Millie Behera

Through the course of my treatment, I only saw the doctor a few times. She built a relationship in those few visits and instilled a lot of confidence. I trusted her 100% and didn't question anything that was suggested even when we were failing. Ultimately though, I think she told us what we needed to hear instead of being straightforward with facts.

Separate the connection you make with Dr. Behera and don't let it cloud your process. Ask lots of questions especially when things are not going positively. Know that she is very busy and will not be the one performing most of the procedures.

Dr. Behera was very caring and friendly. She really showed that she cared and developed a relationship with my spouse and me.

I had unexplained infertility after she performed a Myomectomy. We proceeded to do 2 IUIs with climid and 2 with climid and menopur.

In person, the nursing staff was wonderful. They were compassionate, friendly and built a connection. Their follow through after the fact needs a lot of improvement. They don't always call back when they say they will. It's very hard to get ahold of anyone and it can take several days to get a call back.

I visited the Scottsdale location. It is modern and clean. The staff in person is very friendly and show they care. The wait time is very minimal. When calling you can not reach an actual person, you have to leave a voicemail even to schedule an appointment. It's odd to not ever be able to reach a live person.. It took over a month to get a call back to make my initial appointment. When calling with questions or concerns, it was difficult to get a call back eve though the VM said calls are returned within 1 business day. Most concerns took several calls in order to get a call back. Getting an appointment with Dr Behera is very difficult. It can take weeks if not months even as an existing patient. We were concerned with the failure of our IUI's since there was no change in protocol, and still it took us 2 weeks to get on a "waiting list" that was almost 2 months out...but the minute I said we wanted to do IVF I received a call back the same day offering an appointment with Behera the very next day. It made it seem like the $$$ made me a priority. Most of the appointments and procedures are handled by the nurses or PA's not Behera herself. While they were friendly, we paid for Behera's expertise but didn't get it. Looking back on appointments we often proceeded with "close enough" or "good enough" analysis from the PA's. "good enough" does not result in successful results.

We paid about $600 per IUI not including medication

Millie Behera is the kindest doctor I have ever known to this day. She exudes love and compassion every time we see her, and she is full of hugs. She has a way of sharing information, whether good or bad, that's comforting and supportive. The atmosphere in the building is mirrored after this attitude that she creates. It is apparent that she loves her work and she loves people and wants to do anything in her power to help build families.

My one piece of advice for a future patient of Millie Behera's would be to not be afraid to be honest with her about the emotional challenges in this journey or to cry around her because she is the most loving human being and will support you through it all!

When we first entered Dr. Behera's office, we had already been on a long road finding out my husband had a zero sperm count after cycles of me taking Clomid under a regular OBGYN. We were anxious about getting pregnant and praying simply for some hope that it was possible. Millie listened, validated the emotional struggle we had faced, provided support and answers, and gave us each the warmest hug at the end. We felt refreshed in our journey and ready to pursue our goals! She and her staff were there every step of the way to answer questions and provide emotional support and lots of hugs! We underwent more testing and eventually I underwent three rounds of IUI using a sperm donor, and became pregnant! This pregnancy ended in our daughter passing away after being born prematurely due to an undiagnosed blood clotting disorder I never knew I had. Dr. Behera was extremely supportive when we we told her about this diagnosis, and she encouraged us that there was another option if and when we were ready since I could not carry again - gestational surrogacy. Once we were emotionally ready to take our dreams on again, we met with Dr. Behera who again provided so much love and support in addition to answering our questions and allaying our fears. Dr. Behera and her team worked with us through every single step of gestational surrogacy - from the IVF process to evaluation of surrogates to locating attorneys to the birth. We found a gestational carrier on our own and chose to do everything with their surrogacy coordinator who went above and beyond for us. Each step in the surrogacy journey it's own hurdle to cross and Dr. Behera and her team were with us providing support, encouragement, and answers every step of the way. We now have a beautiful, healthy, almost 2-year-old daughter as a result of the dedication and love they provided to our family for so many years as we tried to build a family. We look forward to adding a sibling to our family by working with Dr. Behera and her team again.

By the time I came to Dr. Behera's office, we knew that my husband did not have sperm. Therefore, it was decided that the first line of treatment we would try would be IUI with a sperm donor. She explained sperm banks in detail and gave us information on how to decide who we might be comfortable choosing as a donor. She already had established relationships with several reputable sperm banks and was very comfortable relaying her knowledge in this area. During the 3 cycles of IUI, I remember taking Femara for days 3-7 of my cycle, an ovulation injection that was timed with my cycle, and progesterone daily following ovulation until my pregnancy tests. We tried this the first two times with the first donor and chose a different donor the third round, and I became pregnant that round. For the second pregnancy with Dr. Behera's office, I underwent IVF to retrieve eggs. I had to take creams, pills, and injectable medications throughout the cycle to get my body ready for the retrieval. I was able to retrieve several eggs, and after PGS, there were 6 healthy embryos! My gestational carrier had to take several medications, creams, pills and injectables throughout her cycle to get her body ready to support the embryo and to keep it growing until it could grow on it's own without the medication support. We were both given very specific calendars by Dr. Behera and her team to help us to know what to take on which days, and this was invaluable!

Tamara was present for all of our ultrasounds and nursing visits. She always asked how we were doing and how we were coping, acknowledged the challenge in the infertility journey, and provided hugs and emotional support and encouragement to us. We will never forget her role in either of our pregnancies!

This clinic is the warmest environment to set foot in. From the front office staff, to the nursing team, to the phlebotomists, and to Dr. Behera, everyone is ready and willing to help you, sensitive to the needs of infertility patients, and honoring of what patients decide to do. The front office staff is friendly and always greets upon arrival. The phlebotomists and nursing staff always make conversation and provide support. And there is always an answer to every question. They are all positive, supportive, and loving, and seem to love what they do.

The costs for both IUI and IVF were extremely reasonable compared to other clinics when we price-compared. Dr. Behera also offers a scholarship for one family once a quarter for patients in greatest need.

Our doctor recommended transferring 1-2 embryos given the quality of the embryos and the use of the gestational carrier. We chose to transfer 2. 1 embryo survived, and for that reason, we are thrilled we did not have to undergo another cycle to try with the 2nd embryo! We also would have been happy with twins, had that happened.

Very warm and heart is very welcoming! A forever smile and always has hugs! She wants what you want and will even listen and answer any questions you have without making you feel like you don’t know or stupid for asking.

Everyone wants to see her! Wait fir new patient is long but well worth it. I waited a month to get into her office and would wait three if I had to do it over again. This process takes time, you can’t rush your dreams!

I wasn’t a number I was really treated like a person that they genuinely cared about

I wanted medicated cycles walking through the door. I was on Clomid initially until it thinned my lining then I went to letrozole. I also used ovidrel to help release all mature eggs. And when I wanted more than one egg to mature we added menopur. The staff listened and didn’t force me to do IVF after 3 failed rounds, they were ok with me doing IUI again.

Kim, Tamara and Holly are my girls! Very nice and very awesome!

Strengths are they return your calls, communication is exceptional and empathy is beyond over the top! I don’t have any weakness to report but I guess one would be they are not in a rush to bill you. The bill comes when it comes. I like to pay well before the bill gets here

Costs for me were great because my insurance was awesome. Ultrasounds were billed at $275 and I would pay $12. Office visit billed at $90 and generally I wouldn’t pay for any of that. Blood draws ranged from $75-95 depending on what they were testing and IUI was fairly cheap for me that I don’t want to post to mislead anyone whose ins didn’t cover like mine

Everyone is triggered at 36 hrs before IUI, and when I wanted to try a cycle that I triggered at 24 hrs instead no one objected. I had control over my treatment. She doesn’t want a high risk pregnancy so she would’ve freaked had I had several eggs mature. But I only had 3

This was the second clinic we visited. The first, Boston IVF, was very negative about my AMA and DOR. Dr. Behera was, realistic, but very positive. She also recommended supplements and procedures that were suspected or proven to help that my peers with failed cycles didn't have (huge list of supplements 3 months prior to retrieval, testosterone gel, HSG, hysteroscopy, trial transfer, steroids to suppress immune system, embryo glue, etc.). The only thing she wasn't familiar with was N-Acetyl Cysteine for loss prevention, but she was fine with me taking it. We researched what she recommended. We didn't want to waste time or risk miscarriage and went along with everything that was recommended.

Be patient with the staff and advocate for yourself. They're human and it's risky for you to rely on them solely for tracking your timeline and getting feedback on adjustments to protocol. You may have to call and ask questions or ask for updates. Just accept this and breathe.

Dr. Behera and staff are very compassionate and considerate.

I needed to stay on top of my timeline and protocol, but they were supportive.

I sought out a reputable female practitioner. The competence of Dr. Behera and NP Tamara are Bloom's main strengths. Not getting a live person when you call or not getting responses quickly are its main weaknesses. I would absolutely recommend Bloom to anyone. After reading many clinic reviews I doubt the responsiveness is any better anywhere else.

IVF (retrieval) package $10900 FET package $3900 Hysteroscopy and trial transfer with endometrial disruption/scratch $950 PGS $1800 for handling Embryo glue $588 Embryo storage $350-500

She left this up to us and didn't recommend multiples. We knew we didn't want multiples so we went with eSET.

Dr Behera is such a kind-hearted person and her compassion really shines through. She is honest and partners with you to reach your goals, which become her goals too! She has such a loving, caring, and nurturing bedside manner.

Don’t be afraid to speak up if something seems off or not on track.

Dr Behera is so caring, loving, and compassionate. She truly provides personalized care. She goes above and beyond to make you feel very special.

My first IVF cycle was an antagonist cycle and revealed poor egg quality. Out of 12 eggs only 4 were mature. Only 1 made it to PGS and came back abnormal. I was 42 at the time. Dr Behera increased doses and added HGH the second cycle. Out of 13 eggs, 11 were mature! 3 made it to PGS that time. 2 were abnormal and 1 is a low level mosaic. We are currently on a third cycle similar to the second round and hoping for a normal. We will transfer any normals we might get one at a time followed by any low level mosaics.

Tamara is so amazing! She is such an awesome provider and shares the same compassionate care Dr Behera has.

Everyone is caring and really partners with the patients. Sometimes it is difficult to reach someone by phone when you are new or before you reach IVF, like during IUIs. Asking a lot of questions and making sure that you’re in the loop is important in the earlier stages.

IUIs are around $1200 if I recall correctly. IVF packages are around $14,000, which includes labs, ultrasounds, retrieval, ICSI, a lot of options, and transfer. Additional services are available. Meds are separate.

Dr Behera will transfer multiples but with my history, she is opting to transfer 1 normal at a time or 2 mosaics at a time. I have another friend that is younger and she will transfer two normals for her. She really does what is best on a case by case basis.

Dr B is insanely sweet. I do wish we could see her more often than just retrieval and consult. We haven’t yet reached transfer but I do believe she wants the absolute best for each patient. I have had a lot of setbacks in my time at Bloom, and I now feel that Dr B knows my situation very well and could make plans for my success really knowing who I was.

Understand you won’t get to see her very often.

Dr B is very genuine and concerned with your progress and mental status (given the difficulty of all this). I had severe OHSS after retrieval and ended up needing to be seen on her days off and she would come in and do whatever was needed.

My retrieval cycle included menopur, follistim, ganirelix and my trigger was Lupron. Lupron was used because I was high risk for OHSS. It did not perform as expected so last minute we added 5000 pregnyl. Egg retrieval was stopped early because eggs weren’t ready. Took the other 5000 pregnyl so had severe OHSS complete with two fluid drains and a hospital stay. Dr B has quite a intricate transfer protocol but I can’t speak to it yet.

Two different nurses provide care, just depending on who is available. I see them for all my ultrasounds. I really love both of them, they’re thorough in explanations and never make me feel rushed or bad for asking questions.

Strengths: wonderful staff. All caring and genuine and remember you. Weakness: they can run late. You don’t get to see Dr B very often. General: it’s a great place. I understand that there are less expensive options in the valley but Bloom does not batch their retrievals and transfers. I like that I’m not a number but they base my care on me.

She always had a calming presence that gave me hope. Even though we haven’t been successful, in each cycle we’ve learned something and made strides towards becoming pregnant. She always was upfront with me about her expectations and how the cycle had went and was very proactive about treatment options. She allowed me to ask as many questions as I needed to feel comfortable with whatever next steps.

I don’t know that I have advice specifically for a patient of Dr. Behera’s, but I would say not to waste too much time on a given course that’s not effective.

She always made sure to console me and ensure that I felt comfortable.

In my latest FET, we did a protocol to treat autoimmune disease and MTHFR mutation. We did many forms of estrogen and progesterone, as well as baby aspirin, lovenox, and lipids infusions.

Tamara was always very compassionate and really seemed as though she wanted it to work for us. She cheered with our triumphs and mourned our defeats, all while being very competent.

I think it can be hard to get in touch with someone unless you’re doing an IVF cycle, as you’d then have an IVF coordinator who’s very available. However, everyone at the clinic is very competent and caring, and I’ve found that if you really want to talk to someone, you can get their attention. Also, as is true of many fertility clinics, you see the nurse and staff much more than the doctor.

Most of my treatment was covered under insurance, but the out of pocket treatments were expensive. The lipid infusions were weekly at $450.

We did both, and the approach was primarily the same.

Infertility sucks. Dr. Behera was always full of so much positivity, especially when we were at our saddest points and had no hope left. When we left our consult, my husband said to me, “This is the first time I feel like we WILL be parents” She will walk you through it all and give you the hope you have lost along the way

Things aren’t always perfect, and don’t go as planned, but Behera will find what makes sense for your body and your treatment. No two patients are given the same plan because she treats us as individuals

My husband and I were always greeted by name when we arrived at the office. Dr. Behera is the most positive Dr and always makes us feel like our dreams of parenthood will come true. Her staff is always kind and will explain every step with us. We are never rushed

I have a very high AMH. I was on low dosage for stims and reacted favorably. We had 17 eggs retrieved! However, only 3 made it to blasts. And after genetic testing, we were left with none. So we had to start at square one. She said I have a high reserve, but maybe the eggs aren’t the healthiest. So I’m taking 27 vitamins a day for 2 cycles to see if that helps. The way she explains everything is very helpful. She told us it’s not time to give up yet.

My IVF coordinator was amazing. She was so prompt at calling me with any news. She would also answer my emails within 20 minuets. I was blown away! She gave me her direct line and always answered as soon as I called. She made me feel like family.

I honestly have nothing but wonderful things to say about this clinic. The first Reproductive encronoligist we went to was awful and Bloom made us forget about that experience. Bloom Reproductive is always so bright and sunny inside. There are coloring pages in the waiting room and the front desk ladies are so kind. The nurse who did all my follicle checks was amazing. She was always smiling and friendly and explained everything to us 100% The billing staff was amazing, too! We knew exactly what we were expected to pay and when!

Fortunately our insurance has a 10k lifetime max for infertility. Everything was billed to our insurance. For our first cycle, we payed 7k out of pocket, but that was for genetic testing and medications. For our second cycle, we were allowed to get our meds from Europe, so we have only spent 2k so far.

Dr. Behera was excellent. I always felt in good hands and that I was getting expert treatment and the most advanced options possible. She was caring and I felt like she was in it with us. I wish we were able to spend more time with her, but I always felt like she was doing the right thing from behind the scenes after our first meeting.

Expect that she will be frank, and that more than likely you are going to end up spending a lot of money. I don't think that is specific to Dr. Behera, but to the infertility process in general. That said, I was thankful that she was as directive as she was. My previous Dr. was not that way, I felt like she knew what we should do and was confident. Even though it was going to be costly it felt like the right thing.

Dr. Behera has excellent bedside manner. She was straight forward, but very caring with her answers to our questions and her diagnosis.

I did two cycles. They includes one up cycle and one down cycle. I took growth hormone in one of the cycles.

Kim Anderson was fantastic. She is a DNP. The care coordinator and blood drawing staff could use some help. The first coordinator I had was an absolute nightmare, the second was much better. Expect that your blood draws will be from people that just started. Nearly every week there was a new nursing assistant that had just learned to draw blood.

Dr. Behera is fantastic. Kim Anderson is the best. The coordinators and nursing assistants can be a bit challenging, but you have to get through it. Stay on top of your own treatment and don't be afraid to call in and get the answer you need. There is a 24 hour nurse line if you need it.

17k for the retrieval

Dr. Behera' warmth & compassion made us feel welcome in her office. She gave us confidence & hope. Dr. Behera is extremely positive. She encouraged our feedback, and it was obvious she listened closely to our concerns.

It's a busy clinic, but the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. There are some days you may feel a little overlooked due to patient volume. However, I was always responded to, even if it required more effort on my end. Continue to ask as many questions as possible, follow up frequently, and you will be well taken care of.

Dr. Behera was warm, inviting, and compassionate. As one who has had children of her own using ART, she understands and empathizes with her patients.

We did 1 FET cycle that ended in early miscarriage. Currently underway with cycle #2. I'm adding acupuncture to this 2nd round, in hopes of increasing our chance of success. Meds: Lupron & PIO injections; Estradiol patches, progesterone & estrogen cream, GCFS wash.

The nurses appeared overwhelmed at times. There were a few administrative & communication errors as a result. However, they all treated us with positivity and encouragement.

This clinic has had great reviews and great results from other patients. My experience so far has been pleasant, although we haven't yet conceived; we started cycle #2 with optimism. Dr. Behera and her staff are warm, inviting, and encouraging throughout the whole process. That is, by far, their greatest strength. The biggest weakness at Bloom is related to volume of patients, and availability of nursing staff. Administrative duties do not get treated with as much importance as I would have hoped, likely as a result of increasing patient quantity.

Round 1: approx. $19,000

Dr. Behera is THE BEST OF THE BEST! She listens to her patients, is caring, compassionate, and passionate about helping her patients become parents. She keeps us informed of everything necessary and is always available to answer our questions. You truly feel like you are part of a family/partner in your care, instead of a patient.

Get your medical records and make an appointment to see her. We wish we would have come to her much sooner.

Dr. Behera listened to all of my concerns. Her treatment prevented a repeat issue of OHSS during our IVF treatment, which had occured with another Dr. during our first ever IVF treatment. They were just as excited as we were when we became pregnant, and were just as upset when we found out our baby had Turner Syndrome, having a 99% chance of miscarriage. When I had bleeding, instead of directing me to a closer Dr., they made time for us to come in and check on our baby. They took ultasounds once a week for 4 weeks. When our baby passed, they were gentle and caring. They were just as devastated as we were. When I was in shock and couldn't believe we had lost her, they let me come in the next day to check...even during the following 2 weeks as I went through my miscarriage naturally. They answered my texts in the middle of the night when I miscarried at home, after midnight, to answer my questions and put me at ease. We had the choice to keep our baby and bury her at home with us. They are extremely encouraging several months later as we are getting ready for our 1st FET with them. The entire staff is warm, welcoming, and truly loving!

We qualified for a clinical study which helped us afford our IVF cycle at a cost which was substantially less than typical. She recognized my previous issue of OHSS from my first IVF cycle with another doctor and had me start and continue at a lower dosage of medication to prevent it from happening again. She saw I had a high prolactin level, began treating it, but also sent me for an MRI which helped diagnose me with a benign tumor on my pituitary gland. She also had me take CoQ10 and baby aspirin during my IVF cycle and now our current FET cycle, which we had never even heard of as something I should have taken. I was told to eat a lot of protein and drink lot of Gatorade for hydration on top of water. I became pregnant for the first time after TTC for 5 1/2 years. Unfortunately, our baby had a chromosomal anomaly and we lost her at nearly 10 weeks, but even that experience was handled amazingly. I was able to go through it naturally and lay our baby to rest at home.

These people are the sweetest ever! They all welcome you with a hug and a smile, giving you time and space in the event of a loss. They were and still are our personal cheer section. We love them!

Their technologies are advanced. They participate in clinical studies that help make treatments affordable. Currently, they have acupuncture available in house. They also accept applications for grants to provide treatments at low to no cost for their patients. The clinic is clean, warm and inviting for all.

As a teacher, I can't leave during the day, so they worked with me to allow me to head over after work. Wait time was minimal for the most part.

The costs are comparable with other clinics in the area.

Dr.Behera was great at explaining our options, listening to what we wanted to accomplish and helping us get there without any pressure. She made us feel like we could do this together. She was honest about the odds and the risks. However, our treatment resulted in triplets and I don't ever recall that being discussed clearly. We did go over the odds being very slim for multiples, I just never thought high order multiples were a real possibility. With that said we are very happy to have our three healthy babies.

Dr.Behera and her staff took the time to answer our questions and valued our time as well

We had the option to do just clomid 10 mg and try and time our sex or do clomid and IUI. Dr. Behera felt since my husband's sperm count was good and nothing was ever found with my fertility issues besides mild endometriosis, I was most likely not ovulating every month. We felt like we had be trying to time sex with ovulation for 2 years and were ready to try IUI and not waste another cycle

Tamara and the nursing staff were wonderful, very patent with us, explaining and answering questions. During the IUI procedure she was very proficient but also helped make us comfortable and at ease. When we thought we were having twins she took the time to review what would happen next and be supportive of our initial shock.

The office staff were great, it was a wait for my first evaluation but then they were very hands on, responding to calls and results fast, the office was very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. They do your blood work, ultasounds, IUI all in the clinic. The billing staff reviewed my benefits and costs right there for us so we could make an informed decision about the plan going forward.

My visit and ultrasounds were covered by my insurance. We paid $550 for the IUI. And I think like $50 for the clomid from a pharmacy and another $100 for the estrogen cream at an apothacary

I go to the sattelite clinic in Gilbert. I mainly see Elizabeth, NP and she closely communicates with Dr B and keeps me updated every step of the way. I have seen Dr B in person 3x now. Both Elizabeth and Dr. B are compassionate, caring and very knowledgable. Even though my eggs are not cooperating and I have not been able to sustain a pregnancy I do noy blame either provider...my body and eggs are to blame. I know that I am in the right place with these providers and would never consider .ovimg to another clinic.

They will tailor the plan to you and your needs. You will never feel like a number.

Elizabeth Shrader NP has held my hand every step of the way. She has personalized my treatment plan to me. She responds to my emails promply and answers all of my questions. Dr Behera listens, never rushes me, hugs me when Im sad or upset, tailors my treatment plan to me and genuinly shows she cares about ME. I was crying prior my egg retrieval...Dr. B held my hand and wipes away my tears until I was sedated.

IUI #1 resulted in a missed abortion. There was a heartbeat, but we lost the baby. I was terrfied of miscarrying again. I was given the option of another IUI or IVF. We chose IVF because my AMH was low and I wanted to improve the odds of not miscarrying again, wanted to be able to do PGS testing to ensure no chromosomal abnormalities, and was hoping to freeze embryos gor future pregnancies. IVF round 1 was cancelled because I ovulated prematurly. IVF round 2 I had 8 follicles, 3 eggs were extracted. ICSI was performed. 1 embryo split into 2 but didnt do anything beyond that. The other 2 never fertilized. I do noy blame my providers for any of this. They have been up front with me about success rates, what to expect for my body, and how to proceed.

The MA Cheryl at the Gilbert clinic is amazing! She took care of everything I asked for help with. She is very sweet and compassionate. I havr had trouble getting reponses from the IVF Nurses and feel a disconnect from them being at the sattelite clinic instead of the big clinic in Scottsdale. I made the NP aware and she has chosen to do most of the communication with me directly to alleviate the gaps.

Strengths: NP and Dr. B are ah-mazing. I have no complaints about them what-so-ever. They communicate well, are brilliant, tailor everything to my needs and body, and are just overall wonderful people. The MA Cheryl is just as amazing! Weaknesses: communication and responses from business office and IVF Nurses is spotty. When I met 1 of the IVF nurses,however, on the day of my retrieval she was very kind and answered all of my questions. She respnded quickly yo my needs post-retrieval with nausea meds, pain meds, warm blankets, etc.

IUI my insurance covered after I met my deductible. IVF was $13,900, PGS $1800 (plus fee to genetic company), EEVA $599, plus cost of meds. Transfer is $3,900...but we have not made it to this step. We are in the process of considering egg donor which is $14,500 for 8 eggs or $12,500 for 6 eggs plus $3900 for transfer

I love Dr. Behera and trust her ability to get me pregnant. Her bedside manner is unlike any I've ever seen and she's always willing to answer any questions I have.

It can be a wait to get on her calendar. Typically when she tells her staff to schedule a follow up around X date you can add 2-3 weeks before the staff finds an appointment slot for you.

Dr. Behera and her entire staff are all fabulous. At my initial consult I brought a pregnant friend (I'm single) who was a past patient of hers (who went to a different clinic for reasons unrelated to Dr. Behera's care). At my follow up with Dr. Behera over two months later she asked me how my friend was doing by name. That's just one example of how they make you feel like you're family.

I'm single, attempting to have a chip on my own using frozen donor sperm. She did blood work and HSG and I think and SHG to make sure all was normal. Once the results were in she gave me the choice of starting with a natural cycle or clomid, talking me through the risks of clomid. She was understanding and supportive of my choice to start my first cycle with clomid and a trigger shot. In her office the IUI is performed by one of her NUrse Practitioners. On day 3 and 10 they do an ultrasound to first confirm there are no cysts and then check readiness size & number. Clomid was given days 3-7 (50mg the first cycle, 100mg the second). I triggered with Ovidrel and IUI was exactly 36 hours later. After IUI cream progesterone was used vaginally with a blood check on day 6 to check progesterone. I'm still in the two week wait of my 2nd IUI.

The staff is all friendly, helpful and VERY competent. The entire staff is very organized and in all cases next steps are provided before you could even need to ask.

If my second cycle fails I will have questions about medicine protocols. I've heard from peers that there are alternatives to clomid with lower risk of multiples but better egg quality. I didn't know to ask about them before and am not sure if those are options for me. Every RE is trying to make their own recipe for success so maybe Dr. Behera believes clomid is crucial in that recipe, but I just want to know if there are other options.

I have very good insurance so can't really speak to this.

Dr. Bahera is knowledgeable, compassionate, gentle, kind, smart, and great communicator. She gave me a sense of ease during my treatment. She was the doctor I needed during a very difficult time in my life.

Trust Dr. Bahera and her staff to help formulate a plan that works best for you and your family.

Dr. Bahera always gave me a sense of peace while in her care. I went through 5 unsuccessful IUI’s with Dr. Bahera and her office. I was beginning to lose hope of ever being able to have my own child. Dr. Bahera always gave me a sense of hope and a sense of calmness. She held my hand on multiple occasions. I never told her what a dark place our struggles with conceiving had put me in. It’s like she knew just what I needed. Compassion, along with her expertise. I trusted Dr. Bahera 💯! With God and the help of Dr. Behera, Tamera and Riley we have a beautiful baby girl! We are getting ready to to do another fresh embryo transfer and their is no one else I would want to do it with!! I can say with confidence and ease that Dr. Bahera and her staff is worth putting your trust in!

I don’t remember many specifics of my treatment plans. We did 5 cycles of IUI using Clomid and femora. Progesterone and estrogen suppositories along with estrogen patches. We did trigger shots prior to issemination. During our IVF cycle we used above creams, patches, daily progesterone injections, daily aspirin, BID COQ10, daily steroids. I’m forgetting a lot!

My IVF nurse assigned to me was a breath of fresh air. She was patient with me. Answered all my questions to the best of her ability and if she didn’t have an answer she would get one for me. Riley always got back to me in a timely manner. She was compassionate and knowledgeable.

Office is clean and in good condition. Overall I would say the office runs smoothly. Employees always looked and talked professionally and they all seem happy at their job. Friendly faces with enthusiasm to be working for a great cause!

If I remember correctly IUI cycle was around $2,000 plus medications and IVF was around $13,500 plus medications.

Dr. Bahera really cares about safety of her patient and safety of pregnancy and baby so she takes a more careful approach. I think 2 embryos is the most she will transfer for this reason. Also during IUI’s if ever over stimulated with multiple follicles she would cancel for that month. I really value her staying strong to these numbers. Multiples pose higher risk to mother and babies. Not to mention what it takes to care for multiples.

De Behera was wonderful. She was so so passionate. She listened but was realistic with us. She always made us feel well informed and heard. She explained everything in detail and simply just made us feel good.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. The staff is knowledgeable and will help.

The staff was incredible. They spent quite a bit of face to face time answering questions and guiding us through how to use the medications. They were always available by phone or email. My appointments were scheduled at times that were good for me. They were always warm, kind, and understanding.

Treatment strategies: We did an egg retrieval cycle. I had to have the procedure to check for polops prior. We did a fresh transfer which resulted in a 7 week miscarriage. Then we did a frozen embryo cycle with a donor egg and my last frozen embryo. Protocols: I’m thinking this is referring to the medicine schedules. I had a chart that told me when to take what. I remember there were quite a few pills, baby aspirin, vitamins, Lupron, Gonal, Menopur, etc. we did a Trigger shot too for the initial cycle. Rationale: we skipped IUI because of my previous miscarriages and my age. We tried to get healthy eggs throufh the egg retrieval process. We froze three embryos. We ended up having one frozen embryo and 2 donor embryos transferred on my last attempt. We went bold. I actually had four babies, but two were in the same sac and around 8 weeks, there were no longer heart beats. We have twins now.

They were nothing but incredible. From the nurses who took blood every other day all the way up To Tamara. Everyone was caring and compassionate. They knew me by name when I arrived and were always willing to help.

The front desk lady, Ashley was kind and discrete. The strengths of the whole clinic were the kindness of the whole staff, the knowledge very person had, and the quick response to my questions. The weaknesses would be that they didn’t have an acupuncturist on staff. I needed to go to another offi e for that service.

I don’t specifically remember.

We transferred two on the first attempt and I wAs pregnant with one baby biut miscarried. On the second attempt, we transferred 3 to be bold. It was our last shot.

She is very caring and understanding & explains treatment plan in depth. She individually tailors a plan based on each person's situation. She let me set my own pace, but gave recommendations if I asked (ex: do IUI again or go to IVF)

She's great - try and get on her schedule ASAP.

All doctors and nurses are very caring and get back to you if you have questions almost immediately.

3 timed intercourse, 1 IUI, in the process of IVF

Very caring, knew my case and didn't make me feel just like a number.

No weaknesses. Prompt to return calls, great environment, typically don't wait long than 10 minutes. I would want a new patient to know IVF takes much longer than you expect. I started back in November and probably wont transfer until April. Don't hesitate to ask questions.

Including medications we have spent close to $40,000 (including meds).

She is a very kind person and really listens to your concerns and tailors your treatment for you individually. She is very compassionate and always asks how you are feeling anytime she sees you in the office.

She's great!

Dr. Behera and every member of her staff make you feel very cares for and treat you will compassion.

I am so happy with every one of the nurses in this office. I mostly have appointments with Lisa or Tamara. They are both very kind and knowledgeable. They always listen to my concerns and take them seriously. I recently asked to try a new medication and asked about having surgery and Tamara made me feel like she really cared about me and my concerns.

I love the clinic in general. Sometimes it is a little hard to get through, but I ALWAYS get a call back pretty quickly.

I feel the costs are very fair and reasonable. Around $600 for IUI with semen wash included. Most of the other costs have been covered by my insurance. (ultrasounds, bloodwork, HSG, SHG. )

Kind, compassionate, knowledgeable. She truly exceeded my expectations! As a nurse, I've worked with good, bad and indifferent physicians. Dr. Behera is not only knowledgeable about infertility, she has outstanding bedside manor. It's hard to find a physician that has both qualities!

Go in with an open mind! Be willing to hear your options. Be flexible, not all treatment plans work for every patient! Dr. Behera is really good about making individual treatment plans for each patient

She created an individual treatment plan for me according to my wishes

She has a very nice approach, very soft and caring. Warm and takes the time to explain what’s going on, never felt rushed.Soft approach and even hugged us as we met. Truly don’t have anything bad to say about her as a doctor.

Most the time you’re dealing with the staff and the staff are into warm the way the doctor is. There seems to be a disconnect between the staff and the doctor

Dr. Bagheera has a very soft touch and truly does act like she cares.

I don’t recall

Hard to reach and poor communicators. It’s the reason why we left the clinic

The strain does the doctor she truly seems that she cares. But, it’s very hard to get through to her. Most the time you’re talking with staff and you just feel like a number. They are hard to reach and they don’t respond to calls in a timely manner

Can’t recall

We never made it that far with her. We did two treatments for egg retrieval us and both were canceled due to minimal eggs seen during ultrasound
