Linda Sung

Dr. Sung has a cheery personality and lots of optimism. She was always upfront with everything and explained every step along the way. She always provided information to back up what she said. She answered every question I ever had and I always felt more confident after speaking with her. She gave us enough time with her, no matter how busy the office was. Highly recommend her!!

Ask her anything you want. She will answer everything!

Standard ivf costs.

I’m young and the embryos that they got were supposedly very good. Dr. Sung recommended one embryo being transferred since my chance of twins were so high. I requested two be transferred and after evaluating my health, she said it was fine. Currently 7wks with two!

Linda Sung is an excellent reproductive endocrinologist. She fully explained all procedures and risks. She was delicately blunt with all results. She always had a plan and options no matter what our results were. She had a terrific bedside manner. We always felt comfortable with her.

Our original diagnosis was unexplained fertility. We tried cycles just using blood test to detect ovulation, cycles using clomid without assistance, cycles using clomid with IUI, cycles using fertility injections with IUI, and cycles using fertility injections with IVF. We did a total of 12 IUI's and 3 IVF cycles. In the end it was determined, that I have poor egg quality.

Unfortunately my insurance did not cover infertility treatment except for standard lab bloodwork. All procedures, cycles, monitoring, visits were out of pocket. IUI's cost me $995 each for low global monitoring and my IVF cycles averaged about $15,000 each. I believe costs have increased now.

Dr Sung really took the time in our consultation appointments to talk with me and go over any concerns or questions I had. She seemed to have a more conservative approach but she was always very nice and caring.

The portal system doesn't always work so make sure you are in top of checking it if you are waiting for instructions.

Dr Sung started me on chlomit for the first 8 or 9 cycles. One cycle I was switched to a different pill that was similar to chlomit but it was just to see if maybe my body responded to this brand better. After that we switched to injections. Gonal F, medipure & gonerellx. I did HCG injections for all 13 cycles of IUI.

I have Aetna. They wouldn't cover the first 6 IUI cycles because I was using donor sperm. So I had to pay out of pocket the first 6 cycles. The doctors office had a Global payment plan they offered which was just about $1000.00 per cycle. It was helpful. After that, Aetna started to cover the IUI cycles so I only had the copayment. Aetna will not cover any IVF procedures or medications associated with IVF so that will be out of pocket for me. The doctors office does offer a plan to help but it's still very expensive. It will cost about 25k per cycle.

Dr Sung really seems like she cares for her patients. She wants to see them succeed on their path and she takes the time to discuss it with you on consultation appointments. I think sometimes she is a little more conservative in her approach but overall I have been very happy with her as my doctor.

Be your own advocate. If you think there is testing that should be done or at least discussed then push for it

The first 8 or 9 cycles I was given chlomit. Sometimes the dosages would increase to help produce more follicles. After that I was switched to a different pill but basically the same just to see if my body would react better to it. The last 3 times I did injections of gonal f, gonerellx and medipure. HCG injections I was given fir all cycles

I have Aetna and they would not cover the first 6 IUI cycles. The doctors office had a global payment plan of about a $1000.00 per cycle. After the 6 cycles my insurance company covered the additional IUI's. But they will not cover IVF at all. That will have to be all out of pocket cost for me which is really expensive for the procedures, tests and medications.

Lover Dr sung. I felt like she understood what I was going through. She asked questions to know my situation... I asked questions which she always answered. Great bedside manner. Very gentle while speaking and performing procedures. Gave step by step of what was happening and when.

Sometimes the wait was long but it was worth it to have a dr who knew what she was doing

Dr sung sent me for a hsg test to make sure there were no blockages in my tubes. I had blood drawn each week along with Sonos to measure my lining and see where I was at in cycle. The first course of action was a medicated cycle with clomid. After that we did 2 cycles of medication clomid trigger shot and iui together.

I had my copay... I paid out of pocket for some blood... other than that it was covered by insurance

She is an excellent doctor. She explained everything clearly and to the point. She explained all risks and how she would handle things if it was her in my situation. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a fertility doctor. If it wasn't for her, I would not have my beautiful twin girls.

Put your trust in her. She knows what she is doing. Be completely honest and up front about what you have going on and what you are hoping to achieve by going to her.

The costs were high, but that was to be expected as IVF is not covered by my health insurance. It was somewhere in the neighborhood of about $18,000.

The doctor told us the percentages of transferring more than one embryo and how it could increase the likelihood of an embryo implanting in the uterus and also told us how much it could increase the likelihood of a multiples pregnancy.

She is great. Treats you like a real person.

I didn't like clomid. After 2 cycles, I said I'd had enough & she respected that. We went back ivf, doing a second cycle & it worked.

My health insurance covered everything except the copays & the donor sperm samples. I don't know what the costs of rsny were.

Out of all the doctors we Interviewed, we liked her the best. She seemed the most knowledgeable and we felt most comfortable with her. Plus, we are self pay. Her program appeared to be the most inclusive most once we compared apples to apples.

Write. Down. Everything. And ask questions. Write them down as they occur to you because there is sooooo much information coming st you. I refer to it as “going down the rabbit hole”

Pretty efficient, but I hate the yelling across the room if the names.

15,000 per cycle plus meds

Dr. Sung is a great & is passionate about helping her patients.. she is very good at what she does.. I just wish my treatments landed on the days she was in the office. I feel like her guidance has always been correct.

Trust her, she will guide you in the right direction

Once we got all the initial bloodwork done and the baseline sono she didn’t push me to do anything I didn’t want to do

So far I just have had my copay with no deductible or co-insurance

Dr. Sung is very thorough. She is open to listening if you have questions so that she can ultimately achieve what everyone who goes to her for a baby. I feel that she is very knowledgeable And I hope that although I love the people at the office I am blessed with my little one soon

Listen carefully, take notes if it makes you comfortable.

My insurance paid 80 percent of my procedure and my insurance covered most meds.

She was very understanding and sympathetic, she took the time to answer all of my questions and I did not feel rushed even though it was a very busy office. She was my main doctor but I also saw many other doctors in the practice and all were very good

Make sure you have realistic expectations explained. It's a roller coaster!

My insurance not participate in IVF so the meds were expensive

Dr Sung was an amazing Dr. when I sat with her. I didn't see her often until retrieval, follow up and transfer but when i did she was patient and kind. The communication was lacking from Nurse to patient to Dr. I feel as if I wasnt being taken seriously during my TWW as I started bleeding and was told it was normal. I was watching my progesterone drop and was told I was in normal limits despite seeing it fall. I feel like this was major miscommunication and not relayed to Dr. Sung. I did speak with her afterwards and we discussed my next protocol and that I needed to speak with her and not just the nurses as I felt brushed off. She apologized profusely. I feel that it isn't a situation with the Dr's as it is a situation with the place and being over packed and consistently busy. I don't think they can keep up or keep a personal relationship. More of a factory like atmosphere than a personal clinic.

you're in good hands!

clomid to start with HCG trigger shot and a few IUI's because she trusted my body could get pregnant with that.

My insurance covered everything. I just had to pay a copay for progesterone, once.
