Describe the protocols Robert Greene used in your cycles at Conceptions Reproductive Associates and their degree of success.
IUI was a strait forward cycle, clomid with prenatal and estrogen/progeterone pills and ovidrel trigger shot. My FET: Lupron, Estrogen patches, PIO, Estrace, Synthroid (to control thyroids due to meds), Metformin (to control sugar levels and proven to help implantation) Prenatal with extra vit D (I have vit D deficiency), and pregnyl trigger shot. Although i had a miscarriage is was due to embryo not developing not me so dr. Greene believes next cycle will be the same.

He [Dr. Robert Greene] recorded all our in office sessions so he was able to go back and review us. He took the time to learn about who we are and what we wanted. He was honest and shared his own experiences that made us feel like we mattered...When reviewing test results he broke it down so it was easily understood...When we had a missed miscarriage and had to have a review appointment he was a bit too blunt and seemed a bit aggravated. My husband chocked it up to just being upset about the loss too. He referred to our loss as a failed pregnancy. He did give us a plan and what we needed to do before getting the green light to try again. He was very kind when we had to have a surgery done and did not hesitate to let us try again after that. We did have to have another meeting with him after two cycles of no response. That appointment was had as he really pushed IVF, which we did not feel ready for. He did refer to our loss again as a failed attempt. Which still hurt for me and the chemical pregnancy was not even recognized. He was kind enough to let us take as much time as we need to figure out what we wanted to do. He did let us try another IUI while we were still deciding. He is very proactive when it comes to care but can be very blunt during sensitive times.

I just called the next morning and they gave me the results right then...Each ultrasound was $185, each IUI was $402, each meeting appointment was $225, bloodwork varied between $25 for the Ventipuncture to $200 for blood test, sperm analysis was $75, HSG was $250, SIS was $200.

How was your experience with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
Dr. Greene is extremely knowledgeable about infertility treatments. He was very honest and open when discussing what steps need to be taken. He was proactive and wanted the big picture first. He loads of test and procedures on both my husband and I. When reviewing test results he broke it down so it was easily understood. He was honest and hopeful. When we had a missed miscarriage and had to have a review appointment he was a bit too blunt and seemed a bit aggravated. My husband chocked it up to just being upset about the loss too. He referred to our loss as a failed pregnancy. He did give us a plan and what we needed to do before getting the green light to try again.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
You are in good hands. He will proactively order all the testing so he has a better understanding of you when you come back to review. He is diligent, honest and can be blunt.

Describe the protocols Robert Greene used in your cycles at Conceptions Reproductive Associates and their degree of success.
For our first IUI We started with the lowest does of letrozole at the CD12 scan there was no follicle growth so instead of wasting the cycle he offered we stair step. So he upped my doseage to 75mg of letrozole. At the new CD12 scan I had responded and we proceeded to trigger that night for a CD14 IUI. He prescribed progesterone suppositories and order me to take them two days after the IUI. After our MMC he ordered for weekly blood draws until beta was zero. Once zero he ordered an SIS. After that procedure based on the results he ordered a hysteroscopy which found scar tissue and a uterine polyp which he removed. He ordered 3 weeks of healing. He kept the same letrozole dose for the next 3 IUIs. He cancelled two cycles due to poor response but did offer extra injectables that I declined.

He [Dr. Robert Greene] recommends removal of polyps and performs the surgery himself. His nurses perform the IUI procedure. There has been a lot of waiting which is frustrating but it seems to me that he follows protocols by the book...He strongly recommends single embryo transplant which is something I have done research on and agree with...He cared about how many kids we want and tailors our therapy to what is best for us. He focused on our personal needs as a couple. He was also compassionate and seems to really care a lot.
I think the biggest concern I have with this clinic [Conceptions Reproductive Associates] is associated with a couple of paperwork related issues. For any new patients - make sure you stay on top of everything and feel free to call them with questions. The staff responds really well to any questions you may have and the nurses are easy to talk to. Just make sure you are an advocate for yourself!...

How was your experience with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
He is on top of the most recent research which is important to me. He has a personal email that he told us we can email him at any time. He even has a blog although does not update it frequently. I have only seen him twice but he is very friendly and intelligent. He seems very passionate about his career and I feel like I can absolutely trust him.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
Come prepared with a list of questions.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
He cared about how many kids we want and tailors our therapy to what is best for us. He focused on our personal needs as a couple. He was also compassionate and seems to really care a lot.
Describe the protocols Robert Greene used in your cycles at Conceptions Reproductive Associates and their degree of success.
He looks at bloodwork and other tests before deciding anything. He looks at HSG, if you are able to ovulate normally, AMH, and as well as male factor. He doesn't jump into performing a biopsy to diagnose endometriosis and recommends pine bark extract which has one study stating it can help. He recommends removal of polyps and performs the surgery himself. His nurses perform the IUI procedure. There has been a lot of waiting which is frustrating but it seems to me that he follows protocols by the book.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nurses are wonderful. I like the fact that they perform the IUIs because they are all very gentle and I feel comfortable with them. They are good about responding to my frantic emails or calls. Sometimes some medication related things aren't done on time but if I call the office they respond right away. I really appreciate how compassionate they are. They have a lot of responsibility at this office and if you are a patient here you will get to know them well, which is great because I enjoy seeing them!

I didn't see Dr. Greene as much as I would have liked, but the consultations and treatment plan meetings were very useful. He never seemed rush and always took the time to explain things in detail and answer all of my questions. I always walked away feeling very armed with knowledge about what was next. He was also very responsive to email, but I found his in person responses most thorough. I most appreciated his EXTREMELY thorough understanding
The clinic [Conceptions Reproductive Associates] clearly has individualized treatment plans and you are not just treated with a blanket protocol. However, it is still easy to feel like a number at times when you don't interact with the Dr. very often at all. However, the nurse care and organization is very thorough.... Sarah (egg retrieval nurse) and Jess (embryo transfer nurse) are great and both respond to emails very quickly and efficiently. They have been very compassionate and are continuing to cheer me on after failure.

How was your experience with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
I didn't see Dr. Greene as much as I would have liked, but the consultations and treatment plan meetings were very useful. He never seemed rush and always took the time to explain things in detail and answer all of my questions. I always walked away feeling very armed with knowledge about what was next. He was also very responsive to email, but I found his in person responses most thorough. I most appreciated his EXTREMELY thorough understanding of the science and literature behind his treatment plans. He was very up to date on the most recent studies and always had something new to implement to improve his course of action. The one thing I would say that was frustrating about my experience was that Dr. Greene was extremely optimistic to the point where I felt like a freak case/failure when I didn't fall into the great success rates of the clinic. For example, he asked us how many children we would like to have (2-3) and he told us that he was very confident we would have at least 2 babies from one IVF cycle and each embryo transfer was about an 80% success rate. So, when I had 2 PGS tested embryos from round 1 fail, I felt like something was very wrong with me because I wasn't as successful as he made me feel like I would or should be be. On the other hand, in the midst of the treatment, his optimism was helpful and I always left his office excited and enthusiastic about the plan, so the optimism wasn't all bad!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
Know that even if Dr. Greene is very optimistic about the success rates of the clinic, failure does happen. Prepare your questions ahead of time to make sure you are able to remember what to ask in the limited meeting times.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
Although meets with Dr. Greene were few and far between, he was very warm and kind. He had a clear understanding of our history and how it was influencing our ability to succeed. When another doctor at CCRM dismissed atypical PCOS symptoms, Dr. Greene paid attention to them and had a different treatment plan.
Describe the protocols Robert Greene used in your cycles at Conceptions Reproductive Associates and their degree of success.
2 IUIs with letrazole- he used letrazole instead of clomid because he found better success rates for PCOS patients. (I had 3 failed clomid cycles at CCRM prior to coming to Conceptions).
1st IVF: antagonist protocol with menopur, gonalF, cetrotide, etc. 21 eggs resulting in 2PGS normal embryos.
FET 1: hormone replacement cycle (PIO, estrodial pills and patches, lupron). Intralipid infusion, resulted in chemical pregnancy
FET2: hormone replacement cycle as above with human growth hormone (omnitrope) added, resulted in negative
2nd IVF: antagonist, similar to first with increased doses of menopur and gonal F, added human growth hormone, 19 eggs retrieved, resulted in 5 PGS normal embryos!
ERA biopsy cycle with protocol from FET1, result was pre-receptive
Waiting for FET3
Describe your experience with your nurse at Conceptions Reproductive Associates. (Assigned nurse: Sarah E, Jessica R)
Sarah (egg retrieval nurse) and Jess (embryo transfer nurse) are great and both respond to emails very quickly and efficiently. They have been very compassionate and are continuing to cheer me on after failure. They always answer all of my questions (which is a lot). I have found that finding compassionate nurses in this field is actually quite difficult, so I really appreciate them. The only criticism I have about the nursing team as a whole is that if you need something on the weekend, it's hard to get help. There is an emergency line, but what about non-emergencies? A couple times I left a message with the emergency line but still didn't hear back until the week.
Describe your experience with Conceptions Reproductive Associates.
The clinic clearly has individualized treatment plans and you are not just treated with a blanket protocol. However, it is still easy to feel like a number at times when you don't interact with the Dr. very often at all. However, the nurse care and organization is very thorough. Sometimes it would just be nice to be assured that the Dr. reviewed the plan, etc. It is clear that the clinic is very busy and once you're ready to schedule a FET, tell your nurse immediately as dates can fill up. If you're on top of it, though, everything goes smoothly. It also seems like there is a long wait between egg retrieval and FET because they do hysteroscopy and doppler ultrasound in between. I'm not sure if this time can be shortened at all for people who are anxious to get going. As I stated before, getting help on weekends is quite difficult, but overall if you're on top of it and can anticipate questions/issues you might have before the weekend, things are OK.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates.
IUIs: <$1000 per cycle if I remember correctly
IVF 1 including 1 FET and PGS testing of all embryos: about $19,500 + $5000+ medications, additional $ for anesthesia, doppler ultrasound, hysteroscopy
FET2: $5100 + about $2500 in medications
IVF2 including 1 FET: about $16,000 + $8000+ medications + $2200 PGS embryo testing and ERA biopsy
Describe Robert Greene's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Conceptions Reproductive Associates.
Dr. Greene was adamant about single embryo transfer and he explained the risk of multiple pregnancies. He also reiterated the clinic's high success rates with single embryo transfers and said the large majority of patients use PGS testing. He did say if we really wanted to have twins, then we could talk and consider transferring 2.

After two failed cycles where I had 25% of my eggs mature on both cycles at retrieval, I never had any embryos make it to freeze...Dr. Greene told me that at 38 with secondary infertility my eggs were “dysmature” and suggested donor eggs. We were devastated...asked for a three day transfer. Dr. Green said no and told me that if my embryos wouldn’t make it in the lab, they would not make it in my uterus. My next clinic made blastocysts but then actually suggested freezing at day three for my final cycle. I’m currently pregnant with a day three embryo.
We spent $20k+ for the first retrieval and about $10k on the second retrieval plus $20k total on meds [at Conceptions Reproductive Associates]...advertises frozen embryo transfer success rates. This implies that you actually get an embryo from retrieval for transfer and is not indicative of per cycle success rates. I wish I had understood this when I was selecting my clinic. I would have skipped conceptions had I understood that point. For women like me with diminished ovarian reserve, embryos are hard to come by so their success rate assumes that you have made a quality embryo to transfer which never happened for me in their lab.

How was your experience with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
If you were young and have a very straightforward case, then he might be able to help you. If yours is more complicated like mine was, go to CCRM or a mini IVF clinic. After two failed cycles where I had 25% of my eggs mature on both cycles at retrieval, I never had any embryos make it to freeze.Dr. Greene told me that at 38 with secondary infertility my eggs were “dysmature” and suggested donor eggs. We were devastated. A friend suggested CCRM.
At 39, a year later, CCRM managed to get 100% of my eggs mature at retrieval by letting me follicles go larger than what Dr. Greene considers ideal and changing my protocol. We had success on our first transfer with CCRM and have three more embryos in the freezer.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
Realize he has a cookie cutter approach. If you don’t fit it, they will blame your eggs. If you are a complex case or need to go outside the box, go elsewhere. We have trouble making blastocyst, and asked for a three day transfer. Dr. Green said no and told me that if my embryos wouldn’t make it in the lab, they would not make it in my uterus. My next clinic made blastocysts but then actually suggested freezing at day three for my final cycle. I’m currently pregnant with a day three embryo.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
Dr. Greene is very personable.
Describe the protocols Robert Greene used in your cycles at Conceptions Reproductive Associates and their degree of success.
We did antagonist twice. If he had let me stim a day longer each time, we would have had more than 3 mature eggs between 2 cycles. At CCRM I had 19 mature eggs from 3 cycles. And I was a year older. Switching to microdose lupron flare at my next clinic was key for my body to produce lots of mature eggs.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Conceptions Reproductive Associates. (Assigned nurse: Lindsay )
Lindsay is wonderful. She is like a good friend.

How was your experience with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
He is very knowledgeable and acts like he truly cares. But the big weakness is. In order to get you to your goal he pushes IVF which is 30k through his practice. Spend money is his main push. No alternatives or different solutions. Just push that high dollar procedure. Even though a IUI worked just as well.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
Just be prepared to spend money if your insurance doesn't cover fertility. Conceptions are not cheap.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
The place is nice. He is caring and wants to get you there for a price. So they are kind to your needs and straight forward. But to get what you need it's check book numbers. 30 k for ivf when other states and countries are 1/3 of the price.
Describe the protocols Robert Greene used in your cycles at Conceptions Reproductive Associates and their degree of success.
He started off by ordering test to find out what we need to do. Analysis of my sperm and wife's area. By doing test, ultra sounds and scans, blood work. Looking for how many eggs and follicle health and size. Monitors the process from before IUI and after and during pregnancy. Then a year of half he starred with the IUI once my wife's tubes were not blocked as initially found in test. Unblocked by natural supplements that were not used by Dr Greene. Finally got pregnant on IUI 2 lost baby 7 weeks in. Dr Greene pushed for IVF from there.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Conceptions Reproductive Associates. (Assigned nurse: Kelis)
The nurses were great there. Kelis was very kind and straight to the point as well. The only down fall was they were rushed with the info. Like that had to go real quick. Talked real fast while providing information relayed from the Dr.
Describe your experience with Conceptions Reproductive Associates.
They helped get us to the point were a normal medical Dr would not have. They are knowledgable. Everything is in house except surgeries, convenient. Weaknesses are push high dollar procedures. They do zero natural remedies other then lose weight. As a new patient just expect to poked and prodded alot to get to the root of the problems. Also if you do not have coverage from insurance, expect to pay alot of money. Talking about thousands of dollars. We hit 30k and that's not including IVF. Just bunch of test, analysis, monitoring, ovarian drilling, polyp removal and 2 IUI's.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates.
Test and blood worked varied by insurance coverage. But alot of it wasn't covered by insurance so in rough 10k just on blood work and scans. IUI's cost 700 each time. Ovarian drilling polyp removal and hospital times was 15k. My wife was told weight loss would help and recommended gastric bypass. Which wasn't fertility but recommended by the Dr. Was additional 20k since alot of it wasn't covered by insurance. Fertility right around 30k not including IVF. Additional work recommended added another 25k totaling cost 55k.

Dr. Greene was friendly and took time to meet with us to discuss our options. We didn't feel rushed in the meetings. ... We did one IUI under Dr. Greene with letrozole. It did not yield a positive pregnancy test. ... We asked about all the diagnostic tests we would need to do, but he didn't recommend some because if there was an issue, he would just recommend IVF anyway.
Conceptions is 100% ICSI. They also tried to pressure us to do carrier testing on both partners and CCS of the embryos, by saying "99% of our patients do all of these." ... I think it is unfortunate that this clinic does not require a full diagnostic workup before they do any treatments. I feel we wasted 6+ months due to this and my polyps and blood flow issue that were not looked for and found.

How was your experience with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
We were and continue to be in the unexplained category. We asked about all the diagnostic tests we would need to do, but he didn't recommend some because if there was an issue, he would just recommend IVF anyway. However, we would prefer to have the entire workup done first to make that decision. Thus, we didn't get a full diagnostic workup before we did our first IUI and then almost started IVF at this clinic. Luckily, before starting IVF, we moved to a different clinic, who did a full workup which showed a couple minor issues. I really feel you need the entire picture before you waste your time and money on IUI or IVF, but that wasn't done here. I felt pressure to go the IVF route from the very first meeting, although I am young and have no major hurdles we are aware of yet.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
Ask for all possible diagnostics tests to be done before doing any procedures. I had two polyps that had to be removed, but that was found by my second doctor before my second IUI. If there is a possibility that these issues are lingering, why spend money and time on treatments without having a full picture of what could be an issue?
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
Dr. Greene was friendly and took time to meet with us to discuss our options. We didn't feel rushed in the meetings.
Describe the protocols Robert Greene used in your cycles at Conceptions Reproductive Associates and their degree of success.
We did one IUI under Dr. Greene with letrozole. It did not yield a positive pregnancy test.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Conceptions Reproductive Associates. (Assigned nurse: Calisse Cryer)
I had no issues with the Conceptions nursing staff. I did have much more cramping with my IUI at Conceptions versus my second clinic. I attribute this to the quality of the procedure done by the nurse.
Describe your experience with Conceptions Reproductive Associates.
I think it is unfortunate that this clinic does not require a full diagnostic workup before they do any treatments. I feel we wasted 6+ months due to this and my polyps and blood flow issue that were not looked for and found. They also claim to be there to tailor your fertility program to your specific wants and needs, but that was not the case with our preliminary IVF discussions. We did not want to do ICSI, at least on our first IVF cycle. We are young and don't have male factor. However, Conceptions is 100% ICSI. They also tried to pressure us to do carrier testing on both partners and CCS of the embryos, by saying "99% of our patients do all of these." This is the ultimate reason we left the clinic. Why have a 100% policy (like ICSI) when each patient's issues/wants are so different? We found a completely different atmosphere at our second clinic, where they allowed a completely tailored approach to our IVF protocol. We are very grateful the 100% ICSI policy pushed us to our new doctor and clinic.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
Dr Greene was very thorough in answering questions and explaining all steps of all processes to us. He was understanding when things didn't go the way we wanted them to and was sympathetic to that and was able to provide explanations. I really like his willingness to answer questions and to be available to answer questions outside of consultations.
Describe the protocols Robert Greene used in your cycles at Conceptions Reproductive Associates and their degree of success.
I had 2 rounds of treatment, after the first round we discovered an egg health issue that we did not know about previous to having embryos PGS tested. The first round did not include any extra medications, They retrieved 18 eggs, 13 were mature, 12 were fertilized. Only 3 made it to day 5 (previously unknown egg quality issue) and 3 were sent for PGS testing, 1 was deemed "normal" Grade AB. The second round of IVF protocol was similar with the addition of Omnitrope. They retrieved 13 eggs, 9 were mature, 8 were fertilized, 4 made it to day 5 and were frozen and sent for PGS testing, 3 came back "normal".

Dr. Greene explained the option thoroughly after evaluating our test results. He told us that he was more inclined to start the IVF process, but that IUI was also an option. When we decided to give IUI a shot, he never made us second guess ourselves. He is very personable and positive.... He is very easy to contact via email and responds quickly. One weakness I experienced was a lack of detail when it came to lab and test results.
The nursing staff is overall very compassionate and personable at Conceptions. You end up there so often, they start to recognize and remember details about you. The nurses are quick to respond to inquiries. Calisse is very professional and optimistic, but a little pushy about IVF.... A few times, we felt a little rushed in and out of the office. Overall, the staff takes every case very seriously and genuinely wishes to see success for the patients they treat.

How was your experience with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
Dr. Greene is very knowledgable and kind. He clearly explained our options, and once we chose an option, he delved into the details of the chosen path. He is very easy to contact via email and responds quickly. One weakness I experienced was a lack of detail when it came to lab and test results.

Describe the protocols Robert Greene used in your cycles at Conceptions Reproductive Associates and their degree of success.
With a less-than-cookie-cutter PCOS diagnosis, Dr. Green suggested IUI as intervention for our infertility. He prescribed Letrozole at 50mg for days 3-7, an hcg shot after a follicle was confirmed 18mm or larger, and progesterone taken twice a day after the IUI. The Letrozole was used to ensure ovulation, and I did successfully ovulate, a little earlier every month over 3 months of IUI treatment. My progesterone was tested after one week of use and Dr. Greene was satisfied with the levels. While the circumstances seemed favorable, the IUI was never successful.

Dr Greene was up front with options, but I have only seen him twice in the 2 years I’ve been treated at this facility. Once for intake consultation and once for my HSG test. I would rather see the actual Dr more.... I was allowed to have my first IUI when my husband’s sperm count was still very very low. I would have rather saved the money for the next cycle when his sperm count was higher (due to fertility drugs).
They [Conceptions Reproductive Associates] didn’t even bother billing my insurance for blood work insurance covers a portion of. They just billed me the cash payment and every single time I have to submit insurance billing myself.... o calculate my total cost so far would probably scare me. Each IUI treatment including ultrasounds and day 3 bloodwork got cash pay is about $1200. Other bloodwork I’ve been required to do about once a year range from $100-$200. The HSG test cost about $500.

Ask for everything you will be charged forup front. Ask about exactly what steps will be taken for treatment as far as how many IUIs will be done unsuccessfully before they will push IVF.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?

Describe your experience with your nurse at Conceptions Reproductive Associates. (Assigned nurse: Kalise)
She was thorough with the next steps after I went in on day one of cycle and let me know what would happen through the IUI cycle. The nurses did allow for me to have my first IUI cycle before my husband’s sperm count was at a high enough number.
Describe your experience with Conceptions Reproductive Associates.
I will be honest that my review may be bias to the fact I’ve had 3 unsuccessful IUIs. I know there is only so much a clinician can do when nature just isn’t working. If I could start from the beginning I would probably choose a different facility. I don’t feel like this facility is compassionate towards the cost of treatment.

How was your experience with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
We have actually begun the process of seeking IVF consultation twice now. We first met with Dr. Greene a couple of years ago and life happened, so we discontinued our appointments at that time. Fast forward two years and my wife and I are in a place where we were ready to pursue this as an option and remembered Dr. Greene and his team at Conceptions in Lafayette, CO. They did a great job of explaining the process, discussing possible issues, and making us feel like this was a common problem for couples to have. My wife and I are a bit younger than some others who are seeking this treatment – we are both in our early 30s – but they have been great at explaining to us some of the reasons, causes, and solutions to the issue we have had.
They have been very accommodating to our schedule, have followed up with us regarding appointments and testing as well as discussing payment options – this is an expensive process! After meeting Dr. Greene, we are excited to begin the process of working with Conceptions to conceive ourselves! I would highly recommend Conceptions in Lafayette, CO, Dr. Greene and his team of knowledgeable staff and nurses.

They have multiple facilities that you can choose between which is helpful; however, they are on the outside edges of Denver – there isn’t much that is centrally located which can make it difficult in scheduling appointments.
The team has been very helpful in scheduling, explaining the financial aspect, explaining the IVF and/or diagnostic process and has worked with our insurance to determine what we can get covered during this time. I would suggest to new patients to call your insurance yourself upfront to check the coverage that they offer – I work in healthcare so I understand some of the insurance lingo better than others, but it’s always great to have an idea of what will be covered before you walk in. Some will cover most of the process whereas others may only cover the initial diagnostic testing.
For the male side of testing, they do conduct a semen analysis at one of the sites. As a busy professional, this is pretty difficult to schedule as they one allow you to come by certain days of the week and the time window is pretty small. I really wish they had a little more flexibility with this portion of the testing.

Dr. Greene is a caring, patient physician. He has an amazing bedside manner, and I always felt like my case was important to him. He never rushed through appointments, and always took time to answer all of my questions. At time, pulling in his peers to help gain insight.... Dr. Greene advised us to do a fresh cycle, plus CCS screening. From that donor we ended up with 7 tested embryos. A chemical pregnancy resulted from the first transfer. For the second, we added an endometrial scratch and intralipid therapy. That transfer took, and I'm currently pregnant.
The donor egg team [at Conceptions Reproductive Associates] has 3 nurses, but I primarily worked with Cori. I absolutely adore these women. They have so much compassion, are quick to respond to questions and incredible patient. They really made a horrible diagnosis manageable.... In total, including the cost of donor eggs (one frozen cycle and one fresh) we spent around $75,000.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
Dr. Greene is a caring, patient physician. He has an amazing bedside manner, and I always felt like my case was important to him. He never rushed through appointments, and always took time to answer all of my questions. At time, pulling in his peers to help gain insight.
Describe the protocols Robert Greene used in your cycles at Conceptions Reproductive Associates and their degree of success.
Our first attempt, we used frozen donor eggs from an egg bank. This was a direction that our first doctor recommended. We only got one embryo from that cycle and it failed to implant. We decided to try again, and Dr. Greene advised us to do a fresh cycle, plus CCS screening. From that donor we ended up with 7 tested embryos. A chemical pregnancy resulted from the first transfer. For the second, we added an endometrial scratch and intralipid therapy. That transfer took, and I'm currently pregnant.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Conceptions Reproductive Associates. (Assigned nurse: Cori Silverman)
The donor egg team has 3 nurses, but I primarily worked with Cori. I absolutely adore these women. They have so much compassion, are quick to respond to questions and incredible patient. They really made a horrible diagnosis manageable.
Describe your experience with Conceptions Reproductive Associates.
I couldn't praise Dr. Greene or the nursing team i worked with enough. I had a few hiccups with the billing department, but they were all quickly resolved. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Greene and his team.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates.
In total, including the cost of donor eggs (one frozen cycle and one fresh) we spent around $75,000.
Describe Robert Greene's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Conceptions Reproductive Associates.
Dr. Greene really preferred transferring one embryo. I think had I really wanted to transfer two he would have, but they really prefer one.

How was your experience with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
He always has a smile for his patients. He's great at putting you at ease. He and his wife have been through IVF so he knows what the process is like as a patient and provider. He's trained in some practices not every else is, which was great when we hit a specific road block with a cyst, and he had no problem aspirating it to save our cycle. I saw him at all the big visits, knew he looked over my chart and test results to determine next day's protocol, and he encouraged us to email him directly if we had questions.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
Ask all the questions you can and he will give you all the answers he can. And if he can't provide an answer, he will find it. I never felt like he talked down to me with all my questions.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
Dr. Greene took time to meet me and my husband when our first doctor left the practice. He was kind, very educated, blunt but not to the point of rudeness, encouraged us to reach out to him via email if he couldn't be reached by phone, and explained why he was making changes to a protocol for better success.
Describe the protocols Robert Greene used in your cycles at Conceptions Reproductive Associates and their degree of success.
I had two cancelled retrieval cycles before I saw Dr. Greene. One was cancelled due to a cyst and another because I over-stimmed and ovulated. Dr. Green assured me that should either of these happen again he would be able to help, especially with a cyst since he was familiar with aspirating them (which did indeed happen - he aspirated my ovarian cyst in a quick outpatient procedure and saved my third retrieval cycle).
For my successful retrieval with Dr. Greene, I was on NuvaRing, Cetrotide, Gonal F, Lupron, Pregnyl, and Menopur.
We had 19 eggs, 16 were mature, 12 fertilized, 7 made it to day 5, and 6 passed PGS testing as normal.
For the transfer phase, I was on Pregnyl, progesterone in oil, Estrace, Vivelle, and Lupron.
The first transfer was a success and I'm now pregnant, due in November 2017.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Conceptions Reproductive Associates. (Assigned nurse: Erika Peksens & Tanya Sarver)
I can't speak highly enough about the nursing staff. There is one staff for the retrieval phase and one for the transfer. Every single one of them is competent, well organized, compassionate, and very knowledgeable.
Describe Robert Greene's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Conceptions Reproductive Associates.
He believed, and I think their practice follows this belief, that if you are under 35 and healthy they will only transfer one embryo. Maybe two if there is an extenuating circumstance. They only routinely discuss transferring two if you are over 35 or have a history of recurrent miscarriages. I don't think the every transfer more than two.

Dr. Greene (and his entire staff) [Conceptions Reproductive Associates] was very personable. He actually sat and listened to every single question and went into so much detail when answering. We could call/email with any questions, any time. Still to this day!! He treated MY specific needs due to previous medical history and did everything to make sure our cycle worked ... He listened to our wants/needs/worries. And gave us facts as to why this happened or what causes these things to happen. We had a mix up with moving to our OB and Dr. Greene helped us even though we were no longer in his care.
Even down to the receptionist, everyone [Conceptions Reproductive Associates] welcomed me with open arms! Showed compassion, excitement and truly sympathized with me along the way! I cried when I graduated to a regular OB office. And the staff (care of Dr. Greene) gave me a parting gift! ... I emailed my nurse almost daily asking questions! And she was always so prompt to respond! She even emailed checking in on me if she hadn’t heard from me! ... For me monitoring was always convenient!

Dr. Greene was beyond amazing. He listened to our wants/needs/worries. And gave us facts as to why this happened or what causes these things to happen. We had a mix up with moving to our OB and Dr. Greene helped us even though we were no longer in his care. He truly seemed to care about our family. I met with another dr briefly and he was so cold. Dr. Greene knew us and was always happy to see me and my husband! Simply amazing

Describe the protocols Robert Greene used in your cycles at Conceptions Reproductive Associates and their degree of success.
Unfortunately I don’t recall all the meds or dosages.
We did Intralipids before my cycle due to previous history. When I scheduled, the staff said it was necessary, as it’s rarely done. However Dr. Greene insisted and the staff was very helpful to get me an appointment!

Describe Robert Greene's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Conceptions Reproductive Associates.
Dr. Greene felt it was safest for me to transfer 1 embryo. And better odds of the embryo sticking! He said if we REALLY wants twins he would be ok to transfer 2, but strongly felt confident in 1! And we trusted everything he said!

Dr. Greene is so personable. He will even go above and beyond to communicate with you via email on a regular basis. No complaints yet! He makes both spouses feel so comfortable. He explains everything very well... I've only just begun my IVF process and just starting the stimming meds. I have had only good experiences with my doctor and nurse at my clinic. I am very hopeful for success. I have PCOS and husband has MFI.
The first fertility evaluation [at Conceptions Reproductive Associates] was $675 plus his blood work was $240 and mine was $420. Then paid $980 for IVF class. Then paid $17,354 for the rest/majority of IVF process and procedures. That includes PGS. Stim meds cost $4,000 , $400 for retrieval anesthesia, and $870 for trial transfer.... All the employees I have ever encountered have been more than helpful and so friendly. I plan on continuing my IVF process at this clinic. My nurse and doctor are both amazing!

Dr Greene was very familiar with my case right when I walked in- I could tell he had read it before I arrived and that was reassuring. He asked a lot of questions and gave us several options and helped us understand everything thoroughly before we parted. We never felt rushed and he answered any questions that arose after our meeting very promptly... we used 50 mg of Clomid for the first 4 IUIs and an ovulation predictor kit. For our last IUI we used a trigger shot and ultrasound to be more accurate. I was also taking herbal supplements that he recommended and prenatals to help egg health
The only weakness was the overall first impression. The staff [Conceptions Reproductive Associates] is great but the decor is dated and doesn't reflect the "state of the art" technology they are using. Also, there were 2 employees smoking in the parking lot when I pulled up which seemed very contradictory to everything somehow... IUIs and testing were less expensive than my own doctors- IUIs were $350ish. IVF all in would be 25-35k per round

We received a change in protocol [from Conceptions], but only through voicemail. I strongly believe that if there is a change in protocol there needs to be voice recognition of that change. Because of a problem with my phone, I did not receive the protocol change until a week later.

From the first day I met [Dr. Robert Greene] we felt welcomed and important. Not only from him, but from the entire team at Conceptions. Right away I felt like I was in the best hands possible for this trying time in life. They immediately built a trusting relationship with us, and because of never having to doubt their recommendations, we were able to move through the difficult process with a little more peace of mind.
All the nurses (who you will work closely with [at Conceptions]) always had answers to my questions, explained what was happening and why, and never made me feel like I was bothering them or asking dumb questions. As a stickler for good communication, I have to say the communication and organizational skills are top notch at this clinic. I am so impressed with the behind the scenes cross-team collaboration that must take place because everyone, from reception to doctors, to nurses, to physician assistants, they all knew what was going on with me at any given time, and I can only assume the same for every patient. I never had to repeat my story, or give an update where I was in my process, everyone just knew.

He [Dr. Greene] was always personable and knew what our situation was The group has a lot of patients so I can see how you can feel like a number but the staff is great... he recommended only transferring one because of risks with multiples and we listened... We went to him in April, started the process in late May, and I'm currently 7w2d pregnant with my first. The nursing staff has been great and it's been as smooth of a process as this can be (knowing this is never a smooth process)
one of the best success rates in the country, very professional staff [Conceptions Reproductive Associates], organized. Downsides: it's so large so you don't see your doctor as much and switch nurses through every section- so that can be good or bad if you like your nurse or not. We were fortunately successful on our first round.... there was confusion between one pharmacy and if they got the prescription or not so it took a few phone calls between the two.

Dr. Greene was so knowledgable, he is very thorough and always answered all of my questions without hesitation. If I asked him something or for something and his answer was no, he provided me with concrete evidence as to why the answer is no. ... He was able to convince me to try again and changed my protocol to higher doses of stimulating medications and also primed me with estrogen and human growth hormone which was a total game changer.
I feel that the nursing communication was the hardest part about dealing with Conceptions. ... I was able to get in quickly for a new appointment and had minimal issues getting in for follow ups. They were very flexible during my retrieval and needing to have special timed appointments. I absolutely love Sonja the ultrasound tech and Daquiri and her partner (can't remember name). I loved Malissa and Lindsey the front desk girls. They kept things seamless and smooth for me.

Dr. Greene was so knowledgable, he is very thorough and always answered all of my questions without hesitation. If I asked him something or for something and his answer was no, he provided me with concrete evidence as to why the answer is no. I often emailed him and asked for his opinion or advice on something and he got back to me very quickly

You're making the right choice. He is in my opinion the best doctor out there for infertility treatment.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Robert Greene at Conceptions Reproductive Associates?
Dr. Green is one of the most compassionate and understanding people I have ever met in my life, let alone a doctor. He has held my hand during our meetings with him because I was so absolutely terrified and he always offers the most heartfelt advice. He truly cares about his patients and your results.
Describe the protocols Robert Greene used in your cycles at Conceptions Reproductive Associates and their degree of success.
My first egg retrieval left us with zero embryos due to poor egg quality. He was able to convince me to try again and changed my protocol to higher doses of stimulating medications and also primed me with estrogen and human growth hormone which was a total game changer. We walked away with three embryos, two euploid and I am currently pregnant.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Conceptions Reproductive Associates. (Assigned nurse: Veronica)
I feel that the nursing communication was the hardest part about dealing with Conceptions. The doctors were great, the ultrasound technician and phlebotomist were great but I did struggle with the nurses. The way Conceptions is set up is that you communicate solely with your nurse and they are the ones that decide whether or not to contact the doctor or follow their protocols. I struggled with this because I wanted to know that the actual doctor was driving my care and not a nurse. It felt a bit that I was overlooked as a patient in these times but it all ended up working out. They do know what they are doing after all but it was hard for me to trust that.

We went straight to IVF after the infertility diagnosis. My Fallopian tubes are occluded bilaterally and the only option for treatment was IVF. He [Dr. Robert Greene] explained that surgery could happen for me, but most insurance doesn’t cover it, I would have to wait to see if the surgery was even successful, and most women have to do IVF anyway. I did research and he was right. I don’t remember the exact protocols used, but during egg retrieval Dr. Greene monitored my follicle growth throughout and did have to make adjustments to my meds
For me, I felt that the staff [at Conceptions Reproductive Associates- Lafayette] was very knowledgeable and organized. I just had to trust that they knew what they were doing, and they did. The one thing that was difficult for me was transferring my care to multiple different nurses depending on the cycle. It made sense that certain nurses were experts on different parts of the treatment, but it was a challenge transferring care so many times.

Although I didn’t see him often, he was very warm and friendly. He kept me optimistic and positive. He also was sure to share information and make sure I understood my treatment.

Dr. Greene kept it real with me throughout treatment. In the beginning I was not willing to accept IVF as the appropriate treatment for my diagnosis. Dr. Greene told me the facts and let me take the time to do any additional research that I needed to ultimately make my desicion. He was very warm and positive throughout!

This was successful as 19 follicles were retrieved. As for FET, we only had to transfer one embryo one time for a successful live birth.

Describe Robert Greene's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Conceptions Reproductive Associates.
Dr. Greene explained the rationale for transferring a single embryo, but he still let us make that decision for ourselves. He presented us with facts and let us discuss what we felt was right for our family.
