She was very patient with us and answered our many questions with an appropriate level of detail. My wife and I got the sense that Dr Trout genuinely likes reproductive endocrinology, but just as importantly, enjoys helping people through their journey. Although Dr Trout did not personally administer the tests or procedures that we explored, we felt that she always had time for us whenever we needed counsel or information.

How was your experience with Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology?
Our first visit with Dr Trout was about one year from our first attempts to concieve naturally. We had a LOT of questions, since we were relatively new to this process. She was very patient with us and answered our many questions with an appropriate level of detail. My wife and I got the sense that Dr Trout genuinely likes reproductive endocrinology, but just as importantly, enjoys helping people through their journey. Although Dr Trout did not personally administer the tests or procedures that we explored, we felt that she always had time for us whenever we needed counsel or information.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology?
I would advise anyone seeing Dr Trout to be an information sponge. Get informed. Do a little research on your own, come with questions, and be prepared for answers. Along these lines, I would advise new patients of Dr Trout what a reasonable test/procedure schedule might be for your circumstances, as well as the costs involved, possible side effects, and chances of success for those procedures.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology?
Dr Trout demonstrated thorough medical knowledge, yet also showed plenty of relational empathy from her own journey. She ackowledged our feelings, and the difficulty of the process we're going through.
Describe the protocols Susan Trout used in your cycles at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology and their degree of success.
Dr Trout seemed to encourage a minimalist strategy; starting with scheduled intercourse, then adding in the next least invasive assistance each cycle. My wife and I made some of our own adjustments as needed, but our treatment planhas been incrementally more aggressive each cycle: 1) scheduled intercourse, 2) unmedicated IUI, 3) Clomid and scheduled intercourse, 4) Clomid, Ovidrel, and IUI, 5) currently planning another Clomid and scheduled intercourse cycle, followed by 6) injectables and IUI, and 7) possible IVF after that.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Most of the cursing staff treated us like actual people, and not like nameless "cases." The younger staff lacked a certain professionalism, which is to be expected, but most of the staff seemed to be like-minded with Dr Trout.
Describe your experience with Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology.
Dr Trout isn't the most hand-on with procedures, nor the most aggressive with treatment plans. If you're expecting a "one and done" clinic, this isn't the place. This is not to say that her methods aren't effective, it more a matter of her personal approach to the process.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology.
Our costs were slightly less than what we expected. Each IUI was between $400-$500, Ovidrel was much cheaper than expected at $110/per, and other tests were exactly as expected.

Dr. Trout is good at explaining things and answering all our questions in a way that is easy to understand. She's also candid about tests and procedures that are unnecessary, which we really appreciate since we're self-pay (she didn't order a whole bunch of stuff that wasn't going to help). She is direct and kind at the same time, and I feel like she understands not just the biology but also the emotional toll....
Since we have unexplained infertility, we started with Clomid IUIs, which seems to be fairly standard.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology?
I think it helps to go in with questions prepared, whether about your insurance or your procedures.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology?
Dr. Trout and her staff are friendly and kind. The clinic is relatively small, so we meet the same staff over and over. Dr. Trout spent a lot of time answering our questions about treatment and possible causes for our infertility that can't be explained by testing.
Describe the protocols Susan Trout used in your cycles at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology and their degree of success.
Since we have unexplained infertility, we started with Clomid IUIs, which seems to be fairly standard.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
We've worked with two nurses. They went over test results and treatment plans in person. They are really great at answering questions by phone; they take the call immediately or call back within an hour usually. That flexibility helps because we don't have to go into the office unless we're doing an actual test or procedure.
Describe your experience with Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology.
It's small, which makes it feel personal, and they still do weekend appointments as needed. We haven't seen Dr. Trout herself much; the vast majority of our interactions are with the nurses (and on the weekend, the nurses aren't there, just the techs). Dr. Trout's approach is minimally invasive, which also means you start with less expensive options. We like that, but some people may prefer to jump into a super aggressive approach.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology.
Our testing was covered by insurance. IUIs were around $450-ish, not including the cost of drugs.

She [Dr. Trout] is good at responding to questions and providing information when asked but she is somewhat passive about trying different things and doing diagnostics when things don't work. I had to ask for it, and ask a lot of questions about what other options we could try.... I had donor embryos. We tried a LOT of estrogen to get my lining thick enough, and progesterone. She was also willing to try (and she was the one who suggested) something experimental - an expensive drug usually used to fight cancer, that has inconsistent results in helping to thicken lining.

How was your experience with Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology?
She is good at responding to questions and providing information when asked but she is somewhat passive about trying different things and doing diagnostics when things don't work. I had to ask for it, and ask a lot of questions about what other options we could try. With that said, she is not scary or intimidating and when I told her that acupuncture seemed to work she was very willing to hear it and adjust accordingly which I appreciated because some doctors won't consider alternative methods.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology?
Be politely proactive and ask lots of questions about what other things to try, and what she seeing in the results.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology?
It's a small office and they consistently had me work with the same nurse which meant she knew what was going on when I spoke to her.
Describe the protocols Susan Trout used in your cycles at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology and their degree of success.
I had donor embryos. We tried a LOT of estrogen to get my lining thick enough, and progesterone. She was also willing to try (and she was the one who suggested) something experimental - an expensive drug usually used to fight cancer, that has inconsistent results in helping to thicken lining. I liked it that she was willing to try it and to go to bat with my health insurance provider to try to get it covered.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology. (Assigned nurse: The fabulous Melinda)
It was great to have one person consistently, which was very different from my experience at a different doctors office previously. She is very succinct, to the point, without excessive emotion which I appreciate. She is willing to go to bat for me when needed.
Describe your experience with Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology.
Great that it's small - I don't feel at all like I get lost amongst the noise. I recognize almost all the staff, and the doctor callede from her cell phone one time when needed. It's much more personal than other places I've been.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology.
Not sure how to answer this. It seems in line with others.
Describe Susan Trout's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology.

Dr. Trout is clearly very bright, and is kind, but not great with talking through all aspects of procedures, treatment, medication. I was disappointed that her nurse did 95% of my intake consultation and I only spent the last 5% of the appointment with Dr Trout, where she didn't ask me any questions really about medical history etc, but began prescribing treatment. I feel like Dr Trout is extremely bright and qualified, but I never quite felt comfortable as her patient - she was a bit impersonal and hard to communicate with.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology?
One example: last week I went in to CRE for blood work. When I was sitting in the waiting room, both Dr. Trout and my nurse Melinda walked through the waiting room at separate times. I said hello to each of them, having met each multiple times for my 2 consultations, 3 ultrasounds and 3 IUIs, in which they both were treating me. Neither of them said hello in return and looked at me like they didn't recognize me.
Describe the protocols Susan Trout used in your cycles at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology and their degree of success.
3 rounds of IUI: #1 and #2 w/ 50 mg clomid days 3-8, ovidrel injection. #3 w/100 mg clomid days 3-8.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology. (Assigned nurse: Melinda)
Melinda was very terse and seemed almost dismissive when talking to you. Felt like a strict teacher who you know has your best interests at heart (hopefully) but who your interactions with are not overly pleasant.
Describe your experience with Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology.
CRE is small, so you get to know all of the staff there (even if they don't remember you).
Describe the costs associated with your care under Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology.
Each IUI was out of pocket $450 I believe. Plus an ultrasound each cycle ($150) and medications (clomid and ovidrel were total around $200 each month). Grand total for 3 IUIs plus consultations was probably between $2500-$3000.

She [Dr. Trout] was able to communicate what I needed to know and I understood the odds of getting pregnant. When I asked her how I could increase my odds she let me know the choices I had. I have heard other doctors refuse to allow an IUI simply because of a patient's age. She did not ever tell me that...She saw me for all of my visits. The IUIs were done by her nurse, but as a physician I may have been treated better than if I were not? I do not know that, but she waas very forthcoming about what I needed to know and we had a good rapport.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology?
Be well informed about what it means to be inseminated. Be sure you want to move forward. Come to the office with questions at hand and ask them so you know what you need to know before you leave. Do not be afraid to ask if you are confused. This actually goes for any doctor visit.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology?
She saw me for all of my visits. The IUIs were done by her nurse, but as a physician I may have been treated better than if I were not? I do not know that, but she waas very forthcoming about what I needed to know and we had a good rapport.
Describe the protocols Susan Trout used in your cycles at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology and their degree of success.
We moved to clomid after my first IUI. Based on my numbers I was less likely to become pregnant without medication. Fortunately, I was pregnant on my second IUI for each child. We started with clomid and a trigger shot for my second pregnancy as I nad needed clomid for my first.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
They explained what would happen next. When I called they helped guide me as far as when to have an ultrasound. They helped bridge the care between seeing Dr. Trout. They clearly communicated with her.
Describe your experience with Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology.
It is a small office. I liked that approach rather than a situation where I might just be a number. I felt like she knew all of the patients in her office because it was smaller. Also it was a nice building. Easy parking and of course clean.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology?
Be open with her, let her see your raw emotion, and she will show you compassion and hope!

Describe your experience with Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology.
Every day I walked into the clinic I felt as if I were among friends. Everyone greeted my husband and I by name and always made sure we were comfortable. At the beginning, I felt that we jumped into planning my IVF cycle without getting all the results to make sure it was time. I was disappointed when we had the cycle completely planned out only to get results back later and find that a certain issue had to be fixed first. It was easy to readjust the schedule, but it was very overwhelming.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology.
We lived nearly three hours away from the clinic. They worked with our local health clinic to do the ultrasounds. My hometown clinic would send over ultrasounds every morning and CRE would call by noon with the results and the next set of protocol.

I had a cyst on my ovary that she [Dr Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology] did not remove during surgery because she inaccurately diagnosed it as a poly cystic ovary. The cyst continued to grow because it was an endometrial cyst. Eventually I landed myself in the ER because it was hemorrhaging blood and was the size of my ovary itself. She also missed endometriosis on my fallopian tubes. Also, incorrectly informed me that endometriosis cannot return a few months after a laparoscopy when absolutely it can.

Also, incorrectly informed me that endometriosis cannot return a few months after a laparoscopy when absolutely it can. However, thanks to this experience, I have helped to found a non-profit called the Endo Challenge which focuses on raising awareness for endometriosis and providing ACCURATE information to sufferers. Do not, under any circumstances, go into surgery with Susan Trout.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Susan Trout at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology?

We didn’t get to interact with Dr Trout other than the initial consult and when we asked to follow up with her. She took to the time to explain things then, but we didn’t really feel a connection to her since she wasn’t doing the IUIs. It sometimes felt like you’d get more of her time if you were an ivf patient.... We did 6 iui treatments so a lot were different, but we started with progesterone and iui, then did several rounds with gonal f and occasionally a trigger shot. The last round, there weren’t enough eggs so I took another shot to help with that. All were unsuccessful.

Describe the protocols Susan Trout used in your cycles at Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology and their degree of success.
I don't remember, unfortunately.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
I received bad news 4 total cycles with Dr. Trout's office and each time the nurses called with that bad news they were compassionate and understanding. They have seen so many ups and downs that they could be crude and not care. They take their time and understand what each patient is going through.
Describe your experience with Colorado Reproductive Endocrinology.
A little more comfort in the waiting room would be nice. As a new patient come prepared for a great introduction to fertility and when your blood results come in bring a notepad because you will learn something.

The consults have been very educational. Dr. Trout presents the facts as they relate to you and the options based on the stage of the process. It happens verbally - and I wish there were documents so I can go home and reference the information again.... anytime i call and ask a question they dont remember things about my chart and have to open it up and review it... Scheduling feels mostly based on what is convenient for them vs how to help

Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nurses are all friendly - I did not/do not have one specific nurse so there isnt consistency. Calls are returned within the same day.

Because there is one Doctor and a smaller staff - scheduling can be tricky. I travel for work and sometimes fitting in visits can be hard to coordinate. I like the location of the clinic - easy to get to - although not on my ordinary path
