Preston Parry

Everyone has their own personality and bedside manner preference. In my experience, Dr. Parry was not a good fit. Take my experience for what it’s worth and decide what you’re looking for in an REI. I wouldn’t recommend him to any of my family and friends after my experience. Pros: - Mississippi has a failing fertility service rating and there are very limited options for reproductive endocrinology specialists and insurance coverage in the area. Dr. Parry may be the only specialist you were able to see you in a timely manner since he runs a private clinic (in contrast to the academic clinic nearby). - During your initial visit, Dr. Parry makes an effort to be conversational and get to know you. I didn’t have this same experience on subsequent visits though and when I had a follow-up after a miscarriage he simply repeated the same “one-liner” statistical facts he told us at the first appointment. - If you are already very aware of your infertility status and are seeking a physician with a VERY aggressive treatment approach - Dr. Parry might be a good fit for you. He seems to push the boundaries of the upper limit on medication dosages compared to other RE’s and encourages patients to pursue the intervention that guarantees the highest chance of success in his opinion to boost outcomes. We did not feel comfortable with this, but that might be perfect for someone else. Cons: - DR. PARRY DOES NOT USE A PATIENT PORTAL. This is a HUGE pain. You can’t see any of your records, labs or imaging on a portal. They force you to pay $25 EACH TIME you request any sort of record, which is absurd. HIPAA requires access to your personal medical information and this can be cost-prohibitive to couples already paying ridiculous amounts for fertility treatments. This is not the standard at any other REI or OBGYN clinic I have visited and it’s a huge hassle on top of all the fertility visits and records patients have to keep track of on top of life. - If you’re looking for a holistic fertility specialist who will work to develop a better understanding of possible underlying hormonal conditions (e.g. PCOS), this likely is NOT the clinic for you. During our visit, Dr. Parry indicated that weight loss likely wouldn’t improve my conception rate (contradictory to ASRM guidelines that suggest even marginal weight loss improves PCOS fertility outcomes) and did not rule out any other hormonal disorders that may be causing cycle abnormalities. He doesn’t believe in taking specific vitamins/supplements and does not offer any diet or lifestyle recommendations. We switched to a different out-of-state REI and the difference in this approach was HUGE. Our new REI did a comprehensive workup and found factors affecting our fertility that Dr. Parry failed to investigate or overlooked. Our new REI also offered a lot of support for lifestyle changes that were never mentioned at the Positive Steps Clinic. - Dr. Parry uses a cookie-cutter approach to evaluation and ovulation induction medication dosages. He will not review any detailed home cycle tracking (e.g. urine hormone testing, average ovulation day) except average period lengths. As a result, he tried to do a monitoring ultrasound for ovulation way too early and put me on even more medication - I already know that my ovulation occurs later in my cycle and he confirmed this on ultrasound (which was a waste of money to perform this early). There were several cycle months where I knew I didn’t ovulate and he still counted this as part of the “failure to conceive” cycle count - you can't get pregnant with timed intercourse if you don't ovulate during a cycle. He continued to use the TTC month count to say our chances of conceiving were lower and to pressure us into IUI with scripted claims about diminishing statistical chances of success. We felt extremely gaslit and turned off by this - especially now that subsequent REI's have disputed these claims. We were very explicit about wanting to continue with medicated cycles with timed intercourse due to religious beliefs and personal fertility goals. We also discussed wanting to pursue further labs to rule out any underlying causes for abnormal cycles and no further testing was done. - Dr. Parry ignored the fact that I was consistently recording ovulation with LH OPK’s (I made a point to inform him of this) when evaluating our treatment plan 8 months after our initial consultation after suffering a miscarriage. He proceeded to place me on high dose medications (unnecessary) and this caused ovarian cysts to develop. These cysts caused us to have to skip several cycles of treatment with a different RE and set us back. Other RE’s we visited after Dr. Parry were shocked that he placed me on such a high dose of ovulation inducing medication. This is extremely concerning to me since he never warned me about potential risks of increasing the dose that high. - Dr. Parry doesn’t have a very gentle approach during ultrasounds or the hysteroscopy. I don’t feel like he gave great notice when he was doing different maneuvers or cervix during imaging which makes these invasive encounters very awkward and uncomfortable. This is likely personal preference though, but any gynecologic exam should be treated with a gentle approach and continued communication with the patient. - Dr. Parry explains findings on ultrasounds and hysteroscopy VERY quickly which makes it difficult to take notes, especially if your partner isn’t there to take notes for you. To make matters worse, the clinic does not provide a summary of any findings without a special record request and $25 record request fee. You have to keep track of a piece of paper for med recommendations and timing instead of having printed instructions or an online portal to reference. This is extremely problematic when they are monitoring follicle sizes in order to modify medication and determine the correct day to administer HCG trigger injections. - Dr. Parry loves data and tries to use this to impress patients and establish credibility. If you or your partner don’t have a statistics or medical background this may be overwhelming. The problem is that he manipulates statistics without considering your unique medical history and lab results. He also ignores evidence-based reproductive medicine protocols and research that he does not personally agree with - for example, he does not believe that progesterone deficiency can contribute to pregnancy loss (contradictory to research and other REI specialists) and will not provide luteal phase progesterone supplementation for medicated cycles which is a common protocol used at fertility clinics. - I had to argue with him to insist on trying a minimally invasive treatment approach I wanted to try (HCG trigger injection with timed intercourse). We had already paid for the HCG injection to be sent by the clinic from an out of state pharmacy and this would have gone to waste if I hadn’t advocated to use it. He insisted that it was a waste to use the trigger shot without IUI, which contradicts approaches that many other fertility clinics use. I had to fight for our goals and preferences every step of the way with Dr. Parry and it was exhausting. All of this took a HUGE mental and emotional toll on my husband and myself. The lack of respect for our goals, that we clearly vocalized, was disgusting. - When asking questions, he often does not address the specific question you asked and typically reiterates the specific “one liners” he uses during patient appointments. Bring a list of questions ahead of time because it always feels rushed when you are asked if you have any other questions. - Dr. Parry likes to market his “patented” hysteroscopy technique used as an alternative to a hysterosalpingogram to evaluated for uterine or tubal abnormalities. There is nothing special about this procedure - it is really just a Femvue Sono HSG and it’s a standard procedure done by many REI’s around the country (More info here FemVue: Fallopian Tube http://www.femvue.com). Not only did this procedure cost $1000, but he falsely suggested I had a tubal blockage which was later found to be incorrect by a follow-up HSG and ultrasound with a different RE. The Parryscope was a waste of money, and we spend MONTHS thinking I had a potential tubal blockage which altered our treatment approach.

You will have to be your own advocate. If you don't have familiarity with medicine or fertility treatments, I discourage this clinic. You have to bring a list of questions to make sure you cover these during rushed appointments.

N/A

Dr. Parry has been phenomenal. He explains everything in an easy to understand manner, but does not talk down to you. He answers all questions thoroughly and addresses your concerns with thoughtfulness and honesty. He has a compassionate manner and I believe truly wants the best for his patients. We had a giant setback that even he didn't expect and he has worked with us to make it right.

Ask all the questions you want! He will answer them all.

Dr. Parry was supportive of trying multiple cycles of IUI. He prices them in packages of three, including the ultrasounds. He has very reasonable pricing! We took letrozole, in varying dosages, prior to an ultrasound. At the ultrasound, we would schedule the IUI date. The actual IUI process is very fast and for me, relatively painless- only a few light cramps. After 14 days, we were instructed to take a pregnancy test. After 6 IUIs, we decided to move on to IVF. I took birth control for about a month to prep for stimulation. I started with Lupron for two weeks, then added Gonal F and Menopur. I started responding too well to the meds, so the dosages were lowered twice during monitoring. He wanted to wait two more days before we did the retrieval, but said it would not be safe to do so because I was overstimulated. So we did the egg retrieval and he retrieved 62 eggs, the clinic record at the time. I have PCOS, so we knew that likelihood that I would have a lot of eggs was high. I did develop OHSS, but it was moderate. I did have to have fluid drained once, but thankfully was never hospitalized nor did I experience vomiting. Dr. Parry had told me that OHSS was fairly likely given my PCOS. Unfortunately, we only wound up with one day 7 embryo. We froze the embryo so I could heal from the OHSS. We transferred the embryo a few months later, but it did not result in a pregnancy. We are hoping to do a second egg retrieval and have a better outcome since we will know better how my body reacts to stimulation meds.

The first IUI Package was $1,100. That included three IUIs and three ultrasounds. I needed an additional ultrasound once, and I believe it was $125. The second IUI Package had gone up to $1200. Dr. Parry has a scope called the Parryscope he was created that is an alternative to an HSG. It was $900 when we did it the first time, $1,000 the second time. It uses saline and a camera to scope the uterus and tubes. It was not painful at all, only slight cramping afterwards. IVF was $12,687 and included my husband and my bloodwork, monitoring ultrasounds, egg retrieval, ICSI and up to four embryo transfers and pregnancy tests in office. It did not include medication or OB sonograms. Medication was quoted at $4,500-6,500. We purchased our medication from Alexander's Twin Pharmacy, a mail-order pharmacy, at the recommendation of the clinic. We paid $4,074 for meds. Because I had OHSS, I needed IV fluids and fluid drained from my abdomen. That was $600 and was performed in the clinic. Positive Steps does not file insurance, as Mississippi does not mandate fertility coverage. Part of the time we had insurance from another state, so we were able to file some of the charges ourselves, and received a reimbursement of about $2,000.

Dr. Parry generally prefers to transfer a single embryo, but will discuss transferring two if your situation warrants it or if you wish to do so.

Dr. Parry is a really kind doctor. He was very thorough in my initial consultation. He is extremely knowledgeable about fertility and treatment options. He is really respectful of your wishes and doesn't push you in a direction that you don't want to go. He lets you lead your own fertility journey in a way. I can say I appreciated him and respected him as a doctor. I may go back to him for IVF monitoring since he is so close to me and my current clinic is almost 3 hours away.

My advice to a prospective Dr. Parry patient is to research and ask questions. Dr. Parry is very thorough but researching your options beforehand and costs will give you a general idea of how you want your fertility journey to go. Ask for diagnostic testing as in lab work. My current RE was a little surprised that I hadn't had baseline lab work drawn. Also, be prepared to have a "Parryscope". It is his own technique that he created of examining your uterus and Fallopian tubes. I believe its a type of ultrasound guided, saline infused hysteroscopy.

After having the "Parryscope" diagnostic procedure I learned that I had a retroverted uterus and my right Fallopian tube had a blockage. The procedure also showed that I had several follicles on each side typical of patients with PCOS. I had already been diagnosed with PCOS by my OBGYN but Dr. Parry was the first person that really explained to me how many follicles I had on each side and what that meant for me as a patient. After my diagnostic procedure, I ended up getting accepted to a new program of study and decided to put my fertility journey on hold. I then returned to Dr. Parry almost a year later ready to begin again. We picked up were we left off. Dr. Parry put me on 5mg of Letrozole which was an increase from the 2.5 my OBGYN had me taking for three months prior to starting my IUIs with Parry. I had spoken with the nurse and told her that I had my progesterone level checked while taking the 2.5 mg and that my level was 22.6. She stated that Dr. Parry still wanted to increase the dosage slightly because he felt like it would give me a better chance of producing a mature egg on both sides. I began taking Letrozole 5mg and having transvaginal ultrasounds. He told me that if I had a mature egg on the left, we would proceed with IUI for that cycle. I was able to have three IUI cycles which he offers in 3 sessions for one set price. I had a nurse perform my first IUI which I wasn't all the way comfortable with, however Dr. Parry performed all of the rest them. All three attempts were unsuccessful and did not result in pregnancy.

I've probably spent roughly $2,500 total under Dr. Parry. The "Parryscope" procedure I had was about $1100 in 2018. The IUIs was about $1000 and that included 3 ultrasounds in 2019. Other costs include consultation fees and office visit fees. They do not accept insurance and you pretty much have to pay out of pocket at the time of service.

N/a

Dr. Parry is the most knowledgeable in his field. During our first appointment, he laid out all the information we needed to know in order to proceed. Even though we researched heavily and felt prepared, he presented us with information we never would have know. We felt comfortable choosing a plan of care during that time based on the thorough information we received. We are so confident in our care with Dr. Parry that we drive from another state, 8+ hours round trip for each visit. Our journey is still continuing but we are certain our desired outcome is around the corner.

Make the appointment! Dr. Parry's way of care will change your fertility journey for the better.

The Parryscope procedure identified uterine fibroids that had not been discovered with several other tests with another doctor. I was able to have a removal surgery and start with letrozole for medicated IUI cycles. Our first planned cycle was not met with enough eggs, so medication was altered. This was successful in producing more eggs. Although the IUI has not yet been successful, we still have more opportunities to try before moving to IVF.

Initial consultation - $150 Parryscope - $1000 Uterine polyp removal - $2000 3 round IUI package - $1,400 Trigger shot - $110 Letrozole - $5

We have not crossed the eSET bridge at this time. However, I feel like Dr. Parry would be open to hearing the patient request and choose what is best for them.

He’s very genuine and kind. He also sit down and talk with you 1 on 1 something that most doctors doesn’t do! He always be sure to ask is their anything else that he can tell you before he end the conversation.

Go for it!

I was put on Lupron 10ccm injections every night at 11:26pm then about roughly a week in a half following behind that I started my Menopur injections with the liquid and powder mix 1ml every morning at 11:30am. About a week after that I started my Follistim 300mg and I injected that with my Lupron at 11:26pm every night. Then about 36hrs before my retrieval I did an HCG injection on a Monday at 9:00pm in my buttocks/Hip and my retrieval was done at 9:30 on a Wednesday morning where 14eggs were retrieved.Six of those eggs turned out to be mature while the other 8 weren’t. Five out of 6 turned out to be normal while only 1 was abnormal. Five were injected with my husband sperm and 4 of them stop growing after day 3 while only 1 made it to the Blastocyst stage and was sent off for PGT-A testing and that 1 was missing a chromosome (number 4 to be exact). So Dr.Parry didn’t want to transfer that 1 because it was aneuploid as they say. That really sadden me that I didn’t have any eggs to transfer

I paid out 15,489 all together for the treatment that includes PGT-A testing. But that’s not including what I paid out for the medicine

We never made it to that stage to get opinions on transfer because in the end I didn’t have any eggs to transfer

I could sit and listen to him speak on any subject all day. He is very throughal in his explanation. I don't feel like he is wasting out tike or money which is how we have been treated before by other doctors. We finally feel like after 7 years of road blocks we are getting answers from Dr.Perry.

Do everything he says.

He reviewed my previous procedures, listened to our concerns, and he gave us realistic expectations in our initial consultation. I was able to schedule an appointment soon after for an ultrasound and Perryscope. One thing that has really stuck with me is I feel like the money we have spent at his office is worth it. The first attempt at IUI due to my endometriosis and the cyst that had taken over my ovary, his PA suggested we wait. Other offices I have been to they just moved forward, possibly knowing it wasn't going to work, but as long as I kept paying they didn't truly care. Since I first stepped foot in Dr.Perry's office I have only felt cared for.

All my insurance does not cover anything.

I got to see him during my consultation and knew immediately we had made it to the correct doctor for us. Our feelings were taken into consideration, he explained everything as far as ovulating and conceiving for someone my age. He had all the numbers laid out for us already. He also made it a point to review everything prior to walking in his office. It made me feel like we actually mattered and like he is truly dedicated to helping people. I’m pleased with the fact that he printed off a “guide” for the months to come in my journey of TTC.

Don’t debate on going, go! He truly is the best.

I’m in the early stages of TTC. I had my parryscope done to confirm whether or not I had any issues with my tubes, ovaries or eggs. During my appointment I was explained what everything on the screen was and was walked through what exactly they were looking for during the sonogram. They did the same during the parryscope. I actually learned more about women’s health by going to Dr Parry than I’ve learned any where else in my 27 years of living. Super educational, thorough, and painless!

My initial consultation was $150 if I’m not mistaken. To have the parryscope done was $1,000.

He is very warm and welcoming. He makes you feel very comfortable at first. I came in with the diagnosis of endometriosis but he gave me no other explanation. He did not draw any hormone levels which is fine, but I took it upon myself to get modern fertility done and when I asked questions about some of my off levels he acted like they were incorrect and would not give me any explanation about them. In my first egg retrieval he diagnosed me with empty follicle syndrome, his words not mine. After our second failed transfer he said I never had empty follicle syndrome and acted like I had made it up. When I reminded him that he gave me that diagnosis he tried to back track but the damage had already been done. I tried to advocate for myself on multiple occasions like getting an ERA and he was so discouraging about it, he made me feel silly about wanting it. When the first 2 FETs didn’t work I did research (on credible sites) about things we could add in for our last FET but he acted like they were all baseless and made no sense in trying. When I would bring up concerns about pains I would be feeling he would quickly brush them off and act like I didn’t know what I was talking about, even though I’m very in tune with my body.

FET protocols don’t change. If you want something done, you have to REALLY put your foot down and stand your ground. Don’t let him make you feel like what you want is stupid or baseless. This is your fertility.

For our IUIs we did letrazole day 3-7, HCG trigger based on follicle size, IUI 36 hours after trigger, at home test 2 weeks after. First egg retrieval we did 3 weeks of birth control, started lupron 2 weeks before the period before retrieval. After my period we continued lupron, started estradiol, follistim and menopur. HCG trigger. Only had eggs in 1/3 of follicles. Second retrieval birth control 3 weeks before my period. After my period started estradiol, follistim, and menopur. Added ganirelix based off my follicles. HCG trigger. For all FETs, took 2mg estradiol 3times a day for at least 3 weeks, started PIO 5 days before transfer. Continued both until blood draw 10 days after transfer.

1200/3 IUIs 12000 per IVF retrieval including up to 4 transfers or until pregnant. Meds were a separate cost through a pharmacy.

He will only do single embryo transfer. He doesn’t like transferring multiple due to creating a high risk pregnancy.

Overall, I liked Dr. Parry. However, I did feel the need to get a second option after seeing him. I don’t like that he claims to have invented the procedure he calls the ParryScope, which multiple other doctors have told me he didn’t. I also don’t like that he constantly makes himself the center of my treatment and doesn’t spend much time with me at each appointment past the initial consult and initial diagnostic visit. I also dislike that he seems to blame me for the pain I experience during pelvic exams he performs. I do think that he is knowledgeable in his area of medicine and I do think he tries to guide patients towards the best route for them. However, I wish he’d be more compassionate when referring to IVF. He seemed very flippant when telling me that it had to be my next step - never really taking time to acknowledge or discuss the huge cost.

Don’t wait to get a second option if you want one. Don’t be wowed by his initial charismatic persona.

He had me take 7.5 letrozole CD 3-5. Come in for ultrasound on day 10, based on those findings, trigger shot later and 35-37 hours later IUI. No pregnancies resulted. He also recommended surgery to improved my qualify today life but after surgery told me that it didn’t have any affect on my fertility. Which was in complete disagreement with the surgeon.

The initial consult was $150. The diagnostic appointment was $900. Three rounds of IUI were $1,400. A second diagnostic appointment (after surgery) was $600. Surgery (that was completed by another doctor, but was advised by Dr. Parry) was $2,000 because it was covered by my health insurance.

Dr. Parry has an excellent personality. He is very down to earth and well spoken. We still continue to see Dr Parry at this time but it’s always a pleasure and fun seeing him. Additionally he is professional, well educated and always happy to answer any of your questions. He absolutely loves data and numbers.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, they have no problem answering them no matter how simple the question may be. Also be ready to be part of a family environment.

We did 2 sets of 3 IUI’s with Dr. Parry and his team. 1 Set of 3 IUI’s was $1400. The first set of 3 IUI’s was done with Letrozole 7.5mg from Cycle Day 3-7. Each IUI came with 1 Follicle Scan. If you need an additional scan it will be $175. My follicle Scans usually have been around Cycle Day 10 or Cycle Day 11 followed by a Pregnyl Shot (10.000 unit) to start ovulation, which was usually around Cycle Day 11 or Cycle Day 12. The actual IUI happened either on CD 12 or CD 13 depending on my follicle size. We got pregnant on our 3rd IUI but lost the Baby due to a missed miscarriage at around 8weeks. We waited for about 2 months before we started another set of 3 IUI’s with Dr. Parry. All 3 of those resulted unfortunately with negative results.

One set of 3 IUI’s is $1400. Each IUI comes with 1 Follicle Scan. Each additional scan costs you $175. A prescription of Letrozole of 30 pills is $10. The Parryscope Technique since we did it in one of the satellite clinics was $1100 (normally in Madison, MS was $1000). For IVF we pay around $13,000 plus around $6,500 for medication.

Dr. Parry is open for multiple embryo transfers , but usually for women above the age of 35 or women that had multiple losses.

Dr. Parry has been exceptional. I have had personal setbacks in the plan due to miscarriage and Dr. Parry has made new plans going forward that would best benefit my husband and I. He has told me the pros and cons of every part of our infertility journey. Dr. Parry has put hope into my future that I thought I had lost.

My advice would be to remain hopeful. Dr. Parry is there to give chances at a life that may not be possible without his help.

I had the Parry Scope done with Dr. Parry. I was given all the info I needed before hand and told that a small percentage has severe pain with the procedure. Because I expected this and was warned I was not caught off guard with the pain. I was also advised the best ways to help treat the pain after the visit. I also had a cycle of letrozole at 7.5 mg. This gave my follicles that we’re too large and caused too high a risk of multiples that would be dangerous for me. Dr. Parry carefully explained to me why it would not be a good idea to try for that cycle in a way that I understood. Soon I will be starting IVF with Dr. Parry and he has personally answered every question that my husband and I have had.

Soon I will be starting IVF which is rather pricey. They have been upfront about what cost is included and what is not. They even go as far to give a cost if something was to go wrong and further treatment is needed. The staff have made a list of common banks that other patients have used to get a loan for the process. Overall to have the IVF, genetic testing, medications, and transfers it is roughly $20,000.

Dr. Parry explained to me that he had made exceptions before but chooses to do single embryo majority of the time. This gives the body time to adapt to the new embryo and prevent complications.

Dr. Parry is very knowledgeable regarding fertility procedures and treatments. I came to him after two other recommendations. He was able to locate polyps in my uterus and explained more in how PCOS affect my ovary follicle count. He is able to tell you anything you need to know, which can sometimes come off as a lot of information so make sure you right down questions and answers or they may get skipped over

Write down questions. Appointments go so fast and while Information is being thrown at you, you often forget to ask what you’ve been think.

We have only done oral medications up to this point, with injectables starting within the next week. All cycles were a mixture of both Clomid and Femara. No cycle produced any change and resulted in anovulation

Dr. Parry bundles his services to try and allow as many chances as possible. His IUI package is $1,400 plus the cost of medication. The IUI package includes 3 ultrasounds and 3 inseminations. The IVF package is $12,900 plus the cost is medications and any other services such as genetic testing. The IVF package includes retrieval and 4 transfers.

Dr Parry is the most genuine and compassionate doctor. He has made my husband and I feel like he is on this journey with us. He has as much passion for us to have a baby as we do. He speaks very soft and calming. He is optimistic and realistic when explaining probability and outcomes. He presents all possible options for treatment but allows his patients to decide the best route.

Bring a notebook, questions, and someone in addition to your spouse! Dr Parry is so knowledgeable and provides an incredible amount of information. Our first consult my husband and I were overwhelmed with emotions. My sister is was able to write down several points we otherwise would’ve forgotten.

5mg of Letrozole first round of IUI produced 2 follicles of 11mm by CD11 Dr Parry wanted five additional days of medication to encourage more growth. This cycle failed. 7.5 mg of Letrozole second round in hopes of larger follicles

Consultation $150 Parryscope (HSG type procedure) $900 IUI with 3 ultrasounds & inseminations $1200

Since my first consultation, Dr. Parry has been candid, thorough, warm, and friendly in every conversation and during procedures. I always feel very prepared for what to expect and I trust him to give me the very best care every time.

If he gives you a lot of statistics, ask him to slow down. Go in with questions--he is happy to answer them.

Dr. Parry believes in a low technology, low cost approach to fertility issues, so we decided to start with IUI since I didn't have any obvious complicating factors. He prescribed 7.5 mg Letrozole on CD 2-7 before using his Parryscope diagnostic technique to see if there were any underlying issues. During the transvaginal ultrasound, he found a good number of eggs, but the Parryscope revealed that I had cervical polyps and my tubes were blocked. I was scheduled for a polypectomy and an attempt to open my tubes, which was successful on the left side. We then proceeded to IUI treatments. I purchased a package of three IUI attempts with three ultrasounds for $1200, which was very affordable. I had my first IUI in March, which resulted in a negative pregnancy test, but I was prepared for that result. I decided to take April off to re-assess a few things, and this was totally ok with the clinic. I felt no pressure to continue or to discontinue my IUI attempts. I am on track for a second IUI in early May.

Initial consultation: $150 Polypectomy and tubes: $2500 IUI and ultrasounds (x3 package): $1200

Dr. Parry is probably the smartest person I know but also knows how to communicate in normal terms so you don't feel completely lost. Infertility can be so overwhelming and he has been so patient with us making sure we understand what is next in a treatment. He also gives us options and time to discuss those options. Since we live over an hour away, he has called us several times in the evenings to discuss next steps, answer questions and concerns and comfort us. He truly is the best!

Trust him. He knows what he's talking about! His goal is to get you pregnant so if you're not 100% sure, don't go see him yet.

Dr. Parry offers a consultation first and foremost. It lasted us a little over an hour and he talked with us about our history and next steps during that time. We had a ParryScope soon after. It's a small procedure to check and make sure all tubes are open, pelvis, ovaries and uterus are looking healthy and well - checking on the overall health of the women's reproductive system. After that he develops a plan for you tailored to what he has seen. That is where he discovered I have endometriosis - I had a cyst on my left ovary that was an endometrioma. He suggested 3 rounds of IUI and possible surgery to remove the cyst. I did 2 rounds of IUI with Letrozole. Both were unsuccessful. We then had surgery to remove the cyst and had my final round of IUI with 7mg of Letrozole. That was unsuccessful as well. We are now considering IVF.

We've probably paid out $4,000 so far. If we choose to do IVF, we'll pay around $18,000.

I went through 4 transfers of IVF with him. Every time it didn’t work he was just as upset as we were. On my last transfer we finally got pregnant with twins and were able to see the heartbeat at 7 weeks. When we went back for our 10 week ultrasound the heartbeats weren’t there. He hugged us and sat with us while we cried. He has became not only a doctor to us but someone we hold very dear to our hearts.

If you want someone who genuinely cares about helping you start a family go see him. He listens to your concerns, answers all questions so you can understand, and never gives up on you. I can’t express how thankful we are for him even though we are still on our journey.

We paid one lump some for IVF for the clinic. It included, ultrasound appointments/monitoring, egg retrieval, and 4 transfers. This cost around 11K. The medications were separate and all together cost around 6K.

He always starts with one embryo transfer if you have good quality embryos. He only agreed to transfer two after our 2nd transfer failed

With being a nurse myself it’s always so hard to be on the other side of things and have to be the patient. From the moment I walked into that clinic for my consultation Dr. Parry was amazing. He answered every single question I had. By the end of my consultation he already had a treatment plan ready and I walked out of the door with a proposed plan. He is beyond brilliant. Throughout my nursing career I have met a bunch of physicians and he is probably one of the smartest people I have ever met.

Because he is so brilliant sometimes he can get a little over the top with medical terms. Just ask him to explain it if you don’t understand something. He will be more than happy to further explain.

Every one of his patients has a procedure called the “Parryscope” done. It is his patent pending procedure that looks with a camera at the ovaries and uterus. This procedure does not require any sedation at all. Within 5 minutes they were able to tell that I had tubal blockage. At that point we realized our safest and only option was IVF. Dr. Parry was very thorough with explaining our options. One thing I like about him is that he is honest and safe with every decision and he always keeps your financial situation in mind when planning your care. At this point Dr. Parry said there are procedures to unblock tubes but that I could run a high risk of damaging the tube and thus having an ectopic pregnancy. He also made a very valid point that the money spent on that procedure could’ve gone toward IVF and it would be 100% safer and non life threatening than risking an ectopic pregnancy. So at this time we decided to go forward with IVF. We started all the oral medications as suggested and then COVID-19 hit. With me being an emergency room nurse and my husband a fireman/ first responder we decided to postpone IVF until the pandemic subsided

New consult-$150 Parryscope- $900 IVF (retrieval and up to 4 transfers)- $12,687 IVF reassurance package- $25,000

Due to COVID-19 and us having to push IVF out we had not reached this point yet.

Dr. Perry is motivated to stay on the cutting edge of literature and innovation. He is an optimistic realist. I never feel rushed during our appointments. He answers all of my questions, which there are typically many. The conversation lasts as long as I need it too. He is able to explain all of the ins and outs of treatment, including any financial concerns. He is always available, whether in office or by phone.

He suggested that we try IUI, even after a failed attempt of IVF at another clinic. He offers a low-cost IUI package in hopes that pregnancy can be reached this easily. Even though it was not successful for me, we learned how my body responds to ovarian stimulants over the course of three months. So, my advice would be to communicate with Dr Perry if time is of the essence for you.

My IUI treatments began with Letrozole 7.5mg CD 1-7, ultrasound day 10, trigger shot when appropriate and IUI within 36 hrs. The high dose Letrozole produced a nice, thick uterine lining each month. I produced multiple, mature follicle each month, but suspect that the eggs were of poor quality due to age.

Initial consult $150; Saline ultrasound $1000; 3 rounds of IUI including all ultrasounds $1200; IVF with donor eggs (in house donor) $24,000

Dr. Perry's advice to me was to plan on transferring one embryo this summer. Transferring two only increases my chances of having twins, not of getting pregnant.

Dr Parry is a very straight forward person and can explain things to where you will understand them. After each IUI that did not take, Not only were my husband and I disappointed, but Dr Parry was too. He is so invested with your process just as you are. Dr Parry explained to us the reason for why we were not getting pregnant and it was due to male infertility issues. He helped walk us through the donor sperm process and answered any questions that we had. He made us feel very comfortable with a very uncomfortable situation. As an example, on certain testing that requires up front payment, when we had maxed out our budget he offered to bill us “down the road”. He had told us that his biggest goal was not money, it was to have successful out comes for his patients.

You don’t feel as if your a patient to Dr Parry. He makes you feel like family.

Since we found out that my husband has a male infertility issue, Dr Parry wanted me to do his Parryscope procedure. Last April we went in and did the scope and everything came back “text book perfect” according to him. In May we did the first IUI procedure. He had me take 1 pill (Letrozole) 3 days after my cycle for 5 days. We then went in for an ultrasound and I had 1 egg to drop that month. We proceeded with the insemination. Unfortually, I did not make it to the 14 day waiting period. He realized that I have a short Luteal phase. He started me on taking 2 pills for 6 days. When we went in for the ultrasound, I had 1 egg again. My husband and I decided to hold off on the insemination that month. Once I stared my cycle, Dr Parry bumped my medicine up to 3 pills and take for 7 days. That following ultrasound showed 2 eggs! We were very excited and proceeded with the insemination. I made it to the 14 day waiting period but my cycle came. We had 1 more chance at IUI so he kept my medicine the same for that month. The ultrasound showed 2 eggs again so we agreed to do it that month. 14 days later, my cycle started. We were all disappointed, even Dr Parry. We met with him again to get a new game plan and have decided to do IVF. He believes that our chance of bringing home a baby is very high. He believes that IVF will work for us.

$150 for the first consult with Dr Parry. $900 for the Parryscope. $285 for blood work. $1,100 for IUI package. $3,125 for 3 sperm donors. $175 for an extra ultrasound.

If Dr Parry sees fit, my husband and I have no issue with transferring multiple embryos.

Dr. Parry took my previous diagnosis of stage 4 endometriosis serious and started from that. He wanted to protect my female parts and not just pump me with hormones. He explains everything. And he wants to make sure that you fully understand all he has to offer and all he discovers during your treatment. I am very thankful for all Dr Parry did for my family.

Don’t wait! This group is amazing!!

3 unsuccessful IUIs Ivf - 3 embryos 3 transfers 1 miscarriage to a little girl (JoEllen) at 12 weeks

IUI for everything $1200 Meds $500 IVF $10,500 for all clinic & transfers $5,000 meds

Dr Parry is a great doctor. He wants to make sure all his patients understand the treatment they are receiving and allows you to ask questions and takes the time to answer them without making you feel like a burden. He is very Postive and encouraging.I would recommend him to anyone.

Don’t feel anxious or worried about asking any questions you have. He will take the time to answer any questions or concerns you have.

I have only just started treatment with him. I just finished a round of Femera 7.5 mg for 5 days. I will receive an ultrasound next and if everything looks good receive the trigger shot then do an IUI.

My initial consultation was $150. I had a Parryscope that cost $900. I am doing IUI so the cost of the IUI is $1,100 for 3 rounds plus $100 per trigger shot (so $300 if i need all 3 rounds) and $10 for my femera thru pharmacy.

Dr. Parry is a very intelligent, educated doctor. He knows what he is doing and talks about every little detail for the patient to get a clear understanding. Even though the medical terminology of things kind of drifted at times. I really appreciate all he has done. I hope to get the chance to go through another IVF cycle with him.

My advice would be to really go in with an open mind and study the background and other options. He loves to answer any questions you might have. He is a wonderful doctor and knows what he is talking about.

During my cycle, I took Lupron 10 units for 14 days, then I added 150 units of Menopur in the morning, lowered my Lupron to 5 units, and took Follistim 300 units all for 14 days until it was time for my trigger shot HCG.The trigger shot came before the retrieval of my eggs. After the retrieval I took different pills and continued my prenatal vitamins. Once it was time for the transfer I took started taking progesterone oil up until I got the results of my blood work 10 days later.

The cost of a consultation was between $100-$300. Sorry can’t remember the exact cost. The parry scope to see what the issues were the reason for infertility was $1000 which was the blockage of tubes. My husband and I had to have bloodwork done before the stem cycle which was $600 together. The procedure was $11,000 and the medication ordered was $6,022.

The doctor was able to retrieve 7 eggs but 3 survived. On the 5th day 2 had survived and was then transferred.

At the moment I can’t think of any weaknesses he may have. I think I loved every experience I had with this office. The nurses and Dr Parry treat you like family. With each visit he would explain everything to your understanding. He was very patient in answering any and all questions that everyone has.

They will have the best experience in such a stressful situation.

Lupron-10units daily, Follistim-75iui daily, progesterone, estrace-3pills vaginally daily, prenatal vitamins daily, menopur-75iui daily, HCG Pregnal

The clinic has a smooth process in monitoring and it made you feel like you were their only patient although you knew they had other patients.

Although there was a misunderstanding with financing on one protocol we agreed to do, overall the financing wasn’t bad. Overall a great experience.

I was ok with his approach, he chose 2 on the fresh and 1 on the frozen. However, sometimes I wish it was 1 done in the fresh just for more chances although it may have still been the same outcome in my situation.

Dr. Parry is an incredibly smart doctor. He studies and researches ALL the time. Dr. Parry is the second RE that I have seen and I hate that he wasn't the first! I am so thankful to have found him and his clinic. The first meeting that my husband and I had with Dr. Parry was so informative and really gave me a sense of direction and clarity. I know exactly what we are doing in each procedure and he walks you through everything.

Ask lots of questions and he will explain everything! He won't make you feel rushed so make sure you take your time to really understand everything he is telling you and if you don't understand, he will always explain it in a different way. Also, do your research and be active in the process.

Dr. Parry developed a new technique called Parryscope Fertility Testing. Before Dr. Parry, I saw another RE who put me on Letrozole and did monthly follicular monitoring and one round of IUI. None of that worked and I wasn't really getting any answers as to why and what to do. So, I found Dr. Parry and he did the Parryscope. The Parryscope gives you an actual look inside the uterus and evaluates the fallopian tubes. It is not an ultrasound. It is an actual camera view. Through the Parryscope I found out that I had two uterine polyps and that my left fallopian tube (the only one I have because of an ectopic pregnancy in the right) is blocked. So, after the Parryscope, I had a procedure to remove the polyps and a tubal cannulation to see if the left tube could be opened- which it couldn't. I am now on Dr. Parry's schedule for IVF in July.

Dr. Parry does not accept insurance so everything is out of pocket. Initial consultation is $150, Parryscope is $900, Tubal Cannulation and Uterine Polyp removal was $2,200. IVF is $11,000 (not including medication).

We have not had the conversation about this yet but I know Dr. Parry will fully educate me.

Dr. Parry is very soft spoken and friendly. He brings you into his office and pulls up a chair beside you to talk. He makes you feel very comfortable and I have no problem asking him questions. Before leaving he always asks if there are any questions or concerns that we need to talk about. He doesn't let you leave feeling confused. His motto is "WHEN you get pregnant..., not IF you get pregnant."

To make him be your first infertility doctor. Don't go to anyone else, start with the best.

I am currently waiting to be placed in the May group for our first round of IVF. I have had the Parryscope done by him to make sure everything on my end is still working and open. He actually developed the Parryscope to replace the painful HSG procedure. Let me tell you, it is a complete difference between the two. The Parryscope does not hurt at all and you get to watch what he is doing on a big tv screen in the room while its happening. It's very informative.

Dr. Parry likes to be cost-effective. He actually does a bundle deal with IUI's. He does 3 IUIs for $1200 and that includes meds and ultrasound. He has a set rate for IVF and has already given us a paper with the cost upfront. There's no hidden fees I have to worry about and they let us know when each payment would be due by so we can plan ahead.
