Dr. Hesla was kind and did answer all of my questions. I think he is a good doctor but he isn’t at a good clinic. I did like that he would listen to and consider options that I brought up. I also wish they were more up to date with emerging science and treatments...We did change up the protocol each time but didn’t get better results...Take a note pad because he gives great information...
The clinic [ORM Fertility Oregon] is very nice and staff mostly nice. However, what matters the most to me is good results and that I did not have. I did go on to have success at another clinic, I got better results in 1 retrieval 2 years older than at ORM combined- yes combined!! Sadly, I do not think they have a great lab...They sent the wrong lining report to my new clinic which caused me to take additional meds that I didn’t need...

Take a note pad because he gives great information. Make sure to write down any questions before you meet with him so you don’t forget to ask.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with John Hesla at ORM Fertility Oregon?
Dr. Hesla did mostly make me feel like a human although I wouldn’t be sure he’d even recognize me if he saw me outside the clinic.
Describe the protocols John Hesla used in your cycles at ORM Fertility Oregon and their degree of success.
Dr. Hesla suggested I keep taking prenatal vitamins with folic acid and also suggested I take Ovasitol. He said he suggests me trying 4 cycles of timed intercourse with Letrozole and statistically if it doesn’t work by the 4th time, I’ll need to move to the next step which is IVF. For reference I’m 35 with PCOS and my husbands sperm is above average quality.
Fast forward, that didn’t work so we did 3 egg retrievals, 2 transfers, and 1 embryo didn’t survive thaw. We did change up the protocol each time but didn’t get better results. On the 3rd retrieval we used human growth hormone but results were similar/not great.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at ORM Fertility Oregon.
I went back to ORM as an outside patient for monitoring after 3 retrievals and 2 transfers failed. They sent the wrong lining report to my new clinic which caused me to take additional meds that I didn’t need. They also didn’t send stat blood work in the time they said they would and it was impossible to reach anyone after 3pm even when I showed up. When I asked for a discount (mind you, I’m paying over $1000 for stat results, and correct results, which I did not get) they banned me from outside monitoring! I couldn’t believe how poorly I was treated after their mistakes. To ban me I guess was to prevent more liability issues arising but what they should do is get their coordination in order! Very disorganized and very hard to reach. It was very stressful trying to handle all of that during an already stressful time.
