How was your experience with Karine Chung at USC?
Dr Chung sat down with us and explained in great detail our options, risks, and benefits of treatment. She went over every possible detail and answered every question we had. We never felt rushed or dismissed. At the appointments where she promised to meet with us, she always kept her word. She predicted we would get 4 embryos and we ended up with 7, exceeding our expectations which made us very happy.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Karine Chung at USC?
Go in with a list of questions, ask everything you want to know. She has all the answers and will take the time.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Karine Chung at USC?
Dr Chung and everyone else in the clinic was very caring and gentle with us throughout our treatment and always made time to answer questions or listen to our concerns.
Describe the protocols Karine Chung used in your cycles at USC and their degree of success.
I completed a typical egg retrieval cycle using hormone injections daily and for the first week had appointments every other day at the clinic. After that, it was every day to monitor progress. Dr Chung used the best method for our situation, including ICSI to create embryos. She recommended we do not risk harm to the embryos by testing them with PGS and we agreed, because we have had no abnormal embryos in the past through our recurrent miscarriages (cause by a uterine septum).
Describe your experience with your nurse at USC. (Assigned nurse: Leslie Odom)
Every nurse was very warm, friendly, and informative at every appointment. I always felt like I was in good hands.
Describe your experience with USC.
They are great at communicating and providing warm bedside manner. Sometimes the finance department was not the best at communicating our bills clearly but was always cleared up by asking more questions. They do their treatments in the morning, so the earlier you arrive, the better!
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at USC.
The waiting room was pleasant with free coffee and plenty of seating. There is a sign in sheet that is used to call patients in order. Some days were busier than others but we never had to wait an intolerable length of time.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Karine Chung at USC.
The consultation was $350 I believe, but went towards our treatment once we decided to move forward. The clinic offers a 40% discount for the fertility preservation treatment due to my cancer diagnosis. This was very helpful to us. We also had to do a FDA screening because we likely will have to use a surrogate in the future. The clinic also set us up with organizations that provided free medication to cancer patients which was so incredibly helpful, they took a lot of stress off our shoulders. Our total costs after discount was around $7,000.
Describe Karine Chung's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at USC.
Dr Chung recommends we transfer 2 embryos when we decide to move forward with IVF, to increase our chances of having one baby. I agree with this.

Dr. Chung was the first doctor willing to try something different compared to the four other clinics I had originally looked into. She told me I didn’t need to do PGS testing and I could do a fresh cycle rather then a frozen and highly recommended it in my case. Which, in the long run would save me $$. Any time I had a question i would email her and she responded quickly.... She is seeing me as an onco-patient (cancer), so, there is an added discount to my costs.

How was your experience with Karine Chung at USC?
Dr. Chung made me feel comfortable from the moment I met her. At first, I wasn’t so sure I would like USC as a fertility clinic, but upon my first visit I realized that is where I belonged from the get go. She answered all the questions my husband and I had and she was very compassionate toward our concerns. She explained everything thoroughly. Every other doctor I went to visit before her would tell me I had to do PGS testing, but she advised against it. When I asked her why, she explained it and it made sense to me. She said I didn’t need it because I am so young and healthy and my overall genetic testing came back great. She is seeing me as an onco-patient (cancer), so, there is an added discount to my costs. She let me know where I could apply for more grants. I was applying for a grant and needed her to fill out a portion of it. She helped me out and did it quickly, it seemed like she genuinely cared and I felt like she was rooting for me.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Karine Chung at USC?
Be prepared to feel at home. She gets right to the point and is ready to get you your baby.

Describe the protocols Karine Chung used in your cycles at USC and their degree of success.
Unfortunately, my cycle with Dr. Chung was canceled due to ovarian cysts which I had to get surgically removed. But next month I am going back to start our first cycle. I am super excited.
Describe your experience with your nurse at USC. (Assigned nurse: Leslie Oldham)
Our nurse was ready to answer all of our questions. She helped us to apply to a few grants to help us pay for medication. She said to email her with any questions and would get back to us promptly. She wasn’t kidding she always reached out to us within the day.
Describe your experience with USC.
Even though USC is a huge establishment, their clinic has a wonderful calm, welcoming vibe. They have a wonderful facility. Always kept clean. It seemed as if each doctor had their own rooms to examine their patients. The technology they used seemed upto date, possibly because they are affiliated with the university. I can’t think of any weaknesses to add. I’m looking forward to starting treatment at USC with Dr. Chung.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Karine Chung at USC.
Due to my case of being seen as a cancer patient. I was given a 40% discount on a portion of the IVF procedure. The procedure will be $9,000 as opposed to $12,000
Describe Karine Chung's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at USC.
Dr. Chung mentioned to me that she wanted to transfer two rather then one and if we would be ok with that. My husband and I agreed we would be comfortable with two. She didn’t pressure us, but she felt like the chance of one surviving in my case is higher then if we were to only transfer a single embryo.

How was your experience with Karine Chung at USC?
From our first meeting with Dr. Chung for a consultation, we knew she was a great fit for us. She is incredibly knowledgeable in her field and extremely thorough. That day she took the time to explain everything, but also approached the interaction with us in a way that made it feel like we were a team. Moving forward in our journey, she always provided a wealth of information and support. She was always supportive and hopeful through our three failed IUIs. Now that we are working through IVF, I could not imagine working with another doctor. She has been so supportive! Always available when I had questions during my egg retrieval process and when I had concerns afterward and leading up to our fresh transfer. It ended in a chemical pregnancy, but throughout the time where we were tracking our beta, she was realistic, but optimistic which was super helpful because it was such a sensitive time. We just saw her this week for our frozen transfer. It is always a pleasure to work with her and we always feel at ease.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Karine Chung at USC?
Don't be afraid to ask questions. She is so kind, thoughtful, and thorough. She always put our minds at ease.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Karine Chung at USC?
Dr. Chung is incredibly kind and knowledgable. She is able to be a superb medical professional at the same time as being a compassionate cheerleader.

We have a nurse who is our contact person for any questions and Dr. Chung makes herself available for questions anytime as well.
Describe the protocols Karine Chung used in your cycles at USC and their degree of success.
For my egg retrieval we used a long protocol. I was on birth control and Lupron then Gonal-F and Menopur. I responded very well and 25 eggs were retrieved, of which 5 reached blastocyst stage.
Describe your experience with your nurse at USC. (Assigned nurse: Leslie and Pam)
Leslie was our initial nurse who was our point of contact for all of our IUI procedure and the start of our IVF. She left on maternity leave shortly before we began stimulation for our egg retrieval. We have been working with Pam ever since and she has been just as wonderful. Both Leslie and Pam are incredibly compassionate and patient. Both have always been available to answer questions and provide reassurance at any time.
Describe your experience with USC.
We love our clinic! It was recommended by my primary doctor and we could not be happier. Everyone there is super supportive and kind. When we have seen other doctors for scans and monitoring, they have all been exemplary. The front desk staff is patient and kind and the folks in the financial department are too.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at USC.
Monitoring hours were very convenient for both mine and my husbands schedule. They are early from 7:30-9:30 on weekdays and around the same time on weekends. There were options seven days a week which was incredibly helpful. If I had any conflicts, the clinic was willing to work with us. There was sometimes a long wait, but it varied and did not impact my work schedule.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Karine Chung at USC.
Since I am an employee at USC, I did receive a slight discount on select portions of our IVF retrieval/fresh transfer, but not on our Frozen Embryo Transfer. The IVF retrieval, fresh transfer and medication was around $15,000 and the Frozen Embryo Transfer and medication was about $3600.
Describe Karine Chung's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at USC.
Our doctor used standard guidelines for our transfers given my age and diagnosis. She was very clear about the potential outcomes of transferring two embryos. We felt very comfortable with the information provided to move forward with her recommendations.

2. Take 2 alkaseltzer tablets in the morning.

Describe your experience with USC.
There's usually a wait and sometimes it's hard to know for how long. Mornings are particularly busy. Like most fertility clinics they don't take insurance. The financial counselors are great but sometimes it's hard to figure out all of the fees. They don't validate parking. There are great places to eat around.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Karine Chung at USC.
Roughly $11k IVF, roughly $5K meds, though we weren't charged for everything because we did not complete the cycles. Sometimes there were additional fees such as ultrasounds.
