2010 - 2015, Unsuccessful
Dr. Brezina is very compassionate but also honest...He shares his own fertility struggles and that commonality gave me peace. He took the time to answer all our questions. The only “weakness” that I would say is that I wish I would have had some more detailed explanations along the way (meaning during my treatment)...We did use the agonist cycle...I only had 2 embryos available to transfer. However, we had agreed that even if I had more embryos we were not transferring more than 2.
I really liked that the doctors work together to consult one another [at Kutteh Ke Fertility Associates]. In particular, they met together to review my failed IVF and “brainstorm” what went wrong and what to do again. I do wish that this was done before my treatment but I think I only feel that way because we had a failed cycle...The nurses could be harsh at times and borderline unprofessional. However, I know that they have replaced the nurse that was working there.
