Dr. Will is incredibly personable. He does an excellent job of presenting realistic outcomes while still painting an optimistic picture overall. He also explains every process thoroughly...We trust him completely in choosing the right procedures for us. It is frustrating not to meet or speak with him every single time, but when we do get to work with him, we are always pleased with the consultations...consider whether or not you are willing to commute to Indianapolis on a regular basis since that is where he primarily works. He is only available in Fort Wayne on Mondays.
Brooke is a fantastic nurse at Midwest Fertility Specialists. She takes great care to explain all the work being done while we are in the office. She also leaves me very detailed messages about next steps when calling. She is patient in answering all questions and in demonstrating necessary steps, such as administering the trigger shot at home...After our first IUI, we were told that someone would call us with the semen analysis. That call never happened. When we ourselves called to discuss the semen analysis before our second IUI, the nurse in Fort Wayne provided us with a different summary than the nurse in Indianapolis who administered the first IUI. Their accounts differed in terms of good numbers pre- and post-wash.

Describe the protocols Matthew Will used in your cycles at Midwest Fertility Specialists and their degree of success.
Dr. Will first looked for potential causes of my PCOS symptoms and determined that I likely had polyps in my uterus. Those polyps were removed eight months after we first began meeting with him. He also diagnosed my husband with male factor infertility and started him on Clomid two months after we first started working with Dr. Will. We had our first IUI with Letrozole and a trigger shot 10 months after working with him, and we are having our second IUI this month, about 11 months after our first meeting, using the same procedures as last time. We have met with Dr. Will for all of the above decisions except the latest decision to complete our second IUI using the same protocol as the first.

Describe your experience with Midwest Fertility Specialists.
While we are very pleased with our doctor and nurse at Midwest Fertility Specialists, we struggle with the clinic in general. It is very difficult to book appointments as very few slots are offered during the times when teachers are free. While we are based in Fort Wayne, procedures can only be completed at this branch on Tuesdays-Thursdays, requiring us to drive two hours to Indianapolis if we need a procedure done on other days. Finally, there have also been several issues with the billing department. Bills have been sent to us in the wrong amount. Procedures have also been billed incorrectly to our insurance. While Midwest tried to correct the mistake with our insurance, our insurance ultimately refused to pay that bill because of the initial mistake, costing us an extra $350 that we should not have had to pay.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists.
The initial consultation cost between $200-250. Most of our other appointments were at least partially covered by insurance before our official diagnosis of infertility. Our first and second IUI cycles cost $1,150 each.

He [Dr. Matthew Will] will sit down and answer all of your questions, in words that you will understand. He even made drawings to explain things to us. Don't be afraid. He is seriously a saint...He sat down with us for our initial consultation for an hour. He asked us about our personal lives and even told us that he wanted to get to know us as people, not just as patients. He actively listened to us and he was engaged...He monitors his patients very closely. He does everything in his power to be the physician doing procedures for his patients. I cant say enough wonderful things about Dr. Will. He is an angel.
Emily [nurse at Midwest Fertility Specialists] has a very positive personality. She is very thorough and explains everything very well...Ivf was 12,641 with genetic testing and retrieval. The transfer is about 4,000. The medications are separate and you pay the pharmacy...Strengths are that they are really quick to return your calls. They have a schedule that accommodates me. Weakness is that after 4pm you cannot leave a message or contact anyone until the next business day (unless it is an emergency).

How was your experience with Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists?
Dr. Will is amazing. I had a different fertility doctor, but she retired in June which was right after a failed iui course. I was so distraught when my previous doctor retired because I really liked her and was so comfortable. My husband and I did our research on the other physicians in that practice and decided to go with Dr. Will. Oh my gosh, we are so glad we did. We wish we would've had him from the beginning, that's how much we liked him. He was so attentive. He reviewed our file and knew things about us prior to the initial consultation. He was so warm and welcoming. We are currently going to an ivf cycle and I feel so at peace with Dr. Will. He monitors his patients very closely. He does everything in his power to be the physician doing procedures for his patients. I cant say enough wonderful things about Dr. Will. He is an angel.

Describe the protocols Matthew Will used in your cycles at Midwest Fertility Specialists and their degree of success.
1) Cycle education about 2 weeks prior to start date.
2) cycle day 1 call to inform office. Day 2 you go in for baseline labs/ultrasound. Set up appts for every day for the next week. Using gonal f and menopur. Labs and ultrasound on days 2 and 5 of cycle. The remaining labs and ultrasounds are based on lab levels, but typically every other day or every day as you get closer to retrieval. So far I have 16 follicles on my right side and 15 on my left.

Dr Will always took time to answer my questions. He was very knowledgeable of my particular situation & I didn’t have to remind him of every detail like other providers I’ve been to in the past...takes extra care during delicate situations. When I had a missed miscarriage he was very kind and acknowledged the disappointment we felt. He called me to make sure I knew what to expect in the coming days. I live about 1 1/2 hours from the office so he set up a phone appointment after I had a local D&C. I really appreciate those small considerations.
The clinic [Midwest Fertility Specialists] offers a “package deal” for each cycle. This includes any and all ultrasounds, labs, visits, etc...The Ft Wayne clinic is small and like many offices, the front office staff are not always tuned into your particular medical situation. Sometimes even having to say the words miscarriage is enough to push you right over the edge. They could communicate this better with the whole staff. That being said, the whole staff is always very pleasant and willing to answer any questions along the way.

Describe the protocols Matthew Will used in your cycles at Midwest Fertility Specialists and their degree of success.
I have PCOS and we were given the option of IUI or timed intercourse. We were told the overall likelihood of conception is around the same with either. We chose timed intercourse and used letrozole, Follitropin injections, and Ovidrel to stimulate ovulation once my ovarian follicles were large enough. Then we were told to have intercourse over a couple days and 2 weeks later take a home pregnancy test. The next cycle we skipped letrozole and became pregnant.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Nursing staff is very nice at the Ft Wayne location. They seem to pick up on the times when you are having a bad day and just don’t really want to talk about it. They are available through the patient portal and are quick to respond.

He [Dr. Will] was really great explaining everything to us and making sure we had a full understanding of everything going on. We went to the fort wayne location so we only saw him once per cycle but when we did it was a great experience. He was very nice and blunt in the best kind of way, he made sure we were doing everything we could and would praise us and make a big deal if something went right. He never rushed and we always felt that we had all the time in the world to make sure that we got all of our questions and concerns answered.
They [MW Fert Spec] were overall great. Communication, making sure we understood, leading us to discounts, they were wonderful.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists?
He made sure to explain everything to us and made sure we understood everything going on.

It was all very comforting to hear and for the staff to all be upset along woth us when something didn't go as we hoped.
Describe the protocols Matthew Will used in your cycles at Midwest Fertility Specialists and their degree of success.
The first cycle we did was Leteozole for 5mg for cycle day 3-7. I went for an ultrasound and I was not responding to the letrozole. So they upped my dose to 7mg and we tried that the next cycle. There was still no response. The third cycle with him we did follistim 50mg cycle day 7-12 and did letrozole 7mg 3-7. I actually responded and had one follicle 21mm and a smaller one at 16mm. I did IUI on cycle day 15 with a ovidril trigger shot 36 hours prior. We are waiting now to see if it worked or not
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
They were all wonderful. They explained everything perfectly and were completely understanding considering some went through this themselves. Everytime they would call they would act dissapointing and tell us they hoped they had better news. They listened to us and made sure we felt comfortable.

Dr. Will was very warm and encouraging at the first meeting and took time from his schedule to do a phone meeting with my husband and I in order to accommodate our long commute to his office. He was able to start a new cycle tailoring to what I have already tried and what we felt comfortable with financially.... Dr Will continued my previous treatment dose of letrozole because I was responding to it. However he added Gonal F to be a little more aggressive. Had the option of IUI but chose to do timed intercourse with trigger to save some money knowing that we had healthy sperm.
They [Midwest Fertility Specialists] understood my circumstance and really accommodated our needs immediately. Very friendly staff. Make sure to understand the package price vs what I call “a la carte’’ pricing. I still don’t fully understand the rationale but basically you can choose to pay a certain price on Day 1 of the cycle, which may be more or less than the total cost of all treatment received.... The baseline ultrasound is $435. Subsequent ultrasounds are $355.

How was your experience with Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists?
Being dealt the cards that IVF was our only option to conceive was heart breaking, earth shattering, you name it we felt it! I could not have imagined going through this process with any other doctor. We are so grateful to have been matched up with Dr.Will. He is everything and more you would ask in a fertility doctor. He is compassionate, empathetic, and is so wonderful at communicating. Our first IVF wasn’t the easiest road after we were pregnant, as we had a lot of scares and each time we came in you felt his genuine care to make sure we and the baby were okay. Words aren’t enough to explain how wonderful Dr.Will is as a person and as a doctor.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists?
That you couldn’t be in better hands and to not be afraid to ask any question even if you feel it’s a crazy question. Dr.Will will always make you feel comfortable.

Describe the protocols Matthew Will used in your cycles at Midwest Fertility Specialists and their degree of success.
My husband’s sperm measured abnormal in all 3 categories so our beat option to successfully conceive was to do IVF. We had done all the pre testing including the dye in my Fallopian tubes and thankfully everything looked good on my end. We had daily injections leading up to the egg retrieval. Then went into a fresh transfer. We transferred 2 embryos and thankfully one attached. During the pregnancy I was overstimulated to the point my stomach was distended and I was collecting liquid. I had to be sent to have a procedure done to release the liquids. I also became dehydrated and had to be put on an IV of fluids, but thankfully that was also the day we found out we were pregnant. So it made that not feeling so well feel amazing! I also had unexplained bleeding throughout my first trimester so I was on close watch throughout with ultrasounds and as a result Dr.Will kept me on longer as a patient before turning me over to my OBGYN, which we greatly appreciated. We felt so cared for that it felt like a family member taking care of us versus a doctor.

I had a child before I came into see Dr. Will. I have a little PCOS but mostly it was secondary infertility. From the moment we met Dr. Will, I felt at ease knowing that he would help me have another child. ... I did IUI three times and each time did not get pregnant. We moved onto IVF and we transferred 2 embryos.... He was very elaborate about what the procedures were going to look like and all the things associated with it.
Everyone at the clinic is friendly, helpful and generally nice! They are always willing to help get you on the schedule and comfort you if something is wrong. I have yet to meet someone there that I was not greeted with a smiling face and a warm heart.... Cheryl was a great nurse. Very organized, helpful and even let me come in and get my progesterone shots when my husband was out of town. Emily is a great nurse as well. She is kind, helpful, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She always calls to give me answers to questions I have and help me find the best solution to medicine that I am taking.

I had a child before I came into see Dr. Will. I have a little PCOS but mostly it was secondary infertility. From the moment we met Dr. Will, I felt at ease knowing that he would help me have another child. He explained everything that he was going to try to do and how each step would look. He is extremely caring, helpful, understanding and compassionate. I did IUI three times and each time did not get pregnant. We moved onto IVF and we transferred 2 embryos. They both stuck...amazing! Around 9 weeks, we found out that one of the embryos did not make it. Dr. Will was there the whole time during my ultrasound, holding my hand while I cried and comforting me and explaining to me what he thought had happened. After leaving, I felt a lot more at ease knowing what was going on and that he was going to monitor me extra to make sure the other baby would be safe. Now we have a little boy who we love dearly. He truly is an amazing man who cares deeply for each patient he sees and LOVES what he does!

Describe the protocols Matthew Will used in your cycles at Midwest Fertility Specialists and their degree of success.
We did 3 IUI's that did not work. We moved onto IVF and used Follistim, Menopur, estrogen and progestrone. I don't remember the dosage though. We got 27 eggs, 22 matured, 11 fertilized and 5 made it to blastocysts. We transferred 2 embryos on our fresh cycle. They both stuck and had heartbeats. Around 9 weeks, we lost 1 of the babies. We waited a year and a half and did a frozen transfer. This time, we only transferred 1 embryo. It did not stick. I was on 2 mg of estrogen 3x a day from day 2 of my period. On day 14 of my cycle, I started progesterone. (1.5 ml a day) I also had to take Doxycycline and Methylprednisolone 4 days before my transfer. (2x a day)
We are going to do a mock cycle this time around to make sure that my endometrium is good and the right time for implantation. After that, we will try for another FET with just 1 embryo.

My insurance did cover some monitoring appts but other than that we paid out of pocket. It was around $10,000 for IVF plus my medicine which was probably around $4500. We also paid for some appts after I got pregnant which I can't remember what that came out to be. We paid around $2000 for our FET plus medicine (which was minimal...around $250) but it didn't work.
Describe Matthew Will's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Midwest Fertility Specialists.
The first time we did IVF (fresh cycle), Dr. Will was ok with me doing 2 embryos. Our frozen cycle, he told me it was always up to me but he preferred I did only 1 embryo because of my age, my previous pregnancy and just the overall health benefits for me.

Dr. Will has been fantastic throughout the process. He's gone above and beyond what most doctors would do in terms of customer service. He spends as much time as it takes to answer all our questions without rushing us and he has even personally made calls to third-parties on our behalf to make things happen quickly....as we are preparing for our second cycle of IVF, Dr. Will spent a lot of time discussing the tweaks to the regime for this round and the rationale for why he was making them and why we didn't do it that way the first time around.
The clinic [MW Fert Spec] is clean, convenient and is staffed with very nice employees who generally put a premium on customer service and bed-side manner. If there is any complaint, it would be that there can be times where wait times for appointments get long....The cost for IUI was less than what I had expected after researching online... We appreciated that MFC participated in the Attain program and also offered their own in-house program for purchasing multiple cycles with a discount and some guarantees.

I don't recall the specific drugs/dosages, but as we are preparing for our second cycle of IVF, Dr. Will spent a lot of time discussing the tweaks to the regime for this round and the rationale for why he was making them and why we didn't do it that way the first time around. He was very thorough.

My wife dealt with Emily the most, but she always felt informed and reassured after speaking with her.
Describe your experience with Midwest Fertility Specialists.
The clinic is clean, convenient and is staffed with very nice employees who generally put a premium on customer service and bed-side manner. If there is any complaint, it would be that there can be times where wait times for appointments get long. While inconvenient, this is understandable given the staff's dedication to answering all questions until the patient is fully informed without rushing them out the door. Moreover, scheduling for them has to be difficult given the fact that with these kinds of treatments, patients are required to call in for a next day appointment all the time due to cycles and timing.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists.
The cost for IUI was less than what I had expected after researching online (around $600 vs $800). IVF is obviously expensive, but the clinic's costs weren't out of whack with what we expected after researching online. We appreciated that MFC participated in the Attain program and also offered their own in-house program for purchasing multiple cycles with a discount and some guarantees.

Dr. Will is one of the most compassionate doctors I've ever worked with...went above and beyond my expectations for this journey. He was thorough in his answers, understood our nerves and helped to alleviate them. He made calls when it wasn't really his job to get paperwork completed (he actually called the fertility program we're working with to get our paperwork rolling b/c the office had limited staff due to weather). He called us even when he didn't need to b/c we had an odd appointment for an ultrasound and he wanted to make sure that we understood everything he takes into consideration and that he knows the techs all measure follicles differently (and he accounts for that) so he looks at the images taken too...not just follicle count and sizes they provided us
Emily [nurse at Midwest Fertility Specialists] was amazing! Always caring and compassionate when I had to call and say I got a negative pregnancy test with our IUI's and throughout all of our appointments...We paid $525 for each IUI...$1400 to genesis counseling (for the PGS testing), $450 for anesthesia to the clinic, $5K for the stim meds and eventually will have to pay for the transfer and transfer meds.

Every time we have met with him he is compassionate, understanding, thorough and fun. If you can't laugh with your doctor when you're going through this then who can you laugh with (especially when I told him I was going to create "infertility bingo" because I seemed to be checking all the boxes off of statistics related to infertility (1 in 4 miscarriages, 1 in 8 women have infertility issues, % of women with an inverted uterus, % of women who have a failed first IVF cycle, etc.) and that I wouldn't need the free space to win! HA!
I can't imagine this journey with another doctor. Dr. Will is one in a million and we are lucky to have him on our side!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists?
Ask any question you want to ask...be your own advocate...and know that he'll answer every last one of them. Don't be afraid to ask him...he's just the best! And be prepared for his laugh...it's amazing and brings a smile to your face!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists?
Dr. Will is one of the most compassionate doctors I've ever worked with. He took the time to explain everything to us, making sure we understood, went out of his way to do things for us in our process and reminded us that this is possible and he'll do everything he can to help us achieve our dream. He made me feel human and every time we were with him it was just about us, not about what was happening the rest of the day or in the office.

Emily was amazing! Always caring and compassionate when I had to call and say I got a negative pregnancy test with our IUI's and throughout all of our appointments. She even marked an x on my butt for our trigger shot to make sure my husband gave me the shot in the right spot :). All of the nurses we worked with were informative and caring.
Describe your experience with Midwest Fertility Specialists.
Strength: Great staff and facilities!
Weakness: they get behind on appointments a lot; but after having one of those longer than planned appointments where they answered every last question to make sure we understood everything I know why they get backed up. And I appreciate them getting backed up if it's b/c of that.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists.

I did 4 IUIs with Dr. Will, however the only time I saw him or spoke to him was at our consultation and then our "next steps" meeting after 4 failed IUIs. We actually had a 5th in there that was cancelled due to too many eggs being released, and even then I was communicated with only by the nurses.... Dr. Will was very pleasant - I just felt like he was very one size fits all with his treatment plan. I did not like that we never spoke to him or even saw him during our 4 IUIs.
They [Midwest Fertility Specialists] are pretty much always open making scheduling not stressful and they do a great job getting you in when you need to be in. I just felt like overall there are too many patients and moving parts at this clinic. You become just a number quickly and it is hard to trust a doctors decision when you don't hear it from them.... Recently, I had issues getting my chart sent to my new clinic. Not a huge deal, but definitely annoying.

How was your experience with Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists?
Dr. Will was very pleasant - I just felt like he was very one size fits all with his treatment plan. I did not like that we never spoke to him or even saw him during our 4 IUIs. I felt like since we were not doing IVF we weren't a priority.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists?
To ask that he be the one to communicate and evaluate the treatment plan, not the nurses.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists?

We actually had a 5th in there that was cancelled due to too many eggs being released, and even then I was communicated with only by the nurses. Although the nurses were nice, I felt like they had no idea what was going on and I making decisions regarding my treatment plan that I am not qualified to do. I would have to remind them on the phone of what we had done in past months and what had worked or hadn't.
Describe the protocols Matthew Will used in your cycles at Midwest Fertility Specialists and their degree of success.
Each month we played with my dosage as well as the days we did the IUI - I honestly felt like I was leading the charge on this. I would provide my recommendation to the nurse and she would say "sounds good". Looking back, I cannot believe this is what happened! I am not the expert!
Describe your experience with your nurse at Midwest Fertility Specialists. (Assigned nurse: Emily)
Emily was very friendly and nice, however I felt like she never knew what was going on. I had to remind her of past treatment plans, I wish she looked at my chart before calling. She was always in a hurry too - making me feel like I was taking too much time and there were too many patients to see.
The BEST person at MWF is Minnie who took blood. She was the sweetest and made the entire process so much better.

Describe the protocols Matthew Will used in your cycles at Midwest Fertility Specialists and their degree of success.
Initially, we tried letrozole with injections and are you why. After three rounds, we had no pregnancy. I conceived naturally in between the next cycle. When trying to get pregnant for the second time, I had to chemical pregnancies and return to the clinic for further care. He thought that since I had the ability to conceive, we would do just injections and timed intercourse. After two rounds of failure, we decided IVF because I am advanced maternal age. We had microdose Lupron with injections and only produced a small number of mature follicles. Only one egg fertilized and then arrested during development.

Cheryl George is the nurse [at Midwest Fertility Specialists] I have been talking with. Cheryl is beyond amazing and goes above and beyond for her patients.

Describe the protocols Matthew Will used in your cycles at Midwest Fertility Specialists and their degree of success.
After 3 miscarriages from IVF, my RE at the time suggested considering using a surrogate to carry the baby due to my uterine anomaly (unicornate uterus). We transferred our embryos to Dr. Will's clinic (Midwest Fertility Specialists) for a surrogacy transfer. Unfortunately, 2 of our 3 remaining embryos did not survive the thaw (due to the transfer of the embryos from clinic to another clinic or the stress from PGS testing on the embryos). We will never know why the great quality embryos did not survive the thaw and that still is hard to swallow. The last embryo thawed but was very fragmented, Dr. Will thought it was good enough to transfer and we prayed and hoped, but unfortunately the transfer ended up as a negative pregnancy test. During this stressful and heartbreaking time, Dr. Will showed great compassion and willing to help any way he could. He is readily available for questions and his care for his patients is truly amazing. We currently are in waiting process to save up enough money to try IVF again with a surrogate (who is my willing sister) since with are completely out of embryos.

He [Dr. Matthew Will] was very caring, thorough, and honest with us when he felt a course of treatment wasn't working. He went above and beyond. He was very invested in our success, but so very realistic about our chances (which I appreciate). I have nothing negative to say about him..... He also had me take a NeoQ10 with my last cycle, but it didn't end up improving my egg quality. I took Follistim and Menkpur with l three cycles.
They [Midwest Fertility Specialists] are easy to schedule with. Appointment times are pretty on track. Payment process is easy. I do wish they had earlier appointments appointments for at least the blood draws and ultrasounds as I have had to miss a lot of work over the years.... I think all of the IVF cycles were like 12k and meds were about 5k. Our donor embryo cycles were like 6k I believe. Our insurance doesn't cover fertility treatments.

Describe the protocols Matthew Will used in your cycles at Midwest Fertility Specialists and their degree of success.
I don't remember exactly what the first ivf protocol was called,.maybe antagonist. It involved Ganirelix and was cancelled part way through due to poor response, so never got to the egg retrieval. I only have one working ovary and poor egg quality and quantity due to a lot of previous surgeries. The next two IVF cycles were microdose lupron protocol. I took Follistim and Menopur with all of them. I did get a couplr embryos each time, but they were poor quality. All three cycles were unsuccessful. He also had me take a NeoQ10 with my last cycle, but it didn't end up improving my egg quality. I took Follistim and Menkpur with l three cycles.

I appreciate that Dr. Will advises single embryo transfer and is clear about the risk of multiples. He is proactive yet conservative in his approach...I show no signs of female-factor infertility so Dr. Will used an agonist protocol. He reduced medications slightly during my stims to prevent overstimulation and used a combination trigger shot as well since I was growing 20+ follicles during my monitoring appointments...Whenever we meet with him, he gives us his full attention and is 100% focused on our situation. Dr. Will calls us personally to provide updates and is always up-to-speed on where we are in the process
Midwest Fertility is very organized and professional. Everyone I have interacted with so far has been wonderful. Due to the size of the clinic, you may end up seeing other doctors (for example, another doctor had to do my egg retrieval due to scheduling) but I've been very impressed with everyone I interact with. I have full confidence that they are using state-of-the-art technology. Even though it is a larger clinic, every patient is treated like an individual.

Dr. Will was more than happy to meet with my husband and I, always knew our names and always appeared to know where we were at in the process of our journey. Dr. Will was patient, honest and transparent and had humor which helps! He was more than happy to answer all of our questions.... I appreciated Dr. Will's willingness to be aggressive from the start, he understood that my husband and I were ready to get pregnant and were tired of lousy medical advice, he started our meds that day and we scheduled a day 14 ultrasound as we left the consultation.
The clinic [Midwest Fertility Specialists] was open 7 days a week and available to do ultrasounds or procedures 7 days a week. The only weakness is no lab at the center, at least not in 2016. The staff were knowledgeable of how to bill to maximize benefits and were always friendly/... The nurses always knew my name, knew where I was at in my journey, listened to my questions and sought clarification from Dr. Will, helped normalize the process and my emotions and didn't focus on what's next but where I was at that day.

How was your experience with Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists?
Dr. Will was patient, kind and funny! Dr. Will joked during our consultation that his job is to "get you pregnant, although not by me!" I appreciated Dr. Will's willingness to be aggressive from the start, he understood that my husband and I were ready to get pregnant and were tired of lousy medical advice, he started our meds that day and we scheduled a day 14 ultrasound as we left the consultation. He was transparent during our treatment and was also visibly knowledgeable about the process.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists?
His humor is meant with good intentions.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists?
Dr. Will was more than happy to meet with my husband and I, always knew our names and always appeared to know where we were at in the process of our journey. Dr. Will was patient, honest and transparent and had humor which helps! He was more than happy to answer all of our questions.

Dr. Will was caring and elaborate in his comprehensive explanation of what the process would entail and was upfront with the potential issues we might encounter. He was kind enough to call (from his personal cell phone) and check on my wife throughout the process and was patient at every appointment.... He did inform us (with all the reasons and details) we needed to do ICSI because my husband had very low motility and mobility.
The check out receptionist [Midwest Fertility Specialists] was my absolute favorite. She had the best personality and always was friendly- but not annoying or over the top- she was just so real! Appointments (and trust me I had a million of them) were very close to their scheduled times. I very rarely ever had to wait past my appointment time.... She [nurse] was very helpful, patient, sweet, and detail oriented. Answered all our questions and in some cases repeated herself multiple times to make sure we truly understood.

How was your experience with Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists?
Dr. Will was our doctor up until 12 weeks at which point and time my wife had to transition to her OBGYN. This was an incredibly difficult transition as we had both grown so close to Dr. Will and his staff and weren’t quite ready to leave this team of incredible friends and supporters. We missed him dearly the rest of the pregnancy, however he did reach out to check on us a few times. He also made sure we sent photos of our twin girls to him once they arrived!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Matthew Will at Midwest Fertility Specialists?
This process is an emotional roller coaster but Dr. Will and his staff will help you get comfortable each and every step of the way. It is a journey and the scientific advances are only a small part of the process as you will form new and lasting bonds with these people throughout this experience. I couldn’t give a higher endorsement of Dr. Will. We have referred several couples to his practice.

I don’t remember exactly (this was over 3 years ago now)
He did inform us (with all the reasons and details) we needed to do ICSI because my husband had very low motility and mobility.
He had my husband also give a sample before the transfer day and froze it just in case. And thank the Lord he did this because the sample he gave the day of was not adequate and couldn’t be used.
Dr Will used the frozen sample and it worked.

Describe Matthew Will's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Midwest Fertility Specialists.
Dr Will told us he would not put more than 2 eggs back in any patient of his for safety reasons. He was very confident we would be successful only putting one embryo back, but said it was ultimately our decision. So we went big and put 2 back- and both took! :-)

he clinic [MW Fert Spec - Carmel]is very nice, clean, and modern. They are flexible with scheduling and I really enjoyed all the techs and office staff. The financial coordinators are not good. After we switched clinics, we discovered that Midwest had overcharged us by over $10k. they said that our insurance company did not cover treatment, and refused to try to bill despite us thinking we had coverage. Later, our insurance company provided tapes where Midwest was told on two separate occasions they could bill for services. They ended up refunding the money but were not nice about it.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Midwest Fertility Specialists. (Assigned nurse: Cheryl )
Dr Will's nurse was the primary reason why we left the clinic. We did not feel that she answered questions, and in fact would make us more concerned by providing information but then backing off from it, leaving us wondering what was going on.

Dr. Will really cares about helping me have a child. I feel like he is confident in that, which makes me confident as well. He calls me himself at times and wants to make sure I understand everything. I live about two hours from the office and he tries to accommodate me as much as possible... I used menopur injections to stimulate my ovaries. I was monitored closely by ultrasound and blood work 2-4 times per week. Once I got to the correct stage, my husband and I tried to conceive naturally. We tried this three times with no avail.
The facility [Midwest Fertility Specialists] is clean and inviting. The doctor is the one who gets you from the waiting room (which is something I appreciated and never experienced before).

Dr Will told us if we did Pgs he would feel more comfortable transferring one. If we didn’t do the testing due to my age he would transfer two...He always seemed genuine with his help, when we only got 5 eggs at the retrieval I could sense he was upset right along with us...My husband and I had taken ivf off the table years ago but dr will made it seem possible for us. He always seemed very compassionate and very caring in talking with myself and my husband. I felt like he talked to us like people not just another patient.
Everyone was always extremely friendly [at Midwest Fertility Specialists]. Office was always really clean. They are always good about appointment times and we never really had to wait too long even during the stimulation part of the ivf process. They were also really personable I really like the clinic and would recommend to others...Emily [nurse] was amazing. Working full time I couldn’t always pick up the phone to ask questions but I emailed her and she was great at getting back with me right away...I absolutely love dr Will and his office.

Dr. Will has been wonderful to work with. He is very caring and understanding of our struggles. He has been very willing to work with us at every step of the process, and is very good at explaining to us just exactly what the plan is/should be. It can be a bit of a struggle as he splits his time between two different offices, but there are only good things to say when we are actually together. Dr. Will has also expressed his willingness to help us further should our first attempt at IVF prove not to be successful. He is wonderful to work with.
The staff [Midwest Fertility Specialists] is small and caring. The team is knowledgeable and very willing to work with you.

I will never ever forget how amazing he was....I did my monitoring for CCRM here. I also did one IUI with injectables....They are a well organized and friendly clinic. Their 7-day a week hours and quick on-site lab made things easy-breezy. The staff are impeccable.
