Stephanie Singleton

She was very personable. She treated me as though I was just as important as the next person and did not rush through my appointment. She listened to me and took her time with me and repeatedly asked me if I had any questions

Go to her! You won’t regret it

I’m fixing to start the process. Not exactly there yet

First appointment was free. IUI is $1800 per round. Medication ranged around 500+. I will pay in total around 2300 for each treatment

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Know that she will tell you everything you both want and need to hear. She will explain everything to you and you will not leave her office wondering or not having an answer to all your questions

I haven’t started treatment but have had all testing and work ups done. Waiting to start

My treatment was going to be $14,000 approximately. This is why I had to put my treatment on hold

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. 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.

You better have tough skin when dealing with her.

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.

I paid a $30 copay. The 2nd opinion was free. They gave me an estimate for IVF. They wanted roughly $6200 upfront, not including medications.

Dr. Singleton was the perfect match for me as my provider. Her 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.

You will not regret your decision in choosing Dr. Singleton as your RE. She's invested, she's real, and has a heart of gold. She's on your team no matter what.

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.

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.

November 2015 - Start birth control for IVF December 2015 - Stay on birth control and start 10 units of Lupron January 2016 - Stay on Lupron (go down to 5 units) and start GonalF injections. Did the egg retrieval, OHSS (drained fluid for a week or two) and froze embryo. February 2016 - Stop medications except for birth control March 2016 - Embryo Transfer and Progesterone (taken vaginally) and results of a negative pregnancy.

She is very knowledgeable as well as understanding........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

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.

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. I wasn’t very firm on wanting it, but not I wish I would have been.

I believe it was around $13000 for a full ivf cycle. That doesn’t include several tests. We spent an additional $4000 in testing.

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.

Strengths- communication and detail oriented about procedures. She is very cautious about over promising but also doesn't want to discourage any hope. She is very busy so sometimes it feels rushed, but she always takes the time to call you herself for bad news. I haven't received good news yet, so I'm not sure how that process goes.

Go in with questions you want to ask, it gets very scientific and confusing.

I did two IUIs with medication. I used GonalF and HcG trigger shot and progesterone suppositories. I have unexplained infertility so I think my cycles were fairly conservative. Both of my cycles resulted in decent follicle production but didn't get a positive result.

We've completed 2 IUI and both were about $1,800.00 plus medications. We are about to start IVF and it's about $16,000.00-$18,000.00 plus medications.

I am about to start IVF she will only do single embryo transfer I believe because of my age I am under 35.

Dr. Singleton was warm and caring. I trusted that she kept up with the latest and greatest in fertility treatments. In the end, we were frustrated because she didn't know what to recommend next—I was diagnosed with unexplained fertility.

Take the time to ask all the questions you have—she won't rush you through.

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.

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.

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.

Our costs are a bit high because of our need for ICSI and PGS/PGD testing. We were quoted around $15,000-$20,000

For my case, she advocated for eSET.

I would never recommend her to anyone and have thought about doing a very candid interview with the local paper to warn other patients. She does not look at the entire patient and explore options - only the best end result for her practice and their numbers.

Look for another doctor.

Dr Singleton (unlike doctors since seeing her) did not explore all treatment strategies with me but quickly told me IVF was only way to go.

They were all very expensive without many options except the usual. They did have payment plans.

None

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.

Choose her!!

We used Lupron, Gonal-F, baby aspirin and Lovenox.

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.

Dr. Singleton is a caring a passionate fertility doctor. She explains things very thoroughly and makes sure the patient understands everything. I felt like she really cared about the end result and not just acquiring patients for her practice. I plan to return in the coming year to continue our journey.

Be open to all possibilities.

~16,000. My insurance covered some of it so our out of pocket costs were around 9,000

For the most part, I’m pretty sure dr. Singleton will not transfer more that one embryo if you’re under 35

Very professional and compassionate. Her clinic is well run and very organized. I saw her for trial transfer and transfer itself only; other appointments were done by her nurse practionier who is very great.

Understand you may not see her at every appointment

Around $3,500 I believe for frozen embryo transfer

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!

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

Excellent doctor. 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

Come ready with questions. She will basically read your mind though.

I started with an iui. 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. I will try again this year with an older protocol.

About $5000 down. We never did transfer so I dont know what credit I have left with them. Waiting to hear back still.

She only transfers one. I am in complete agreement

Very helpful, not only her but the whole staff. If anything I need to know I can call or email and i get a response right away. She cares about her patients. Every visit that I have went to I’ve been very satisfied with the services provided to me. She also reach out to see how is everything going. She is very respectful to her patients and employees. My OB/GYN actually referred me to Dr. Singleton and it was the best decision I have made because I was looking at another Dr. but I was reading some bad reviews but at the time I didn’t care if they were good or bad until I called my Dr. to ask of a great fertility Dr.

You are in good hands!

I haven’t had any cycles started yet, I waiting to try and get approved for a grant so that I can get help to fund the IVF procedure.
