Travis McCoy

Dr. McCoy is very honest and told us, we have options you may not like them or agree but we have them. I liked his approach because my past doctors told me to remove my ovaries and that was all the could do. Dr. McCoy was able to provide me with another alternative. We will continue to work with him and PREG in the future.

See him with an open mind, listen, and ask questions. Going through IVF is hard from start to finish, and it doesn't get any easier. Dr.McCoy has the same goal in mind but sometimes the plans aren't the same, but he is the expert.

My husband saw doctor McCoy first and I went with him. Even though my husband was his patient first he really made me feel welcome. Started my testing right away. Still, as we've moved through the process, Dr. McCoy answers all of our questions in a manner that is on the same level and not above us.

Right now, my husband is on Clomid since 2017. I had endometriosis removal surgery Oct. 2017. After the surgery Dr. McCoy found that our chances were better with donor embryos. We don't have insurance or the funds to afford regular IVF.

In the beginning, I called so much and they never seemed bothered. Always kind and pleasant.

Strengths- kind, sympathize with you, they even know us by first names. Very helpful with all my questions and Holly, she is the strongest person there! She is so friendly and no matter what crazy question I have about future costs, she is helpful and so sweet about it. no weaknesses

IVF treatments are expensive and we have not be able to figure out how we will be able to afford it. We don't have the best insurance coverage, but my husband has diagnostic coverage, I have nothing. I've paid out of pockets so far $4,000 after my surgery.

Dr. McCoy talked to us, in the beginning, about how everything works and he didn't sugar coat anything. He gave us the information about how successful this process is and at the same time seemed exited for the outcome it could bring. He was very respectful and was always there to answer questions.

It can be a long journey, but it's well worth it. Don't give up hope and trust the doctors at PREG. They care and know what they are doing.

It has been a long journey for us trying to have a child. Dr. McCoy and his team were there for us every step of the way. We have been through 4 cycles trying to get pregnant and then have a successful pregnancy. It has been a long road, but we would recommend Dr. McCoy and his team to anyone. The team were just as excited as we were each time a pregnancy occurred and wanted to check up on us with currently being pregnant. They have all treated us with great respect and they have felt the pain of this journey as well as the excitement.

I had to take a course of injections and oral medications to get ready for egg retrieval. We did the egg retrieval along with creating the embryos. We did 4 cycles total. The first one was a fresh embryo transfer and the other 3 were frozen embryo transfers. We tried one single transfer the first two times and then the other two times were two embryos. They did testing to check for different things after the first miscarriage.

Debra was a very kind and compassionate nurse. She was comforting during the hard times (miscarriage, negative pregancy test). She wanted for us to keep her updated on the current pregnancy. She really cares.

The clinic was always there to help and answer questions. They always returned my calls if I had to leave a message. If one person was not there, another would pick up my messages and always call back over a concern. My prescriptions were always called in on time. I'm a worrier and they would always calm my fears.

For the initial IVF procedure it was between 12,000 and 15,000. The frozen embryo transfers it was between 3,500 and 4,000.

Dr. McCoy recommended single embry transfer, but gave us the option to do multiple (two) embryo transfer.

He is extremely trustworthy and thorough and seems to have an excellent grasp on his field of medicine. He teaches me so much and answers all of my questions to my satisfaction. I cannot blame him for my cycles not working. He is very willing to think and work outside the box to give me the best chance of having a biological child possible.

He is the go to RE at PREG for male factor infertility.

Dr. McCoy makes time for me. If I need to talk to him, he schedules time to talk on the phone. He also answers emails very quickly.

Usually did antagonist protocols but did a micro dose lupron flare the last IVF. Very willing to try different protocols if they may be better.

The nursing staff changes quite a bit. There are some that are better than others. They are all very nice, but some are more organized. Sometimes you have to remind the nurses to get meds ordered for cycles or send consent forms to be notarized ahead of time. They are much better here than the first clinic I tried.

Great clinic. They are able to handle some complex scenarios right in their office like small outpatient surgeries on men and women. The staff are pretty stable except for the nurses who seem to rotate a bit more around the different satellite clinics. They DO NOT have a policy regarding patients or visitors bringing babies, toddlers or children to the clinic, and there have been MANY times that seeing another patient's baby has been very difficult for me. I have suggested a policy be put in place and so far none has happened. I cannot think of anything else that I would criticize than the lack of a policy surrounding that trigger.

IUI with donor sperm was about $550 plus the cost of sperm and medications. IVF runs about $8000-$10,000 depending on all the elements.

He is great at guiding the patient to a good choice of embryos to try per transfer.

Dr.McCoy was straightforward and to the point. He did not codel the situation and he was very informative in a manner that I could understand. He recognizes that all people are not the same. My issue may look similar but the cause may be different. He gave me hope. He did not look at my age and my weight and tell me it is impossible. He wrote out a plan, told me my responsibilities and made it a team effort. I felt like he wanted me to have a child as much as I want to have a child. And no matter how discouraged I feel, I still know he is and will continue to do his very best. Even though he gave me hope, it was not false hope. Dr. McCoy shared the risk with me and what I would need to do to offset some of those risks. But he never made me feel like we were on an impossible journey. He is very proactive and personable. I have been other places and he is the only one who I felt I could be as candid as I need to be. He has practiced patience with a few personal setbacks that I have had. And even after I had to stop treatment for a moment, when I returned, he was still "Full Steam Ahead" with my treatment.

Expect to know exactly what they will do and what you need to be doing. They will not leave you in the dark.

Thorough and informative. Everyone that in the office seems to have a very compassionate demeanor

They have a very good record keeping system. Definitely, be prepared for this staff to have everything in order for you. There has never been a question that I called to have answered that was not answered. They have a quick response time, and if they don't know the answer they will find someone who does

You essentially are able to tell a lot just by the way you have been treated from your first consultation at a clinic. We found that true when spending time with Dr. McCoy. He always makes us feel like your time matters to him. There are never any time constraints or feelings that you are an inconvenience to him. He is a provider who is welcoming to your questions and answers them in great detail. Dr. McCoy always gives us an undeniable feeling of hope and dedication. He truly looks out for the best interest of the patient. When first coming to him we were not under the complete understanding of how severe my endometriosis was and how it played such a part in our infertility journey. Dr. McCoy gave us several different treatment options and through shared decision making he helped guide us to what was the most urgent matter.

Dr. McCoy is very informative he provides you with all the relevant information, for you to select the medical intervention that is right for you. If you have questions ask him. He is a great patient educator.

In the current medical practice environment, physicians face mounting demands on their time. With Dr. Travis McCoy we have never felt pressured in time spent with him. Communication begins from the moment you first meet your doctor. The first consultation we had with Dr. McCoy he listened attentively as we described what brought us to seek his help with infertility. Then he performed a thorough exam, completed a detailed medical history, and based on the information he gathered came up with a detailed plan for our next steps. He not only verbally gave us this information but wrote each step down so we had this to take home for our decision making. Dr. McCoy gives you all your options and supports you in which ever path is right for you and your family. Our first consultation he spent a few hours with us and we never felt rushed. He made us feel as if we were the most important priority he had.

We are currently in the beginning stages. We have had our initial consultation and a follow-up. Our next step is surgery to remove endometriosis prior to IVF treatment.

The nursing staff is very welcoming. They have great communication skills. We were highly impressed that after our visit a staff nurse would call to let us know that they knew there was a lot of information covered and if there were any questions or concerns they were there to assist us .

Piedmont Reproductive Endocrinology Group go out of there way to work with each patient. We were able to reschedule due to schedule conflicts a few times and able to get in for appointments within an acceptable amount of time. Everyone is always very prompt, friendly, and phenomenal! Each person there makes you feel as if they are all invested in your journey. So thankful for the doctors, and clinical staff at Preg.

At PREG, they offer a free second opinion to patients who have saw another provider and wanted additional information about treatment options available. We were able to use this great feature. They have a financial adviser who is able to sit down with you and go over each cost associated with visits and treatments. They are able to run your insurance and provide you with the amount of coverage you have. This was extremely helpful! And if you are eligible they have different refund programs available as well.

I chose Dr. McCoy because at this point we concluded that my husband was the reason we were not becoming pregnant. He did a Facebook live session discussing male infertility, just from watching this session and seeing how knowledgeable I knew I wanted to see him. We have only met with him one time as we are just beginning our journey, but before our appointment, he actually read our medical records! He was very honest about the fact that IVF may be our only option to conceive but did not make us feel that he was trying to "sell" us IVF. He answered all of my questions and provided us with detailed information and together we created an "action plan" to help us get pregnant.

Send all information regarding your and your partner's fertility before your visit.

Dr. McCoy took time prior to our visit to review the medical records that we sent over. He reviewed his medical records with us and explained that his lab work completed by our primary care doctor showed signs of Hypothyroidism which had gone undiagnosed. After carefully reviewing our records and discussing our goals together we created an "action plan".

Currently, we are very early in our treatment. Upon reviewing my husband's prior labs and semen analysis, he felt that there was a hormone issue that could be the leading cause of my husband's low sperm count and possibly issues with his vasectomy reversal, but we needed to start with the production of sperm. Based on recent lab work completed by our primary care provider he gave my husband a prescription for thyroid medicine and then sent us for labs. I was fortunate that my labs were fine but unfortunately, my husbands were not as he is making too much estrogen and not enough testosterone. Dr. McCoy started my husband on medication to suppress his estrogen and told us to come back in one month for additional labs. Fortunately, my husband's hormones are headed in the right direction but are not at an average level yet. He adjusted his medication and he will go back in November for additional lab work and a semen analysis to verify his body is producing sperm.

The nurses have been incredibly caring and do a great job at making me feel like a person and not a number. If we have questions, they either answer them or will find an answer for us. I explained that we had met our yearly out of pocket expenses with health insurance and wanted to take advantage of all procedures that we need to have completed for IVF that our health insurance would cover before the end of the year. That spoke with Dr. McCoy and had no issues beginning that process even though we are not positive we will need IVF at this point. They will do what they can to help us.

I really like the fact that they have multiple doctors that specialize in different areas. They offer free initial consultations and are realistic about expectations. It did take us about a month and a half to get an appointment with Dr. McCoy as his main office is not in West Columbia, but we knew that it was worth the wait. The office is really nice and clean. I have not found a weakness yet!

Currently, we have not paid anything out of pocket due to reaching our cap out of pocket with insurance, but our insurance only covers diagnostic testing and a few other items. It has been explained that it is $12,000 per IVF cycle plus medication.

We have not discussed this process.

Dr. McCoy was patient, kind and informative. When we started I was unsure if IVF was the right route for us but he took time to meet with us and go thru everything and had a very positive outlook. He was always reachable if I had questions. It's a very emotional situation and he understood that and was patient and kind every time we saw him.

Ask every question you can think of, he will answer it. He will take the time to make you feel comfortable.

Dr. McCoy was very patient when explaining everything. He spoke with us several times about options before we started treatment. He has met with us already about trying for a second baby from our frozen embryos and was just as informative and patient this time. I was very emotional and his patience helped ease my anxiety.

Dr. McCoy laid out a plan for treatment, I don't recall the specifics now but go in knowing that it is not set in stone. I wanted a schedule so I could plan around that but your body doesn't work that way. Go in knowing that you will have to go with the flow. My eggs weren't growing as quick as they would've liked and I think I had to do an extra week or hormones before retrieval. I remember Dr. McCoy being concerned that we might only get 10 viable eggs and after the retrieval I had 21! Just be patient and know that Dr. McCoy knows what he is doing and trust that he will help you every way he can.

All of the nurses were nice but I think I saw a different one every time so I didn't get to know the nurses.

I was extremely please with the doctor but the clinic left something to be desired. I didn't feel like they even knew who I was even though we would be there multiple times a week. The people were friendly but it was casual. I see posts on social media celebrating new pregnancies but other than congratulations you're pregnant I don't remember anyone celebrating it or I didn't feel they were that excited for us. The doctor that filled in for Dr. McCoy for our IUI was a jerk. He was very blunt in telling us it wouldn't work but I was emotional and it was hard to take in at the time. It was several months before I could bring myself to go back to discuss IVF. And during that time no one checked on us, touched base, nothing. Infertility is hard and I didn't feel like the clinic was warm and supportive but Dr. McCoy was and he is the reason we want to go back and try again.

Much higher than anticipated. Insurance didn't cover anything. Price for the IVF cycle was $11,000 plus labs and drugs. We ended up spending $26,000 total. More than I even thought once I added everything up.

My husband and I had agreed that we would do up to 2 embryos but when Dr. McCoy saw the embryos he came to us and said our embryos were textbook good and only wanted to transfer one. We were nervous because we so badly wanted it to work but he was right, that one was our perfect little boy!

He is understanding, compassionate and honest about the difficulties we face with conceiving. He is easy to get a hold of when needed and responsive to all questions/concerns. He is understanding of the restrictions of my job and works with me to make my cycles possible while continuing to work.

Be sure and ask questions about how your treatment plan s tailored to you. Dr. McCoy is great at explaining this!

Dr. McCoy was very responsive to my questions and needs. He was understanding of the restrictions of my job and worked with me to make my appointments and cycles work (ie phone visits when I could not make office visits). He is very honest about the difficulties we face and is willing to discuss the details of treatments so that I and my husband fully understand.

IVF cycle: I have low ovarian reserve so my injection dosages where adjusted to try and stimulate as many follicles as possible. My husband unfortunately does not produce sperm so when he underwent testicular exploration to look for sperm, Dr. McCoy advised us to have a backup donor for my IVF cycle. I was closely monitored throughout the cycle with ultrasounds and my retrieval date was moved forward based on my progress. Unfortunately, our single fertilized egg arrested so I could not undergo embryo transfer. IUI: I was placed on high dose and prolonged course of letrozole in conjunction with Gonal F injection x3. Once again this was for my low ovarian reserve and trying to stimulate follicles. My first IUI was unsuccessful and I just completed my second insemination.

Very accessible and responsive to questions. Extremely understanding and supportive of me and my husband. I usually see the same nurses at each visit which is great for putting me at ease.

Welcoming and kind staff. They are very responsive to questions and promptly return any calls. The clinic itself is very calming and quiet. I have had visits at both the Columbia ad Greenville clinic and think both are great! My advice to a new patient would be to be on time to appointments as they are very prompt. Oftentimes, you are called back for lab draws, nurses visits, etc within 5-10 minutes of arrival. This is great for scheduling your day and keeping your life on time.

My insurance covers much of my fertility treatment costs. Office visit copays are usually less than $50. My IVF cycle was ~$4K upfront and IVF medications were ~$6K. I pay nearly nothing for the IUI cycles.

Dr McCoy was extremely knowledgeable about endometriosis and my chances of conception. He was very kind and not at all condescending while explaining what was happening to me hormonally. He reassured me with a plan of action that he wrote down for me to follow, including hormonal medications and drawings of what my uterus was going through vs where we want it to be. He gently informed me I’ll eventually need more surgery and explained that he doesn’t take my insurance but that it might pay to just buy a plan for 1 month to make it at least somewhat affordable, since no other surgeon in this area is quite as specialized as him when it comes to good endometriosis removal results. I walked out of the room feeling well informed, cared for, and in control.

Bring a notebook!

Dr McCoy was extremely thorough & answered all my questions in an informative, concise, yet gentle manner. He was very sensitive as is the subject at hand, which I felt was very appropriate. It was nice to be treated in a considerate kind way while also having all my concerns addressed.

He said I don’t need to come back until the moment we are ready to start trying

They are generally wonderful. But I did have an issue with one of the nurses not looking at my chart thoroughly before speaking with me, and made many assumptions about my situation which turned out to not be the case. She told me that my AMH levels were very low, so we “shouldn’t wait a year” to start trying. She said the doctor would explain it more once I came in for an ultrasound on the second day of my period. So I called back on the first day of my period to schedule something, and after speaking with the doctor, another nurse informed me that my endometriosis surgery scarring and the endometriosis itself was most likely the culprit for my AMH results, and that I didn’t need an ultrasound at all. The woman had just assumed I was already trying when we haven’t even gotten started yet. I was planning on finishing my last year of graduate school for social work, since I’m physically limited due to multiple extensive spinal fusions and chronic pain, i won’t have the energy time or capacity to finish it once a child arrives. But based on what the first nurse told me, I decided to pull out of the program until we sort out what’s going on. So it turns out I delayed for no reason, which is extremely frustrating.

The office is very organized and the staff is very kind. The waiting area is lovely and clean, and the wait isn’t long at all. The paperwork isn’t bad either. They also have plenty of magazines, so it’s sort of kid-friendly as well.

He said I can’t afford his endometriosis surgery with my insurance that he doesn’t take, and suggested I buy some if I want to see him for the surgery. He has the best results in the area and I don’t want to have to travel out of state.

Dr.McCoy discussed our history with us in a way that was easily understandable. He listened closely to our answers, with great follow up questions that allowed him to form a complete understanding of our situation. He offered different courses of treatment, and was very willing to work with us.

Get a second opinion! Dr. McCoy was our second opinion, and even though we haven't conceived (yet!) I do have hope. He will work with you within your comfort zone and financial means.

Dr. McCoy talked to us directly and plainly. He didn't use overly-technical words, and gave us his honest opinion on our treatment with another doctor. He allowed me to ask as many questions as I wanted, and was very sympathetic to our situation.

I've been pregnant three times, and miscarried twice, so we know that I can have a successful pregnancy. We had already spent over $20,000 when we came to Dr. McCoy for a second opinion. He advised using different, less expensive, medications to achieve the same result. He was right! I'm producing quality eggs in good frequency for so much less than we were paying with a more expensive options. It's just a numbers game from here - I believe we will get pregnant!

Every nurse we have worked with has shown us kindness, compassion, and answered questions fully, or found an answer quickly. Many of them have been through infertility themselves, and can empathize on a level that is comforting.

PREG is a clean, comfortable facility with kind staff. They have multiple, easily accessible locations that make it easy to work with them, even if you live in a different town. They have seen me promptly for every appointment. They are well organized, willing to answer questions, and friendly.

The 2nd opinion was totally free! Dr. McCoy spent about an hour with us on our first consultation, getting to know us and our history. The treatment at PREG is about 1/2 the cost of the other fertility clinic we used.

Dr. McCoy did a great job of informing us about the possibilities every step of the way. This is a scary process and the uncertainty is difficult, but we truly felt like he went above and beyond to explain what was going on in great detail and, despite seeing all kinds of outcomes on a regular basis, he seemed to legitimately care that this isn't an easy process.

Ask questions! He's great about trying to answer in the best way that he can. Even in instances when the answer is that he simply doesn't know -- he'll be honest about that.

Dr. McCoy seems to legitimately care about helping his patients have a child. He was very careful to explain all possible outcomes in a way that was easy to understand.

My husband had a micro-tese to retrieve sperm. Dr. McCoy explained to us that when he went in for his procedure, he would first try to aspirate sperm in an easier way, but the micro-tese might be necessary. It was and doing so gave us the ability to make five embryos. On my side, Dr. McCoy worked to regulate my hormones with gonal-F, birth control, estrogen and progesterone. The idea being that I am a relatively young and healthy individual so we kept things pretty standard. He also frequently mentioned that we could make adjustments if we felt they were necessary for my comfort or our success.

The nurses are incredibly kind and patient and always willing to answer questions. We even had a nurse who wasn't involved in our transfer pop her head in just to say hello after the procedure and that little moment won't be easily forgotten. Fertility issues are incredibly tough to deal with. Having a team that makes you feel like they genuinely care makes all the difference in the world.

I cannot say enough nice things about the staff at PREG in Greenville. From the women at the front desk who get me checked in without me even having to remind them who I am, to the phlebotomists who make constant blood draws as comfortable as possible, everyone there has been wonderful to me and my husband during this sometimes scary time. I am not aware of any weaknesses. These men and women answer calls after hours, they're patient with people who are scared and don't know if what they're experiencing is normal or abnormal and they're just so good at treating you like a human. I would 100% recommend PREG to anyone.

Roughly $25,000 total for my husbands surgery, my egg retrieval, various blood draws and ultrasounds, my medicines and the transfer.

I do not have any comments.

Dr. McCoy can be direct at times but not in a bad way. He made sure we understood the potential outcomes of all treatments and always left us feeling hopeful for the next treatment. If there is anything to improve on, it’s maybe being more available during our visits since we didn’t see him every time. However, we didn’t need to see him every time so that’s not something we hold against him. He’s a great doctor to have during this process.

Be ready with questions because he’ll be able to answer anything you ask.

Dr. McCoy was very professional but also went out of his way to explain everything about the treatment plan in an easy to understand manner. He didn’t make false promises or project negativity about any of the results.

He prescribed clomid to me (husband) to improve my sperm count with great success. I went from less than 1 or 2 million sperm to close to 200 million. He also prescribed and adjusted medication as needed to my wife to help her regulate her cycle and to ovulate.

I didn’t deal with them too much, as I didn’t need to go as much as my wife. From what I heard from her, the nurses always were nice to her and helpful. The nurses also told me nice things about my wife they noticed during her visits, which I thought was a great example of patient care.

Preg is a great place to go for anyone having infertility issues. They don’t promise you things they can’t deliver, but they will do everything possible to make the process easy to understand. We always felt hopeful when we left our visits, thanks to the staff’s professionalism, kindness, and upbeat attitudes.

IUI was $475. Semen analysis was about $100.

We only met with Dr. McCoy once because we're just beginning infertility treatment. He identified and conducted a surgery that helped with our unique situation (my wife has two ovaries) and we'd have no complaints about the results. However we're just about to begin IVF so not sure what the future holds for us!

Ask questions! Leave with a plan in place.

He took the time to document all the factors to our situation, things we can do to help those factors and how reasonable it was to do them. He answered all of my prying questions :)

Looking at all our factors, age, endometriosis, two ovaries, etc. Dr. McCoy looked at all options outside of IVF to give us a chance and was very helpful at giving us percentages. Based on our previous experiences, he made helpful recommendations and the pros and cons of whether to move forward with IVF or not. I appreciate his open mind.

The system for billing as pre-payment and dealing with insurance has been a difficult process. One of our visits wasn't billed to insurance and we had to correct that.

I would recommend that you make sure you have already thought through your questions and have an idea of what you're wanting. It's good to have an open mind, but have a conversation about how far you're willing to go (IVF, egg donor, etc.) and have some questions written down so that you have a direction to take when meeting with the doctor.

We've just begun the process. It does seem like the charges are high for some appointments, but obviously they factor in that insurance will reduce it.

He was very knowledgeable in my medical concerns and gave his honest opinion of what treatment he thinks will work best. He wasn’t pushy with his recommendation and wasn’t irritated or annoyed with my notebook full of questions.

To be open minded and positive. Infertility is a sensitive issue. Trust his judgement but also listen to your gut. You know your body better than anyone else.

I don’t feel rushed during our appointments and he is very thorough with his explanations

When we first met we had to test out my hug from my ectopic. We then started with letrozole once it was determined I was t ovulating due to irregular periods. An HSG was preformed to ensure my fallopian gives weren’t blocked and it was confirmed they were open and my uterus appeared in good shape. I took letrozole for four cycles with timed intercourse. A trigger shot was administered on the third cycle. We took a break this month and will try again in December. We have not fallen pregnant yet but we are extremely hopeful

They are very helpful and friendly. They greet me with a smile and always ask how they can assist me. They are a great support for the doctors

They are friendly and provide great customer service. They are sensitive to the issues and make you feel comfortable and like a person and not a number. The way their phone system is set up can be annoying. You have to leave a message for the nurses line anytime you need something. They listen to the voicemails and call you back in the order of which the call was received. Sometimes however it can take a few hours for them to get back with you which can be extremely frustrating

We are currently $2000 or so in and have more treatments since we are not yet pregnant

Dr McCoy is a very intelligent man, but doesn't treat you like you're just some number to him. He is caring and compassionate. He takes time to listen to you and your concerns. You definitely do not feel rushed to get out of his office. He answers all questions and gives you hope to your situation. He's a very busy provider and his schedule proves that, but you don't get that sense of rush when you are in front of him. He is also a top notch surgeon who gave me hope when several other providers only had bad news. I had to go into surgery to fix one issue, but he made sure to check other things out in there to prevent having to go back in later.

He is very busy, so be patient. He is worth the wait.

Whether I or my husband were seeing Dr McCoy that day, he acted as if we had just talked to him the day before. He was always friendly, positive, and knowledgeable. He is very smart, but easy to talk to. Very personable and listens.

Clomid and Letrozole to treat my anovulation. Then we discovered that my husband probably hadale infertility. That was analyized and he was give the same medications. We have been through 2 IUIs that were unsuccessful. Taking a break at this time due to finances.

MiKayla is so sweet. I typically communicate with her through emails. She never seems like I'm a bother. She is always helpful.

I enjoy PREG. Unfortunately they don't take parents from self pay patients, so that's made us have to take a break with treatments, but that's the only negative I have to say about PREG. They are always nice and helpful on the phone. Wait times are super fast from the lobby. Office is always clean and quiet. I've been to Asheville, Spartanburg, and Greenville offices.

While I had insurance, I didn't have to pay anything other than copay. Once we lost insurance, we had to pay $475 up front for both IUI procedures.

My experience as a patient has been excellent in regards to Dr. McCoy. With upsetting news he has been matter of fact, which is what I personally need from my doctor. I always know what my options are and what, exactly, is involved with each option.

If you need to be coddled as a patient you may want to look elsewhere. Dr. McCoy is excellent but there isn't a lot of handholding.

I never, ever leave the office with questions. Half the time Dr. McCoy answers my questions before I even ask them.

At first we didn't really know what was wrong so we tried Letrozole with a trigger shot for a few cycles. It seemed like I was producing follicles but there was no resulting pregnancy. We moved on and did a few more tests to find that I have low AMH. Our options became to continue the Letrozole with trigger, IVF with my own eggs, or IVF with donor eggs. We haven't started IVF yet so I can't really say what the results are.

I have zero negative comments about the nursing staff. The three nurses that I've seen have all been amazing.

Every single staff member (doctors, nurses, office staff) have been genuinely nice and considerate. Return phone calls take a few days if it's not an immediate medical issue. On the other side of that, an immediate medical issue will get you a return call in less than twenty-four hours.

My insurance paid a portion of each visit so I can't really give an idea of what care looks like without insurance. I can say that one IVF cycle is going to cost around $6500 out of pocket with insurance paying 80% and not including medications.

Dr. McCoy is strongly against transferring more than one embryo for me.

Dr. McCoy was very detailed, showed his experience in his field, explained in detail about the process and what to expect, good or bad. He also used paper to draw things out to clarify even more, to be sure my partner and I understood everything in front of us.

Lay it all out for him. Tell him EXACTLY what you want.

Dr. McCoy met with me individually, with my partner, explained and wrote things out. He spoke to us with care and concern, expressing his feelings about what could or could not happen. He was very direct and open, which is something I prefer. I appreciated knowing every little detail.

I do not remember the exact protocol.

Megan was AMAZING!! After meeting me for the first time, she instantly built a great rapport with me and made me feel so comfortable. I suffer with anxiety, so she made me feel so calm and at ease. Megan cared for me each time I had an appointment. She would even come out into the lobby to talk to me until I was called back, then go to meet me in back. We have a phenomenal relationship and I hope to get an opportunity to try again just to see Megan!

This clinic is very clean, spacious, neat, plenty of parenting items to read, pictures of past patients & their babies; which is such a joy to see. I love the atmosphere there. Front desk staff are very nice and genuine, being sure to take care of you as soon as you walk in. The bathrooms are always clean, something we all want at a doctor's office. The rooms are always very neat, clean, and prepared for the patient. Last but not least, check out is a breeze. Everyone smiles, they know you by first name, and it's always a pleasure to visit.

The cost for the IUI was expensive for me, but I TRULY want to be a mother so I used my savings to pay for it out of pocket because my insurance doesn't cover it. Also, the donor sperm is much more expensive. I have 2 best friends that I have been previously sexually active with years ago, that agreed to be my sperm donor, but I'm not very clear on what happened with that. It would have been more cost efficient for me.

I can’t say enough about Dr. McCoy. He is a God send. Another doctor that I had seen in Spartanburg recommended me having a hysterectomy after I was hospitalized for fibroids and an enlarged uterus. Because I have never had children in the past so this was not an option for me but my doctor didn’t really refer me to any specialist or point me in the direction of different options for me. So luckily, a friend had mentioned that she used PREG and she was able to conceive with IVF. I made an appointment with them and started my journey to learning other options. After tests and MRI I was told that I had many many fibroids and these needed to be removed before any other treatment could be done for me. I met with Dr. McCoy and he discussed options of removing these fibroids. My main concern was that I wanted to preserve my uterus as much as possible to be able to possibly carry to term with the help of IVF. Any option other than a hysterectomy was something I needed to hear. I also was very fearful that my surgery needed to be done the old fashion way to remove them (surgically cutting and removing them leaving a scare several inches long) versus robotic surgery which was minimal scaring with no hospital stay and shorter down time. Dr. McCoy assured me that he was able to remove my many fibroids robotically and that there should be no complications. He made it sound like it would be a walk in the park which it pretty much was. Dr McCoy ended up removing 31 fibroids from my uterus, yes THIRTY ONE!!!! Later, he told me that my uterus would be normal again after the healing process which was not long, and that I would be able to carry my own child. It was truly amazing to hear this news needless to say. It was recommended that I try to conceive without IVF for a few months and if I was not able to conceive then I would return for the IVF process. To date I have not been able to get pregnant on my own which I knew would most likely be the case. I plan on returning this fall/winter to start IVF with PREG. Without the carrying staff and Dr. McCoy at PREG I would have most likely had a hysterectomy and would have never had the opportunity to have and carry my own baby. I cannot thank them enough!!!

Trust him fully. I was so worried but after speaking with him many times via telephone and office visits I knew he was my only hope.

Dr. McCoy took his time to explain everything in great detail to me, even when I asked the same questions more than once. He is very patient and kind and I never felt rushed. He genuinely seemed concerned if I was unsure or confused about my process.

I will be returning for IVF treatment

The nursing staff and coordinator were very pleasant to work with. I initially had to postpone my first surgery date because of other medical treatments I was under. They were very understanding and I was able to rebook my surgery soon after.

The clinic is very warm and inviting especially when a patient can feel nervous and desperate for information. The waiting times are not long at all and I felt very comfortable for each of my visits.

It was nice to have Dr. McCoy actually care about my well being. I didn't feel like I was there to make sure he got paid. When I began to cry because of the issues happening he was there to comfort me and said that we would be a team to get through it together. The only thing that lacked is that I could not continue to get treatment for how much it was going to cost us.

Do not give up! Continue to communicate with Dr. McCoy and really tell him your dreams and he will do what he can to achieve those dreams.

I felt like a human the moment I walked in the door. I was not just a paycheck to the doctor's office. Everyone knew me by name and still know me by name. It felt good to feel like they were there to make my dreams come true.

I was given clomid at first and it worked for a while but then it was like my body became immune to it so he moved me to another medicine. From there I was taking injections and getting ultrasounds done regularly.

The nursing staff at PREG is incredible. Everyone was easy to talk to and ready to answer my questions whenever I needed something. If they didn't know the answer they would do whatever they had to to make sure the question was answered thoroughly. I felt like part of the family.

The clinic is well lit. It was quite and personal. It was always clean and there was never any issue finding the place. No matter what happens do not give up. If there is any apprehensiveness the staff will be there and the accounting section of PREG will help out in whatever way possible.

For IVF it would be over 8000 dollars and for insemination it was going to be over 1200 dollars.

I liked Dr. McCoy as a person and a doctor, but I didn't feel he was super aggressive about treating my infertility, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. He allowed my husband and I to steer the course through our fertility treatments, but a little more guidance may have been helpful at times.

If you want to actually see Dr. McCoy at a visit, make sure to request that. At 75% of my appointments/procedures I saw a different doctor or a nurse, but I was never told before I came that he wouldn't be present.

I felt like he was very present during our appointments, but he didn't necessarily remember me or the specifics of my case from one appointment to the next.

We used Femara on its own for several cycles. My previous doctor had only used Clomid, so he wanted to see how I responded to Femara. We did four cycles of IUI with the injectables, but no Femara, as he said the Femara would not make a difference. All cycles failed.

I saw several different nurses during my years of treatment at PREG, and they ranged quite a bit. All were nice and professional, but some seemed much more "equipped" for dealing with infertility issues that others. I had two instances where a nurse performed the IUI instead of a doctor, and neither went very well. The first took almost 25 minutes to complete, because of my weird anatomy, and was very painful during and for a long time after. The last IUI I got at PREG was performed by a nurse, who actually couldn't complete it and had to get a doctor to finish the procedure. That one also took about 30 minutes, but while it was uncomfortable, it wasn't as painful as the first.

I feel like the doctors are a strength, but it's hard to know when you'll see your doctor, so most of the time you'll be dealing with the staff. The front desk staff doesn't seem to be trained in compassion for infertility issues. Also, their "financial counselors" are a joke. I made an appointment to find out my cost for an IVF, brought all of my insurance information. She couldn't tell me any exact costs on anything, and the range of costs to us was so broad that I might as well have just googled "how much does an IVF cost". I can't make a financial decision without any real information, so I decided not to move forward with the treatment with this clinic. The doctors do frequent seminars about infertility and treatments, and if you attend they give you a $250 gift certificate, but I was never able to use mine because they don't accept it toward most of the costs not covered by my insurance, and it expired before it was applicable toward any of my bills, and they absolutely would not extend the expiration date.

The costs I incurred were reasonable for the treatments received.

He was honest with us from the beginning and was very helpful along the way. He never gave us false hope but he made sure he did all he could do. He explained things in a manner that we understood and was VERY attentive. He took his time at each doctor's visit espcially once I became pregnant.

Dont be afraid to ask as many questions as you need to because he will definitely answer them.

He was honest from the beginning. He gave us hope and also was realistic about our situation.

We started out with me taking letrazole at the medium dosage and when that didn't produce the results we wanted he put me on the highest dosage. I had to inject the trigger shot each month. He also put my husband on clomid due to low sperm mobility and count. We weren't getting a positive test with timed intercourse so we done three IUI's. Dr. Mccoy had high hopes for the last one but it resulted in yet another negative pregnancy test. He told us we could look into IVF because he felt that was going to be our best best. We started IVF fertility drugs and I was put on higher quantities due to my past dosages not being enough with letrazole. After the first round of IVF I became pregnant and we now have a 3month old baby girl.

Very understanding, compassionate and thorough.

Each and every person we dealt with were nice and very helpful. They always responded back to our phone calls or emails. They made us feel comfortable and always encouraged us and greeted us with a smile.

Our insurance did not cover the IVF expenses but it did cover the doctor appointments and ultrasounds. We had to pay $90 for each trigger shot. IUI cost us $475. The total cost for our IVF was around $17,000. PREG does offer financial options if you meet the requirements.

Dr. Mccoy had a strong preference for single embryo transfer because he said he would rather quantity over quality. Which we agreed because healthy is always better.

Dr McCoy was always personable and eager to answer all of our questions. He was super knowledgeable - especially about male fertility and sperm retrieval processes (which we had to utilize due to my husbands nerve damage). He was very caring and spoke to use using lay-terms, not medical terms we didn't understand.

Don't be afraid to ask questions - this was all new to us and he was very patient with us and our million questions!

Dr McCoy and his staff were very welcoming and understanding of our fertility situation. He gave us hope of having a family of our own. They took the time to learn about our history and what we wanted.

My husband had to have a sperm retrieval procedure. Then I was put on a series of hormone injections to produce a usable number of eggs (I have PCOS, so my number of eggs was never a problem). The eggs were removed and embryo's were developed. Due to my increased level of hormones still in my system, the viable embryos (3) were frozen until my next menstrual cycle. I was then implanted with the 2 most viable embryo's - both of which were successful! I successfully carried 2 girls until the week 20 - when I went into labor. Both girls were born vaginally, but neither survived.

The entire staff at PREG was amazing. They were all compassionate and understanding. When the egg monitoring ultrasounds were painful (I had an ovary that liked to hide) - the nurse held my hand. With all of the blood draws, the monitoring, the planning sessions - we were there a lot. And everyone knew our names and our situation.

The team is very knowledgeable and very, very compassionate. They take the time to know their patients and cultivate relationships. As your planning your family - they feel like an extension of your family.

Total cost was about $15,000 for sperm removal procedure, egg retrieval, embryo development and embryo transfer - and ALL medications for both me and my husband.

We requested both viable embryo's be transferred due to our age - we wanted a better chance of implantation.

When we first started at PREG with Dr McCoy we left feeling very positive however every visit thereafter I feel like they were less than thrilled to see us, never remembered us by name and sometimes we had appointments two or three times a week. My medication pretty much remained the same every cycle with no success cycle after cycle, when asked about moving to the next step of IUI was told it was not much different than doing what we were already doing, but if we wanted we could give it a try. I had to ask for labs to be drawn for my AMH and FSH levels and base line labs. Unfortunately after 10 failed cycles and real no explanation as to why, we decided to seek treatment elsewhere.

Ask every question you can possibly think of, be an advocate of your infertility.

When we had our first meeting with Dr McCoy it was a positive experience however from there on out, he never remembered our situation or mine or my husbands names. He had to pull up and review our chart every time he saw us.

I was started on femara only then after a few cycles of no success the trigger shot ovidrel was added then after a few cycles of no success prednisone was added. Unfortunately none of my cycles ended with success. He diagnosed me with PCOS, tubal blockage and anoovulation. The femara was to due to anoovulation the prednisone was for the PCOS and the ovidrel was to make me ovulate.

Every time I was seen it was mostly by a different nurse or NP, they would ask the same questions multiple times during my appointments which made me question if they were even listening to what I was saying.

Scheduling is very easy and they work with you on appointment times. The billing office/financial office is very difficult to deal with and can get very rude when questioned as to why your bill is the amount it is. Holly at the Columbia office is very un compassionate and rude.

Follicle scan was $182 consultation was $150 all my medications were bought at my local pharmacy or through freedom fertility pharmacy

I only saw and met with Dr.McCoy once and that was when my husband and I had our initial visit. He asked relevant questions and told us about our odds of conceiving and mentioned some possible alternatives if the procedure didn't work. I never heard from him or saw him again throughout the three procedures that I had i the office. I never thought about it until now but once the last procedure did work he didn't call to congratulate either.

I would advise the patient to try several times. I once read that a woman tried six times and on the sixth time it worked. That was my game plan. Luckily, for me it worked on the second try.

The staff was personable. Sometimes they remembered me when I called. They were knowledgeable and gentle during the procedure.

I was told to take Clomid at a certain time after my period. Then I had to come into the office to get the size of my follicles measured. If they were a good size, I had to take my trigger shot that I already ordered days before. If they weren't a good size then I had to wait an extra day. The next day my husband had to come in to give sperm and I came in for the iui procedure.

They were all excellent. Everything about them was spot on. However one time when I was getting the procedure one nurse couldn't get the little tube thing into where it needed to be and she was just a bit too rough. But they called in someone else (can't remember her name but she was white with long straight black hair) and she was awesome, very kind, gentle and she got it in painlessly and quickly.

Everything about the clinic was great. It was a nice size, it was clean and comfortable oh but it was super freezing in there. It was in a great location and nice neighborhood. It was well ran and organized. I never waited long. Everything always went smoothly.

I think each visit was $50. The trigger shot was $90 and the iui procedure itself was $750 (I think). Everything was very reasonably priced. I was thankful for that.
