Dr. Telles showed compassion and empathy for what I was going through. She agreed that it’s not fair for anyone to have fertility issues and she was very gentle during every ultrasound. She always asked how I was doing first but wasted no time coming up with a treatment plan for my partner and I. When it came time to move on rob IFV she explained the process in an easy to digest way but also reassured me that I was strong enough to handle it.
The clinic [Kaiser Permanente] was very clean and orderly. It was spacious and felt very private. It was occasionally hard to navigate because it was so big. There was something about it that felt cold and unfriendly, I would have preferred if the clinic had some type of interior decoration or anything to make it more cheerful and less clinical and dreadful. ...

Review of
Tracy Telles is very compassionate through all visits. She cares about your emotions during this process... She also tries different combinations of meds if the current ones are not working. She is open to switching them every cycle if it is needed, hoping that one combo will finally be the right one...She also administers IUI procedures with minimal pain. I’ve had other doctors perform my IUI and they have hurt me, but Telles is very gentle and quick.
Kaiser is not open on weekends so sometimes I worry that the procedures are not working because they try to do them too soon or too late for what my body really needs. It’s also hard to schedule appointments since they only have one person taking calls and scheduling and they are only open from 8:30-4:30. It’s difficult to schedule with work hours being the same...They’re [nursing staff] very friendly and always try to say positive things to keep me hopeful.

Tracy Telles is very compassionate through all visits. She cares about your emotions during this process.
Describe the protocols Tracey Telles used in your cycles at Kaiser Permanente SoCal and their degree of success.
She initially prescribed me clomid and an ovidrel shot to use before an IUI procedure. I have late ovulation and therefore a short luteal cycle which the ovidrel was supposed to help with.
After developing cysts from the meds, she switched me to femara and the ovidrel shot before IUI.
Next, since nothing has worked so far, she put me on femara with menpur shots daily for three days and then the ovidrel shot before IUI.
Waiting to see what will happen next.

Although Dr. Telles was very compassionate, she gave me false hope. With my initial consult, she suggested just doing an IUI and practically guaranteed that would work. A year and a couple months later and I’m still not pregnant. After asking a second doctor to look over my lab results, I found out I have a mild form of PCOS. I should have gone straight to IVF without wasting time, money, or heartbreak on IUI.... She had me try both clinics and femara for different cycles with an ovidrel shot and IUI.
Strength is really only for if your insurance is through then specifically and covers some of the meds by them [Kaiser NorCal]. That’s why I went to them. I didn’t have coverage for any other facility. Weakness is that they are a corporation and don’t seem like they really care about getting you pregnant. They just follow standard protocols without really looking into you as an individual or your specific needs.... It was a $30 copay for any visit for the ultrasounds and procedure for iui.

I felt like a human as she [Dr. Tracey Telles] took the time to explain our options and share her story, however it felt like she was checking a box in doing so...used visuals in explaining things which is very helpful when you are totally lost in this process. She shared her own story which was nice to hear. We leave most appointments not knowing what to do or expect next...You don't leave with a step by step plan and that can make you feel very lost in an already confusing process.
