I went in for a consultation, after that my husband and I had blood work done and an internal ultrasound to see follicals and overies and he had his semen analysis done.

I went back in after that to have a sonohystasonogram to make sure my uterus was in great shape to carry a child threw IVF, it was and now that is where we are in our story.

Stephanie Singleton Fertility Center of Charleston

Dr Singleton was great. She was really friendly and warm. She fully explained out hurdles and offered a treatment plan...It was clear through our initial test results that only one course of action made sense- IVF with ICSI. We wanted to explore our options a little further, but Dr. Singleton didn’t think anything else would work...

We were referred to this clinic’s [Fertility Center of Charleston] Savannah office and thought our care would take place there. We were surprised to learn that almost everything occurs out of Charleston. All we did in Savannah was drop off semen samples. It was a very beautiful clinic and was easy to get to. The Savannah office is on an upper floor of the hospital. It’s a little awkward to take a “sample” all the way there.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Stephanie Singleton at Fertility Center of Charleston?

Be prepared to ask questions you have for her when you go into the office.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Stephanie Singleton at Fertility Center of Charleston?

While at the clinic, I felt like a human. They do a lot of follow up via phone or email with a nurse. That’s when I started to feel more like a number. I was assigned a nurse who knew my case, but often someone else would get back to me with questions/concerns.

Describe the protocols Stephanie Singleton used in your cycles at Fertility Center of Charleston and their degree of success.

I have PCOS and my husband has a low count. I was put on metformin immediately and my husband was sent to a urologist. Both of these were “bandaids”. It was clear through our initial test results that only one course of action made sense- IVF with ICSI. We wanted to explore our options a little further, but Dr. Singleton didn’t think anything else would work. She said it was up to us, but if we were really going to invest our money and time, it made the most sense not to waste it trying anything else. We haven’t proceeded with IVF yet, but expect to later this year.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Fertility Center of Charleston. (Assigned nurse: Karla)

I had some trouble getting in contact with my assigned nurse. I was also having some trouble with the full dosage of the Metformin, but they encouraged me to keep at it if I could.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Stephanie Singleton at Fertility Center of Charleston.

I paid for most of the services upfront, then they would bill our insurance. We were quoted $13000 for the first cycle/transfer of IVF (w/o ICSI) plus the medications, which were quoted as a range. I tried to get the names of these medications to check insurance coverage/pricing and was told they couldn’t tell me (by nursing staff). They sent me a refund check about 6 months after my last appointment for services I paid for but my insurance covered.

Stephanie Singleton Fertility Center of Charleston

Come prepared with your questions and anything you might want to try. You will see Dr. Singleton rarely during your cycle so ask when you have the chance...My first protocol was very aggressive and I was non-responsive. The next cycle she switched the protocol to micro Lupron dose with Gonal-F which worked better for me. I asked to add in HGH which she shot down...We did a second banking retrieval in the hopes of getting more than my single embryo from the previous round. They wanted us to transfer 2-3 but in the end we only ended up with one embryo so we couldn’t do the multiple transfer as suggested.

They [staff at Fertility Center of Charleston] wanted us to transfer 2-3 but in the end we only ended up with one embryo so we couldn’t do the multiple transfer as suggested...I really have nothing bad to say about the clinic. I felt very comfortable there. We’re switching clinics only because I’ve not gotten pregnant and have to try something new. They’re also busy...You may wait for your appt but that’s actually pretty rare especially early in the morning.

How was your experience with Stephanie Singleton at Fertility Center of Charleston?

Dr Singleton is really great, and I felt confident in her approaches. She is very firm on her protocols and wasn’t really into incorporating any of my suggestions which was ok since I’m not the professional.

I honestly couldn’t say one negative thing. It was beautiful. It was a comfortable environment. Everyone was so pleasant. I left ready to take the next step. Dr Singleton explained in detail every thing that she would be doing to complete IUI. The nurses repeatedly made sure I understood all instructions and never once was there not a smile on their face.

Review of

Stephanie Singleton Fertility Center of Charleston

I love everything about the clinic [Fertility Center of Charleston]. It is clean and welcoming (both in Savannah and Charleston). The only weakness I can think of is sometimes you have to wait a while if you are visiting the primary location in Charleston.... I love both of my nursing care coordinators as well as the rest of the staff! Everyone is always so nice and never makes you feel like you are crazy when you inevitably ask the same question for the 15th time. Plus they are always easy to get in touch with and always respond within 24 hours.

How was your experience with Stephanie Singleton at Fertility Center of Charleston?

I would likely not be alive if not for Dr. Singleton. During my first (and only) egg retrieval she could not get to my right ovary and most of my left ovary without puncturing my bowels. As a result she sent me for a GI consult and during surgery it was discovered my endometriosis was eating through my colon. Had this not been discovered there is not telling what would have happened. I may not like the answers she gives me (such as I don't recommend an egg retrieval with your newly discovered clotting disease, I would prefer you use donor eggs for your safety), but she has always been honest about my chances and what to expect. While I am only focusing on getting pregnant, she makes sure to also focus on keeping me healthy and that is important. In addition to being thorough and honest, she is also very compassionate which helps a lot when dealing with infertility.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Stephanie Singleton at Fertility Center of Charleston?

Don't expect overnight results no matter which doctor you choose. As hard as it is, be patient but don't be afraid to ask questions and speak up.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Stephanie Singleton at Fertility Center of Charleston?

Every time I called or sent an e-mail, I always received a prompt and knowledgeable response. I have had a number of health problems since I began seeing Dr. Singleton, including 3 unplanned medically necessary surgeries, so my case is not "normal", yet despite the issues, Dr. Singleton and her staff have always been able to provide me with an answer or a referral. But even more important than answering my questions, Dr. Singleton took the time out to call my primary doctors and specialist to make sure she was well versed in all of my medical conditions and could proceed in a safe manner.

Describe the protocols Stephanie Singleton used in your cycles at Fertility Center of Charleston and their degree of success.

My egg retrieval cycle was done with progesterone (I think), gonal f, ganilrelix. Could not retrieve all follicles because of obstruction. For my donor egg cycle we are using progesterone, estrace, and Lupron. The donor egg cycle is still ongoing.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Stephanie Singleton at Fertility Center of Charleston.

My IVF cycle was approximately $15,000 plus $5,000 for medication. The egg donor cycle is approximately $19,000, including the eggs (I had a credit from the IVF cycle, so we did not pay an additional $19,000) and $800 in medication.

Describe Stephanie Singleton's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Fertility Center of Charleston.

Because of the health risks involved in multiples to both the mother and the babies, Dr. Singleton only does single embryo transfers unless you have a history of failed implantation.

What specific things went wrong at Fertility Center of Charleston?

Lost paperwork

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Fertility Center of Charleston.

I have approximately 7 specialists/primary physicians because of all of my recent medical issues. As a result, they misplaced some paperwork from one of my specialists, but it was resolved in a few hours with only 2 phone calls on my part.

Stephanie Singleton Fertility Center of Charleston

She [Dr. Singleton] explained my PCOS in very easy to understand terms and explained that bc of my situation only IVF would be possible. I cried, bc I was scared, but she grabbed my hand and told me not to cry, that everything is possible and she would do everything she could to help me. I can’t wait to continue treatment soon. She is an angel in scrubs.... She breaks everything down so that you understand. She also tells you the truths, not just what you want to hear.

Everyone [Fertility Ctr of the the Carolinas] from front desk, to lab assistants are so caring and compassionate. It is a very scary feeling but from the time you start with the clinic they make you feel safe and like everyone else. The most intimidating person in the clinic is the financial team.... My treatment was going to be $14,000 approximately.... Jessica is the one who is helping me get back into the system. Giving me information on what tests are needed, etc. she has been a great help. both phone and emails are always answered

How was your experience with Stephanie Singleton at Fertility Center of Charleston?

After being scared to see a fertility specialist for 8 years, we went to see her.

Stephanie Singleton Fertility Center of Charleston

Dr. Singleton said she would not recommend IUI being that my one tube is blocked and I have a diminishing ovarian reserve. I told her my obgyn said I could still get pregnant naturally with one open tube. I asked her to write me a prescription for Clomid to boost ovulation to help me conceive naturally. She told me no and I need to go back to my obgyn and have him write it. She said she recommends IVF. I said I don't have the money to do IVF right now. And I have faith that I can still conceive with my one open tube. She said it's possible, but IVF is your only option. She leaned back in her chair and folded her arms. I left crying my eyes out. She treated me like I was nothing. Just another number. All she wanted was for me to pay for IVF. She didn't even try to help me doing any other treatments first. No medicine nothing. Just pay her for IVF.

The clinic [Fertility Center of Charleston- Mount Pleasant] was nice. Very clean. Front desk staff were nice and greet you. The 2nd time I went there was a wait but not too long. The clinic was easy to find. They appeared fully staff. I think Dr. Singleton is the only doctor in there. The financial coordinator had a bit of an attitude. It's like they don't try to help their patients. If you don't have money go somewhere else.

How was your experience with Stephanie Singleton at Fertility Center of Charleston?

I went to Dr. Singleton for a second opinion. Our first appointment with her was ok. She ran some test and we had a 2nd appointment scheduled. The next appointment she recommended I go back to my obgyn and schedule surgery to look at my tubes because my HSG showed both tubes blocked. I had my surgery then I went back to Dr. Singleton for a follow up. I was so excited to start IUI because my obgyn said my left tube was open and the right tube was blocked. Dr. Singleton said she would not recommend IUI being that my one tube is blocked and I have a diminishing ovarian reserve. I told her my obgyn said I could still get pregnant naturally with one open tube. I asked her to write me a prescription for Clomid to boost ovulation to help me conceive naturally.

You better have tough skin when dealing with her.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Stephanie Singleton at Fertility Center of Charleston?

I felt like she treated me like a number. No compassion what so ever. Just the way she talked to me was so cold. I remember on my last appointment with her I told her I was going to continue trying to conceive naturally and she said you can try but IVF is your only option and I wouldn't put it off given your diagnosis.

Describe the protocols Stephanie Singleton used in your cycles at Fertility Center of Charleston and their degree of success.

Only treatment she recommended was IVF. She said given my blocked tubes, diminishing ovarian reserve and my spouse had a issue with the shape of his sperm. Not the count but his motility numbers were a bit low.

Stephanie Singleton Fertility Center of Charleston

Her [Dr. Singleton's] demeanor, and just her presence in general puts you at ease, making everything seem so easy and calm. When there are setbacks or obstacles, she relays this information in the most positive, yet realistic manner. I felt confident in her care and recommend her to everyone in my area who needs reproductive assistance. I am so thankful I found Dr. Singleton and had the courage to switch doctors...

Fertility Center of Charleston is a small, boutique practice that really gets to know their patients and welcomes them to their "family." I enjoyed going to all of my visits and getting to see everyone. Now since I have "graduated" I certainly miss seeing the crew. Due to the boutique atmosphere, you are not just a patient, you are a friend. You will see the same faces day in and day out, therefore creating a familiar environment in which you feel comfortable. It truly feels as if they are on the journey with you...

Review of

Stephanie Singleton Fertility Center of Charleston

She [Dr. Stephanie Singleton] is very honest and I really appreciate it. She hasn't given us a false sense of hope. I was a little disappointed in our consultation after the first failed round of IVF because she was going to do everything on the second round the same as the first. I don't know if that is what other doctors would do but she wasn't afraid to have me get a second opinion if I wanted one.

She was always caring and making sure we got right to the point. She is great at getting back to you within the day and answers all sorts of questions for me.

How was your experience with Stephanie Singleton at Fertility Center of Charleston?

Dr. Singleton is a very easy person to talk to. She is very good at showing her concern and treating me like an individual. She is very honest and I really appreciate it. She hasn't given us a false sense of hope. I was a little disappointed in our consultation after the first failed round of IVF because she was going to do everything on the second round the same as the first. I don't know if that is what other doctors would do but she wasn't afraid to have me get a second opinion if I wanted one.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Stephanie Singleton at Fertility Center of Charleston?

Listen to the doctors, do exactly what they say. It was very important that I do that when I had OHSS and it saved me a lot of doctor visits because I followed instructions.

Stephanie Singleton Fertility Center of Charleston

[Dr. Stephanie Singleton was] Very knowledgeable and kind. Answered all of our questions. Never felt rushed through our appointments. Very eager to help us achieve our goals and presented alternatives and reassurances to road blocks.... I had two failed IUI’s related to endometriosis and scarring. My protocol was different both times. The first time I took pills and follistim shots and ovulated on my own and the second I used menopur and triggered.

Our nurse coordinator [at Fertility Center of the Carolinas] was very responsive to emails and extremely helpful during our process. Every member of the team was kind and helpful through all of the steps... We live in Savannah so it is extremely helpful that the clinic holds office hours here. Most of our ultrasounds were done here in Savannah. The clinic is small but beautiful and located inside Candler Hospital. For actual IUI and HSG testing we drive to Charleston. I do wish we could meet with Dr. Singleton more regularly but our location creates a challenge.

Describe your experience with Fertility Center of Charleston.

My experience has been great! And that's coming from someone who doesn't have a baby yet. The office is amazing; everyone is incredibly kind and supportive. I miss going to appointments when we've taken breaks. They are such a light in an otherwise stressful time. They're also incredibly professional and I trust them implicitly. This situation would have been a million times harder if we'd been at an office that doesn't have such warm, caring, and confident professionals. We're hoping to try again with our last two embryos sometime early next year and I'm looking forward to seeing them again and hopeful for a great outcome.

Stephanie Singleton Fertility Center of Charleston

Dr. Singleton is by far the most compassionate, professional and driven doctor I have seen while trying to conceive. She is incredibly insightful, knowledgeable and a credit to her field. At no time did I feel like a burden or just another patient.... We have not had any cycles yet. However, in helping me gain control of my body and work on my weight, Dr. Singleton prescribed metformin as part of my treatment plan.

The facility [Fertility Center of the Carolinas] is strong in its patient care and communication. They are incredibly well versed in their treatments and care plans. They have the best of the best as their staff. From their receptionist to the nurses, they could not have picked a better team.... Be willing to travel for her care. We drive from Savannah to her office in North Carolina and it is worth the four hour round trip.

Stephanie Singleton Fertility Center of Charleston

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Singleton. She is a brilliant Doctor who diagnosed my conditions and treated them appropriately so I could carry a baby full term. She is warm and kind. I appreciated her candor throughout my cycle.... We transferred a single embryo that had been PGS tested. We did not know the gender. Since I had a history of RPL we only transferred one embryo to give me the best chance of carrying full term. I fully supported this decision as we knew the embryo was healthy.

They are excellent!! The Center [Fertility Ctr of Charleston] quickly becomes like family! They all are there to celebrate the good outcomes and to support you through the testing, treatment and any not so good outcomes. They follow up with any questions. Everyone is responsive.... Whether I was there for testing, blood draws or follow up, I was greeted warmly and was given the best care. I could contact Dr. Singleton or my IVF nurse directly and if I didn't reach them, they would call me back that same day.

I started with an iui [with Dr. Stephanie Singleton]. I don't remember all the meds exactly but I believe I stimmed with gonal F. Failed 2 iuis. With both it appeared that I had mature follicles and some immature. After a couple of month we tried IVF. I did hcg and gonal F and triggered with lupron. They suspected I had about 9 eggs. I did. Only 3 were mature. Only 1 fertilized. But didnt make it past day 4. She was shocked at my response...She only transfers one...Has a plan in mind but listens to my concerns and takes into account our plans and feelings. So far I have never been pregnant and the course was a surprise to her. She amended the plan for hopefully a better outcome

Everyone [at Fertility Center of Charleston] is very knowledgeable and kind. They are all kept in the loop regarding my journey...I wish they had longer hours. They are 2 hours form me but have an office 40 minutes from me. This office they only use for monitoring. I wish they did more. I do like that the nursing staff communicates via email at my convenience. I can't always take a phonecall. I do wish that my lab results were gone over more in depth instead of being told "looks good" or "your numbers are low ". I'm a nurse, so details are important to me...Calls were promptly returned.

I do like that the nursing staff communicates via email at my convenience. I can't always take a phonecall. I do wish that my lab results were gone over more in depth instead of being told "looks good" or "your numbers are low ". I'm a nurse, so details are important to me.

How was your experience with Stephanie Singleton at Fertility Center of Charleston?

I could write a book- but here’s the gist- 1- dr Singleton is incredibly sweet but her practice and operations have gotten away from her 2- she cannot keep any staff other than the phlebotomist, receptionist, and practice manager 3- her talented embryologist runs the clinic “from afar”- we requested the qualifications of the embryologist who is local and were given none. Subsequently, our embryo didn’t survive thaw. I heard from another patient- same thing happened to her two weeks prior- statistically, that’s practically impossible. 4- she refuses to disclose her success rates- huge red flag We are now with the other practice in Charleston- they are a well oiled machine and a night and day difference!

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Stephanie Singleton at Fertility Center of Charleston?

Do your homework, demand recent success rates independently verified, and request credentials/education/qualifications of her staff

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Stephanie Singleton at Fertility Center of Charleston?

I saw Dr Singleton in 2015- we will be forever grateful for her for giving us our daughter then. But when we came back in 2018, the practice was completely different- the staff is different and not incredibly competent and new, the practice has gotten too big for the one physician, and the embryologist had no bedside manner.

Describe your experience with Fertility Center of Charleston.

It’s a zoo- too many patients, not enough staff. Expect wait times of at least 30-60 minutes. The phlebotomist is also the sonographer- no clue what Sort of training she has undergone but had lots of problems visualizing various things including number of follicles and my bladder. Since I left, I am pretty sure that the entire nursing staff has turned over. The practice manager is cold as a fish and generally unhelpful and unpleasant.

What specific things went wrong at Fertility Center of Charleston?

Failed to call in prescriptions to pharmacy

I literally can write a book. Ultimately, this is not the same practice it was when we were there in 2015. Dr. Singleton needs to take on more doctors and overhaul her staff and train them properly.

Stephanie Singleton Fertility Center of Charleston

Dr. Singleton is willing to answer questions and is very professional and knowledgeable. She has an excellent bedside manner. She also realistically discusses treatment options and odds of success...Prepare a list of questions before the appointment. Take notes. There is a lot of information sharing during the consultation.

I most frequently communicated with the [Fertility Center of Charleston] coordinator via email. I typically received a response the same day, and questions were thoroughly answered...Were were mostly seen on-time at our appointment time for each visit. If there was a wait, it was short. It is a smaller office so at times it is busy with others waiting. The office is clean and well decorated. All staff were very kind and friendly.
