Dr Fritz took the time to really get to know me and my husband and I felt like he truly cared about our results. He was invested, he was sad with me during hard times and happy with me during successes. After going to him for so many years through IVF and an ectopic pregnancy and two successful pregnancies afterwards resulting in my 2.5 year old and 6 month old I could not be happier with the care I received from him.

How was your experience with Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility?
He is so caring and such an intelligent, amazing dr. I could not be happier with the care that I received from him and the outcome of our IVF cycles at UNC. After my first IVF cycle resulted in an ectopic pregnancy I felt so strongly that I always only wanted to have him do my transfers and my next two transfers were successes! He always made me feel so comfortable.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility?
To trust him fully.

Describe your experience with your nurse at UNC Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Mindy )
Mindy was AMAZING! She would email me at all hours of the day/night with questions and help. I was even emailing her on Christmas eve sure that I was having a miscarriage after my 2nd IVF transfer and she was so responsive and caring helping to put my mind at ease and getting me in early the day after Christmas to confirm that the baby was just fine :)
Describe your experience with UNC Fertility.
UNC is very clean, nice and everyone is very friendly. Everyone from the front desk staff, to the nurses taking blood and vitals are all so friendly and caring, they all make you feel welcome and take the time to really get to know you and remember who you are.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility.
For our first son we ended up spending about $25K which included trying drugs like letrozole & injectables, all of the testing (baselines, mock transfers, saline ultrasounds, hsg tests) egg retrieval, one IVF transfer that ended in an ectopic pregnancy and a second transfer (FET) that resulted in our first son.
Our 2nd son just required an additional saline and mock transfer and one FET which was around $6K total.

Friendly, comforting and very informative. I was scared to undergo one of my procedures and he [Dr. Fritz] calmly walked me through it step by step, which really helped me not freak out. He gives every bit of information relating to your options and answers any questions thoroughly. He also took it upon himself to contact my regular OBGYN and let her know what was going on.... Initial consultation, HSG to check for any blockages, left tube blocked but developed a plan for IUI going forward with an understanding that we will consider IVF in the event that IUI fails.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility?
Dr. F is very friendly and personable right from the start, he was very welcoming and easy to talk to and gave us a ton of information on our first visit. He discussed our test results and explained what they meant and what we should do going forward. His information was very thorough and he was quick with scheduling and even informed us that he had a preplanned trip so would be out of office for a few days after one of our procedures.

Everyone seems really nice and friendly, very good at communicating basic procedures (taking blood, whatever else) and they have a great portal that I can access at anytime with questions or to look at my records/ schedule. Also, very helpful with financial counseling.
Describe your experience with UNC Fertility.
Very organized and easy to access information either by phone or through the portal; feels very patient oriented. They are constantly reaching out about scheduling questions or finance questions. Nice office space, although it's a bit of a drive from where we are.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility.
My insurance does not cover UNC but they have reached out about financial counseling multiple times. We have paid for everything up front and it has been fine so far.

He would always come up with a plan so I could focus on the next steps. He showed compassion when I was hurting and disappointment when I felt discouraged...I took pentoxifylline and vitamin e for I think 3-4 months. Lining got better so we added vaginal viagra I believe. And moved forward with 3rd embryo transfer with success. Each embryo transfer we did IM progesterone (50 mg) for 10 days prior.

How was your experience with Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility?
Dr. Fritz has a wonderful, warm bedside manner. He is honest and upfront about each step of the process. He was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond when things didn’t go as expected. He would always come up with a plan so I could focus on the next steps. He showed compassion when I was hurting and disappointment when I felt discouraged. He encouraged me to keep going when all I wanted was to give up. He never gave up on us and starting our family.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility?
You are not alone and he will help find the best route to starting your family.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility?
Dr. Fritz and staff always knew me by name and knew the specifics of my case. When I was discouraged/frustrated they were as well. They encouraged me and held my hand during the challenges and heartaches and celebrated with me when we finally became pregnant. Dr. Fritz worked endlessly to come up with some alternative treatments when I proved to be more challenging to respond to what the normal protocol was.
Describe the protocols Marc Fritz used in your cycles at UNC Fertility and their degree of success.
We used follistim and menopur 75 mg for the egg retrieval process. I did injections for 14 days but cannot remember the length of both meds. Then pregynl 10,000 units the night before egg retrieval. Then we did IM progesterone for 10 days prior to embryo transfer. Did not take. Then did a frozen transfer where with did just PO/vaginal estradiol with suboptimal lining, and again did not take. Went to start with another frozen embryo transfer and lining would not respond to PO, vaginal or patches of estrogen. Had a terrible reaction/rash to estrogen patches. Then we scratched that and started again but added vaginal viagra with again no improvement. After that I took pentoxifylline and vitamin e for I think 3-4 months. Lining got better so we added vaginal viagra I believe. And moved forward with 3rd embryo transfer with success. Each embryo transfer we did IM progesterone (50 mg) for 10 days prior.
Describe your experience with your nurse at UNC Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Mindy Soucy)
Mindy was AWESOME. Compassionate, organized, available, patient and knowledgeable. She always gave me specific instructions and was there if I had any questions. If I felt discouraged or needed encouragement she was there. And she was there to celebrate and be excited with me when we got pregnant.
Describe your experience with UNC Fertility.
Very well organized, friendly staff, clean, accommodating.
We did not like that the check in and check out is so open. It did not allow privacy when talking about upcoming appts or billing. As well as if you came out discouraged or left excited it was like the whole waiting room was a part of it.

He is good at explaining concepts and procedures. He is not always the best listener, which can be critical in adapting unsuccessful strategies early (since management is pretty decentralized), or in making patients feel confident about course of action.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility?
Be proactive about your own case management.
Describe the protocols Marc Fritz used in your cycles at UNC Fertility and their degree of success.
In my 3rd - 5th IVF cycles Dr. Fritz put me on his "eye of newt" protocol (estrace flare + HGH), which involved 375 Gonal + 75 Menapur + Lupron + estrace and 20 units of Human growth hormone (HGH). I had very unresponsive ovaries. My memory is that critical factors in these cycles tended to be management at the beginning of the cycle; whether we could successfully suppress follicle growth to get them to grow together, which apparently is a problem with severe DOR. Original intent in treatment was to save freezable embryos before trying to conceive; by the 5th cycle with 0 freezable embryos my goal was simply to have a baby. For each cycle we transferred available embryos at day 3 because there were so few. In the 5th cycle one of the three embryos resulted in a life birth. (whew!)
Describe your experience with your nurse at UNC Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Aly Bell)
Amazing. The nursing team makes all the difference in cycle management.
Describe your experience with UNC Fertility.
Strengths: clean, INCREDIBLE nursing staff, great email communication, good and responsive support with insurance Weaknesses: not always flexible to accommodate difficult patient protocols, appointments not always on time
Describe Marc Fritz's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at UNC Fertility.
I had very few embryos and unproductive ovaries, so by the last cycle (#5) we just threw all 3 in. Dr. Fritz discussed risks with me, and his approach seemed to be consistent with my preferences and the specifics of my case.

How was your experience with Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility?
Dr. Fritz is one of the best fertility doctors in the nation. He literally wrote the infertility textbook that is used in medical schools. I wouldn't go anywhere else. He has worked with us every step of the way to ensure that our questions were answered and that we understood every procedure and treatment we have done. He is warm and personable.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility?
Be as open and honest as you possibly can. If you hold things back or don't tell him everything he can't provide you with the best quality service.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility?

Describe the protocols Marc Fritz used in your cycles at UNC Fertility and their degree of success.
We have done three cycles of IUI with a dosage of 100mg of Clomid with each one and then a follicle scan to determine when I would ovulate and the best time to do the IUI. We have not gotten pregnant with any of these cycles.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
I think the nursing staff at his office is wonderful. They will respond to emails in a timely manner and are very good with communication.
Describe your experience with UNC Fertility.
They just implemented a new online service where you can view your testing data, send emails to the doctors and nurses, and set appointments. I like this because it makes communication easier. Before the online system I was less than impressed with how they reported testing results but since it is much better. They are kind and compassionate and will work with you on scheduling. As is necessary in the fertility business they are open 7 days a week so you can schedule treatment for Saturday or Sunday if you need to. It is a small clinic and they do have lots of students (fellows) that come there to observe and learn.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility.
My insurance paid for all 3 of our IUI cycles AFTER I hit my deductible amount of $2,000. I think I paid a little over 300.00 for the first cycle and then my deductible kicked in. The rest I'm not sure about.

He drafted more than one treatment plan as we sat there and discussed the pros and cons (regarding cost and success rate) of each plan. We left the initial consultation feeling relieved and comfortable with pursuing one of the plans that was discussed, knowing that the additional plan was available if we needed to refer to it.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility?
He will definitely draft your treatment plan but may not be the actual doctor to complete the procedure; however, all of the doctors in the office are capable of carrying out the plan according to how Dr. Fritz writes it.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility?
I felt as though I was treated like a human. Dr. Fritz came out to the waiting room to greet my husband and me. He personally walked us to his office and provided us ample time to describe our infertility journey. He reviewed all of the medical documentation I provided as we sat there. He clearly explained our options without heavily suggesting what should be done. He allowed us to ask questions and further discuss our options.
Describe the protocols Marc Fritz used in your cycles at UNC Fertility and their degree of success.
We were identified as having unexplained infertility. Dr. Fritz suggested that we consider IUI or IVF. He told us that IVF may have a higher success rate than IUI but IUI was also a reasonable choice. He prescribed 150 mg of clomid, ultrasound monitoring to check my follicles, and an IUI after a positive ovulation test. I got pregnant from my first medicated IUI.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nurses were extremely kind. When I needed blood work completed or called with questions, they always did so with compassion and care.
Describe your experience with UNC Fertility.
The office is beautiful. It is located in a multi-story building which requires you to take an elevator to reach the office. The waiting room has plenty of places to sit. They serve coffee and tea. There is also a television in the waiting room for those interested in watching while waiting for the appointment. All of the doctor's offices have opaque windows which create an open feeling as you walk down the hall.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility.
The entire process (IUI, meds, office visits) cost between $800-$1000. However, the office assisted in billing some visits with our insurance at that time.

The clinic has a very warm. welcoming staff overall. I really felt as though they understood what to say (and more importantly, what not to say) to someone experiencing infertility. Dr Fritz has a top-notch bedside manner, and probably made me laugh at every single appointment. I felt like the entire clinic wanted us to have a successful pregnancy.
Describe the protocols Marc Fritz used in your cycles at UNC Fertility and their degree of success.
I had unexplained infertility so I think I had a very basic protocol with Lupron, menopur, and Gonal-F. This did not change much through the course of four cycles. My retrievals produced good results for my age (38-39). We did PGS testing on all our day 5 embryos, then froze them all. We never did a fresh transfer because we were embryo banking.
Describe your experience with your nurse at UNC Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Wendy Snyder)
Wendy is the best of the best.
Describe your experience with UNC Fertility.
The number of patients seemed smaller than at my first clinic. Everyone knew my name and remembered me at my visits. I was always seen within 10 minutes of arriving. The doctor staff rotated the monitoring visits, and I never had a bad experience.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility.
We were accepted into the Attain program, which was $18,900 for two cycles. We ended up doing two cycles with embryo banking and then two FET's, which did not result in a successful pregnancy. Then we did it all over again, two more cycles at $18,900 with embryo banking and one FET. The medications were extra. Overall we spent approx $50,000 on IVF. None of it was covered under United Healthcare.
Describe Marc Fritz's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at UNC Fertility.
Dr Fritz encouraged us to do eSET for our FET's. We did eSET for the first two FET's, which resulted in a negative beta and a chemical pregnancy. For our third FET my husband and I decided to transfer two embryos. Dr Fritz was not in favor of this decision, but considering our history and age, was willing to do as we wished.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility?
Dr. Fritz was very sweet about asking us about our life and sharing information on his own. He has also since followed up after we moved to help connect us with other doctors if need be, and was always very responsive to our needs and concerns.
Describe the protocols Marc Fritz used in your cycles at UNC Fertility and their degree of success.
I presented some symptoms of having PCOS, including increased hormonal acne once I stopped taking birth control, but did not have many of the most symptoms (I'm tall and very thin). He identified this immediately, and tracked my ovulation to find that I was not, in fact, ovulating. We tried letrozole, two different doses, to induce ovulation, but they did nothing. We then went to climbed, which resulted in two back to back cycles of ovulation. On the second, I went in and they saw two very mature eggs on my ultrasound, and so gave me a shot that caused the eggs to release. 2 weeks later, I had a positive pregnancy test, and 7 weeks ago I gave birth to a perfect baby boy. The whole time, the office and Dr. Fitz were incredibly supportive, and watched over my early pregnancy with great care until they discharged me to my normal OB/GYN.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
I LOVED the nursing staff. So sweet, so caring, and so professional. They made me excited to go back and see them, and were always so reassuring and positive. Definitely a highlight of the clinic.

Met with him 3 times. He was very cold, lacked the ability to listen.

Be mentally prepared to feel treated as just another patient in a factory of infertility. Science and numbers are his strength, not compassion.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility?
He repeatedly asked the same questions, to which I had the same answers. Tests were done, but results were not always shared. Complete lack of response when attempting to schedule surgery.
Describe the protocols Marc Fritz used in your cycles at UNC Fertility and their degree of success.
My routine physical revealed the presence of uterine fibroids, which after a few other steps, led me to this clinic. He ordered the blood work, which ultimately sealed my fate... Nearly nondetectable AMH. He ordered the X-ray test to determine the patency of my tubes, which were determined to be fully open. At which point, he recommended surgery to remove the fibroids as a first step toward the possibility of conceiving. Our discussion left off with me needing to check into work and insurance, at which point I would call to schedule. I did all this as planned, but could not get through to get it on the books. I gave up after several phone calls, one I was able to get with another clinic.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Very little interaction with the nurses. The front desk/reception was unorganized and unprofessional at times, of which the nurses had a hand in. Otherwise, they really just checked my blood pressure and weight, confirmed the info on my chart was correct.
Describe your experience with UNC Fertility.
Beautiful office with coffee and water available. Front desk/reception was somewhat disorganized. Nurses were good, no nonsense, quick and to the point.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility.

That spoke volumes to me!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility?
Be total open and honest so that he can help as best as possible. Don't be shy or embarassed to share anything.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility?
He is always very kind and asks about my over all well being, not just parent planning. He feels like more than a doctor but also a friend.
Describe the protocols Marc Fritz used in your cycles at UNC Fertility and their degree of success.
So far he has checked hormone levels, my egg reserve, and even performed an HSG. Everything looks good on my end but we do know my partner has a sperm count issue. We are waiting for him to be seen to see if IVF will be our only option. So far we think it is.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
They are always very welcoming and assuring. Fertility treatment can be quite stressful and embarrassing but they never make you feel this way. I am very open to discussing any issues with all of the friendly nurse staff at UNC.
Describe your experience with UNC Fertility.
I honestly cannot name a weakness. This team is excellent! They are prompt, attentative, reassuring and most of all very positive. Going through the struggle of fertility treatment, it is very important to have as much positivity as possible.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility.
So far I've only paid for the visit fee.

Strengths: It is very clean and a nice environment. The staff is very friendly. All of the nurses are good at drawing blood. Weaknesses: sometimes hard to get an appointment due to high demand of doctors.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Marc Fritz at UNC Fertility.
I don't remember exactly. I want to say around $15,000 for IVF and about $5,000 for meds. I used the Attain program though, so I paid for more cycles than needed, since I got pregnant on the first try. All expenses must be pain up front before IVF can be scheduled. Frozen transfer was around $5,000.
Describe Marc Fritz's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at UNC Fertility.
Dr. Fritz prefers to transfer 1 embryo, but leaves the ultimate decision to the couple. He would not transfer any more than 2 due to my age.

Describe your experience with UNC Fertility.
The clinic's support staff is phenomenal. They learn your name quickly and genuinely care to provide a good experience when infertility is very stressful. The clinic is very busy, so if they are running behind you will have longer than average wait times.

They were fine. My last nurse was a little aggressive with my IUI, but I can't complain because that was the one that actually took.
Describe your experience with UNC Fertility.
It's a little hard to find when you first go there because the inseminations happened in UNC Medical, which is somewhat of a maze. Otherwise, I've got no complaints.

They were cheap because infertility was actually covered under my healthcare plan at the time. At most it was about $150 per visit.
