Review of

Louis Weckstein Reproductive Science Center

Dr. Weckstein has an incredible ability to make you feel heard, understood and seen. He does not sugarcoat but also gives you much encouragement and support...Throughout the process, Dr. Weckstein would call himself every day to update. He is an extremely busy man with so many patients under his care and never does he rush you through any calls or conversations. He is optimistic but also firmly realistic in a sense that he gives you the very accurate picture of our odds and prognosis...

The clinic [Reproductive Science Center] has multiple locations in the Bay Area...very professional...Paula [nurse] is amazing. No nonsense, no details left out, and so on point all the time. I felt so assured that she is my case manager because even if something falls through the crack on my side, I know she will catch it. Her communication is like a clock work...Their payment system online is a little rudimentary but that’s pretty much anything critical I have to say...

How was your experience with Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

My husband and I were about to begin our treatment with another doctor at a different clinic, literally a day after we had our consultation call with Dr. Weckstein. After the call, we knew we had to switch over. The depth he covers and leaving nothing unexplained during the call made us so assured that we decided that two months delay starting with a new doctor is worth it. I had a successful retrieval of 12 eggs. Throughout the process, Dr. Weckstein would call himself every day to update. He is an extremely busy man with so many patients under his care and never does he rush you through any calls or conversations. He is optimistic but also firmly realistic in a sense that he gives you the very accurate picture of our odds and prognosis. We ended up with 3 euploid embryos and it was exactly the % Dr. Weckstein predicted in the beginning. After a successful implantation and early pregnancy, I had an unexplained miscarriage at week 7. It was devastating to go through. Dr. Weckstein was compassionate and supportive while making sure I get the medical support I need. We decided to go ahead with the next round of egg retrieval with Dr. Weckstein even though we have two embryos left, considering my age and all.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

He is booked out so far in advance so get on his calendar as early as possible. We had to wait about 5 months for our first consultation.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

Dr. Weckstein has an incredible ability to make you feel heard, understood and seen. He does not sugarcoat but also gives you much encouragement and support. My husband and I always feel we can rely on him completely.

Describe the protocols Louis Weckstein used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center and their degree of success.

Antagonist protocol. Gonal F, Menopur, Cetrotide & Lupron Trigger. 12 eggs retrieved. 6 fertilized. 3 euploids. The next upcoming cycle, Dr. Weckstein is increasing my dosage vs. the first round since my body was taking injections well without any side effects.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Science Center. (Assigned nurse: Paula Miller)

Paula is amazing. No nonsense, no details left out, and so on point all the time. I felt so assured that she is my case manager because even if something falls through the crack on my side, I know she will catch it. Her communication is like a clock work. All I needed to do was follow her lead.

Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center.

The clinic has multiple locations in the Bay Area. I was able to do most of my monitoring at the Los Gatos office close to where I live. Not having to drive to San Ramon office so often especially helped during the retrieval process. The clinic overall is very professional. Their payment system online is a little rudimentary but that’s pretty much anything critical I have to say.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center.

The first round of IVF cycle w/ frozen transfer was covered by insurance and we only paid for the cycle management fee which was less than $500 total. I opted to pay oop for injections to save benefits for treatment and that was around $2200 for retrieval and $350 for frozen transfer. For the upcoming (just) retrieval cycle, I am quoted around $8600. My injections are expected to be around $3100 this time around.

Describe Louis Weckstein's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Reproductive Science Center.

I only wanted to do eSET so the provider and I are on the same page.

Louis Weckstein Reproductive Science Center

Dr. Weckstein and his entire office are super professional. He is kind and honest. ... We retrieved lots of eggs but I was overstimulated and ended up in the ER 3 hours after I left. This time around, after some discussion with Dr. Weckstein, he decided to not overstimulate me with meds and informed me that we would retrieve less eggs as a result and he was right.

Clinic [RSC] is run very efficiently! Every single person you encounter is kind. The only thing I had an issue with was with some of the vaginal ultrasound techs. Overall, the ones I have seen are kind but not all are gentle. One in particular was rough...I think they all need to be told to go in gently as some of us are a lot more sensitive than others. I felt like one of them had the entire probe in me!!

How was your experience with Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

He is honest and delivers news delicately. He explains everything in such a manner that you always comprehend and never leave the appointment confused. Our chances of retrieving a lot of eggs were not great and he let us know that. However, he kept saying all we need is 1 good one. After genetic testing he said that half would probably come back not normal due to my age....he was right. The whole time he kept us informed of what to expect but kept being optimistic for us. We got 1 genetically normal embryo back and he called me with the good news. All I remember his saying is that he was so happy for me. I cried and cried on the phone and I can tell he was genuinely happy for me too. He is a kind man. I know he deals with a lot of patients, but he definitely has fantastic bed side manners overall.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

Don't be afraid to ask questions. He is kind and patient and listens.

Describe the protocols Louis Weckstein used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center and their degree of success.

My last cycle 2018..egg retrieval didn't go as planned (after). We retrieved lots of eggs but I was overstimulated and ended up in the ER 3 hours after I left. This time around, after some discussion with Dr. Weckstein, he decided to not overstimulate me with meds and informed me that we would retrieve less eggs as a result and he was right.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Science Center. (Assigned nurse: Valarie )

My main nurse has been Valari for both cycles. She is excellent! Quick to respond to emails and voicemails. She goes above and beyond! Maybe that is her job for all patients but she makes you feel like you are her only patient. I love her. After we lost our first pregnancy at 5 months, she called me and left me the sweetest message. Even with the second cycle, she spoke nothing but kind and uplifting words to me. She is a wonderful soul!

Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Reproductive Science Center.

That was my one issue with monitoring appointments. I felt as though they were only done during a certain time frame. I had a 3 hour drive to get to the clinic and sometimes those appointments were at horrible times. I would have to leave my house at 4am (to avoid traffic in the city) and get to my appointment on time. It seemed like mid morning appointments were never an option for me. Good thing is that sometimes I would get there so early that they would take me in. Other times, I would have to wait in lobby for my scheduled time. Their website also claims they have an office in Modesto but in fact they do not. That would have been so helpful for me because with each monitoring appointment I wouldn't of had to miss a full day of work. They informed me that that clinic in Modesto cannot get blood tests back in a timely manner or something along those lines. They need to come up with something so that it works for patients that travel from far away such as myself.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center.

I had insurance coverage. I still had to pay around $1500 alone to the clinic and additional fees for genetic testing etc....

Review of

Louis Weckstein Reproductive Science Center

Dr Weckstein genuinely cares for his patients. He was realistic with our odds of success, but encouraging during our finally attempt to use our own eggs. His kind and caring nature, coupled with his expertise was a win all the way around for us. ... Based on my previous IVF cycles (1st resulted in 4 embryos all PGS abnormal, 2nd 3 PGS normal, one FET resulting in early miscarriage and 2 FET failures) and recurrent early miscarriage (7), we opted to try an aggressive protocol for egg quality. 300 Gonal F, 150 menopur, Ganirelix, estrogen priming pre-cycle (pills), HGH and testosterone priming patch (5 days starting CD 3)

Overall I’m very pleased with the clinic [Reproductive Science Center]. ... We opted for a 2 retrieval package for $33K (medications not included). Our first cycle was a complete failure resulting in no embryos from the 6 eggs retrieved and we were able to withdraw from the program with a 50% refund. We’re moving on to donor eggs this next treatment cycle and have opted for an all inclusive guaranteed program (take home baby or full refund) which will cost $42K.

How was your experience with Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

We chose Dr Weckstein after reviewing others experiences through Fertility IQ and we were not disappointed! He’s a fantastic doctor. He has a tremendous amount of experience and is kind and compassionate as well. I was shocked when I sat down for our initial consult and he had already reviewed my entire (and long) medical/fertility history. He had specific/clarifying questions for me and answered all questions and concerns I had. We reviewed all possible options and he let us decide what our next steps were. We were never pressured into decisions or into proceeding with the clinic (which we ultimately did based on our experiences). He was the one to call with updates on our embryo development, etc which was appreciated as we didn’t get that with our other clinic. He was so supportive when having to give disappointing news and I truly value his compassion.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

I brought a notebook with me to take notes and to have my list of questions ready. I definitely used it! He’s a fantastic communicator and I think my appt even ran long because I had so many questions :)

Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center.

I really like the clinic, I have to travel a very long distance for treatment (we live 4 hours away). Parking is easy at the San Ramon location. We were able to do some of our lab work at the Orinda location which was nice since it was close to my brother’s house where we were staying. Overall I’m very pleased with the clinic.

Review of

Louis Weckstein Reproductive Science Center

Dr. Weckstien is one of the sweetest humans I have ever met. I found him on FertilityIQ which was a surprise to him, he wasn't aware he had so many reviews on this platform. From the moment I met him he was so kind and thorough with all of my testing and results. He was very sympathetic and optimistic with my diagnosis. He made calls to me to go over treatment and results. I also went though a very hard time in my personal life (not related to the egg retrieval) and he even reached out to express his condolences. He is an A+ doctor- above and beyond.

This [Reproductive Science Center] is a good sized practice and you aren't guaranteed to be with your doctor at the time of surgery...At the time of my retrieval I was 31 years old with a low ovarian reserve and poor egg quality...I had 7 eggs develop and all 7 were successfully retrieved-normal-and froze!...Everyone that I worked with at RSC was a gem...All of the surgeries are done in the San Ramon office as that is where their only surgery center is...I had insurance coverage for fertility treatments so all in all for one full cycle of egg retrieval cost me $1,800 (including medications)

How was your experience with Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

Dr. Weckstein is a very compassionate doctor. He is very empathetic in every interaction and even his tone of voice is soothing. He would call me when we had to discuss larger parts of treatment. This is a good sized practice and you aren't guaranteed to be with your doctor at the time of surgery. I got lucky and my retrieval was on a day Dr. Weckstein was there. However, I have full faith in this entire practice and would have felt confident with any doctor there.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

He is happy to answer questions- come as overly prepared as you want. He will take his time to make sure you are fully informed and know what to expect. He never made me feel like my question wasn't important, he always just wanted to make sure I felt my most confident

At the time of my retrieval I was 31 years old with a low ovarian reserve and poor egg quality. We did a very high dosage of injections to try and get every follicle I had to stimulate. I had 7 eggs develop and all 7 were successfully retrieved-normal-and froze!

Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Science Center. (Assigned nurse: Sara Romero)

Sara is no longer with RSC. She was very organized and was good at her job.

Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center.

For my initial appointments and my surgery I was in the San Ramon office. I lived in San Mateo however and they did have a satellite office there. I was able to do all of my monitoring appointments in the San Mateo office during stimulation which made it very easy on me. I chose to see Dr. Weckstein so that is why I had to do my initial appointments in San Ramon. All of the surgeries are done in the San Ramon office as that is where their only surgery center is. The whole experience was very easy for me. I was able to snag an appointment that someone had cancelled on so it took me only about 2-3 weeks to get in for my first appointment. Everyone that I worked with at RSC was a gem. I couldn't recommend this place anymore. They are the best!

I have diminished ovarian reserve and Dr Weckstein has educated me on what that means for our journey. He also remains positive and encouraging even when delivering “bad” news. I appreciate his candor. ... He’s very honest and open in all his communication. He explains every step thoroughly and allows my husband and I to make our own decisions with all the facts on the table. ... He proposed elective single transfers only.

The clinic [Reproductive Science Center] is efficient and quick. The front desk staff are super nice. The phlebotomists are hit or miss. I’m an easy stick too. The sonographers aren’t great with their bedside manner, except Casia (sp?). She’s the absolute best at imaging and patient care. ... Kayla [nurse] was very compassionate but didn’t seem knowledgeable. Her phone calls left a lot to be desired. Her emails were too long and it seemed like she may not be used to caring for someone that is brand new to IVF.

My cycle meds are Gonal F 300, Menopur 150 (first week) and added in Cetrotide and HGH on the second week. Triggering today for retrieval on Friday. Expecting 1-3 eggs total (6 follicles and I have diminished ovarian reserve).

How was your experience with Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

He’s very informative & thorough. I always felt hopeful but at the same time I was given reasonable expectations. He’s very easy to talk to & I never felt intimidated by him. Though I have to say that his father passed away & he had to leave town during my treatment & he made sure that he called me to tell me that another doctor will he managing me during this time. I wouldn’t expected anybody going through this to feel they have to call their patients during such a terrible time but he did. Even during such a difficult personal time, he was thinking about his patients. I’ll never forget that.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

Be prepared to hear numbers & statistics. He knows a lot of those but for good reason.

I can’t remember all the drugs I got or protocols. But w/my daughter she was a first time , 5day blast fresh transfer. I think I was on Lupron . To conceive my son, I went through 2 egg retrieval’s & the last one I remember he said they were throwing the kitchen sink at me because the first egg retrieval I didn’t have success, I was older as well & low ovarian reserve. I remember having to take testosterone which I thought was strange. But it worked. I had 2 blastocysts & one was my son.

Dr Weckstien is very caring. He listens well and answers all questions. He is also very candid with you about your treatment. I know where I stand and where I am going if the directions we take don't work, I don't have to guess.... I wish I could see more of him though, the phone apts are great though because I live pretty far away... I was first given the supplement ovasitol to help regulate me. I then was told to lose weight (ugh) I had an ultrasound to confirm PCOS. A month later I was given letrozole, I responded great so i injected ovadril but there was a timing issue.

Describe the protocols Louis Weckstein used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center and their degree of success.

I was first given the supplement ovasitol to help regulate me. I then was told to lose weight (ugh) I had an ultrasound to confirm PCOS. A month later I was given letrozole, I responded great so i injected ovadril but there was a timing issue. I took letrozole again & did not respond. The 3rd time I took letrozole I didn't respond but was given 8 more to take at once and did respond great injected ovadril but did not fall pregnant. I just finished a round of provera due to no cycle for 90 days. I am scheduled for an HSG in a few days.

Review of

Louis Weckstein Reproductive Science Center

I found Dr. Weckstein to be extremely patient, knowledgeable, and candid. I explained that I thought I had an issue with my progesterone, he then explained that we would do POI shots and would monitor how my progesterone was doing. Every other doctor either scoffed at the idea that progesterone was an issue or said they would give me supplements. Dr. Weckstein referred to different research that pointed to carrying a baby to full term. I've been searching for a doctor to be on the forefront of this.

I did a Donor cycle, so I was put on minimum drugs [at Reproductive Science Center]...The nurses are amazing. Always happy, seem to love their jobs, and seem to really want their patients to succeed...The clinic is great! They have multiple locations throughout the bay area and make it convenient to do your cycle wherever it is closest to you. The main clinic is open on the weekends, so you aren't worried about something happening on the weekend.

Dr. Weckstein referred to different research that pointed to carrying a baby to full term. I've been searching for a doctor to be on the forefront of this. I'm pregnant now, although very early, I've never been pregnant through infertility treatments and I've never had my progesterone tested. Well, it's a 56 and we are very happy about it. Also, I told him I react poorly to Lupron which he said no problem, we can do a cycle with the minimum and see how it works, and it worked great! positive test 3 days early. Every time I've mentioned something about my process he would find another solution, which every other clinic told me it was "their" protocol that I was paying for and that they wouldn't modify it.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

From the moment I shook Dr. Wecksteins hand, I knew he was the doctor for me. Kind, compassionate, friendly, calm, and candid. He has genuine in his answers to me. Listened to what I didn't like in my past protocols, assured me that he would do what made the most sense and made me comfortable.

Describe the protocols Louis Weckstein used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center and their degree of success.

I did a Donor cycle, so I was put on minimum drugs. Estradiol patches, 2 every 3 days, and progesterone suppositories, and progesterone oil shots once a night.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Science Center. (Assigned nurse: Sandra :) )

Describe Louis Weckstein's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Reproductive Science Center.

Dr. Weckstein highly advised us to only do a single embryo transfer. We went through 5 failed cycles, so I had no hesitation to do a multiple transfers, which he reluctantly agreed to. We ended up with only two blasts and we put two blasts in. I'm luckily pregnant, my betas aren't crazy so we think it's just a singleton.

Review of

Louis Weckstein Reproductive Science Center

Dr. Weckstein cares a lot about what he does and cares about his patients. He is knowledgable and helpful. He likes to use numbers and statistics which I love. Only downfall was because we are "young" we did not do testing in the beginning and had 2 failed transfers because of it. Wish we had pushed for more testing earlier.... Don't be afraid to ask questions and request testing even if he says it isn't "necessary."

They [SRC- San Ramon] did change their computer system last year and that was quite the hassle for patients and there new online system is confusing. Otherwise the equipment, people and lab is amazing. A lab onsite makes a huge difference.... 25,000 for Egg Retrieval and Embryo Transfer (not including medication) 5,000 for FET-not including medication... Laura is absolutely amazing! She truly cares about me and our outcomes.

Somedays like a number and some like a human. Just depended on the day and where we were at with cycles.

Describe the protocols Louis Weckstein used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center and their degree of success.

1st was Egg Retrieval and Fresh Embryo Transfer-I don't remember much about this one. SubQ shots and vaginal suppositories. This ended up in Ectopic Pregnancy-not anyones fault. 2nd was FET-vaginal estrogen and then ended up on IM estrogen because my lining was not thickening. Then when uterine lining was 8mm started in vaginal progesterone and IM progesterone (had low progesterone before). This turned out to be a BFN. 3rd FET-Same as before but started IM estrogen way earlier and lining was perfect at first ultrasound.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Science Center. (Assigned nurse: Laura)

Laura is absolutely amazing! She truly cares about me and our outcomes. I dealt with other staff there (I don't remember names) and they were not as good as her.

Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center.

The clinic is very far away (2.5 hour drive) away from me but that isn't their fault.

They have suggested for us only single embryo transfer because we are young and have good embryos (as far as we know).

What specific things went wrong at Reproductive Science Center?

Provided conflicting information

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Reproductive Science Center.

One time my nurse coordinator sent me instructions that included a medication that I was no longer doing. I think it was an honest mistake

Louis Weckstein Reproductive Science Center

Dr weckstein goes above and beyond to make sure the patient has a clear understanding of procedures and outcomes. He has an amazing way of keeping us informed with any risks but also keeps us positive. Not all doctors can do that. He's a wonderful communicator and has always made follow-up calls personally...As soon as he found out my HCG levels were dropping he called me personally. He's always called with Important news, good or bad. He knew I was upset and made a follow up call. When I've gone Into this very busy clinic for blood tests, he knows exactly who I am and remembers out sons names. He is the most personable doctor I've ever had.

Strengths [at Reproductive Science Center] : hands down the most professional clinic with the most skilled professional staff. It seems as though they specifially hand pick their employees. Not just your run of the mill hiring process, but they deliberately choose staff who are all equally compassionate, professional wonderful people. The weakness: they make it hard to leave. They give you a "graduation package" when you're ready to move onto your your regular OB. I love my OB but oh how I wish they could see me through the actual delivery process.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

Trust. Trust that he will help you make the best decision for your specific situation. He will treat you according to what your body is doing.

Birth control, estradiol, menopur, progesterone suppositories, baby aspirin and follistim IVF fresh cycle, 5 day embryo. Transfered two and delivered a healthy baby boy

Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Science Center. (Assigned nurse: Kat and now currently Sara)

Again, above and beyond. The classes with catherine were informative, the delivery of the meds from the pharmacy she recommended were amazing. They delivered our meds to our hotel while in dianeyland. They waited in a refrigerator until we arrived. Sara (with this current IVF cycle) has also been amazing. She was a listening ear when I miscarried. She was compassionate, sympathetic and encouraging when I needed it the most. She knows our family when we go in for labs and goes out of her way to see us before we leave. Catherine was the same way also. All around beautiful people in the right profession.

He told us the benefits of eset and the complications that could arise with transferring multiple embryos If they took. We'd tried for so many years we were willing to take the chance of multiples.

Review of

Louis Weckstein Reproductive Science Center

Dr Weckstein felt like my dad. He seemed concerned over my concerns and wanted to make me feel completely comfortable. I was debating about PGS testing and he said, if you were my wife going through this I would say it's unnecessary. I appreciated his honesty and that he put himself in my shoes.... Always willing to chat, responded quickly to e-mails, went over shots with husband even though we didn't have a scheduled appointment. The last week of progesterone inserts I was not comfortable using the ones that the pharmacy had sent (they were red) so they supplied me (at no charge) a weeks worth of inserts that were white to ease my mind.

Clinic [Reproductive Science Center] is ran very smoothly. There are several nurses and doctors so if your Dr/Nurse is not available someone else will be. They are willing to work with your schedule, if you "need" to be seen on a day that your doctor is off, they will find someone to see you.... We started on estrace, vitamin D, then progesterone shots, and progesterone inserts. Continued meds until week 9 of pregnancy, then tapered off. I am currently 17 weeks pregnant with a singleton.

How was your experience with Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

Dr Weckstein was kind and supportive in the whole process. He was optimistic, which at times was hard (due to a cycle previously not taking and miscarriages) but was appreciated. He walked me through each possible step and possibly outcomes. I felt that he truly cared about me as a person, not just a patient.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

To not be in a rush. He walks through everything in a slow calm manner, I am not a slow manner type person and it took me a minute to calm down. I was always wanting to rush through each appointment, he was patient and thorough.

Dr Weckstein is an extremely kind man. He is knowledgeable and builds a relationship through excellent communication and sharing of information. He was not pushy at all, and I never felt talked down to or treated in a condescending manner, like I have with other medical specialists. He is a humble man, easy to talk to, quick to respond to questions and concerns...cares deeply about his patients.

Very positive experience [with Reproductive Science Center]. Patients need to be very well versed on what, if anything their insurance covers. Office did a great job working with me and my insurance , but I had to be proactive. Insurance companies are all different, with Varied coverage. I didn’t expect office to know everything about my coverage, but they fought for what I was covered for!

Louis Weckstein Reproductive Science Center

He [Dr. Louis Weckstein] was very nice and gave us honest opinions.... This clinic [RSC-San Ramon] uses a team, so while you might not always see your assigned doctor, they are all excellent. We saw 3 doctors and many nurses throughout our 1 cycle of IVF, which resulted in a twin pregnancy & twin birth- so we're very happy at the success resulting from this clinic.

The front office staff [at RSC-San Ramon] was often disorganized and not very polite, but I think that's often the case in medical clinics as this is not the first time I have experienced this. Wait times were often long....We used ICSI, which was an additional cost, but worth it to give us the best chances. One round is so expensive, we wanted the best chance of success. We didn't end up with any embryos to freeze..... The nurses were nice, but often there was a lot of waiting. I remember the front office staff being very disorganized.

Louis Weckstein Reproductive Science Center

Dr Weckstein is the most caring doctor I have ever had. He took the time to explain everything, make me feel comfortable. I had one failed transfer and he was just as down about it as I was. He suggested an era which came back normal but I was pregnant on my next transfer. His team is always available and they all celebrated my pregnancy as much as I did. ... Dr Weckstein makes you feel like you are his only patient. When he calls it is like a friend calling.

The billing department is a weakness. The rest of the staff [ Reproductive Science Center of Bay Area] is really great and I felt comfortable throughout the whole process. The office is very quick and appointments run on time. The portal to share information is great I found it very easy to communicate with everyone. ... Review the billing if using insurance. They cleared up everything right away but that was the only issue I had.

He was honey and I trusted him completely ... We skipped IUI’s. ... but offered to try an iui cycle if I chose. ... He had reccomended only one but still felt comfortable with a transfer of 2

Review of

Louis Weckstein Reproductive Science Center

Our experience with Dr. Weckstein was great. We found him to be extremely knowledgeable, thorough in his review of our case, and also compassionate. ... At Dr. Weckstein's recommendation, we transferred a single embryo ... Dr. Weckstein was genuine and took the time to explain what my test results meant and what our options were. He was very informed and he gave my husband and I his recommendations as well as all the information we needed to make an informed decision about our treatment.

I found Dr. Weckstein and the RSC staff overall to be great. ... Again, this was an issue with my particular case manager from my first cycle. She worked an unusual schedule with odd hours and failed to call me with instructions on more than one occasion. I had communicated my frustrations and was assigned a different case manager. ... I was told my original case manager no longer works at RSC.

How was your experience with Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

Our experience with Dr. Weckstein was great. We found him to be extremely knowledgeable, thorough in his review of our case, and also compassionate. We started our IVF journey with Dr. Weckstein after several unsuccessful Clomid/Menopur and IUI cycles at Kaiser, and we have no regrets. Prior to IVF, we lost our first baby (conceived naturally) due to a rare fetal condition and were unable to conceive naturally again. In reviewing my medical history, he went out of his way to write a letter to our insurance company to justify coverage of the PGS screening for our embryos so we could avoid experiencing another loss. Because of this, we learned one of our Day-5 blasts was abnormal and would have ended in a miscarriage had we transferred it. At Dr. Weckstein's recommendation, we transferred a single embryo and we now have a healthy, beautiful 20 month old daughter. We are getting ready to transfer one of our 2 remaining frozen embryos with Dr. Weckstein this month and are hopeful it will be a successful pregnancy.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

I would say that you should trust him because he is experienced and knows what he's doing.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center?

Dr. Weckstein was genuine and took the time to explain what my test results meant and what our options were. He was very informed and he gave my husband and I his recommendations as well as all the information we needed to make an informed decision about our treatment.

Describe the protocols Louis Weckstein used in your cycles at Reproductive Science Center and their degree of success.

For my initial IVF cycle egg retrieval, I started on birth control pills on CD3 and stayed on them until CD14. On CD15 I had a baseline sonogram. I started stimulation 4 days later and was instructed to start daily baby Aspirin 81mg, FSH (Gonal f) 300 IU, and Menopur 150 IU for 10 days, adding Antagon (Ganirelix) (250mg) to the stimulation meds for the last 6 of those 10 days to prevent early ovulation. The next day I was instructed to discontinue FSH, Menopur, and Antagon, but continued baby aspirin. That evening I was instructed to give myself a trigger shot (Lupron 2mg) subcutaneiously. The following day I started my Azithromycin pack and had my retrieval 2 days later. I ended up with 11 mature eggs - more than anticipated. Fertilization report: 12 Mature eggs => 11 fertilized with ICSI • 6/19 Embryo progress update: 7 to 9 'Day 3' embryos • 6/22 Embryo progress update: 4 'Day 5' embryos - sent in for PGS - results due next Wednesday 6/29 PGS Results: 3 good embryos - 2 girls/1 boy 1 embryo with Trisomy 9

Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Science Center. (Assigned nurse: Sara Romero)

My first case manager wasn't the best communicator, but she no longer works at the clinic and the case manager who took over my case, Sara R., is great. The nursing staff in general was and continues to be very friendly and helpful.

Describe your experience with Reproductive Science Center.

I found Dr. Weckstein and the RSC staff overall to be great. The only weakness with my first IVF cycle was that it was difficult to get through to my original case manager/the staff via phone, but I'm currently going through the process again for baby #2 and have found that this issue seems to have been resolved.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Louis Weckstein at Reproductive Science Center.

I had partial insurance coverage for the egg retrieval and first FET, so my out of pocket cost was about $12k for those 2 cycles. This included all the "extras" such as my share for the medication co-pays and opting for ICSI. I'm currently doing my 3rd FET (2nd FET ended in miscarriage) and the cost for the FET with no insurance coverage was approximately $5000 (medications included).

Describe Louis Weckstein's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Reproductive Science Center.

Dr. Weckstein encouraged eSET for us because he said I had good quality embryos and I was 36 at the time. He didn't want to create any unnecessary risks by transferring more embryos. Our highest priority was to have a healthy baby and give him/her the best chance possible for a full term delivery.

What specific things went wrong at Reproductive Science Center?
