Paul Magarelli

Paul magarelli is very kind and supportive. He always explained everything in a way that is easy to understand. He can be a little pushy when it comes to IVF/FET and doesn't seem to like when you question some procedure. But at the end he is understanding and respectful of the decisions you make. For example, I wanted to do TI with injections in between transfers and he completely understood my reasoning behind this decision. He is trustworthy and makes you feel comfortable and safe.

Don't feel afraid to ask questions. This is a very difficult and most of the time overwhelming journey but don't be afraid... And you are not alone :)

I felt mostly like a human. They are caring and a very big support. They were amazing when husband was deployed and I was doing the transfers by myself. But also I feel like a number when they forget to call me with results or when I need to remind them things that they should not forget... Also feel like a number when they plan transfer for only 2-3 days of the month and everybody's body needs to adapt to the same schedule.

Gonal F: for Egg retrieval I think it was 75 units and then 150 units until I had enough mature eggs. I was on OHSS precautions because I had to many follicles. For TI with injections I was taking 150 units of Gonal F and they cancelled my cycle because there were to many mature eggs. Progesterone IM taken I believe a week before each transfer and supposed to take it until 12 weeks of pregnancy.

They are Amazing... I love them!! They are trustworthy and kind. They always have something sweet and nice to say.

They are great at monitoring FETs They are not so good monitoring when I comes to TI with injections They work with you and your specific need, but they are pushy toward IVF/FETs They are compassionate and caring. Definitely a strength is the people that works there.

They usually work with my schedule and are great at having available dates for monitoring. And if it is an emergency, like when I was having a miscarriage they see me ASAP.

I believe it was $8500 for IVF, included one FET plus medication. Gonal F is expensive but we applied for compassionate Care for Military, so we paid like an extra $2500. And $1850 for each transfer after that.

I liked his approach when it comes to eSET... We transferred one the 1st time and 2 embryos the 2nd and 3rd time that we did FETs.

Dr. Magarelli is a well educated and experienced physician. It shows when he explains what is happening and what will happen. Although seems to be a little high strung, we felt he was more than competent to complete our process. We have the upmost confidence in what he does.

Don't be afraid to ask questions, although what he is saying makes sense to him, it may not make sense to you. Come with questions wrote down and don't be afraid to ask away. He talks quick, but ask him to help you better understand.

I thought he was very good, but he is has a PhD and Doctorate- My husband and I needed a little more laymans terms and time to completely understand. He took the time, although we did feel as we were a little inconveniencing him.

Nurse Carla I do without speaking to again. She did not take the time to explain what was going on, when I asked something she repeated what she had already said. She did not take the time to read my chart and proceeds to tell me what testing my husband needs to do, when all the while the reason we are there is because he is sterile. I felt she was very unknowledgeable and unprofessional. At one point I asked if 1 procedure and physician visit could be combined so that we didn't have to make 2 trips out of town- she told me no there are people who drive from other states to do different visits I could too. I though this was RUDE and completely unprofessional for a clinic of this nature. Amanda was my care coordinator- She along the rest of the staff has always been great, more than helpful. She takes the time to explain things and answers questions sometimes late in the evenings. It shows she takes pride in what she does.

Clinic is very nice, clean, staff is welcoming. Lots of fertility information available for reading around the clinic. They are prompt are professional. I think anyone that goes will feel the same way.

$8900 - Cycle fee w/screening for PGS $3500 - Added fee for PGD screening for up to 8 embryos at one time $400 - Anesthesia $12,800 - Total Cycle Fee, plus medications

Dr. Magarelli is blunt and to the point of what is going on with each individual. I feel like I was rushed with my questions and didn't get the full answer. This is during his clinic time. During the retrieval and transfer he was much more compassionate and excited for you.

Do your research and be your own advocate.

Dr. Magarelli himself is a nice guy but blunt and to the point. I only saw him if something was concerning and the day of the retrieval.

I don't remember that medication protocol that I used. It was actually different each cycle as one of the medications was discontinued. I started off with Menopur (2 vials) and Gonal-F (150) with my last cycle. My eggs tend to grow slowly then all of a sudden catch up. I was up to either 4 or 5 bottles of Menopur by the end. Both retrievals I've had they got 24-26 eggs so I got OHSS and had to eat a ton of protein. The Menopur was an IM injection by the way. The first time around I used Lupron at first then Menopur and Braville. I got my baby boy out of that one:)

Jennifer his MA is very sweet and compassionate. She would always have a smile on your face and was pleasant to be around. I always relaxed a little more when she was around. The rest of the nursing staff seemed like they were there just for a job.

This clinic needs to work on their communication. It takes a while (days or sometimes not at all) for them to respond to a question. With that in mind you as a patient needs to be persistent and advocate for yourself.

The best part about this clinic is the price. This last cycle we did was $6,300 not including medications but everything else even the transfer was included. It was an additional cost for PGS testing which we opted out of.

Dr. Magarelli actually suggested we use both embryos for transfer due to the poor quality. We did transfer two in both cycles.

Dr. Magarelli is not the warmest, fuzziest best friend kind of Dr, however he was frank when you had the chance to talk to him. He did seem to care about being honest and helping you to acheive pregnancy. Dr. Magarelli was out of town for a little bit during our treatment. We also did not know he would not be doing our egg retrieval until the morning of. So things weren't communicated well in that regard. However, they did provide me with Dr Magarelli's cell phone if I ever had a question.

Stay on top of things, be your own advocate to make sure you are persistent on making sure your care gets priority and bring copies of all of your paperwork every visit as their system to digital only was not working well at all. Don't be intimidated by a Dr.'s personality and speak up if you need to-ask questions even if you feel stupid at the time.

It did seem like there was care and concern from staff, but still got lost in the mix of disorganization of the clinic and paperwork.

Everything was mostly digitally on "the portal", but it did have it's problems. I know it was a new system for them so they were trying to work out the kinks, but at best it was really mainly used for email messages back and forth for lab results, increase meds, etc. I do feel like they did tailor my treatment to my body and not to a 10 day or 12 day, etc. They extended it as needed based on response or adjusted meds as needed. I was on Lupron, Menopur, Gonal F protocol and they increased meds as needed. They did strongly encourage acupuncture (his wife is an acupuncturist) and also encourage healthy diet and vitamin protocols, which was good.

We did see different nurses most of the time. Carla was super sweet and compassionate in her care. Chasity was very compassionate and helpful as well. They did try to be available, but paperwork seemed to be an issue often. Also, calls would come from the New Mexico sister clinic too. Again, I think some of this was major change going on in the clinic and also a transition to digital/portal.

There were a lot of changes going on with people at the time. They were also working out kinks with a digital/portal system. Paperwork not being there or not knowing I had tests done previous-which were sent there already they couldn't find, etc. That was a bit challenging. They had many wonderful office staff there to listen and answer questions. Amanda was superb! Christina was as well. The lab staff was great too. They really did try to help us achieve pregnancy with live birth. Weaknesses-staff inconsistency, paperwork chaos, digital portal not working. Strengths-seemed to truly care, tailored treatment to my body, not a generalization.

It is HQA fertility center. High Quality Affordable Care. They reduce the cost to make it more affordable for anyone to have a baby. This is not the exact number but like $9200 or so and this include PGS testing, but not medication costs or any other MFI procedures.

There motto is one healthy baby, but they did encourage to transfer the only 2 PGS tested embryos we had. We did trust the medical advice they gave.

I feel as though I was very naive in the beginning of treatment and was too trusting. This doctor used a form to explain how everything worked during the consultation. It showed the normal course of stimulation and also gave some percentages of success if you did genetic testing and if you didn't. I don't feel that he explained that you may not even have embryos to try implantation with and in that case it doesn't even matter what the percentages are. He was friendly the first time we met him for the consultation and seemed to think IVF would work great for us since we only had MFI. I had him one time to do my transvaginal ultrasound since the lady who usually did it at my other appointments was on maternity leave. He seemed to do it differently and got way different information than the other lady did. After we got our genetic testing on our two embryos back he became cold and made it sound normal. We went in to go over what happened and what the next steps are. He was rude and didn't answer our questions. Of course we wanted to know what had happened and what we would do next. He just told us that percentage wise it was normal that we didn't get any normal embryos. He said we need to start again next month and that we wouldn't do anything different. Why would I do the same thing again with no changes and hope for a different outcome? There was no compassion and no answers. We felt defeated and he made us feel like failures.

I would advise a prospective patient to do all your research ahead of time and find out what will happen in the worst case scenario. What will he do different if treatment fails?

There were several times that the nurse came into the exam room during my stims and called me by the wrong name or had the wrong chart, etc. It was as if they didn't know or care who you were when there. All they cared about is that they had another couple paying them. I checked into the front desk and printed my name out each time. I feel like there should not have been a mix up with who was there for an appointment. The nurse would laugh as if it was a joke when it happened. When things didn't work out and both of our embryos came back as abnormal after genetic testing we were just told okay lets do it again. There was no explanation, answers or support. They were ready to cash another check and said they wouldn't do anything different the next time.

The protocol I was put on was Gonal F, Lupron and low dose HCG. I believe I was put on this protocol because we were only dealing with male factor and the doctor did not want to stimulate me too much. During the stims I only produced about 17 follicles and they weren't growing quick enough at one point. They increased the Gonal F at some point during the stims. I only ended up with 9 eggs retrieved and only 2 embryos in the end that were genetically abnormal.

I only saw one nurse while I was in treatment at this clinic. I believe she was newer to the clinic. She is the one who would come in the room and call me the wrong name and realize she had the wrong person. She would laugh when she couldn't find the follicles during the transvaginal ultrasound. She was very unprofessional. The other times I was there I had a radiology tech who was very nice and had IVF done herself. Unfortunately, I only had her a few times before she left to have her baby. I could tell that she understood the heartbreak and emotions that came along with IVF.

The clinic staff is nice when you go in for a consultation. As soon as you commit to treatment you are really just a number. They don't remember who you are or what you are having done. When you go in for an appointment be ready to wait for a while after your scheduled time. The clinic does not have up to date equipment. Everything seems a bit dated. Don't expect them to call with results when they say they will. You are waiting patiently for important results but they will forget about you. I had to call well after I was supposed to get my results from IVF. They have no compassion and will just tell you to try again with no explanation. Do your research before you go to this clinic.

Every little thing cost more. We paid for genetic testing and anesthesia. We paid for the IVF package and extra for all of the medications.

I'm not sure where to even begin.. From the beginning I didn't have a great gut feeling about Dr. Magarelli, but I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and move forward as a patient of his (we were referred to him by Tricare, so our options were a bit limited). He put on a really good show at our first appointment, telling us that he would most certainly help us have "one healthy baby" - his motto. We felt hopeful that this would be the case. However, our first cycle ended with two abnormal embryos. Dr. Magarelli was less than compassionate when giving me this news, and even went as far as to get upset with me for not saying anything (I was in shock and very upset). Despite this happening, Dr. Magarelli assured us that changing my medication protocol would yield better results, so we moved forward with a second cycle. This cycle resulted in zero embryos. When Dr. Magarelli called to give me this news (I was expecting it by this time and had already started seeking a second opinion), he was joking about how he had a cold and didn't feel good.. as if that was appropriate. When I told him we'd be looking for another doctor his response was, "Sounds great, good luck!", and I never heard from him again.

Run in the other direction. Seriously. He might be the cheapest in town, but you get what you pay for.

My husband and I felt as if we were just a number due to the fact that on multiple occasions Dr. Magarelli couldn't remember our names (we had been seeing him for several months by this point), and the fact that he was so quick to push IVF rather than discussing other options. After we decided to move forward with IVF, we didn't see Dr. Magarelli until the morning of the egg retrieval - he wasn't at any of the numerous visits in between.

My first IVF cycle began with birth control for a few weeks, followed by Lupron, and then Gonal-F & Low Dose HCG. I was on 10 units of Lupron, 10 units of Low Dose HCG, and 75 IU's of Gonal-F morning and night. I was on a very low dose due to the fact that I have no known issues, and responded very well to it. After my retrieval however, it was clear that I had hyper-stimulated even with the low doses. We retrieved 18 eggs, 10 mature, 5 fertilized, and 2 made it to freeze. Those 2 were chromosomally abnormal. For my second cycle I was again on birth control, followed by Lupron, and then Menopur. I was on 10 units of Lupron and started out at one vial of Menopur a day. After a few days and no response, my dose of Menopur was upped to 4 vials per day. I injected the Menopur intramuscularly, for a reason that I still don't know. This cycle we retrieved only 4 eggs, 2 mature, 2 fertilized, and 0 making it to freeze. Dr. Magarelli believes that I ovulated on my own prior to the retrieval.

The nursing staff changed quite a bit throughout the 9 months that we were at the clinic. Most of them were friendly and helpful, but others not as much. However, one of the nurses that drew blood on a regular basis (I can't remember her name) was amazing. She was one of the few reasons that I felt comfortable going through another cycle with them.

In the beginning, the clinic was very hard to get a hold of in order to schedule tests. I would call repeatedly and get no answer, or it would take them several days to call me back. I often had to wait until my next cycle to do the tests because they didn't get back to me in time to schedule them. After we paid for our first IVF cycle, they were a bit more attentive. However, they always said the patient portal was the best method of contact, but I rarely got answers in a timely manner, if at all. I will say though, the clinics financial coordinator is amazing. She always responded promptly to emails and answered any questions I had about the finances.

Initally, Dr. Magarelli charged $7500 for IVF w/ ICSI, plus $400 for anesthesia, plus medications. They provided a $500 military discount, but required the payment in full before the start of the cycle. However, just before our first cycle began, they lowered the price to $4500, plus $400 for anesthesia, plus medications. At this time they didn't offer us the military discount. There was also a $1000 fee for the embryo biopsy each cycle.

Due to my age Dr. Magarelli highly recommended that we only transfer one embryo, however, we never made it to that phase with him.

Magarelli was the friendliest RE we have come across. My husband and I were treated like dollar signs at every clinic we went to except Magarelli's, who went out of his way to make sure we felt comfortable and treated like we were visiting an old friend. We knew what to expect at every appointment, and he talked to us like we were equals. I love his sense of humor and ability to make us laugh even though we were beyond stressed and anxious. Every time I walked away from the clinic, I felt excited and positive.

Give him a chance. I do not understand why there are any negative reviews of him. We felt so taken care of and respected by him, and he made us feel so at ease. He explained everything to us in detail and why our protocol made sense, but I encourage all new patients of any RE to make sure you ask the right questions from the start (research important questions to ask your RE), and you won't leave with unrealistic expectations.

Every time I was in the office, I was greeted warmly and everyone always remembered me by name. Magarelli always came into the room with a huge smile, jokes, and a positive attitude, and remembered our situation clearly, as though we were his friend.

Magarelli decided a freeze all cycle with PGS would help us after 8 years of TTC with no results. With PGS, we were able to determine that we had a chromosome abnormality when my husbands sperm met my eggs, and this could not be tested by any other kind of genetics blood test. We did BCP, egg retrieval, sent off our embryos to be tested, and then did a transfer one month later, with a positive pregnancy test in the end.

The nursing staff always answered my questions and remembered me by name. I knew this wasn't just from looking at a chart because they would pass me in the hall or happen to see me in the lobby and say hello by name with a smile. If I had any questions and called in, I always received a call back same day.

The clinic was clean and organized. The team seemed like a well oiled machine. The embryologist often did my blood draws and chatted with us like we were best friends.

Exactly as described. 8k for IVF, unlimited FET's, egg retrievel, egg transfer, ICSI, PGS testing for 8 embryos. About 4k for medications.

This office is run like a factory, it is not at all individualized. Not everyone has the same cycle or length of cycle, so if you do not fit into their schedule they will cancle your IVF cycle. You never see the doctor and the physicians assistant is incredibly rude and very difficult to deal with, especially when you are on significant hormones and she is nasty to you. I had to have my husband come to all my appointments on our second cycle after I started injections because I was tired of leaving in tears. They convinced me to buy medicine that I didn't need, and so many of my follicles ended up being over mature and useless, I went to 3 different physicians after leaving Dr Magerelli and they all told me that its very probable that they were not monitoring me the way they should have been. The number of eggs retrieved and the number that ended up fertilized was most likely the result of a very poor lab and uneducated staff/techs. The lab and procedure area do not seem like they are at all professional, I remember thinking "this can't be sanitary" quite a few times. I will agree with the last poster, they will sometimes tell you to continue with medicine, you aren't even on, they have no clue what is going on and it's scary to think they might be telling me the wrong thing. I missed a call once and they didn't specify which medication or what dose and didn't return my call till the following day at noon, I spent my evening guessing on what they could have meant, it's an unorganized disaster. Do yourself a favor, take out the loans, wait and save, do whatever you have to do, but avoid this place at all cost. Trust me, you will end up spending WAY more than they say it costs, its definatly a bait and switch. The price is a lie and it's a very dishonest office.

Find a different doctor...one who is honest about their success rates!

It felt like a fertility "mill" it was more like a factory than anything, you had to be on their schedule or they would cancle your cycle....nothing was based on Your body, it was based on their calendar of when they were doing retrievals or transfers. It's heartbreaking to have a cycle cancled because you didn't meet "their" deadline

The physicians assistant is horrible. Some of the nurses are nice, but very confused and overworked. They have no clue what is going on and it seems like a guessing game on what they are going to tell you to do...

The nurses are overworked, and it's obvious by attitude and amount of confusion they demonstrate. You will meet with the doctor once or twice, and your care will be determined by the nurses and physicians assistant. Scheduling is a nightmare, and they consistently run late, so don't expect to leave within a reasonable amount of time. They implemented a new patient portal, which they say makes communication faster, and it does the exact opposite, makes it longer!

It cost nearly 12k, they make you feel like you NEED to do CCS, and if you don't your cycle will probably fail. So the $4500 price is absolutely not true at all, and is VERY deceptive

Dr. Magarelli goes above and beyond to break the whole process out to where us as the patients can comprehend it. He shows passion and exceeds at his work. It has been a very trying time for us, and Dr. Magarelli treats us like a family member.

That he is great at what he does, and he will go above and beyond to help you receive your dream of becoming a parent.

I felt really comfortable, and the doctor was very considerate and explained the whole process from beginning to end. We have felt like we have known not only the doctor, but the whole staff our whole life. This process has been very difficult for us, and with a great staff and environment, we feel very moved and loved.

I can not really remember off hand.

Great and knowledgeable staff who care for the patients. They make the Dr office a great and comfortable atmosphere. If you have questions, they will answer them thoroughly, and if they don't know the answer they will make sure they find out and let you know.

This clinic is absolutely amazing. They take pride in their work. They treat us and I am sure every other patient like family. They break down the process step by step. Their hearts are warm and open for us, right when we walk in the door.

Medication is around 500 dollars. Transfer sperm from bank is 200 dollars. FAP genetic testing is 3,500 dollars. The cost of IVF is around 14,000 dollars. The total cost for us is about 18,000 dollars.

We have not been through a whole cycle yet, but he seems to be knowledgeable in the field of infertility. He is confident and warm when talking to his patients. Even though he is a very busy man, he does take the time to say hi even though you’re only seeing the nurse that day. He answered every one of our questions and explained how his process worked. He also explained how he is able to make IVF affordable for his patients.

He is a very knowledgeable doctor so follow his lead on what he believes is best for your case.

With this clinic being one of the fastest growing, you can sometimes get lost in the shuffle. Sometimes too many patients can lead to some miscommunication.

I have not been through a full cycle yet with Dr. Mag, however, I am on short protocol to begin the cycle. My ovarian reserve is great, so there should be no issues getting a decent amount of eggs.

The nursing staff has been competent so far. However, you have to stay on your toes and make sure to ask the right questions.

The clinic is extremely affordable compared to the local alternatives. The nurses are great with blood draws and ultrasounds, always make you feel comfortable. The metro location is not available for most appointments, which is disappointing. They have been off on their estimates on other services rendered, like medications.

$9,300 for full cycle ER, and one transfer, PGS testing. This does not include medications.

He lets you decide. Dr. Mag only does Frozen Embryo Transfers though.

I felt like he was knowledgeable about everything. Many of my questions were met with a quick response with several levels of detail. Sometimes I felt like the information was going to be impossible to retain, but once I got started with treatment, I caught on soon.

He seems like he really wants to help you.

I had so many questions during treatment, but everyone was answered, and each person provided us with support – medically and emotionally.

The staff were comforting and knowledgeable from the start and helped us feel ready to proceed with IVF. The nurse was very encouraging and funny. Sometimes she seemed very busy and I feel like she wished she could have spent more time with me. I'm thankful for her care and her staffs care.

Extremely welcoming and warm staff. They really want to help you and will do everything to make you feel comfortable. They are full of energy, so be prepared for that. I feel like they could benefit from having a larger staff. Sometimes I would see one person doing so many tasks.

I was very nervous and apprehensive in the beginning but was reassured and had all of my questions answered. I was walked through my options and they made sure I was informed throughout my treatment. it was like having my own cheer leading squad.

He's an energy ball. Don't be put off by it. He really wants to help.

I was greeted with encouragement and positivity every visit, starting with my first.

Had to take some stimulation meds which made me ovulate more. After that, I had an egg retrieval. They inseminated the eggs to make 4 embryos. 3 were healthy.

They were very encouraging and genuinely cared about my pregnancy.

I really needed the strong support and encouragement through all of this. The clinic took extra initiative to make sure I was comfortable and understood what was going on. Sometimes, they seemed a little unorganized with knowing who was supposed to see me next. But that could just be that they had some new people working there.

The costs were great. I didn't realize how much more money other clinics were charging for the same level of care.

He is a very straight forward doctor and some might interpret him as rude but he's just honest. He told me my chances of conceiving at the beginning of the process and didn't sugar coat anything. He did not do any of my monitoring scans except the last one but I felt like I could talk to him if needed, as he was always in the office. He did my egg retrieval but the other doctor he works with did my transfer, though he was in the room. I think he's a great doctor who has a lot of knowledge and experience to offer.

Have tough skin

The doctor was great but sometimes it seemed like there was a lack of communication between me and the office. I think because they have so many patients.

They were very nice overall but were slow to respond on the clinics patient portal.

They do thorough testing of both partners. I did not always get my test results however, and didn't know what certain things meant. They do a class before you start your cycle that was helpful. In the class they go over the different medications and how/where to inject. The office itself is very clean.

The cycle itself was $5900 I believe and medications were about another $3000

We did not have our embryos genetically tested. Because of that he agreed to let us transfer two.

A lot of people say that he pushes IVF and most of the time there is something "wrong" with the husband's sperm. I didn't feel like he pushed anything. But at the same time, I did feel like IVF was the area he was most knowledgeable in. He won't talk money with you, if you have questions about finances or how to pay he will direct you to his other staff. Mostly my experience has been pleasant.

His bedside manner isn't the greatest. He does have a "know-it" all attitude, but don't take it personally. Wouldn't you want a doctor who is confident in what he does?

He is a very knowledge doctor. I understand that he has many patients, but I felt that he didn't take enough notes because he did not remember things we had talked about before. But once I reminded him of things, he seemed to go with the flow and answer most of the questions I had.

Very nice and communicates very well.

Strength - Communicates very well when portal works. Appointments are always available. Weakness - Portal (only way of communication) is constantly down. If you work, plan to take off a lot and wait a couple hours for an an appointment.

8,900 for IVF with ICIS and genetic testing, $400 for anesthesia, meds vary by age

We were told that we would have an opinion on how many were transferred. But his goal is One Happy Healthy Baby.

He's straight to the point and doesn't beat around the bush. He cares about how you feel but never baby's you. I appreciated the quick responses he had for the questions I couldn't get answers to from other clinincs.

He'll tell you like it is and won't b.s. you.

Dr. Magarelli took the time to understand our frustration with other clinics, and made sure we didn't experience those same things.

Like Dr. Mag, she was knowledgeable and also did not baby us. She told us exactly what we needed to do and when we needed to do it. She has a wealth of information about medications and procedures. I had all of my questions answered.

Clinic team is friendly and supportive. Only thing I would ask is to have the information relayed to us as early as possible. The portal worked well for us, but sometimes I felt like the clinic team was so busy and I would get info back later than what I wanted.

Our IUI treatment was covered by insurance mostly, but it was only $750.

HQA Fertility as provided us with the help we needed to have our chance at pregnancy we wouldn’t otherwise have had. It has been a difficult journey and Dr. Magarelli and his wonderful, caring and supportive team have shown us nothing but care and enthusiastic support all along the way.

Bring a book to the waiting room. It is a small place and see's many patients who sometimes take a while.

He delayed another meeting that he had to make sure that my husband and I felt comfortable with the information and understood everything.

I was always speaking with someone. Not sure if all of them were nurses but their medical staff seemed to really care about me.

They have been compassionate and caring this whole time. I feel very welcome here. There seems to be a lot of different roles that go into this and I see many new faces each visit. Maybe they could be a little clearer on wait times.

cheaper than any other clinic we researched

I am getting ready for my 1st retrieval and right now in the process I am very happy with the level of communication, responsiveness and the treatment plan. My first appointment put me at ease and I felt I could ask any question and not be judged. I felt comfortable and that's been important.

Give the clinic and Dr. Magarelli a chance to impress you.

So far it's been a great experience and he listened and understanding. He answered all my questions and showed compassion.

Strengths it's affordable fertility clinic and they trulybwabt you to get pregnant. It's a more boutique experience, small and personal. Weakness it's in Colorado Springs which is a trek from Denver.

It was a package and everything cost $9300. Meds were $5500. No hidden costs at all. It was great.

Every time we left his office we felt ready to continue this incredible journey. The following appointments were never a disappointment – all the staff has been very supportive and friendly. HQA fertility offers an online portal that is very helpful and useful. Nurses and staff are very prompt in responding to your questions or concerns.

He is compassionate but be prepared to hear answers you maybe were not expecting about yourself

He made us feel that we had a chance for conception after a few years of trying to conceive.

She was very nice and educational. Also told you information bluntly which I appreciated.

They are a very nice team. Sometimes you have to wait longer than you might have wanted, but I think that's ok. When I saw the team I always felt comfortable and welcome. I liked the online portal that they had. I got to ask questions at home and get instructions for taking my medication.

The costs were less than everywhere else that we looked. $8,900 for full IVF

Dr Magarelli took his time to explain all information and I felt he was trustworthy from the beginning when I first met him. He answered all questions my husband and I had and always showed compassion and understanding.

Be patient, this whole process takes time.

I was always treated respectfully and appreciated the way he was upfront and honest about everything.

I do not remember specifics of protocols

The nursing staff was all very professional, supportive, informative and positive.

The clinic’s staff are all very positive and informative. Getting a return phone call was sometimes difficult. I would often times be waiting for a return call that I thought was time sensitive due to medication needed to be taken by a certain time and would have to wait until the following day for a call back. I had the same issues with finding out the results of my pregnancy test after transfer.

$14,000 per IVF cycle including genetic embryo testing

The max amount he would transfer was 2 embryos due to the chance of them splitting. His motto is “one healthy baby”

Dr. Magarelli did not have good bedside manner. He was very blunt and did not show compassion. He seems to be knowledgable though.

Don't expect to see him often at all and don't expect someone that will ask how you are doing after a failed cycle and say they apologize.

Felt like a human because they didn't talk about the money aspect too much and some of the nurses really cared for you and got to know you.

He used the same protocol for almost of all his patients except for the dosages. For my 2nd IVF, we used the same medications just increased the dose and same exact protocol for the third.

I saw one nurse almost all the time and she was great! Very compassionate and thorough

The clinic looks a little run down and cheap. All the retrievals and transfers are done in a back room of the clinic. Their equipment doesn't seem too high quality either.

It was a package deal not including medications.

Dr. Magarelli was okay, I didn't have a lot of interaction with him and I felt like his nurse practitioner was the driving force in many of the decisions.

Don't waste your time and money here!

The nurses NEVER knew what was going on with my cycle. Most days I was told to continue taking a medication that was not part of my protocol and had to remind them daily that I was not on that medication. It made me wonder if they were even looking at my chart.

They were rude. One could not properly pronounce many common terms and procedures. Everything just seemed disorganized.
