[Dr. Lowell Ku] never approached our case the same way twice. After a setback he would do further research and provide a new plan of attack...After my wife’s first transfer and miscarriage with him, knowing our history of loss, he recommended a great surrogacy agency...discovered that our previous embryologist had frozen our embryos too soon...he thawed over night so they could develop further. All three embryos jumped from low Bs to High A ratings. Our second transfer with our GC resulted in the birth of our daughter.
The Frisco location [Dallas IVF] feels more updated and is the one we frequent because Dr. Ku operates out of there...There is a strong, streamlined staff that works well together and provides assistance on all levels. They can recommend acupuncturists, surrogacy agencies, payment assistance, grief counseling, etc...nursing staff was always quick to respond to phone calls and emails. They volunteered at events and were always friendly and genuine in public. They were delicate around patients; never patronizing or indifferent.
How was your experience with Lowell Ku at Dallas IVF?
The third time truly was the charm. We lucked out since not only was Ku recommended to us, but he also took our insurance. Every consult gave us a clear path to pursue. After my wife’s first transfer and miscarriage with him, knowing our history of loss, he recommended a great surrogacy agency that they worked with. When our own surrogate did not take our first embryo, he discovered that our previous embryologist had frozen our embryos too soon. Instead the hour thaw before transfer, he thawed over night so they could develop further. All three embryos jumped from low Bs to High A ratings. Our second transfer with our GC resulted in the birth of our daughter. He is also a partner with the Dallas Walk of Hope, and because we joined his team he matched all funds we raised up to $500 for the Resolve Fundraiser. With his help we raised over $1200 last year.
I can’t recommend Dr. Ku enough to anyone I know who lives in DFW or can make the drive to see him.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Lowell Ku at Dallas IVF?
Dr. Ku is for real. It’s okay to hope again.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Lowell Ku at Dallas IVF?
Dr. Ku, in many ways, was like a grief counselor for us. He empathized with our pain and loss but gave us hope when we were running out of it. He never approached our case the same way twice. After a setback he would do further research and provide a new plan of attack. He took his time with us. He even called my wife directly and gave his cell phone number to dissuade her from seeking homeopathic treatment that would have been harmful to her.
Describe the protocols Lowell Ku used in your cycles at Dallas IVF and their degree of success.
As said before, after our GC lost our first transfer, he was able to discover the problems with our embryos were due to the poor techniques of our previous embryologist. His plan to thaw our embryos overnight instead of the hour before transfer is what resulted in the birth of our daughter.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Dallas IVF.
The nursing staff was always quick to respond to phone calls and emails. They volunteered at events and were always friendly and genuine in public. They were delicate around patients; never patronizing or indifferent.
Describe your experience with Dallas IVF.
The Frisco location feels more updated and is the one we frequent because Dr. Ku operates out of there. I cannot think of any glaring issue. There is a strong, streamlined staff that works well together and provides assistance on all levels. They can recommend acupuncturists, surrogacy agencies, payment assistance, grief counseling, etc.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Lowell Ku at Dallas IVF.
Costs were typical for what we spent but applied toward our deductible with BCBSTX. Most consults costed us just under $200. Certain procedures went anywhere in the $2500 to $5000 range
Describe Lowell Ku's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Dallas IVF.
Ku prefers eSET, as it is less risky to the mother/GC’s health and the ability for them to have a healthier and safer pregnancy.
