Marli Amin

Dr. Amin's bedside manners are impeccable. She listened to my previous 6 year history of TCC and everything we had tried. The time she took to understand my history, previous unexplained infertility and results were a big difference to our current successful transfer...She used a mild stim medication approach. Compared to my other egg retrievals, my follicles were less stimulated, but they were better quality. We also did a mock cycle, a month before the actual transfer, which made a huge difference...

The nurses [at Reproductive Partners Medical Group] are very organized, they are all one team and help all the patients. They are available via email, the portal messaging system, or via phone if you leave a message for them to call you back...The clinic is very organized. They have three branches. Most of my appointments were in Westminster, except for my egg retrieval, that was at the Redondo Beach office. They have a portal which allows me, as the patient, to see previous lab results, communicate with the nurses, and confirm upcoming appointments...

How was your experience with Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

Dr. Amin is a miracle whisperer. She takes the time to listen and answer all my questions. We started working with Reproductive Partners and Dr. Amin in May of 2021, it is now April 2022 and we finally got our positive transfer, after 7 years of TCC. She took the time to test us for everything since we had been diagnosed as unexplained infertility.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

You can ask her as many questions, she will take the answer to them and help you feel reassured.

She used a mild stim medication approach. Compared to my other egg retrievals, my follicles were less stimulated, but they were better quality. We also did a mock cycle, a month before the actual transfer, which made a huge difference. She tested for estrogen and it turned out I needed more, and we were able to up the dosage in for the actual transfer. She also tested my progesterone, and did a biopsy to confirm medicine dosage was correct.

Marli Amin Reproductive Partners Medical Group

Dr Amin seems very knowledgeable but there seems to be no rush on her side to assist me in getting pregnant. We do a treatment one month then we have to wait another cycle before doing the next treatment...Have all your questions written down ahead of time. It's hard to do this sometimes but it's hard to get ahold of her for followup questions. She will always call you if needed but there are so many layers to her thru before her.

The front desk team [at Reproductive Partners Medical Group] has had quite a bit of turnover in employees, so the human connection gets a bit lost. Sandra has been there the whole time and is great! Super helpful and seemingly interested in the patient...My doctor [Dr. Marli Amin] will transfer one genetic tested embryo at a time or two non tested embryos. She explained the reasons for each sufficiently to me.

Have all your questions written down ahead of time. It's hard to do this sometimes but it's hard to get ahold of her for followup questions. She will always call you if needed but there are so many layers to her thru before her. Call representatives answer the phones, then nurse calls you back, and accesses your situation. If you miss the call, you go thru the whole cycle again.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

Sometimes it's very rush rush and get you out the door and other times it's very personalized.

Describe the protocols Marli Amin used in your cycles at Reproductive Partners Medical Group and their degree of success.

Three IUI cycles using clomid. They could find nothing wrong with me and being 38 at the time a few months of this lower cost treatment made sense. After these IUIs failed, I had two egg retrievals (6 months apart) using antagonists and gonadotropins with an HCG trigger.

Stacy has left but most of the nurses are great. Patty and Erica are the best! Nettie is also good but newer.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group.

$60 office visit $120 ultrasound So 99% of my visits were $180 at a minimum. $90 blood tests in house, results within hours $125 COVID test at start of egg retrieval cycle and another before scheduling the procedure $230 uterine biopsy and $20 Specimen handling $250 consult

Marli Amin Reproductive Partners Medical Group

Dr. Amin took the time to connect on the day of my first ultrasound...She made me feel seen and listened to my questions and answered them all. Didn't make me feel stupid...I appreciated the quick visits. I do feel like I should have asked more questions on numbers and such...[Dr. Amin] made time to see me after retrieval to check me out...

When I first decided to make my appointment. [at Reproductive Partners Medical Group] The number I called went straight to voicemail and then I would go to the website and emailed them and got an email from the admin to call...I would call and either leave a message if they weren't in. they would call me back promtly. If I sent an email, they would message or call me right away. SO that makes up for the initial communication.

How was your experience with Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

Appointments did not run long and were usually on time. I LOVED THIS as a working woman. I appreciated the quick visits. I do feel like I should have asked more questions on numbers and such. They would read the size of the follicles, but I was never told a number to expect. She is so sweet! I felt safe and heard when I was under her care. Pre & Post retrieval. She made time to see me after retrieval to check me out. I would definitely recomment Dr. Amin and the team at RPMG.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

Make sure to ask questions. Also, the Doctors rotate on who handles ultrasounds. So be aware that you might not see her every ultrasound, but the other doctor I saw was just as caring and there for you.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

Dr. Amin took the time to connect on the day of my first ultrasound. At this clinic, they have schedules and she came on her off day. She was sweet and understanding. She made me feel seen and listened to my questions and answered them all. Didn't make me feel stupid. She took her time and I didn't feel rushed. After retrieval, she called me with the Final PGT results herself!!!

Describe the protocols Marli Amin used in your cycles at Reproductive Partners Medical Group and their degree of success.

I used Menopur in the AMs & Gonal F in the evenings. near the end, they added Centrotide. I did use a trigger shot of Pregnyl.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Reproductive Partners Medical Group.

All the ladies are sweet. Sometimes they would put me in the waiting area in the back and awkwardly close the door after I had been in there a while. but for the most part, they were awesome. When I emailed, I would get a response. sometimes there were some cases of phone tag, but it all worked out. Patty was so sweet on my last visit before retrival. I will forever remember her for being there for me in my moments of being scared. Got to shout out Monica who took my blood!! She's the nicest as well!

Describe your experience with Reproductive Partners Medical Group.

When I first decided to make my appointment. The number I called went straight to voicemail and then I would go to the website and emailed them and got an email from the admin to call.

I would call and either leave a message if they weren't in. they would call me back promtly. If I sent an email, they would message or call me right away. SO that makes up for the initial communication.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group.

I was lucky to have some help from my employer. Costs were about the average of other clinics in the area.

Marli Amin Reproductive Partners Medical Group

Dr Amin is extremely kind and compassionate. She always takes the time to listen to the patient’s concerns and gives opportunities to ask questions during phone conversations or ultrasounds...said it was in our best interest that we perform a DNA fragmentation test on the sperm...3 months later, my husband is completely fertile and we are now concentrating on my infertility and inducing ovulation with medication. Dr Amin gave us an actually chance of conceiving and I will be forever grateful to her.

I love the [Reproductive Partners Medical Group] nursing staff in the Westminster office. They are kind, patient and compassionate. I always feel taken care of. They remember details about my case and advocate for me...Ultrasounds are $180 each. IUIs are $560 each. SHG is $680-ish HSG was roughly $1000 out of pocket...The waiting room has a relaxing, spa-like feel, which is helpful to us infertility patients who find these visits so anxiety producing. I love that they dim the lights for each ultrasound so that you don’t feel as exposed, given that you’ll have 2-5 ultrasounds a month

How was your experience with Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

I credit Dr Amin for finding out our infertility issue immediately. We knew from the testing my OBGYN did that I was not ovulating properly, and that my husband was experiencing low sperm count, motility and morphology. Dr Amin said it was in our best interest that we perform a DNA fragmentation test on the sperm. Thank God we did. It showed that the sperm was severely damaged and the past 8 months of trying to conceive, there was less than a 1% chance of naturally conceiving. My husband followed up with a Reproductive Urologist, who found a varicocele and large lipoma in his scrotum. They were removed via lap surgery. 3 months later, my husband is completely fertile and we are now concentrating on my infertility and inducing ovulation with medication. Dr Amin gave us an actually chance of conceiving and I will be forever grateful to her.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

Dr Amin really knows her stuff. I trust her judgment completely. I recommend following her advice and going with the flow.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

Dr Amin is extremely kind and compassionate. She always takes the time to listen to the patient’s concerns and gives opportunities to ask questions during phone conversations or ultrasounds.

Describe the protocols Marli Amin used in your cycles at Reproductive Partners Medical Group and their degree of success.

Because I do not ovulate well on my own (oligoovulation), Dr Amin has me taking Clomid or Letrozole CD5-9 to produce mature eggs. I am triggered when the follicle is 22-26mm in size and we schedule our IUI 2 days later (36-48 hours later). They make you come back for a second IUI the next day if the ultrasound doesn’t confirm ovulation.

I’ve never been poked more than once. Most of the doctors at this location are kind, but can forget details about your specific situation, so it’s good to remind them.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group.

Ultrasounds are $180 each. IUIs are $560 each. SHG is $680-ish HSG was roughly $1000 out of pocket HCG shots are anywhere between $80-100 Was quoted $28,000 for one cycle of IVF with PICSI (including meds) and PGS up to 5 embryos.

Dr Amin is simply amazing. She is always cautiously optimistic but you can tell she truly cares and tries to get to the bottom of any issues. Warm, compassionate, competent all describe the care we receive from her.

Describe the protocols Marli Amin used in your cycles at Reproductive Partners Medical Group and their degree of success.

We originally tried 2 rounds of iui with Letrozole that sadly failed. Then we went for full blown IVF using menopur, follistim, late in cycle Ganirelix with hcg and lupron triggers. We were worried about my wife hyper stimulating and wanted to prevent any complications and she planned for that

Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Partners Medical Group. (Assigned nurse: Stacy)

Stacy is simply amazing. Erica is too. Dawn is ok. We don’t have much experience with Monica and don’t care for Patty much. We try to only deal With Stacy after the bad experiences with Patty and actually requested we don’t deal with her at all. Stacy is the epitome of kindness and compassion and goes above and beyond to make the process less stressful

Describe your experience with Reproductive Partners Medical Group.

Weaknesses: explanation of costs. It has started to feel like after we agreed to do IVF that all communication went out the window and despite taking out a loan to finance through future families we continue to receive unexpected bills which are causing much undue stress. The original financial consult with a Koreena was great but afterwards it has seemed to fall apart. I would recommend having everything lined out so you don’t panic like we have when we’ve gotten an unexpected bill. Strengths: the doctors are all great and compassionate. Stacy and Erica are great nurses. The front desk staff is also amazing

Describe the costs associated with your care under Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group.

We have infertility coverage so for iui and ultrasounds we mostly had specialist copays. We ended up needing to finance approximately $8000 for IVF cycle since insurance covered the majority. The total IVF cycle was much more expensive but included ERA, mock cycle, PGT testing, etc

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Reproductive Partners Medical Group.

We’ve had issues when it has come to the billing after we started at our IVF cycle. We were told that if we were to use Future Family for our IVF lender that it would make everything very simple for us and then after egg retrieval we ended up having multiple unexpected bills that sent us into a state of panic thinking that all the sudden we had extra out-of-pocket expenses. We also had issues with the specialty pharmacy (Avella) not sending the proper amount of medications in nearly endangering our cycle when they would not correct the issue

Review of

Marli Amin Reproductive Partners Medical Group

I came to [Dr. Amin] after suffering with chronic pelvic pain for 4 years. She listens, is extremely patient, and very conservative in my treatment given my current health. Her priority is to make sure I’m comfortable, healthy, and knowledgeable. I love her!... Very patient, answered all my questions, did not try to sell me or pressure me into treatment. I felt like I was treated as her first priority rather than her getting a good star for getting me pregnant.

Nursing staff [at Reproductive Partners Med Group] was great! I worked wi Monica and Stacy. All are wonderful!... Strength: great and friend staff, proactive on communicating prices, expectations of treatments, and show a lot of compassion. Weakness: for me it was just the location of the office. Super far from my home. But has nothing to do with the office.... Meds were roughly $6200, genetics $7,000, retrieval $1200. I think all in all roughly $30k

How was your experience with Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

Describe the protocols Marli Amin used in your cycles at Reproductive Partners Medical Group and their degree of success.

Started with meds/ IUI. I was on 2, 2.5 mg letrezole pills for 5 days. On the second round, we added estradiol to thicken my uterine lining. It caused a massive delay in ovulation. We had hoped to not start with injections given my pelvic pain. We then progressed to injections for IVF even though she expresses concern about me doing it because of how I reacted pain wise to the IUI. She was very conservative in my dosing. I don’t remember the exact protocol but I used gonal f, menapour, HCG, and I can’t remember the third injection or dose. We retrieved 28 eggs, 26 fertilized, 6 genetically viable, 15 embryos total on ice. She mentioned wanted to be conservative in stimulating time ensure better egg quality. No symptoms of OHSS. Due to covid 19, I am waiting for the next steps. I’m 36 in two weeks and very pleased with the result.

Review of

Marli Amin Reproductive Partners Medical Group

Dr Amin is amazing. After IUI I was having the WORST cramping just like my premenstrual endo cramping normally is. She took the time to call me after my husband had called to check on me and see how I was doing. I truly feel like she cares about me as a person/patient and wants to see me starting my family...we started driving 80 miles one way to see Dr Amin and let me tell you she’s worth it...All of our questions were answered in a couple virtually pain free office visits and the only stress being the drive on the 91 to get to her :).

This clinic [Reproductive Partners Medical Group] is great. Clean. Spa like feel. The only issue we’ve had is with office staff having issues getting previous records and not letting us know so that we could intervene. EVERYONE has truly been amazing and I adore each and every one of them...As of now we’ve just done letrozole and IUI...Just one thing with a nurse stating that my HSG had to be done during CD 10-14 and that it could be done on weekends if necessary. When it came time to schedule we were told they didn’t do procedures like HSG on weekends and since I was on birth control (as I had been for months prior) my CD didn’t matter. Minor annoyance but overall no harm no foul :)

How was your experience with Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

She is so amazing. There aren’t enough kind adjectives to describe her in my opinion. After our first RE which traumatized us we started driving 80 miles one way to see Dr Amin and let me tell you she’s worth it. The previous RE always left us with more anxiety than reassurance and questions than answers. NOT with Dr Amin. The exact opposite with her. All of our questions were answered in a couple virtually pain free office visits and the only stress being the drive on the 91 to get to her :).

Review of

Marli Amin Reproductive Partners Medical Group

Dr. Amin was easy to talk to and remained positive when going over the different treatment options....Based on our history, she determined that we had unexplained infertility and though it seemed to be the hardest type to be diagnosed with, she gave us hope that our upcoming treatments under her care would become successful....We went through a normal cycle of clomid of 100mg for 5 days. I have appointments scheduled 2 times a week to complete an ultrasound to measure egg growth.

The clinic [RPMG] was very convenient as far as location and ease of scheduling appointments with. The business hours are very flexible for someone who works full time as they are open saturdays and sundays. They only can do ultrasounds up until 11am, maybe being able to do those later in the day may be helpful in case patient can only make an afternoon appointment.... The finance person went over the cost vs insurance coverage with us thoroughly and provided paperwork for reference.

How was your experience with Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

Dr. Amin was easy to talk to and remained positive when going over the different treatment options. She asked us about any history of our previous treatments we had and offered to review so we would not waste time on any additional testing if it was not needed. Based on our history, she determined that we had unexplained infertility and though it seemed to be the hardest type to be diagnosed with, she gave us hope that our upcoming treatments under her care would become successful. It’s only been one clomid cycle so far with Dr. Amin, so we are hopeful when trying the next few cycles will lead us to the pregnancy we are hoping for. We would definitely recommend Dr. Amin to anyone looking for a caring and compassionate doctor.

Review of

Marli Amin Reproductive Partners Medical Group

Dr. Amin was really professional, nice, showed compassion, patience and understanding. She was not the best communicator. She talked a lot at the consultation, but at subsequent visits she was very quiet and at times didn't fully inform me. ... She had reviewed my medical records ahead of time and took her time to review med history and future goals, and explain our options for fertility treatments. ... All patients start stim injections on Saturdays.

The clinic [Reproductive Partners] seems pretty well organized, and the staff are pleasant and responsive. Scheduling is easy to do. ...

How was your experience with Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

Dr. Amin was really professional, nice, showed compassion, patience and understanding. She was not the best communicator. She talked a lot at the consultation, but at subsequent visits she was very quiet and at times didn't fully inform me. I had to be proactive in asking questions and making suggestions. She was responsive, just didn’t initiate or advise as much as I would have liked. I don’t know if it was due to lack of experience, but she seemed to want to stick to a protocol, even when it seemed like it may not have been working. I’d like consult with other doctors for 2nd or 3rd opinions on what may work better next time.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

Educate yourself about the fertility process and be proactive by pointing out your own observations and asking questions.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

When my husband and I arrived for the consultation, Dr. Amin called us from the waiting room herself. She had reviewed my medical records ahead of time and took her time to review med history and future goals, and explain our options for fertility treatments. During subsequent visits for monitoring, surgery, etc. she also had great bedside manners

Describe the protocols Marli Amin used in your cycles at Reproductive Partners Medical Group and their degree of success.

I believe an antagonist protocol was used. First, I was put on birth control pills for about 2 weeks. All patients start stim injections on Saturdays. I took Menopur, Gonal-F, Ganirelix, and hCG for 2 cycles. Doses (mg, units etc) were not adjusted at all day-to-day or cycle-to-cycle. Only difference was I was on meds for longer # of days during 2nd cycle to give follicles more time to grow. 1st cycle: started with 8 follicles. On retrieval day, out of 7 follicles, 3 mature eggs and 2 immature eggs retrieved. 2nd cycle: Started with 9 follicles (based on what Dr told me during appt, but medical records I requested later only show max of 6 follicles during that cycle). On retrieval day, out of 5 follicles, 2 immature eggs were retrieved and the other follicles were “empty”. The immature eggs retrieved were able to mature overnight in the lab. So, total of 5 eggs frozen from 1st cycle and 2 eggs from 2nd cycle.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Reproductive Partners Medical Group.

The nurses were all great! Kind, patient, organized, and responsive to phone calls and emails.

Describe your experience with Reproductive Partners Medical Group.

The clinic seems pretty well organized, and the staff are pleasant and responsive. Scheduling is easy to do. Hours of operation are pretty good and days of operation are excellent—7 days a week, including some holidays. My one complaint is that one of the financial coordinators was going to call me back about my inquiry of what would happen if we decided to cancel the cycle after stims had already beeb started but before egg retrieval. She was going to check with my insurance and let me know, but she never got back to me. I completed the cycle (and got a poor result) and then contacted the insurance myself and found out I could’ve cancelled the cycle and only paid for treatments up to that point, and could save the unused credit towards part of another cycle. I wish I would’ve contacted my insurance company directly in the first place because the clinic staff was unreliable and I felt like I wasted part of a cycle (time, money, and meds) as a result.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group.

It was covered by insurance. Insurance covered 30% of everything (consults, follow ups, labs, procedures, meds) until OOP max met, then covered 100%. I easily met my deductible and out-of-pocket max of $6500.

Describe Marli Amin's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Reproductive Partners Medical Group.

Marli Amin Reproductive Partners Medical Group

Dr. Amin was always there for any procedure and often changed her schedule just so she handled them herself. I'm one of those rare patients whose uterine linings just wouldn't cooperate and I appreciated that she would continue to try new protocols and often brought in research about supplements, eastern medicine, etc to try alongside the treatment plans so it was a more holistic approach. I cannot say enough good things about her and would recommend her to anyone living in the LA area!

Patty, along with the other nurses at RPMG were fantastic. They were all super friendly, informative, approachable and compassionate. I always received a phone call back the same day and they were always available to answer questions when needed. Also, the appointments are made by the nurses at RPMG, so you can ask questions over the phone, which is nice.... While not the nicest looking office (RPMG Beverly Hills and Redondo are nice offices, the Westminster office is not as nice or up to date as BH), the staff here is excellent...

How was your experience with Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

Dr. Amin is hands down the best doctor. I worked with her for a little over two years and, even though, this clinic was a drive for me and i knew I had good doctors available that were much closer, I still preferred to drive the 30 mins each way just to see her. She's incredibly kind, compassionate, empathetic, trustworthy and down to earth. She makes herself accessible to patients, even after hours, explains all procedures in great detail, delivers bad news in the best way possible - she's informative and direct, but also so incredibly kind and sympathetic in her delivery. She's the kind of doctor that would follow-up just to make sure you were okay, even days after.Dr. Amin was always there for any procedure and often changed her schedule just so she handled them herself.

If you ask her, she will always make time for you, so let her know when you have questions or when you feel like want another consultation.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group?

Dr. Amin has the BEST bedside manner of any doctor that I've ever had, even outside of the fertility world. Obviously, infertility is a delicate subject and often very emotional, and she handles every situation with grace and kindness. She made herself completely available to me, even after hours, always took time to answer any questions we had and managed to deliver even the worst news in the best way possible. I always felt very cared for, emotionally and physically. I'm honestly so thankful to have worked with her during this incredibly difficult journey.

Describe the protocols Marli Amin used in your cycles at Reproductive Partners Medical Group and their degree of success.

IVF protocol: I did not use Lupron in my protocol, but instead used birth control for a few weeks and then used Menopur and Gonal-F simultaneously. She monitored closely and adjusted dosage based on follicle development. Dr. Amin recommended a frozen embryo transfer, so we froze all, did PGS testing and proceeded with a frozen transfer.

While not the nicest looking office (RPMG Beverly Hills and Redondo are nice offices, the Westminster office is not as nice or up to date as BH), the staff here is excellent, there isn't as long of a wait, you always see a doctor and they can do non-surgical procedures like hysteroscopies and transfers there.

Describe Marli Amin's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Reproductive Partners Medical Group.

Dr. Amin was open to multiple, but strongly recommended eSET, especially because our embryos were tested. I appreciated this approach because it proved to my that this wasn't just about increasing her or the clinics pregnancy rates, but she was truly looking out for what was best for my health and the baby's health.

They [Dr. Marli Amin and her staff] were very specific to my cases never did I once here a comparison btwn myself and other cases. My case is very unique and unlike many others; and because of it I never felt she was very sympathetic and understanding.... There are many doctors at that practice. I can sincerely say there IS no weaknesses. If for whatever reason I had to see a different Dr; nothing was ever lost in translation, nor did it ever slip through the cracks. I was always able to reach Dr. Amin by email, and if she preferred to talk vs. emailing she would call me if she could. I even emailed her once while she was on vacation, and she responded immediately. I appreciated having her be that accessible.

[The nurses at Reproductive Partners Medical Group were] Well informed. If I had a question re: meds I would always ask to speak to dr before hand. Of course, staff always needed to screen the call and I get that. When I advised any questions or concerns I had; they would help me without me needing to talk to Dr.Amin. Schedule kindly and greatfuly around my work schedule

Be patient. Sometimes, like any doctors office they run behind. Rarely does it affect ones appt. This office is quick and very knowledgeable about your case regardless of who you are talking to.

Marli Amin Reproductive Partners Medical Group

Dr Amin is very thorough when she is explaining things. I do a fair amount of research myself so I can ask her specific things and she is great about me doing that. She also always has time for questions. She’s quick to respond on email as well even during all that is going on now with covid...I did 2 cycles of clomid and iui with her. They were pretty standard...The first time we only inseminated once and the second time we did two times.

All of them [nurses at Reproductive Partners Medical Group] have been great and very helpful whether I’m in office, calling or emailing...Our iuis were $1,500-$2,000 for each. Ultrasounds are $160. Same day blood tests are $80-$90. Initial consultation is $250. Follow up consultation to move from iui to ivf was $135...Everything is good but going over the financials could be done a little different. At the end of your initial consultation they go over the treatment and costs and feels a little like buying a car and picking different features. Perhaps there is a way to soften this up a bit.

Describe the protocols Marli Amin used in your cycles at Reproductive Partners Medical Group and their degree of success.

I did 2 cycles of clomid and iui with her. They were pretty standard. This was a year ago and I don’t remember a lot of specifics. My dosing was 5mg clomid for 5 days and then a trigger shot. The first time we only inseminated once and the second time we did two times.

Dr. Amin is the kindest doctor and had always made me feel completely comfortable. She was honest about our options and expectations. When I miscarried, she called me personally to apologize and has called me weekly to check on me. I trust her whole heartedly and am grateful to have found her....After running every test imaginable, my husband and I were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. She explained that we would first try a low dose of clomid paired with an IUI.

Honestly I have nothing big positive things to say about the clinic [Reproductive Partners Medical Group], the staff and Dr. Amin. We’ve had nothing but positive experiences and really feel cared for. Even when experiencing loss, we have gotten nothing but compassion from the entire staff. I am confident that we will carry a pregnancy to term with the help of Dr. Amin and staff.... the staff has always taken care of all of the billing for us with the insurance.

There was only a couple times that I called in and they were unsure of the protocol.

Dr Amin [at Reproductive Partners] is a dream. She has a magnetic warmth surpassed only by her knowledge of fertility and the IVF process. So personable and friendly while maintaining a level of professionalism that makes you feel like you're okay no matter what. She's honest and straightforward in a very nurturing way. Her actions are always in support of your goal of getting pregnant, even if it means her own business loses money. That's something I did not see from the other fertility docs we consulted with.

I did a minimal stimulation (because if you have less than 4 follicles during an avg cycle, more drugs will not help) IVF course of egg retrieval twice, on clomid for 5 days, then doing one HCG injectable a few days prior to planned egg retrieval. The egg retrievals were easy and painless with hardly any down time.

[Dr. Amin] is easy to talk to. I am not paying $25K to have a nice doctor. I am paying for results, which I didn't get. I felt there weren't too much creativity to the Art of Medicine with tweaking protocols for the patient. It was more of a standardized approach...both protocols were never adjusted and the 2nd cycle I did 0 bloodwork after starting injections.

$15,900 for traditional cycle and meds were additional $4k...There were a few times that [Reproductive Partners Medical Group] nurse kept asking for the same paperwork when I had emailed them 3 times and they still didn't upload to the patient portal. I was not able to get my results , I had to ask for them to be uploaded so make sure you remind them to upload it..

Describe your experience with Reproductive Partners Medical Group.

It's a place to try to get you pregnant with their mini, mild, or traditional protocol. That is all. There were a few times that the nurse kept asking for the same paperwork when I had emailed them 3 times and they still didn't upload to the patient portal. I was not able to get my results , I had to ask for them to be uploaded so make sure you remind them to upload it, after all, they are your records and you paid $15,900 for one cycle where you would deserve to get the paperwork.

Marli Amin Reproductive Partners Medical Group

Just started the first cycle [with Dr. Marli Amin]...I was recommended single embryo transfer since it prevents twins and all the complications that come with it...is very personable and approachable. She explained everything in detail during our consultation and ultrasounds. Everything was laid out in plain terms easy to understand...easy to talk to and she makes you feel like you are in good hands...She was able to explain my plan of care and answer all the questions I have.

[Reproductive Partners Medical Group has a] Convenient location by the FWY, large space, doesn't feel crammed. Disadvantage - a bit dark, no windows, a lot of artificial light. Clinic is very clean and seems newly renovated, equipment looks new too...All the nurses are great and seem to know what they are doing. Everyone was eager to answer questions over and again and make sure you are comfortable with your care...

Marli Amin Reproductive Partners Medical Group

Dont be afraid to ask questions bc [Dr. Marli Amin] truly listens...She always took the time to talk to me and find out how i was truly feeling. She LISTENED yo my concerns and addressed them...had gentle hands and was always cautious to make sure i felt comfortable. She set the right expectations and was honest about what she could do to help. She knew what she was doing and i respect her so much.

The whole team [at Reproductive Partners Medical Group] was positive and on top of things. There was a great environment and you could tell that the nurses all worked great together...They all were hopeful and encouraging. They want you to get your dream of a baby and you can just feel it. It is a great clinic anf i will go back if we need to for our next child...It was cheaper out of pocket to visit the doctors at this clinic than my own obgyn.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Marli Amin at Reproductive Partners Medical Group.

It was cheaper out of pocket to visit the doctors at this clinic than my own obgyn. I believe the cost of an iui was around $700 a month, assuming you didnt need additional ultrasounds... but most of these costs were thankfully covered by my insurance.
