Josh Skorupski

I would (and do) highly recommend Dr Skorupski. Very good communicator, patient with questions, used non-medical terms to help me understand, and was always open with risks. He never guaranteed success (something no one should promise) but was always optimistic.

Ask questions and trust the process.

Friendly staff, always felt personal during visits I was hospitalized for 6 days due to hyperstimulation and Dr Skorupski was available to us around the clock

2016 cycle: can’t remember the medication but we used injections and had an egg retrieval. Due to hyperstimulation, we froze all embryos. We transferred two (we picked boy/girl) after hormone prep (estrogen patch, estrogen pill, and PIO) and had a successful pregnancy/Delivery. 2018: first cycle was cancelled after I did not respond to hormone prep. Second cycle we used gonal f for stimulation, then added estrogen and PIO after trigger shot. Transfer of one tested embryo results in negative preganancy test. Third cycle, we went back to hormone prep but added a viagra vaginal suppository. Transfer of one tested embryo resulted in negative pregnancy test. Fourth cycle, we have done a miscarriage panel and discovered Factor 2 mutation. We went back to gonal f for stimulation plus viagra suppository, Plaquenil, lovenox, and baby aspirin. We transferred two untested embryos and are in the two week wait

Always friendly, answered all questions in a timely manner. Showed compassion for us

It’s harder to get someone on the phone now vs our first cycle in 2016. But overall, everyone is friendly and ready to help. Strength - multiple locations and for most visits you are able to go to one you choose

2016 cycle: approximately $22k for retrieval and transfer 2018: approx $5k per cycle with medication. The physician fees for the cycle after the cancelled cycle were waived

Yes, the guidance had changed between our 2016 and 2018 cycles. He updated us and helped us decide what was right for us after several failed transfers

Dr is very knowledgeable, knows how to communicate the process, what to expect, both the good and potential bad. He was very involved from start until now. For any challenges I was having, the doctor would call me personally if the news was not good. He as always very supportive and happy to say, I am 6 weeks pregnant.

He is very patient and understanding.

The office staff and nurses were very caring and involved in making sure I understood all instructions. Doctor is always available for my many questions during appointments and I never felt rushed.

Because I was already in peri menopause, doc was very deliberate in everything knowing my age was a huge factor in timing. I did a total of 4 transfers, the first resulting in a chemical pregnancy, the next two resulted in no implantation at all. With each attempt, he adjusted or added to my meds. For our fourth and last attempt , we decided to include Neupogen shot and it worked. I am on Estrace, Mineville patch, Plaqinel, baby aspirin, Lovunox shots, progesterone in oil shots.

Nurse staff was excellent. Always made time to ensure I understood all instructions.

Facility in Beaumont and Houston were top notch. Very up to date on technology and equipment. Facility is very modern and clean. Very comfortable atmosphere. I was able to everything with exception of transfer st the Beaumont office which closest to me.

$10,450 for the donor for eggs, $5,500 for PGS testing. This was not covered by insurance. $1300 for medications not covered by insurance. Each transfer was approximately $6,000. Insurance covered all after deductible and out of pocket were met.

Due to my donors age, there concerns about more than one transfer, higher % of embryo splitting. So first two attempts we only transferred one. Knowing my timing was limited , we decided to transfer two on our third attempt which did not work. We had two embryos left so transferred both on our fourth attempt and we had one that did implant. Currently six weeks pregnant.

I liked him because he explained my diagnose, but not the procedure because i didn’t know what to expect. He does show compassion, and listened to my question and complains. When my husband and I went we asked him to fill our some forms for a grant and he said he would, but at the end we didn’t qualify for it.

Make sure he explains the procedure you’ll be getting done. And whatever you do try to avoid Dr. Bello in Houston.

When I went to Houston go get my IUI I felt like a number. They messed up my procedure because they forgot to defrost my husband’s sperm. Therefore, an appointment that was scheduled for 10am wasn’t until 1:30p. Then, I had to go inthe next day at 8:30a so they could defrost the sperm, didn’t get seen u til 11:20a. I was one of the first patients there and was the last one to leave. By the way, those two procedures were not done by my doctor. When the Dr. Skropuski saw me in Beaumont I was treated like a human.

I’m sorry I don’t remember.

Tammi was working with another nurse that she was training. That nurse was immature, interrupting Tammi when we were trying to scheduled. She was so rude that when I called to let them know that I had taken my trigger shot 30 mins late she just answered cross your finger and pray it works. I was so mad because I had just paid a lot of money and it was a bit stressful situation for her to be telling me that.

Once you get your treatment they send you to the main location in Houston. For Iui you get which ever doctor is available. Basically, you get anyone you do t have a rapport with. That’s one thing I didn’t like. I do like my doctor.

With medicines and freezing of the sperm about 6500-7000

He was good, I just sort of felt like he was after our money. He wanted us to jump strait to IVF and didn't offer any natural alternatives that we could try. But, he may be right that IVF is the only option for us if we want to have kids. I am currently saving up for it now. It is going to take two-three years for me to earn enough money to pay for IVF out of pocket.

He is good, he's just very matter of fact, so you have to be ready to hear that.

I felt like a human because he spoke with us and was very understanding, yet matter of fact. My situation is different than most because it is my husband and his stressful job as an attorney that have given us problems conceiving.

I only got a hysteroscopy. I didn't get to do anything else because I didn't have the funds and didn't want to be in debt. For my hysteroscopy, everything went great. I was very pleased with the results.

Young, kind, detailed, made sure I had followed the instructions before my procedure and that things were clear to me.

The front desk lady wasn't the nicest, but she was pregnant, so I kind of let it slide. Everyone else was friendly. The lady who took my blood was very nice, and the clinic was really clean and orderly. The location of the clinic is close to my house and all of the staff is very kind.

Over 2,000 when it was all over with.

HFI Willowbrook is a busy clinic, but everyone who you come in contact there is wonderful. They are busy because they do a great job! Dr. Skorupski has my complete trust and he has always been very open, honest, and matter-of-fact.

Listen to his advice! We wasted time initially not listening to him, and I wish we would've heeded his advice earlier.

Dr. Skorupski is always willing to discuss any questions we have had at length. I have never felt rushed, and he's even gone out of his way to call us after hours to explain things to us.

I came to Dr. Skorupski due to recurrent pregnancy loss. He recommended IVF with PGS, but allowed us to attempt some medicated cycles first since we weren't "there" yet. I recently had my first transfer and am awaiting results.

Sloane is the best! She sends the most detailed emails so that I rarely have a question of what I need to do. When I do have a question, she always answers it promptly!

The clinic is very busy, so sometimes wait times are long, but I think it's worth it. They are very knowledgable and always take the time to talk things through with you.

Monitoring appointments were always in the morning, and typically you get your lab work first. Then you go back to the waiting room until it is time for the ultrasound. If a doctor is in, they perform the ultrasound, otherwise it is a nurse.

IVF plus medication and PGS testing ended up costing about $30,000 out of pocket

Dr. Skorupski recommended 1 embryo since it was PGS tested, but ultimately left the choice to us.

Dr Skorupski is amazing. He will get the job done no problem. You always see him every visit. He will tell you that your infertility is not your burden anymore and that he will handle it. That is such a relief Staff in the beaumont office needs better training and the financial department you literally have to stay on them. But the doctors can not be held responsible for the lack of a good staff it falls on the administrator. I'm not there for the staff just the great doctors they have .

Make sure you go in there being aggressive and not passive. Know what you want and have your finances in order and ready to go.

Dr Skorupski is very honest and sincere. He will take on your burden and leave you at peace.

We are still starting our process. We have done lab work and a hysteroscopy. One thing I like is Dr Skorupski leaves no stone unturned.

Not organized at all, forgetful. A positive is they will respond to email very quickly.

Each clinic is different. The offices in Houston tend to have better staff with more experience.

Very expensive but all the clinics in the area are pricey .

He took the time to understand our situation and review all our medical records prior to making any recommendations for treatment. I felt like we discussed our options and then once WE were ready to move forward, he let us move at a pace that we appreciated. There was never any pressure to do more or less than what we were comfortable with.

He is a trusted advisor and not just a doctor, hear him out and decide which option is best for you.

I think that the team that was at his office was very caring and truly cared about my outcome. The best person that I dealt with at his office was his sonographer, she was always so positive every time I was there. The egg donor coordinator was located at a separate office and the coordination and communication was not as good with her.

Lindsey took care of the appointment setup and coordination and June took care of me at my appointments. June was the best nurse; I could not have asked for more. She was so compassionate and treated us like she knew we were going to be successful no matter what difficulties we had faced. She was nothing but uplifting.

It was about $11,500 plus medication and clinic fees of $3500.

He was informative and very calming about the process. He listened to our concerns and made us the major decision makers while providing support. At no time did I feel like he was quick to push more expensive treatments just for financial gain. He let us decide what course of treatment we were comfortable with but advised whatever we try to no do so more than 3 times to avoid wasting money or time.

Listen to his knowledge about genetics and realistic approach to treatment.

Dr. Skorupski was very open and honest about our treatment and diagnosis. I felt he was very realstic

Medicated IUI. We are pregnant after the first round

Always good communication and response to messages left.

We are very pleased with all aspects of this experience

$1500 for medicated IUI plus cost of meds

N/a

He were available for all my questions. Very informative. He took the time to explain my results after my HSG. The only thing I wish was other payment options so that the less fortunate can afford treatment.

Have questions you want answered ready at consultation. That way you can take full advantage of your time with him

They were available for all my questions.

The strategy was to do IVF.

Excellent and informative

They were caring clean and well prepared. They were available for all my questions. Patient with all my needs during my HSG appointment. They were the best clinic for my time there. They were just expensive.

The started at $12k but a suggested $30k package was preferred not including medications
