Larisa Gavrilova-Jordan

Dr. Jordan takes the time to explain treatment options, which is critical, especially in the field of reproductive medicine. I appreciate this quality, because not only do I have important decisions to make about my care and my future, but I’m also paying out of pocket for treatment. Also, while experiencing infertility and undergoing treatment, I always felt comforted by Dr. Jordan's light-heartedness and confidence. Even before we achieved our goal of a pregnancy, I had all of the trust and faith in the world in Dr. Jordan and her care.

As Dr. Jordan is talking with you, take notes — not just notes on what she says but also notes on questions that come up in your mind while she is talking. There’s a lot of information to absorb throughout the process, but she and her staff are always there to help.

A few years ago, well before my husband and I decided to start trying to conceive, I was diagnosed with a rare genetic blood clotting disorder called protein S deficiency. It didn’t require ongoing management — just no use of most birth control pills, and I’d have to use Lovenox, a pregnancy-safe blood thinner, during the first trimester of pregnancy. Considering my protein S deficiency and our goals, Dr. Jordan recommended taking a conservative approach — meaning stimulate my ovaries to produce a small handful of follicles and, therefore, quality eggs — to manage my clotting risk. Before my IVF cycle, Dr. Jordan put me on a special birth control pill for my condition, but I developed a DVT, which we initially thought would delay or cancel the cycle. Dr. Jordan and her team worked efficiently to research my condition and bring together a multidisciplinary team of doctors (maternal-fetal medicine specialist and hematologist) who could determine if and how I could undergo IVF, pregnancy and the postpartum period. She came back to me within days with a plan for managing my risk for clotting that she said she felt very confident about and that kept us on track for our scheduled cycle (with little tweaks): First, we wouldn’t use birth control pills to maximize how my ovaries respond to the medications, which wasn’t a concern because of my age and egg quality. Not using birth control pills meant timing the IVF cycle off of my natural cycle. Second, we would skip the dose of blood thinner I would've taken right before the egg retrieval, and Dr. Jordan would use as few pokes as possible to grab the eggs. Third, we would do a frozen cycle versus a fresh cycle to give my body time to recover from any potential OHSS between the egg retrieval and transfer. Dr. Jordan's treatment strategy was successful: We started with 10 follicles, which dropped to nine by the second ultrasound and remained at nine through the last ultrasound before the retrieval. Dr. Jordan retrieved seven eggs, six of which fertilized using ICSI. All six made it to day 5 blastocyst. Dr. Jordan didn't recommend PGS testing, so we did not test the embryos.

IUI cost around $1,000 per cycle — including ultrasound, trigger shot, sperm collection and washing and the insemination. One IVF cycle will cost around $15,000 — including medications, clinic fees and lab fees.

We transferred one embryo, which according to American Society for Reproductive Medicine guidelines, is appropriate for my age (younger than 35).

Dr. Jordan is extremely busy but she makes you feel like she can sit and talk to you all day. She is excellent at telling you what to expect and what each procedure entails. She could do a better job with the details of what comes next in the process. I am a nurse so I feel like I ask appropriate questions as to what to expect. That information isn’t always readily given to you.

Don’t hesitate to go see her!

Egg retrieval medications started with SQ Lupron injections morning and night (on a Wednesday). Then a couple days later we added SQ Menopur and SQ Follistim injections in the evening. The next Monday, Wednesday and Friday I went into the clinic and had my estrogen levels drawn and transvaginal ultrasounds for follicle counts. On Wednesday’s visit my estrogen levels were high and I was told to start drinking 40-60 grams of protein every 4-6 hours and to decrease my Follistim dosage that evening. On Friday’s visit my estrogen levels doubled and I was told to stop the menopur and Follistim altogether and begin drinking 80 grams of protein every 4 hours. My retrieval was on the next Monday and I had to do the HCG trigger shot over the weekend prior to. They retrieved 30 eggs under sedation and told me to continue drinking the protein to prevent Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome.

Ultrasound appointments were generally done first thing in the morning, starting at 8:00 am. You’re seen as you get there so people usually come early to get in line.

I do not recall specific costs.

Dr. Jordan prefers single embryo transfers because the risk of multiples having health problems/death is not worth it.

Dr. Jordan was very knowledgeable about fertility. I appreciated the fact that she personalized my treatment plan every step of the way. After seeing 2 other fertility specialist Dr. Jordan was very candid with me about what I could personally be doing to improve my chances of a healthy pregnancy. She recommends were blunt and concise but ultimately helped me to a positive pregnancy test for the first time in my life. Even though I only have one embryo left and positive test ended in a chemical pregnancy I still feel like their is hope for my husband and I to have a beautiful baby in our image one day.

When seeing Dr. Jordan please be sure to share both your emotional & physical emotions with her. I personally feel like in doing so she can honestly treat you & emotionally as well. Fertility treatments have a lot of ups & downs. Trust me you will need the support in every way you can get it.

My egg retrieval cycle began with both me & my spouse taking 100mg tabs of doxycycline twice daily for the first 7 days for the cycle. On Day 1 to 13, I administered AM & PM Lupron Microdose injections 20 units. On cycle day 3 to 5, I added Follistim 250 IU & Menopur 75IU. As a result, 17 eggs were retrieve at my egg retrieval.

My professional fees for Dr. Jordan were $3000, Lab costs $4500, Medications $6000.

Due to my age, 39, we decided to transfer 2- 5 day embryos.

If could, I would rate Dr. jordan as a 20 instead of a 10/10. She is amazing and so knowledgeable of what she is doing. If anyone can help, she can and I value her opinion very highly. I would say that Dr. Jordan is the doctor that I most trust and would not want to see any other. We have moved cities and we are already planning to return to her for future embryo transfers. I would travel hours to see her. I have suggested her to some friends going through infertility. She is simply amazing and will be completely honest with you, never deceiving or creating false hopes. Very truthful! She cares and is extremely compassionate. I value her very much!

There is no advice needed as she will do everything to understand you and your case, and will do everything to help and turn your visits into a positive pregnancy test. After many years of trying, my husband and I met with her, and she never gave up on me. I have PCOS and other barriers that prevented me from getting pregnant and she never gave up, always wanting to understand what was not working. Her perseverance allowed us to find out what was wrong and how to overcome it. She is amazing!

Dr. Jordan discovered that for us IVF was the best option. She followed my cycle closely, and I saw her at each appointment. She was very involved and knew exactly what was going on and what I had already been through. She knows her patients very well and never forgets little details. Always explains very well and is willing to answer any questions her patients may have. For each result she explained what that meant and what the next action plan was. She covers every base and if there is a chance in a pregnancy, she will not give up on you.

Dr. Jordan was amazing and explaining why a single embryo transfer was best for us. She gave us absolutely every single reason and explained why for each of them. She does not make her decision lightly or careless. Every single decision she makes is very thoughtful and carefully considered, allowing us to feel at peace with her care.

I have never had a doctor to comfort me after I received bad news. But she did that. I truly needed that. She always encouraged me to keep the faith . Dr. Jordan made my husband feel a part of the process & that made him happy ! I fully believe in what she says!

Dr. Jordan is very direct & blunt. It may come as a surprise - but she means well & truly cares.

When I first visited Dr. Jordan , my cycles were irregular. She prescribed me Provera to bring on a period. After my period started , I was able to schedule an HSG with the clinic. The HSG was performed & that’s when Dr. Jordan discovered my tubes were blocked. After a few more visits - it was determined that I would have to undergo tubal removal , to better enable IVF.

You most make a deposit of 3600 that goes towards the clinic. I was told medications would be around 3000-5000. And the lab procedures would be around 5000

I trust her decision. I’m a bit heartbroken that I have to have my Fallopian tubes removed - but I feel it is for the best.

I felt that Dr. Jordan could be pushy at some point when it comes to treatment. Our biggest issue would be that I had to travel over 2 hours for each appointment. This means a lot of time off work. When discussing the ivf process, we thought we could monitor in our home town but due to PCOS that was quickly shut down. I was upset with the fact that she wouldn’t allow me to monitor in my home town but as we went through the ivf monitoring I was very thankful that we travelled to Augusta for Dr Jordan to complete our monitoring.

Dr. Jordan can come off very short but she knows what she is talking about. You have to trust the process.

Dr. Jordan had us complete 3 months of letrozole and time sexual inter course. When this didn’t work we moved on to IVF. We skipped iui because our issues weren’t producing eggs or sperm. The issues was the egg and spent coming together. Once we decided on ivf we set up a consultation appointment and everything move along quickly from there. My ivf monitoring only took around 10 days as my eggs progressed very well on the meds prescribed. We were able to retrieved 14 eggs all fertilized but only 6 made it to 5 day blastocyst.

Dr. Jordan office was $3900. This covered everything in the cycle. The lab was $4500. Meds were close to $6000

We chose to only transfer one embryo at a time. This is due to age and the fact that at this time we have no other issues.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Jordan. She is an absolute miracle worker. She took excellent care of me and my husband while we underwent IVF. Her protocols are unparalleled. She succeeded in getting me and my husband pregnant with our first embryo transfer, and we now have the sweetest, most adorable baby and are eternally grateful. Dr. Jordan is confident, dedicated, caring, intelligent, wonderful, amazing and I could go on and on. It is truly an honor and privilege to have a doctor so invested in your success.

Trust Dr. Jordan completely. She is the absolute greatest and only wants the absolute best for you.

We trusted Dr. Jordan entirely and followed the protocol she designed for us. She successfully got us pregnant with our first frozen transfer.

I do not remember specifics of the cost however I know it is much more affordable compared to other clinics in Georgia and surrounding states.

Dr. Jordan adjusts to the situation and there were a few times I thought we would be doing something and then we weren't. This last visit I thought I was getting an ovulation trigger shot for example and she decided I was late enough in my cycle that we would wait for my period and do another round of Clomid before trying IUI next month. It was more confusing than upsetting - but I would rather my doctor adjust to the situation than to stick to their guns stubbornly and not get the results.

She takes your infertility personally and will adjust to the situation to get you to where you want to be - pregnant. She is blunt and will tell you what you need to hear.

The first appointment was meeting the team, discussing family and personal histories, and getting blood work workups to get hormone levels and to test me for genetic screenings. The following appointment was a saline sonogram (SIS) and she was very clear about what she was doing and made sure my husband and I could see what she was explaining on the sonogram. The SIS was to see if my uterus was fibroid/polyp free, fallopian tubes were patent (open), ovaries - to check my egg reserves. At our 3rd appointment she went over our mild infertility issues. She discussed that there is likely a cervical mucus issue for me along with my anovulation and my husband's slight motility issues. She suggested that we do IUI to bypass the cervix and insert more sperm straight into the uterus to help more sperm be where they need to be. She explained the whole process and was very reassuring that we should get pregnant within 1 or 2 IUI procedures. Since I respond to Clomid I will take Clomid and I will come back for an ultrasound to check that I responded to the medication and that my egg/s are ready to descend on CD 10-12. Then about 2 days after that my husband and I will both come in to do the IUI.

I have paid $275 for my SIS. My genetic preconception tests and hormone blood work was almost completely covered through my insurance - I owed $10 of a $1250 bill. Dr. Jordan works very hard to keep the clinic's costs reasonable compared to what I have seen some other clinics charge.

Dr. Jordan is very knowledgeable. She pays close attention to results and looks for the underlying issue. I had been seeing my OB for 2.5 years before visiting Dr. Jordan and not once was anything said about my TSH level. Dr. Jordan put me on thyroid medicine immediately. She also noticed that my husbands blood results were off and was the one to determine he had an issue with his pituitary gland. She was laid back, honest, and always patient with us.

Ask all the questions you need to ask and trust her answers. She knows what she is doing.

I was on the microdose flare protocol. They chose this protocol based on my blood work. This protocol was very successful for me. They were able to retrieve 24 eggs, 16 of which were mature. I did not get OHSS.

Doctors Fee - $2900* Lab Fee - $3650 Anesthesia Fee - $375 Embryo Cryopreservation <=8 - $475 First year of storage - $435 Injection Training - $25 *I received a discount on my doctor fee due to the clinic being 4 hours away from my home.

My doctor did recommend transferring only one embryo. She made this recommendation based on the quality of the embryo.

I had a great experience with her. So much so that I would travel back to her office for any future embryo transfers versus starting treatment at a facility where I am geographically. I cannot wait to see her again.

Be open and honest with her about all your frustrations and previous medical care. She truly cares about you as a person and wants to help you conceive.

I took two injections each night for about a week and then did my trigger shot. In between these days I had blood work and ultrasounds to make sure my eggs were developing properly. Then I had the egg retrieval and five days later the embryo transfer to my womb. It was a quick process.

It was very efficient!

Altogether my husband and I paid around $9500 for medications, visits, and treatments.

I'm thankful that she only implanted one embryo. My body is small and my baby was very large.

Dr Jordan is a very straight-forward person who immediately gives the impression that she is highly experienced, well trained, specially educated, and fully capable of handling your case. She presents all of the facts as they are and then tells you your chances, possible setbacks, and even explains the financial details. It's easy to see that fertility/infertility is her passion and that she cares more about success than money. Her bedside manner can come off as slightly flippant because she is so knowledgable, but she will listen when you advocate for yourself and gives you her full attention.

Be willing to let her have control because she knows what she is doing, but also be prepared to speak up for yourself when you have concerns.

I am 31 and always suspected endometriosis but it was never confirmed. Dr Jordan also didn't seem concerned with a diagnosis because it required an extra surgery, but when she saw an endometrioma on my saline sonogram and a separate uterus, she scheduled a laprascopy ASAP. Within two weeks I was in surgery and diagnosed with severe Stage 4 endometriosis. My Fallopian tubes both needed to be removed and Dr Jordan spent an additional 3 hours excising adhesions and scar tissue. My AMH was 3.4 so my protocol for IVF was micro-dose lupron antagonist. I did 20mcg lupron twice a day with 75mg menopur and 250mg Follistim each night for 10 days. I had 11 mature follicles at my last scan and 13 eggs were retrieved. All were fertilized using ICSI due to male factor infertility. 8 fertilized, 6 grew normally, transferred 1 (we were given the option of transferring 2 since my endo was so severe but we chose 1) and 5 embryos made it to freeze. My beta 8 days later was positive and I'm currently 37 weeks pregnant with one boy.

7,000$ plus medications

Dr. Gavrilova-Jordan was always honest about the likelihood of sucess. She discussed all options fully and made recommendations, but ultimately supported our decisions. Although we had a very tough case involving Diminished Ovarian Reserve and male factor infertility, we continued to try every option including donors and IVF. I would recommend her to anyone.

Be aware that she is very blunt, but she cares deeply about patient sucess.

We tried 3 IUI cycles, then IUI cycles with donor sperm. After years of continued good response to clomid, Dr. Gavrilova-Jordon felt comfortable moving forward with IVF. We were able to do one IVF cycle and transfer a 3 day embryo, which did not result in a pregnancy. I would have moved forward with another cycle if we hadn't moved.

If I arrived early enough, the monitoring appointment was quick. If you end up being the last on in the door, you might wait for hours.

Over the course of our 7 IUIs and 1 IVF, we spent $25,000.

She is very straightforward and very blunt but she gets amazing results. She also is very organized and makes sure to take the time to explain everything to you. She also will make sure that your physical health and mental health are optimized before she proceeds with treatment. She doesn’t want to treat and charge money if she doesn’t think she will be successful.

Don’t let her scare you. Her bluntness is because she cares.

Selective embryo transfer

Dr. Jordan is amazing. She’s extremely knowledgeable. She has an accent , Sometimes it’s hard to understand her , but for the most part it’s not that bad. Her prices are the best in the state. I wouldn’t want another doctor.

In your first appointment, eat before you go. You will be there for hours. Also, write down any questions you may have before your appointment so you won’t forget.

Dr. Jordan’s office allowed me to do my monitoring closer to him. Their office was 2 hours away. They coordinated with my reproductive endocrinologist. I was able to stay close to home for monitoring.

For medication, retrieval, and transfer I paid under 20k.

Dr Jordan is the best doctor I’ve ever had. She is compassionate, intelligent and very encouraging. She makes sure she goes above and beyond to make me comfortable and to make sure I understand the process.

You will be pleasantly surprised at how caring she is.

We’ve done a procedure to remove polyps from my uterus. We’ve done and HSG test and had my husband’s sperm tested. We’ve done many cycles with femera and ultrasound monitoring and lifestyle change but it hasn’t worked. Dr. Jordan suggested our next step should be IVF, but we currently do not have the money.

Dr Jordan was very attentive and caring from the beginning. She was always optimistic about my treatment even when I wasn't. She explains everything in a way that is easy to understand and she always ensures all questions are answered.

Trust Dr. Jordan. She knows what treatment is best for you. She is an expert and very good at her profession.

I started seeing Dr Jordan after my OBGYN referred me. I had been a year without taking birth control and no positive pregnancy test. My OBGYN had me try multiple clomid cycles which also failed and 1 unsuccessful IUI. Dr Jordan recommended letrozole and I underwent several cycles. After each cycle resulted in a negative pregnancy test, with Dr Jordan's advice I decided to try IVF. I used gonal-f, leuprolide,and menopur to induce ovulation. I had 5 day embryo transfer which resulted in my first positive pregnancy test. Currently I am 12 weeks pregnant.

Dr Jordan preferred single embryo transfer due to my age and it being my first pregnancy. She explained the risks of more than 1 embryo transfer at a time.

Absolutely amazing doctor! It was very nerve wracking at 30 years old to find out I have extremely low ovarian reserve, along with a male infertility factor. After two years of trying we lost all hope until we found Dr. Jordan. She assured us she would get us pregnant and sure enough, 7 months later we became pregnant with twins via IVF! I can’t say enough about how wonderful a doctor Dr Jordan is and how she has changed out lives. She created two miracles despite a grim initial diagnosis! I would happily recommend Dr. Jordan to anyone going through infertility. She is a miracle worker!

She is a great, personable doctor who pays close attention to each individual patient. Amazing bedside manner, always reassuring, an absolute miracle worker!

Three IUI attempts. IFV with lupron protocol. ICSI after egg retrieval.

Transferred two embryo's due to one embryo being four cell and the other 8 cell. Four cell embryo's chances of making it to blastocyst stage were not high and would not be able to freeze.
