I also wasn't crazy about Dr. Babayev recommending at least 6 IUIs. Other clinics will not do more than 3. I feel like he just keeps churning you through the process. I also feel like they don't really push for you to have a successful result. There is a goal of pregnancy with fertility and you pay a lot of money and I didn't feel any urgency with him to get us there. He is also very very conservative in his approach which can be good, but after a couple of rounds I needed something more. I felt like we would never get there with his guidance.
UTSW is a teaching hospital and it became very clear that this was an area I didn't want them learning on me... I needed to move on and get results. The Billing office is also terrible. I had to make about a dozen calls and still waiting to get issues resolved. They charge you for the cycle upfront (insurance doesn't cover).. then, it goes to insurance because apparently their system sends everything through insurance... even if insurance would cover some of the testing it doesn't matter because it's all or none.

How was your experience with Samir Babayev at UT Southwestern?
Dr. Babayev is knowledgeable, however, I feel that he really limited me. Based purely on my first AMH test, he first told me that it appeared I had no eggs left, have no chance, should look into an egg donor, etc. When he finally did an ultrasound he found that was not the case at all. It was very frustrating in the meantime. Even afterwards, he decided that I have low ovarian reserve and would not be a good candidate for IVF. I have since had other opinions that are the exact opposite and my treatment has also proven so.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Samir Babayev at UT Southwestern?
Push for more answers. Push for what you want.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Samir Babayev at UT Southwestern?
At least 3 or 4 times I got misinformation or instructions. When I talked to Dr. Babayev about one of these instances, he told me that they process 20-25 patients a day and don't remember all of the details (basically). In this particular instance, I had talked to one of the Fellows, Dr. Babayev himself, and another Fellow that did my scan that day about my situation and timing, and she still sent me wrong instructions and then didn't follow up.
A different Fellow or nurse can call you each time, so there is no consistency and that can lead to mistakes and oversights.
Describe the protocols Samir Babayev used in your cycles at UT Southwestern and their degree of success.
I went through 2 IUI cycles with Dr. Babayev and team.
For my 1st, he started me on 37.5 iu of menopur. This resulted in basically nothing happening and after 5 days increased my dose to 75iu. I had 1 mature follicle before trigger.
For my 2nd IUI, he had me on 75 iu for 10 days and resulted in 2 mature follicles.
Both resulted in negative pregnancy tests.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nurse that I originally met and taught me how to do the injections - I believe her name was Babitha - was very nice and caring. I talked to several different nurses along the way and it honestly seemed like they were clueless. In my last round, I had to push the nurse for what was supposed to happen.... she gave me wrong instructions and kept insisting. They are unfamiliar with your particular case since it's always someone different.
Describe your experience with UT Southwestern.
Strengths - it's cheaper than others (IUIs were $1050 instead of $2100 at my current clinic)
Weaknesses - the amount of people involved and rotating through. At any point you would deal with Dr. Babayev, any of his 3 Fellows, any of the many nurses, have residents in the room during your procedures. There were 3 instances where I was given wrong information and I had to correct them. UTSW is a teaching hospital and it became very clear that this was an area I didn't want them learning on me... I needed to move on and get results.
The Billing office is also terrible. I had to make about a dozen calls and still waiting to get issues resolved. They charge you for the cycle upfront (insurance doesn't cover).. then, it goes to insurance because apparently their system sends everything through insurance... even if insurance would cover some of the testing it doesn't matter because it's all or none. Then they sent me statements with the remainder. All of which I had already paid for upfront. Nothing was done to remedy this and I called and talked to the financial counselor, her manager, the billing department, their manager.. and still waiting on resolution. It's a horrible process.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Samir Babayev at UT Southwestern.
The IUI cycle, including monitoring ultrasounds, labs and the actual procedure (without meds) was $1050 out of pocket.

Unfortunately, he [Dr. Samir Babayev] went through the motions of consent, etc. and failed to even look at ultrasound results that the nurse discovered after our appointment with him, which ended up in us postponing everything. Thankfully his nurse was observant or we would have missed this...did a great job explaining everything, but some of his explanations were a little over my husband's (who does not work in the medical field like myself) head. Dr. Babayev was on time to all of our appointments and was friendly, but not necessarily warm/comforting.
The nursing staff here [at Mayo Clinic- Rochester] is nothing short of amazing. They have all answered my sometimes multiple questions each day via patient portal with compassion. They are very quick to update my plan of care and are always on top of everything...The entire IVF process (monitoring via labs/US, ICSI, embryo storage, retrieval, and transfer) was $14,000 - this did not include medications or any appointments prior...Although Mayo is a large company, the REI department is very small and easy to find. Thankfully everything is done in the same location for all visits. The only thing that bothered me was that they really push for you to utilize their pharmacy for medications which was nearly double the cost of medications from other pharmacies.

Dr. Babayev did a great job explaining everything, but some of his explanations were a little over my husband's (who does not work in the medical field like myself) head. Dr. Babayev was on time to all of our appointments and was friendly, but not necessarily warm/comforting.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Samir Babayev at Mayo Clinic?
Be sure to ask questions if you do not understand. Dr. Babayev used a lot of medical lingo that we hadn't necessarily heard before when visiting with other doctors.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Samir Babayev at Mayo Clinic?
We went into the appointment with an open mind as he was new to the facility, but had not seen any doctors that we really didn't like at this point. Unfortunately, he went through the motions of consent, etc. and failed to even look at ultrasound results that the nurse discovered after our appointment with him, which ended up in us postponing everything. Thankfully his nurse was observant or we would have missed this.
Describe the protocols Samir Babayev used in your cycles at Mayo Clinic and their degree of success.
Dr. Babayev started us on an antagonist protocol based off of my age (<30) and diagnosis of unexplained infertility. I was prescribed Gonal F (250mcg for elevated FSH), Menopur (75u), Ganirelix (250mcg), & hCG (10,000 u).

We were hopeful to transfer multiple embryos if possible due to my young age, lack of pregnancies for 2 years, unexplained infertility, and no other health concerns but Dr. Babayev was very against this.

How was your experience with Samir Babayev at UT Southwestern?
Dr.Babayev was a god-send for us! He’s definitely the best doctor I have ever met. Not only is he extremely competent and knowledgeable, he is very patient and warm. He has excellent bed-side manners and always cracks goofy jokes before a procedure to calm you down! I felt like he was quite involved in the process with us as we overcame every fertility associated challenge. IVF is a very stressful process in itself and without Dr. Babayev we might have given up too soon. He kept us motivated while being very realistic. I definitely miss him..now that we have been transferred to an ob/gyn.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Samir Babayev at UT Southwestern?
Be patient with the staff. Sometimes you might not get your instructions/prescriptions on time.. but it all works out at the end.

Describe the protocols Samir Babayev used in your cycles at UT Southwestern and their degree of success.
I was diagonosed with severely diminished ovarian reserve for my age. Dr. Babayev initially recommended mini-IVF for us. The insurance however did not approve and recommended full IVF. So, Dr. Babayev went ahead with 2 full IVF cycles. These two cycles did not produce desirable results. We did a fresh transfer with the first cycle which did not work. The second cycle did not produce any viable embryos.
Dr. Babayev then moved onto mini-IVF. We did two cycles which were both successful. We transferred 2 frozen embryos and I am now 12 weeks pregnant with one.

Describe your experience with UT Southwestern.
Strengths - costs lesser then other clinics.
Its a teaching facility so there’s always a few residents and fellows around, so you get supported even when the doctor is not available.
This was the only fertility clinic I ever went to so I cannot compare it to others. I did not have any major problems. I would recommend a new patient to educate themselves about their condition and recommended treatment and be on top of it.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Samir Babayev at UT Southwestern.
The treatment was covered by insurance. We paid for medication for 3 out of the 4 cycles and then for the transfer medication.

Due to my age and AMH/FSH levels. [Dr. Samir] Babayev suggested I go straight to mini-IVF. However, I started with an IUI as I originally thought IVF was not covered under my insurance. The IUI was a negative pregnancy test. Per Babayev initial recommendation, I am now doing my first treatment of mini-ivf with 100mg of clomid daily and then Menopur and Cetrotide injections. I have been on clomid for like 5 days now and will start injections tonight. Again, mini IVF was chosen b/c of my age, AMH and FSH. I also have only have about 3-4 total antral follicles during my scans.
I chose clinic b/c UTSW is a trusted facility and the online reviews were positive. Weakness, navigating the insurance and pharmacies is a full time job and clinic told me they would help but I have spent countless hours on phone with insurance and pharmacy by myself. I tried for weeks to get ahold of finance guy who never returned my call. I am not even sure if he still works there even though the front desk staff assured me that were forwarding my messages. When asking for help with all of the conflicting information from insurance, clinic told me that "it's confusing for us too". Which is unacceptable as they have helped countless patients in past. They should not be just as confused as I am. The whole process or pre-authorization for treatments and medications has been a nightmare.

How was your experience with Samir Babayev at UT Southwestern?
Overall, Dr. Babayev has a pleasant and patient personality which helps to soothe the stress during treatments. I did somewhat feel as though I was being taken through a sales presentation during my initial consultation b/c he still wanted to talk about my odds if I used a donor egg even though I told him donor eggs were a definite no as soon as I sat down to speak with him. I had some issues with the clinic and Dr. Babayev was responsive and apologetic and assured me that things would be resolved. Also as I mentioned in one question, I don't see him often. I spoke with him during initial consult, he helped another doctor perform my IUI and finally I spoke to him after a complaint with staff. It would help to build patient confidence if Babayev at least peaked in the room to say hello during some of the scans and labs.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Samir Babayev at UT Southwestern?
Advocate for yourself. If you are not interested in a treatment option they suggestion then advocate. Do not be coerced into treatments that you are not ready for. Wheter they be donor eggs are skipping IUI and moving to IVF. Of course listen to doctor but at end of day, it's your decision. And do your own reading and research so that you are not coming into the conversations with no background information.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Samir Babayev at UT Southwestern?
My initial consultation with Samir was thorough and he made sure I understood what my options were given my specific scenario. He listened and had a good bedside manner. The only room for improvement would to see him more often during the labs and sonos. I typically only see the assisting doctors.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
They were a few nurses down at times so response time was not as timely was i would have liked. I have also been going through circles with my provider and pharmacy and was told finance would help me navigate but instead the nurses have been helping. They have been somewhat helpful but when it comes to insurance there needs to be clearer guidance

Describe Samir Babayev's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at UT Southwestern.
I don't recall him speaking on an approach. I did ask if I would do a retrieval after first cycle and he mentioned that i would likely not produce many eggs in a cycle and his goal was to try to collect 7-8 eggs after a few cycles.

Dr. Babayev met me initially with hesitation on my end. He took the time to explain everything to me and why I was a candidate for IVF. I had never imagined I would be a patient that needed assistance with having anther child since I had a child before. He was very nice, respectful and personable. ... eSET was suggested for me due to the grade of my embryos and he always put the health of my future baby and myself when considering number of embryos to transfer.
UTSW Fertility clinic from the check in to the check out was amazing. They always knew my name and treated me with optimism every time they saw me. No matter if I was coming for just labs or full visits, the MA, nurses, residents and fellow were patient and personable. ... When my negative result happen after my first FET the clinical team was nice enough to call me with my results and and set me up with a follow up plan appt in order to explain things to me more in person and ask me what I would like to do next.

I went through 2 IUIs using clomid and letrezole, one for each round [with Dr. Babayev] Neither of these drugs gave us the result we wanted so we discuss further options. We then did IVF. We did two frozen transfers. The first did not take but the second did!...took time to meet with us in person and discuss treatment options and explained the processes. After failed attempts at getting pregnant we rediscussed options and he was very helpful and knowledgeable about what choices we should make. He was a cheerleader for us and always greeted us with a smile and was willing to answer any and all questions.
IVF with ICSI was about $10,000 [at UT Southwestern]...Overall I had a great experience at the clinic with the office staff, nurses, fellows and Dr. Babayev. My only frustration was communication between all parts sometimes fell through so you had to follow up sometimes but overall the clinic was accommodating and supportive of our treatment...Allison was my favorite nurse. She was so supportive and was a huge cheerleader for us. She took great care of us!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Babayev. Our situation was very unique with an uncertain outlook, and he developed a customized approach to every step of our process... He is very knowledgeable in his field and doesn't do unnecessary tests/procedures that hasn't been proven to work. He is easy to work with and responds incredibly fast to all my messages and phone calls...I’m almost 34 years old, but the functions of my ovaries is over 45 years old. All the hormones are not balanced and it’s very hard to predict the time of ovulation. Tried 1 time only 5 eggs were retrieved. So I took the change to only transfer one egg… They did it at the first shot!! Many thanks to Dr. Babayev. And I will be trying again for the second baby.
