Robert Homm

Dr Homm was very kind and positive. He also was very flexible and willing to change his schedule around to accommodate whatever would increase chances of success. Initially I was scheduled for one date for retrieval, however, my body responded super quick so he rearranged to move my surgery up by a week. This would result in a weekend transfer which he was willing to do despite the fact they would be closed.

Ask questions. He is more than willing to answer, so don’t shy away from doing so.

Dr Homm was very kind and positive. He made me feel at ease during all procedures.

My first cycle: I was placed on 3 vials of menopur per night but later decreased to 2. I was prescribed estrogen tablets as well as estrogen gel. This was a frozen cycle so i began progesterone suppositories prior to transfer. Second cycle: i was prescribed 3 vials of Menopur per night. My body responded well but I did not decrease this time. My follies were growing extremely fast so my retrieval had to be moved up. I was a tad concerned I did not decrease (due to the growth rate) and unfortunately during retrieval, many had overmatured. I began progesterone in oil injections the night of retrieval. I was not prescribed estrogen tabs this time, but was prescribed the gel. However, i began the gel 3 days prior to retrieval so with the retrieval being pushed up, I am not sure if my body had enough time to respond before transfer. This part was out of anyone’s control.

Dr Devine was very warm mannered and always took time to answer questions. I tend to worry and she was very reassuring.

They are very timely in returning calls and try their best to accommodate schedules. The office staff are very friendly and actually remember you, which is nice. They remember things about our families, workplace and etc which make you feel as though they really care. On some occasions they are short staffed and the wait can be a bit longer than expected.

Monitoring appointments were easily scheduled. They were able to work with our schedules.

My fresh transfer cost a little over $4000 and my frozen cost a bit over $10000. They do a “Heros Discount” for servicmen/women, so we took advantage of that. I remember ICSI cost appx $1K, thawing (for frozen embryos) cost appx $250, assisted hatching cost appx $450.

Dr Homm doesn't have the best bedside manor, but that's why I usually see Dr Divine in the office. Dr Homm does seem to be very knowledgeable and he did manage to give me the baby I wanted. I've not been as successful at having a second, though.

Know that though his demeanor can seem somewhat off putting, he's still a good doctor. If bedside manor is important to you, see Dr Divine for your visits.

I mostly saw Dr Divine while under the care of their office and I loved her. I really only dealt with Dr Homm during actual procedures. He did make me feel comfortable during those, though.

I do not have a good memory for these types of things. I do not recall the specific meds that I was on for the original IVF cycle. I just know that there were injections and pills and creams. The retrieval surgery was done under general anesthesia. Then more meds to build my lining, and the transfer was done in the office. I also had a lap and D&C before we started, after a uterine fibroid was found. That was when I was also diagnosed with endometriosis. My two subsequent unsuccessful FETs included Lupron injections (I don't think that I used this for the original cycle), estrogen pills and gel, antibiotics, steroids, and crinone vaginal cream. The transfers both also took place in the office. They thawed the frozen embryos that morning I believe, made sure they expanded, and then implanted them. There were always ultrasounds done before each transfer was scheduled to check the uterus and ovaries, and then another one done a week before transfer to check the lining. Nothing was done after each failure. We still have one more embryo to transfer, and I was advised at my last appointment that they've started to also include a uterine "scrape" before each transfer now. It's a procedure done in the office that's like a mini D&C, to increase the likelihood that the embryo will stick. But I haven't had that procedure previously.

They are all very friendly and compassionate, and they all seem to have a real connection with their patients, or at least with me.

The only weakness I've found has to do with billing. They switched systems, and started sending me a bill for $120, when I know that I paid in full up front, because they required me to. They can't tell me what the bill is for, because it's from their old system and they can't look it up. Other than that, I've never had a problem with anyone there.

The original IVF cycle cost us around $20,000 including the meds and the ICSI procedure.

My expierence with Dr Homm was always great. We sat down in our first meeting together for hours talking about history. At first I was a little hurt with him discussing my weight as an issue but came to the conclusion he was only trying to help me get the results I wanted. Being as healthy as possible to have the a healthy pregnancy. He was willing to listen to my concerns and take them in to consideration.

He is very knowledgeable. He will be very honest but don’t take offense he is just trying to help. He knows what he is doing

I always felt as if they cared about my overall care not just my money. I struggled with my weight and we had long discussions about if I got healthy I could have a healthy pregnancy. I’m now down50lbs and wanting to try IVF. I have worked to hard to give up now.

Dr homm used times intercourse at first with the use of femara. I responded well but no success with IUI. I decided to take a break and focus on my health and weight loss. Now after losing 50lbs I’m ready to begin more aggressive treatment

Dr Homms assistant was always compassionate. Would answer any questions or concerns and also tried to make you feel as comfortable as possible even when your nervous as can be. Would always give a shoulder to cry on when you need it.

Weakness would be trying to schedule a quick appointment sometimes it was hard. Also no appointments on the weekends. Strengths- good patient care. Trustworthy. Knowledgeable Dr homm and Dr Devine are a great team. They work together to figure out your personal treatment plan and will do whatever it takes to make you comfortable. It’s very hard to deal with unexplained infertility especially when you have had one child. There are many fears going through this process but these doctors do everything they can to make you comfortable and feeling like your dreams can come true.

$300 for IUI procedure not counting the cost of medicine

He is very knowledgeable he cared about me and my husband and tried everything to give us a live birth

Listen to what he tells you and ty your best to follow his instructions

Everyone in the office treated me like I was the only person there. There cared about me and my husbands feelings and the feelings of other patients there.

I love everyone in this office they are all so caring and want the best outcome for all of their patients

I really like how both the male and female offices are right beside each other so you can go to one location to get everything done that needs to be.

It was more expensive then others in this area but he can so highly recommended to us it was worth it
