing I would like to see differently is more education for the patients regarding ways they can work to improve their chances.
Describe your experience with Utah Fertility Center.
They are very busy and don't always get back to you the same day.
The staff is very kind and caring and I appreciate how much love they have shown us.
There have been several times where I didn't fully understand why we were doing things the way we were or surprise expenses. A support group that is facilitated by a staff member would help a lot.

She [Dr. Dorais] was very kind and understanding. I’m a very A type personality so I do a lot of research and she answered every one of my questions. I heard horror stories that doctors don’t take kindly to patients like me.... She diagnosed us with MFI due to my Husband’s Varicocele and low morphology. She put him on Coq10. We had to talk to her about seeing a infertility urologist to assess it further which she left it up to us. We decided to pursue that direction since my insurance would cover surgery.

How was your experience with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
She’s very soft spoken. That was okay with me but I can see how it may bother other. She used a lot of illustrations to describe things which were helpful. She was also very hopeful and pointed a lot of positives in our situation.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
I was fortunate enough that my GYN doctor did a lot of the diagnostic testing which then Dr Dorais continued. I feel like UFC is very much “let’s get you pregnant” so I wasn’t sure if they didn’t need to evaluate more on the reasons why I wasn’t getting pregnant

Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Well, I like my doctor but the nursing staff seemed unorganized. I called ahead to ask a few more questions before starting my IUI but they weren’t as talkative compared my doctor
Describe your experience with Utah Fertility Center.
The clinic was okay. We used one of their satellite clinic so it was as nice as their main location. The main location was obviously nicer. The waiting room was bigger in the satellite site which was nice but kind of odd.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center.
It seems pretty standard.

Dr Dorais is newer to UFC and she used to work at U of U Fertility. She is extremely optimistic and kind. Unfortunately with this sensitive type of medicine, being overly optimistic about everything isn’t always the best characteristic because it can lead to high hopes and devastating letdowns when the IVF cycle doesn’t work or go as planned. I prefer someone with more years of experience and a more realistic vs optimistic approach.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
Get a second opinion from another doctor and/or clinic before deciding to go with her and UFC. Don’t let your heart talk you into spending that huge amount of money just because she says you have great chances of it working. Sometimes you have to go with your head instead of your heart, and being sweet talked with optimism was unfortunately something that we fell for as a new-to-IVF couple.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
Dr Dorais is extremely caring and very dedicated to her patients.
Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at Utah Fertility Center and their degree of success.
Antagonist protocol.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Utah Fertility Center. (Assigned nurse: Lacey )
I was originally given Tonya Canaday as my coordinator but then switched to “Lacey” without even being informed of the switch. Lacey was blunt and rude. She had no compassion or kind words. The only positive of having Lacey was that she emails back usually within an hour unless it’s Saturday-Monday which she has off. Neither Tonya nor Lacey ever answer their phone and Tonya never emails back.
Describe your experience with Utah Fertility Center.
This clinic is known for being less expensive than the other two clinics in the area. Unfortunately in my experience this is because they have a mass amount of patients and do lots of cycles even when the requirements are not met. For example, this clinic does not require you to have a certain BMI or other labs that most other clinics are very strict about. They are lenient and take greater risks with your IVF cycle in order to process you as another patient. At the time I thought it was great that I could get started so quickly given some questions about my overall health, but after a failed cycle I now understand why other clinics have more strict guidelines on BMI, etc. I do not think UFC is the best Fertility Clinic in Utah and I’m sure their numbers and statistics would prove it.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center.
$11,699 for IVF cycle with ICSI, $200 per embryo for PGS testing, $750 for FDA physical examinations (standard for intended parents using gestational
surrogate), and $400 cash UNDER THE TABLE (or $450 on credit card) directly to the anesthesiologist for anesthesia on the day of egg retrieval. Super sketchy there!! Plus all blood work and doctors appointment consult fees.
Describe Jessie Dorais's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Utah Fertility Center.
Dorais is happy doing single or multiple embryo transfers, depending on your personal preference.

How was your experience with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
Dr. Dorais is great at communicating every detail of the process. She is so knowledgeable in every aspect of both male and female infertility. She knew the answer and a ton more for every question we had. The only weakness she had was trying so much to make syre we didn't get our hopes up. After transfer though she was super excited and rooting for us, but during the process I felt it was hard to be excited at all. Part of that though was how little our chances were because of both my husband's and I's infertility factors.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
To not be afraid to ask any questions you may have. She makes you feel like every question is important and will literally have the answer plus some for each question.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
I felt like a human because she took her time with us. She didn't care if she had to stay late one day if it meant answering all of our questions. She would check in on us throughout the process. She has shown excitement when given good news as well as sympathized with us during hard times.
Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at Utah Fertility Center and their degree of success.
We did IVF with ICSI because of male gactor infertility. I started out taking birth control pills for a couple of weeks. I also have an extremely low AMH of .38 so she put me on Gonal-F 300 once a day, 150 units of Menopur daily, and once it was time I took 1 shot of ganilerex. Once it was time to trigger I took 10,000 units of HCG 36 hours before egg retreival. During all this I also took prenatal vitemins, one baby asprin a day, 600mg of CoQ10.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Utah Fertility Center. (Assigned nurse: Shailegh Taylor)
My coordinator was amazing!! Super on top of everything, answered all my questions swiftly and accurately. She really showed that she cared about us and helping us achieve our dream of having a kid.
Describe your experience with Utah Fertility Center.
They are amazing at getting back to you and making sure they have everything ready to go throughout the whole process. Weakness is that they don't always answer the phone, but they do get back to you within the day or at least the next.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center.
We were blessed to have partial insurance coverage. Out of pocket we paid about $4,500 for medications and about $1,500 or less on dr. Visits, ultrasounds, bloodwork, etc.

How was your experience with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
Jessie was kind, but she didn’t make an effort to let me know that they cared about me and were doing everything they could to help. I am finishing up a cycle with her right now and then I am switching to Dr. Conway because I’ve heard so many good things about her. I feel like Jessie hasn’t done everything she can to find a diagnosis, and as the patient I shouldn’t be responsible for making sure they’ve run every single test there is to run.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
Be prepared to ask a lot of questions. She will give you statistics, and that’s about it. It’s like talking to google almost.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
I felt like all I was given were statistics. I didn’t feel cared about very much.
Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at Utah Fertility Center and their degree of success.
We did clomid but it wasn’t working so she said IUI was next since we are “unexplained.” We did clomid and IUI first, and my husband’s numbers were high for that one because we waited to have intercourse until after the IUI was done (there’s like a 2-5 day thing where you want to have intervourse within the 5 days before the IUI, but not after 2 days before). We did a trigger shot and that was it. It didn’t work. The second IUI we did letrozole instead because clomid makes me very sick. This time her nurses told me to have intercourse like less than 24 hours before the IUI. This made my husband’s numbers lower because DUH! We had sex before the stinking procedure! So then later she said it was because they want us to keep trying naturally at home, which I understand by telling me to do it right before the dang thing? That was so confusing and so frustrating for me. It still is. Anyways, we also did a trigger with that one and it didn’t work. I am currently in the middle of a letrozole cycle after 2 months of a break after the IUI’s.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
They were friendly, but it’s hard to be compassionate when you don’t know what it feels like. I struggled with that before it happened to me so I understand that it’s harder than it sounds. They were just following what they were told to do by Jessie, at least that’s how I understood it.
Describe your experience with Utah Fertility Center.
They were okay. Sometimes the front desk was grumpy, and one girl that checked me out all the time was always kind of stand-offish. I can’t remember her name though. She had long dirty blonde hair that was always in a pony tail.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center.
The IUI itself was like $850 or something. The medicine was bought separately through integrity RX and one other company, and that added up to around $200.

When we first met Dr. Dorais she was so warm and welcoming. She began by getting to know us. Addressed and questions or concerns we had and then very thoroughly answered every single question. We spoke with her for over 2 hours the first time we met. Anytime I need something, she calls and is so reassuring. She always explains everything so well and always asks me if I need anything or have any questions.

How was your experience with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
My experience with Dr. Dorias has been wonderful. She is very thorough and matter of fact. I really appreciate the fact that she never made us feel like she's in this for the money. I had so many questions regarding additional testing. She was very honest about each test and how it would or would not benefit us. I never felt like she was trying to sell something to us.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
I would advise a prospective patient to do their research and come with a lot of questions. It is nice when your doctor has a very well rounded, educated response. Dr. Dorais answered SO many of the questions I had without me even formally asking her. She was so thorough.

Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at Utah Fertility Center and their degree of success.
My protocol is for an antagonist cycle due to my AMH levels. Dr. Dorais explained the risks of developing OHSS and order a Leupron trigger shot to use in conjunction with my HCG. She also ordered: 5 Ganarelix 250MCG, 3 Follistim 600IUI, 75IUI Menopur (22), Pregnyl 10,000 units, Endometrin 100mg tablets, 63, Leupron 5MG. I began taking birth control pills on cycle day 3 and my husband and I were also prescribed a Z pack and Cipro for him as well.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Utah Fertility Center. (Assigned nurse: Shailee)
The nursing staff at UFC is wonderful. Everyone is so helpful and informative. The two nurses I have been working with have been wonderful. I am someone with a LOT of questions. I cannot tell you how many times I emailed Shailee, sometimes multiple times in a day and she always responded on the same day. Morgan has been really good about calling to check in and answering questions that way.
Describe your experience with Utah Fertility Center.
UFC does a wonderful job staffing a very well informed and helpful team. I also think it is wonderful that they have multiple locations throughout Utah. One thing I wish they offered was full service at all of their locations. Only some of the doctors travel to the branch offices to perform cycles. It would have been nice to have a location closer to home when my husband needed to freeze back up sperm but we love this place so much, we did not mind making the drive.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center.
The actual procedure costs $9,800, which includes ICSI. Additional blood work runs around $400, medication was around 4,000. I had to do outside monitoring for my baseline and initial blood work due to living in California. Since my facility is in Utah so we had travel expenses as well.
Describe Jessie Dorais's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Utah Fertility Center.
My doctor definitely educated us on transferring 1 vs 2 embryos. She went over all of the risks of transferring more than one embryo in great detail. She also very respectfully told us that ultimately, we are the patients and the decision to transfer 1 versus 2 is up to us. She was very clear on letting us know what the medical field safely recommends.

How was your experience with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
Dr. Dorais is extremely caring and nice to all of her patients. She is very knowledgeable about the infertility paths and always wants what is best for her patients. I love that she is my doctor and trust she knows what is best for my body.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
You will not want to find another doctor after seeing Dr. Dorais!

She diagnosed me with anovulation and PCOS. She put me on progesterone to get a period. When I did we started our first timed cycle which involved femara to grow my follicles and a trigger HCG injection to induce ovulation. I got pregnant the first cycle and carried it till 6 weeks and then miscarried. She was concerned that is might be ectopic and explained that we needed to do a D&C. After the D&C we waited for my levels to go down and then started our 2nd cycle 2 months later. On my baseline ultrasound I was told I needed to come back for a saline ultrasound because there might be something in my uterus. I came back the next day and they found polyps in my uterus. 2 weeks later we did a hysterectomy to remove 5 polyps. 1 week after we started our 2nd cycle that turned into a negative pregnancy. We just did our 3rd timed cycle and I am currently in the two week wait!
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Excellent! They always know what the plan is and how to answer all of my questions.
Describe your experience with Utah Fertility Center.
I love how clean the clinic is. You walk in and they greet you by name, maybe just because I have been going for 8 months now. They are all patient and kind and want the best for their patients. The only thing I wish was different was if they had an office in Logan, UT!!
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center.
Unfortunately, insurance doesn't cover anything infertility. We have been doing timed cycles which are $525 a cycle + around another $300 for medications and then gas money (I live 1.5 hours away from Utah Fertility Center). We also had a D&C and then a hysteroscopy and those each costed money too. I have figured we are around $4,000 into this journey.

How was your experience with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
Dr Dorais is very patient and kind. She is also extremely smart. I think it was Einstein who said, "if you can't explain something simply you don't know it well enough." Dr Dorais always explains things in simple ways. She welcomes questions and answers them in simple to understand ways. She takes notes for you and draws diagrams so everyone is on the same page. She doesn't rush you out of her office or make you feel like you are wasting her time. I've always felt like we are her only paitents. She is always so positive and helpful.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
Don't be afraid to ask her to repeat herself. She is very patient and she wants you to know what is going on. So ask questions and if you don't understand, ask her to explain it again and she will.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
Dr. Dorais is SO nice! She is so sweet and caring. The first time we met with her she was very tactful about our situation and also very hopeful. We had just come from a Dr that told us there was nothing more she could do for us and was acting like we tarnished her record (which is why we switched to Dr Dorais). The instant Dr Dorais started talking it was like a breath of fresh air! I actually started crying in her office because of how sweet, caring, and positive she was about our situation. She is also very patient! I asked her the same question 3 times because I didn't understand and she explained the answer 3 different times still with the same kindness as if I only asked once.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Everyone that I've met on the nursing staff is so nice and happy. I feel like they know that the patients that come in are most often heartbroken and don't want to be there so the nursing staff is super nice and empathic.
Describe your experience with Utah Fertility Center.
The clinic does a good job of being empathic and kind. I've yet to meet someone working there that was grouchy. I really like the atmosphere of the clinic. It's clean and has fun music playing. The only thing that bothers me is the artwork in the lobby. There is a giant photograph of a pregnant woman on the wall that you can see as you leave and as you walk in there's another piece of art that is a mother holding a baby. I know that the goal is to get the patients pregnant but this art feels like a slap in the face sometimes.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center.
I don't remember specifically but I do remember opening my bill and being surprised at how low our costs were. I think I was expecting upwards of $500 and the bill was around $100. I do know that one of our bills was only $17 and that was nice but I don't remember what it was for.

When we were talking about treatment options she realized that I was interested in the details so she gave them to me. She discussed recent studies and always explained the rationale behind her suggested treatment plan. When things didn’t work she adapted and she was willing to listen to and consider our opinion for our treatment plan.

How was your experience with Jessie Dorais at University of Utah?
Dr. Dorais is so sweet. She always seemed happy to see us, never seemed to be in a bad mood and was always present with us. When we were talking about treatment options she realized that I was interested in the details so she gave them to me. She discussed recent studies and always explained the rationale behind her suggested treatment plan. When things didn’t work she adapted and she was willing to listen to and consider our opinion for our treatment plan. I feel like she is up to date with emerging research and willing to adjust to try new things.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jessie Dorais at University of Utah?
Just go to her!!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jessie Dorais at University of Utah?
Dr. Dorais is so kind and caring. She always takes the time to listen and consider our questions and opinions.
Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at University of Utah and their degree of success.
I was unexpectedly a poor responder to the storms so she continued to slightly increase or modify my dosages through our IUI cycles (we had already done 3 rounds of clomid when we saw her so we started right away with that). She began us just on Femara and then added injectables. When we began IVF I still didn’t respond as well to the meds, so after my first cycle was canceled she adjusted and increased doses and added HGH. She also wanted to make sure everything was perfectly prepared going into IVF so she did a uterine septum surgery prior to it. My second IVF cycle was still a learning experience but I did get pregnant and have a son. Even though it resulted in pregnancy it was clear they it hadn’t worked as well as hoped (no embryos to freeze) so now that we are doing IVF she is trying a totally different approach (min-stim with ICSI and luteal estrace).
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
I didn’t get to know them super well but they were very friendly and responsive.
Describe your experience with University of Utah.
Everyone was very friendly and clearly worked as a team. I much prefer the clinic staff at the U to that at UFC, where Dr. Dorais is currently practicing. The IVF nurse line was awesome and they were super responsive. All the phlebotomists were friendly and well trained. The other doctors who I saw here and there were also great.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jessie Dorais at University of Utah.
IUIs - $360 with meds/cycle
I did a guarantee programs for IVF so my 2 cycles were about $15000. Meds for the first cycle were $4500 and second were $5500.
Describe Jessie Dorais's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at University of Utah.
We only had 1 embryo. She was going to let us transfer 2 although she definitely seemed to prefer the idea of a singleton pregnancy.

How was your experience with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
Jessie Dorais is very nice (even all the nurses comment on how sweet she is) so she’s easy to talk to. She thoroughly listens and is always available to talk, there were a few times I was just at the clinic for blood work and she’d see me in the hallway and invite me into her office for a quick catch up. She also explained everything very well while also being very respectful.
My egg retrieval was scheduled for a day when Dr. Dorais wasn’t doing retrieval’s (the doctors rotate) so she had them schedule it for 7am and came in before her normal shift to do my retrieval. That is commitment to your patients, and I very much appreciate it.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
Make the appointment, you won’t regret it.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
When I bump into Dr. Dorado at the clinic she always knows exactly what’s going on with my cycle, specifics like what size my follicles are. I have no clue how she remembers all of that but it makes it easy to put my trust in her.
Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at Utah Fertility Center and their degree of success.
We have unexplained secondary infertility, Dr. Dorais seems to use the basic general protocols for everything since we don’t have a lot to go on.
For my IVF cycle I was concerned because I felt like she chose to trigger me too soon (only a few mature follicles), but I tried to remind myself that I trusted her and she knew best. Seems like it was the right decision, we only ended up with 4 mature eggs (I have low AMH) but 3 fertilized and all 3 made it to day 5 blasts (1 transferred, 2 frozen). Those 4 mature eggs were plucked just at the right time which might not have been the case had I pushed to stim longer.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Utah Fertility Center. (Assigned nurse: Shailee Taylor)
My coordinator is nice and knowledgeable but she does seem a bit stretched, like she had a lot going on. That being said, she always calls me back and answers all my questions.
I’m general the nursing staff had been great. They are compassionate and kind.
Describe your experience with Utah Fertility Center.
A big weakness is that the main office is outside of the city, so while I can do a lot of appointments at the closer office things like retrieval’s, transfers and weekend appointments are all 45 minutes away. I understand that the big clinic is in a city where land isn’t easier to come by and a lot cheaper. It just stinks that the majority of the population live pretty far from the main office.
A strength is that they don’t force batch patients, if you want to do a cycle on your time they will do it. It’s also pretty easy to get a hold of people and I’ve always gotten me results on time. If an appointment needs to be squeezed in they make it happen.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center.
IUI was about $800 with monitoring. Anesthesia for egg retrieval was $400 ($450 if using a credit card) which is completely out of pocket. Everything else was billed through our insurance.
Describe Jessie Dorais's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Utah Fertility Center.
From the beginning my husband and I were clear about not wanting multiples. Dr. Dorais was very receptive to this, she explained that multiples are a side effect of fertility treatment and NOT a desired outcome (medically, since it’s a higher risk pregnancy). She said she usually has to try to talk people out of wanting multiples (which I understand, after infertility you just want all the babies!) so she was happy that we wanted to lower that risk. She did mention that we might talk about transferring 2 embryos if we have a few failed sETs which sounds like a very reasonable plan.

How was your experience with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
She was soft spoken and was able to describe everything in great detail. I went in for a second opinion on why i am unexplained infertility. She went step by step on why I don’t have pcos or other reasons on why we can’t get pregnant. She explained everything in a way that I can understand. She also helped set us up on the next steps of conceiving which is ivf
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
Always write down all your questions and concerns before going. It helps to ensure everything is answered and you feel better when leaving.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
She took the time to explain how the clinic came up with an unexplained fertility diagnosis. She talked to me and asked questions on how I was feeling and my frustrations.
Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at Utah Fertility Center and their degree of success.
The strategy was to have 3 iuis to ensure that wouldn’t work before moving on to ivf. She stated we could do a mini ivf or go to a full ivf due to me having a high egg count. The reason she says to go to ivf is because it is unknown if I have tube damage to a potential of endometriosis. She also stated that having surgery for endo would not benefit because it could ruin my egg count and cause more damage to ovaries or tubes.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
They have always been kind and easy to talk to. They are always on time and don’t have you sit in the doctors office for very long. They answer all questions in a timely manner. They return phone calls within 24 hours
Describe your experience with Utah Fertility Center.
The clinic is always very friendly and accommodating. It is always clean and ready for the next person. Weaknesses would be remembering that not everyone knows the process like they do and to take the time to explain everything. Especially for those that are starting with iui and what to expect when they go in for their appt.
always write down your questions before going in is he biggest thing I would tell anyone going in
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center.
Iui cost would be $850 with our meds. Mini ivf was around $8000 and ivf was $15000 depending on the price of meds

How was your experience with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
Dr.Dorais has been a great doctor for us. Going into the infertility world was scary and hard and she was so kind and welcoming. She has the most soft voice and takes the time to explain things. She draws things out for you and was open to all of our questions. Sometimes I got a little lost with some of the explaining because she used a lot of medical terms that I didn’t understand but she was always patient when I asked her to re-explain things.

I appreciated her taking that time so that I knew she was aware of everything especially since I would mostly see the nurses.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
Be honest and open. Dr.Dorais cares about your feelings and your situation and wants to help so be as vulnerable as you can.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center?
There have been a few instances that showed to me that I wasn’t just a number to Dr.Dorais. The first was after our miscarriage. She called as soon as she found out and left the most kind and heartfelt voicemail and offered to have a consult and talk over things as soon as I was ready to come in. The next was after our third failed IUI. She was completely booked for a few weeks but moved her schedule around to meet with us the next day to consult and talk over our options after that heartbreak.
Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at Utah Fertility Center and their degree of success.
We did 3 rounds of timed intercourse using clomid day 3-7 and measuring follicles starting day 12 and doing hcg trigger shot when cycle called for it and then doing intercourse 12 and 24 hours later.
We also did 1 round of IUI with clomid same process as timed intercourse but had my husband bring in a semen analysis 1 hour before the IUI procedure. After the IUI procedure I was told to have intercourse that night and sometime the next day and then to start progesterone suppositories. Blood work was done exactly 2 weeks later to check If I was negative or positive.
The other 2 IUI’s were the exact same except using letrezole instead of clomid.
All 3 timed intercourse and the 3 IUI’s were negative
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Some of the nurses are so sweet and sensitive and kind. They are good at explaining all that they are doing and talking you through it all.
I didn’t like that they weren’t up to date on my history. I saw so many nurses and they never knew how many IUI’s I had done or my history of having a miscarriage and that made me sometimes just feel like another number coming through.
I also didn’t have a great experience with one nurse. She was the one who had to tell me that I had a blighted ovum and that I would have to have a miscarriage. It was already a super hard experience and I was in complete denial and I felt like she wasn’t super sensitive at all! She seemed numb to seeing that kind of heartache and it was pretty awful.
So I’ve had great experience of kind nurses who would move schedules to make things easy for me and would make me feel comfortable and understood and others that were extremely unfeeling.
Describe your experience with Utah Fertility Center.
The front desk staff has been hard for me. They are the first and last people you see and I haven’t always been impressed. When I first started coming the front office wasn’t super welcoming and a little cold. The lady who checked me out seemed annoyed and tired and never once cracked a smile or anything. So that’s hard. As I’ve been there longer the front office has gotten better and knows me by face. But the clinic is clean, well equipped and I’ve been grateful to be in such a good clinic that’s so close to my home. There are a lot of the staff that are passionate about what they are doing and are aware of how hard it is to be doing the things that we go through as patients.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jessie Dorais at Utah Fertility Center.
I’m under DMBA which has been good to cover a lot of my procedures. My HCG shot and progesterone suppositories have been around $200 each month and that isn’t covered by insurance. Everything else has almost all been covered for.

Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at Utah Fertility Center and their degree of success.
While waiting to get my husband's issues worked out and during testing, she's done multiple unmonitered Femara cycles (I take it day 3-7 and then just do at-home ovulation tests). We've also done one Timed Intercourse cycle, with Femara, where I also went in for ultrasounds to track follicles, and used an HcG trigger shot to insure we could get my ovulation on track.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
They are always helpful and happy to answer my *many* questions.
Describe your experience with Utah Fertility Center.
The clinic runs well! It's a slight bummer that Dr. Dorais isn't in my location each day, so I've often seen a PA for ultrasounds or things.

Dr Dorais is very compassionate and sensitive. She spent a lot of time talking about our options and called me several times just to check in and follow up on previous conversations. Her patient care is her greatest strength - very reassuring...In my opinion she is on the conservative side as far as treatment course. She was great to work with, but that being said I did not have success with two ivf cycles so it is hard to recommend fully. If you are looking for a patient, kind doctor that will clearly and carefully explain things she is excellent. Also, she did leave the clinic for another local clinic in the middle of my second cycle.

Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at University of Utah and their degree of success.
I did 2 frozen embryo transfers with dr Dorais. Both were mostly the same protocol with lupron injections, oral meds (can't remember name!) and the mm progestorone injections. I was allergic to progestorone and switched to crinone vaginal cream. Cycles were treated the same except with an addition of an endometrial scratch procedure before the 2nd Ivf.

Meg was amazing. I had to get my frozen embryos sent from another state and she handled everything so smoothly. She micro-managed every detail and made sure that nothing was missed and that it was all smooth. She really minimized my stress. So, so grateful for her.

How was your experience with Jessie Dorais at University of Utah?
From my first visit with Dr. Dorais, I felt comfortable in her care, confident in her knowledge and abilities, and so grateful to have her as my doctor. She personalized every step of treatment and adjusted it as needed. She was direct with odds, risks, next steps for treatments. She gave professional opinions, but also constantly checked in on how I was feeling and what I wanted to do. She is positive, but realistic, and approaches everything optimistically. I had a few setbacks and complications during my treatment (through no fault of Dr. Dorais) and when things were especially difficult, she would call to check in on me or just to touch base and see how I was doing. When I thought I was miscarrying, she offered to meet me in the ER if I decided to go in. When that miscarriage was confirmed in her office, she sat with us as we cried together, knew the right things to say, and helped us through it. She was so compassionate while we grieved, and later shared in our joy when we were finally pregnant. She made our journey bearable, when at times it felt like it wouldn’t have been otherwise. She was my advocate, my cheerleader, and also a voice of reason. She is simply the best.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jessie Dorais at University of Utah?
Make an appointment with her ASAP.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jessie Dorais at University of Utah?
Dr. Dorais was always very warm and kind. She knew everything about our case all the time, without checking my chart during the visit. We felt like she was our teammate and wanted success for us as badly as we wanted it for ourselves. She would sit down and speak directly with us, never acting like she was rushed or had to go, even though I’m sure she always had other things she could have been doing. If our visit was over and I thought of a question as she was walking out, she’d come back and sit down and talk us through anything. She never rushed us. She followed up with me after hours and called me personally a few times when there had been good or bad news.
Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at University of Utah and their degree of success.

She made personal phone calls to congratulate us after we found out we were pregnant (both times!). She thoroughly and carefully helped us understand the basic science behind why we weren’t able to get pregnant to that point and helped us understand our treatment options based on that understanding.

How was your experience with Jessie Dorais at University of Utah?
Dr. Dorais is sweet and compassionate. I always felt well cared for and “heard” as her patient. She never pushed us into a treatment, it was always the pace that we were comfortable with.
She always had time for us and our questions. We never felt rushed during our visits with her.

Feel empowered about your healthcare and treatment options because she will absolutely address them. I one time hesitated about a particular treatment and timing that she had recommended. She immediately sensed that and asked what our preference was and followed through with that.

Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at University of Utah and their degree of success.
We used the highest dosage of Femara because all clomid dosages hadnt resulted in ovulation. Because of this she recommended we start with the highest dosage of femara and we were able to get pregnant immediately. The first pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage (HCG levels weren’t growing appropriately). Our second round we were able to get pregnant again.
Describe your experience with your nurse at University of Utah. (Assigned nurse: Kathryn)
Our nurse was very helpful and responsive. My questions (via their messaging software) were answered very quickly.
Describe your experience with University of Utah.
I loved how frequently we were able to meet with our Dr (not always common among other practices).
I didn’t love some of the other doctors. I had to meet with one during an emergency Sunday ultrasound when I was miscarrying. He was very blunt and not very sensitive during this imaginably difficult time.

Dr Dorais is an amazing doctor. I came to her with a diagnosis of unexplained fertility from a previous RE. She dug deeper and diagnosed me with endometriosis and my husband with low morphology. It was nice to finally have some answers. She was very open and compassionate. She did a great job of explaining things in layman terms. She laid out the options nicely and involved my husband and I in the decision making.

Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at University of Utah and their degree of success.
We have only been seeing her for a few months so we do not have any positive pregnancy tests yet, but I am hopeful. After discussing our previous treatments and tests and some of my current symptoms she gave the option to dig a little deeper. I was put on birth control and had a laparoscopy done that same month. She found a mild case of endometriosis. She gave us the option to try naturally or with drugs and IUI. She suggested the IUI's because I was more fertile after have the excision of endometriosis. We tried one month naturally and are now onto our 2nd IUI.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
All of the nursing staff have been very friendly and helpful. They are all very on top of things and very compassionate. At the clinic it is a nurse that performs the IUI. I've had the same nurse each time and she has been amazing. She explains things really well and answers all questions. She is compassionate and encouraging. She was also good at keeping an awkward and stressful situation very light.

Come with all of your questions before hand-it is well worth having everything you want to know written down because she will take the time to have you understand.

Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at University of Utah and their degree of success.
I was on stims medications for a long while. We took it slow because it was my first time and i only had 1 ovary. She really didn't want to overstimulate it. We finally up the dosage and were ready for ER a couple of days later. Everything went smooth and we were happy with the 10 eggs we got. Sadly by day 5 only 2 survived. I reached out to Dr. Dorais because i didn't want to spend money on freezing one and transferring the other. I got to talk with her over the phone and we decided that transferring 2 was a much better option. Sadly we got a BFN but met with her right after to discuss next steps.
Describe your experience with your nurse at University of Utah. (Assigned nurse: Meg)
My nurse was incredible. She took the brunt of all the craziness and medications. I would email her and she took the time to call me back not email me. It was nice to talk to a real person. She was so organized and help me understand all my levels during the monitoring appointments.

I loved it. Very clean and nice, but takes a while to get there especially during traffic times.

Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at Utah Fertility Center and their degree of success.
We use femara to grow the follicles! We moniter the follicles with a baseline ultrasound and then again another ultrasound to measure follicle growth. Then we do the HCG trigger injection which is followed by timed intercourse. After that is the progesterone taken vaginally followed by the two week wait. We had success first time, but then miscarried due to 5 polyps! 2nd time didn’t work. Just did our 3rd and now waiting for results!

Describe the protocols Jessie Dorais used in your cycles at University of Utah and their degree of success.
We did 3 IUIs - no known male factor based on semen analysis. First round 50 mg clomid cycle days 3-7 with Ovidrel trigger shot, then IUI after that. Negative pregnancy test. Second round switched to letrozol, 5 mg with ovidrel trigger shot, negative pregnancy test. 3rd round upped letrozol to 7.5 mg with ovdirel trigger shot, still negative pregnancy test.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Very sweet and VERY responsive.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Jessie Dorais at University of Utah.
Very reasonable. Our IUI cycles were around 260 I believe + cost of ultrasound, and trigger shot with meds were less than $40. Surgery costs were as expected. We're moving onto IVF in May, and costs at the U seem competitive with other clinics around us.
